I had the tandoori wings as a starter and they were quite unique. It was an almost yellow curry rub and tasted fantastic. For the main dish, I had the CHICKEN VARUTHARACHATHU Which is chicken cooked in a roasted coconut curry, served with Basmati rice. It was excellent with some complex flavors. It had a bit of a peppery finish, or "just enough spice" and I would definitely recommend it. A really great experience and can't wait to go back and try something new!!!

The restaurant is no longer in the gas station, it is in the Westshore Mall where the seafood restaurant used to be. I did not realize this because the sign was still up on the gas station. I ordered here partially because I was looking for good hearty vegetarian food as I was attempting to do "No Meat May." I cannot remember the name of what I got but it had lentils, chickpeas, rice and a tasty sauce and other stuff. I also got some dessert Naan which was fantastic! It was kind of like cinnamon and sugar toast with pistachios but the goodies where inside the naan like a quesadilla. I would eat that for breakfast all day every day! Also, in case you were wondering, I did not make it to the end of No Meat May without eating meat but I did eat a lot less of it. I do like vegetarian food a lot. I would definitely go here again and try some other dishes, like maybe butter . Yum!

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 had a few items since I love to sample. The korma sauce was different that what I'm used to but was very tasty. The saag was flavorful as usual and the chicken chili was delicious. The only disappointment was the naan. I asked for it to be crispy and they failed on that one. Although it had nice flavor, it was a bit doughy for me. All in all I definitely recommend this restaurant when you need your Indian food fix!

This is a beautiful space located in Ybor. Sadly it was raining, but the outside patio will be lovely to visit when the weather is nice. The inside is charming and decorated nicely. We shared the chicken Tikka Masala and chicken saag with garlic naan (of course!). Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the Taj Mahal beer and Rupee IPA with our meal. I definitely recommend getting an Indian beer with dinner! Our server was very friendly and took good care of us - honestly all the staff was really nice. We didn't feel rushed and really were able to enjoy our dinner and conversations before the check came. This will definitely be our local go to for Indian food.

We ordered a lot of stuff and everything was amazing but one thing and I will get there. The appetizers were super n Delicious and fun. I posted pics of the food as I don't remember the names of most of the stuff. But if anyone wanna have the food just ask the staff what the stuff in the pictures are and they are able to point you in the right direction. The meals we got Butter chicken which was pretty amazing Lamb korma which is my favorite of all time and it hit the spot as expected. Our friend had this large potatoes pancake that It was ok. I could go without it but it was massive and super cool for the Fran pics They also had a lamb kebab that was our least favorite dish. We had everything family style and they kept the rice coming, and we appreciated that. When the dessert came we ordered this carrot thing and it was BAD! It was warm and salty and had some ice cream on top but the ice cream was not good either. Our waiter was so gracious and took it out of the bill and replaced it with better choices. Shout out to ASHWIN he is a great waiter and we will look for him when we go back. Cause we loved the spot and will go back for sure. The food was great, the atmosphere was impeccable and overall the vibes were great. This spot is our new go to when we want to get some Indian cuisine with an elevated feel. Super recommended!!

Every single dish we tried was a masterpiece--bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and somehow better than the last. Just when we thought, "this is the best one," the next dish would arrive and prove us wrong all over again. You can tell this isn't just food, it's passion on a plate. We tried both veg and non veg dishes which all of them were amazing. Their home made ice cream was bomb. We tried kesar pista, mango, kaju draksh, and pistachio flavors. All of them were delicious. We'll 100% be back. If you are thinking if you should ho here and somewhere else the I would definitely go here for the mind blowing flavors.

It was around 4:30 PM, so I wasn't sure they'd be open, but they were already serving, so I drove over. It's a new spot, open for about a month. The two ladies running the place were very attentive, and I happened to be the only customer around 5 PM. Normally, when I visit a restaurant like this, I order three or more dishes to sample a variety and enjoy the leftovers at home over the next few days. But since I won't be home until midnight tonight, I went with a single dish to test the waters: chicken tikka masala. I give that an A--flavorful and well-prepared. The rice was decent (I'm not a big fan of rice in general), so I'd rate it a B. The service was excellent, also an A. I even tried the rice pudding, which surprised me--I usually don't care for it, but theirs was genuinely enjoyable. Another A. The only downside: they don't have a tandoor oven yet, so the naan was the store-bought kind you'd find at an Indian grocery. It didn't quite match the quality of the entrée. I'd give that a C. Hopefully, they'll add a real tandoor to their kitchen soon. The ambience is typical medium sized family owned restaurant, but bright and easy. The toilet was also well lit, and clean. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. Promising start for a new restaurant.
