We've been here twice and both times we've been greeted warmly and helped with out food choices by very friendly staff. By the way, the gas station is very well set up inside. Ample seating room. The food spots well separated from the convenience store area. While we waited for our food, the owner came out both times to share some samples of their other delicious dishes. There is not a single thing I've tried from this menu that I haven't loved. Everything from the chicken tills masala and spicy goat curry, to the chicken and noodles and the lentil soup... all of it has been incredible. This is officially our favorite Indian food restaurant in the Riverview area.

Food was delicious. I got butter chicken medium. My kids got mild. My older son ended up sharing my medium because he liked the spiciness and extra flavor. Garlic naan was good. We also got rice pudding. I'm not a fan of any rice pudding but my husband said it was good. They serve fountain drinks that are Coke products. Plenty of parking in the front.

Heartbreaking food shortages for wedding catering and poor management - Proceed with caution…read more We chose Flames Indian Cuisine for our multi-day Indian wedding based on the owner's personal assurance that because the restaurant was local, they could not run out of food. Unfortunately, the reality was a bride and groom's worst nightmare. The planning process was incredibly stressful. It took weeks to get a finalized menu or contract, and we weren't even able to settle the payment until the week before the event. Communication was consistently delayed. Despite paying for a 200-person guest count and having fewer guests than contracted, we ran out of food at nearly every event. This was witnessed by our guests, the venue staff, and our wedding planner. When we confronted the owner, he blamed our guests for "eating too much" rather than taking responsibility for under-preparing. He promised an internal investigation and a resolution within a month. It has now been three months, and despite numerous follow-ups, he has completely ignored our attempts to resolve this amicably. In Indian weddings, food is a pillar of the celebration. To have our guests waiting 10+ minutes for refills that never came was embarrassing and a clear breach of our contract. I would strongly advise any couple to look elsewhere if you want a caterer who is professional and honors their commitments.

Flames Indian Cuisine just set the bar impossibly high for Tampa's Indian food scene--I've been…read moresearching for a spot that nails authentic flavors without skimping on spice or soul, and this is it. We snagged a table on a bustling Thursday evening, and the warm welcome from the staff set the tone: attentive, genuine, and zero rush. The interior is cozy with that inviting aroma of tandoor smoke and simmering curries wafting everywhere, making it feel like a hidden gem in the heart of the city. We started with the Vegetable Platter--crispy samosas bursting with spiced potato and peas, pakoras that were light and addictive, and paneer tikka so tender and smoky from the clay oven. For mains, the Butter Chicken was pure bliss: creamy tomato gravy clinging to juicy tandoori chicken pieces, rich but not overwhelming. The Lamb Rogan Josh stole the show--aromatic with cinnamon, cardamom, and garam masala, the lamb melting in every bite with that slow-cooked depth. We added a side of Garlic Naan, fresh and pillowy with just the right blister and buttery garlic kick, plus some fluffy Basmati rice to soak it all up. Everything was perfectly spiced (we went moderate, but the server guided us flawlessly), portions were generous enough for leftovers, and the bill came in under $60 for two with apps, mains, and naan--total steal for this quality. No desserts listed, but honestly, we were too stuffed to care. If you're craving real-deal Indian--think Goan curries, Chettinad heat, or tandoori perfection--Flames is your spot. Already booking round two. Tampa, consider me obsessed!

I've heard some buzz about Naans and decided to try it out when in the Brandon area recently. I…read moredecided to get takeout and placing the order was quick and easy. Pickup, on the other hand, was a bit of a cluster. I arrived about 10-15 minutes after my order was ready and the first person couldn't find it on their table of takeout orders. I waited patiently, and a second person who came out to assist was able to find it within seconds. The order had been ready, and on the table the whole time. I feel like they need to rethink their order pick up process, given how busy they are with takeout orders. Moving onto the food. I will say this was one of the better Indian places I have had the pleasure of experiencing in the Tampa area. My order consisted of the chicken seekh kebab, chicken tikka masala, and garlic chili naan. The food was packed well and held up on the journey home. The food was also hot when I got home and flavored well. The chicken tikka masala does only come in medium and hot options, and the medium version I got was quite spicey. I'm used to heat and even for me it was a bit on the hotter side. Overall, a great option for this part of town if you can't make it into Tampa for other Indian places.

On my quest to try another Indian restaurant, I found myself in the neighborhood and decided to…read moregive Naans Indian Bar and Grill a try. Hidden back behind another restaurant. It's housed in a former Wendy's restaurant, and I can see why it closed. It had no visibility. The tiny signs on the building for Naans were not legible so unless you knew the restaurant, people just drive by and think it's abandoned. We arrived 30-minutes after opening and there were 2 cars in the parking lot. My first thought was they must do a great takeout. Entering the restaurant, it was nothing fancy. I'm more interested in the food, flavors, and service. The server/hostess was pleasant, but not at all attentive or checked up on us once. I ordered the garlic naan and chicken tikki Marsala. My partner asked which items are vegan, she really didn't know. At Rasoi in Ybor, the server was asked the same question and she immediately pointed out all the vegan items. There were at least eight dishes that were vegan. Only having one choice and waited 15 minutes to order, we were stuck and he ordered the Dal Tudka. The meals were delicious. The sauces and medium spices were perfect in both meals. The garlic naan was perfect for dipping. I liked the chicken was cut into cubes and didn't require a knife. And, the prices were so reasonable for the amount of food you received. My letdowns were the reason for only 3 stars. They had 8 different guests order takeout. The only customer in there when we arrived ordered by phone and waited 30 additional minutes. He said to the owner he left his house 20 minutes after placing his ordering. There were additional wait times for 7 of the 8 people who called in takeout orders. Our wait time was equally long. There seemed to be ample help in the back from where I was sitting. We were in the restaurant for 65 minutes from the time we walked in until the time we left. Nothing screamed ambience, experience, as well as so few orders for this to occur. One of my biggest letdowns in any sit down restaurant, other than a fast food restaurant is bottled drinks. I like water served in a glass, with ice, a straw, and refills. I'd like to say I would give them another chance, but my partner was hellbent not returning due to the 1 vegan option and service. It's a shame such wonderful flavors were overshadowed by less than great service and extensive wait times for us and the guests who ordered takeout.
