    Announcing their new Happy Singh restaurant winter 2024
    Marco N.

    One of the best Indian buffets we have tried in North America so far :-) Great value for around $35 Canadian and something for everyone. Large selection of cocktails/mocktails and other Indian favorites. Great service and fast table turns if you are waiting. Came on Dec 29 and the whole restaurant (and staff) decked out for Christmas decorations and cheer! My wife said the Sag was the best she ever had :-)

    Despite the average 3-star rating Tandoori Flame has on Yelp, I think they're better than that. From the outside, they don't look like much. Maybe they took over an old restaurant because the wood looks outdated. The entrance walkway has hanging colorful flower pots but reeked of fertilizer. It was nauseating. The interior is nice. You're greeted by the hostess upon entering, then there is a bar to the right. I think the bar elevates the restaurant vibes. The placemats on the tables are so good. The drinks look really appealing! I took the time to check out the drinks, and they all sound very good. Our server was ok. There was more than one person clearing our plates. The food was good! There was so much variety. The names of the dishes were written on the glass case. I didn't know what everything was, but it was fun to try. They even had a big section for dessert, including ice cream. I would come back! (Also posted on Google)

    Pani puri
    Alykhan V.

    Overall: 4/5 Great Indian buffet in Mississauga! Not necessarily the best Indian food I've had, but it was good for a buffet! Food: 3.8/5 Pani Puri- I was craving this for a while and loved it but could be just because I've been wanting it for so long! The station where you make it yourself is great because you can also add some yogurt. Butter chicken a normal butter chicken! Great with naan - same with the tandoori chicken. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice Indian atmosphere; also, I liked how they had these special fans to absorb some of the smell of the curries, so the smell doesn't linger on your clothes. Service: 4/5 - friendly staff, nice that they had a station where they also make pani puris for you (or can do it yourself). Would come back if ever looking for an Indian buffet!

    We went there for Lunch Buffet on Thursday. Buffet was HUGE! - reminded me of Barbecue Nation in Pune. Paani puri, Soup, 4 appetizer varieties., Pav bhaji, 20 different salad varieties, Biryani, 10 different Entree's , 14 types of sweets, 20 flavors of icecream. And not to forget a full bar! I am sure I still have forgotten a few things! The place is big with close to a 100 tables, there was no wait time, although we did reach late for lunch (2.30pm) Service was fast and everyone was very polite and the food was always warm and being replenished quickly. Food taste was good for a buffet. I am sure it would be better for their Ala Carte ordering. Tha ambiance is very well done!!

    They operate on first come first serve basis and don't accept reservations and you have 1.5 hours to finish your food once you're seated. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly and do a good job of collecting empty dishes from the tables. But, I dont get charging 12% gratuity for groups of 6+, because I don't see the staff offering extra service to those groups. Paying $45 per person doesn't make sense. They have good variety of Indian dishes including many vegetarian options. They bake fresh bread ans serve it. The chicken tandoori and butter chicken were my favorite. The desserts were delicious and flavorful. I'd recommend adding some non-spicy options for groups that come with kids and they cannot eat spicy food; right now, the only option is feeding them fries and no protein.

    I visited the Tandoori Flame restaurant few days back to try their dinner buffet and loved the overall dining experience. There was a large variety of options to choose from including a wide range of Indian food from different parts of the country. For starters I especially loved their Pav Bhaji, Lamb Chops, Chicken Afghani Kebab, and the Chicken Malai Kebab. They also had Chicken Tikka, fresh fruits, Papri, Sukha Panipuri and a few salads for starters. For the Main course there was Biryani, Butter chicken, Butter naan, Prawn, and a few other items including vegetarian options. Coming to the dessert there was Gajar ka halwa, badaam halwa, gulab jamun, jalebi, lemon tart, carrot cake, vanilla cupcakes, and ice cream among a few others. You could also order your own drinks from their menu. The dinner buffet costs $30.99 per person.

    Goat curry
    Naveen R.

    You have to get the goat curry and pair it with the lachcha paratha if you happen to dine at Tandoori flame. First off, they are pretty generous with the portion of meat they serve in their goat curry. Second, the goat is tender and falling off the bone. Third, yes that's right, they're served as pieces that might be clinging on to bone, so be careful before you crunch down. And remember, bone means flavor, so get over it. The lachcha paratha is flaky and layered do perfection with great creased pockets to hold that delicious gravy as you pop it into your mouth. The chicken biryani was not the best I've tasted. I wish the rice wasn't as moist (soggy) as it wouldn't be in a typical biryani which has layers of dry and masala, and also the meat itself was lacking seasoning and flavor. The carrot dessert was moist and flavorful, not too sweet.

    I find it very odd that this place isn't rated lower. The selection is lacking and the food itself is abysmal. Watery and flavorless curries, frozen quality naan, several stale dishes, and probably one of the worst dessert spreads I've ever seen at any kind of buffet. The service is quite good, but the food was bad enough to outweigh it. Would not recommend.

    50% of the bill, Evian is an issue

    Two stars is for the hostess who was polite. On balance with the review. $6 Evian , friend opened it before I noticed it wasn't a bottle of flat water which most restaurants bring to you if you don't ask for anything else like Sanpellegrino ... If given a choice,and Tandoori had it, I would've PAID for Sanpellegrino. Like others have mentioned about the bottled flat water issue, the server needs to INFORM the guest it's a billable bottle of water. The 1.5 hour seating time was ridiculous when we were intentionally early enough to not impede on the guests who would come for 7pm,and later. My preference is to eat at 7pm,and later. Food I knew could be hit,or miss at a buffet I have never eaten at. Especially post COVID drama,people's hygiene was top of mind. I found Tandoori Flame replenished the food slower than I wanted with that imposed time limit. For example, I was not getting my goat,plus lamb without a wait to ONLY get one of the two as my "allotted" time closed in. The roti, I swore there was a hair with the piece I reloaded after the first one that was so fresh,and good.This ruined my meal. Desserts , plus food. I would say AYCE places like: spoon & fork , k&b , Fairmount Gold , Marriott Concierge lounge are better. The server Faraz. In the service industry you ought to know your audience. It dawned on me at the end of the meal when he handed my dining mate the bill he was sucking up to the person he assumed was paying. I was amused at his assumption. I still gave an 18% gratuity for not receiving the "service" directed at my dining mate, for a sort of "okay" buffet where I am serving myself. Another area for a complaint, they preset the gratuity so you would need to deal with backing out of the screen... For an Indian fix. I will pass, and go to a traditional ma & pa spot,or another buffet others rate higher.

    Weekend dinner menu

    What we are told is North America's largest Indian Buffethas reopened with a covid-friendly buffet at the table. Most dishes are decent or good, and it's good value. The chicken tikka was among the moistest I've had and very tasty, but quite spicy. Fried fish was good - lightly coated so it wasn't overpowered by the gram flour, and very moist. The chicken briyani was very moist and really tasty. Kharoda was a good strong bone marrow soup.Bhalia papri chaat was alright. Gol gappe (pani puri) was so-so. Chicken tikka pizza was pretty good. Masala dosa bites were ok. The kachumber salad was well-balanced. Butter Naan was pretty good even if not the best. It also came in a rather large portion unlike the other dishes so we couldn't try another naan. But then I guess the naans are cooked in standard sizes. The mains were a bit of a mixed bag. The kadai paneer tasted good, but the texture of the paneer was a bit off (too soft). The punjabi goat masala had a good cut of goat (very meaty) and was pretty tasty. The mughlai chicken was a bit bland and the butter chicken was so so (not very rich). The chicken curry was pretty good though, with an edge to it. As for the desserts, the badam kheer (stewed almond desert) and gulkand phirni (rice pudding) were both so so. The garam pista jalebi (fried dough in syrup)was good - crispy and sweet with a hint of complexity, though with a bit of an oily taste. They have a lot of interesting and innovative drinks too. Anarkali (rose, pomegranate & lemon citrus, which came with edible hibiscus) was quite good. This place has good service for an Indian place. We asked for small portions (so we could try more dishes) and this was almost always respected. The decor was also very modern. The only annoying thing about this place was at the end of the meal, our server asked us if we wanted falooda and said it was amazing. It turned out to be chargeable, but he hadn't mentioned that so I thought it was included in the buffet. The falooda was alright - quite mild tasting and not overly sweet, with a nice rose fragrance and texture from the ingredients.

    First time coming to this restaurant and actually first time eating at any restaurant in Brampton…read more Came here as a big group of 42 and they gave us a closed off section right by the entrance to the right just behind the soft drinks section. Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted to a very clean and modern ambience that reminded me kind of like some of the big buffets in Las Vegas. Very cool setup where they have 3 self serve fountain drinks which is included in your buffet price. In the middle they have a grilling area where they are grilling Basa fish, salmon, chicken, sirloin steak. The steak was amazing they put this butter, garlic garnish on top that makes it so delicious. I had 8 of these steaks this evening! They also had a stir fry, soup noodle where you can choose your own ingredients, different vegetables and protein and carbs for them to either turn into a stir fry or soup noodle. They had plenty of ice cream to choose from as well as a soft serve ice cream machine. The service provided by the employees were top notch, so friendly, and helpful. Very pleased with my experience and just to note my visit was on a Friday night so your good selections may be different depending on a weekday or weekend.

    We drove all the way from Scarborough to eat at one of your favourite buffet spots!…read more They offer fresh cooked beef to your liking, sashimi, crab legs (on the weekend), soft serve and other amazing staple buffet dishes.

The selection is great for the price.

When we had first arrived, we were told that it would be a two-hour wait, and that we would need to have a pager with us at all times that would be used to notify us once a table was ready. We weren't able to get a pager immediately as they were all being used therefore, we had to wait at least fifteen minutes before we were able to get one. Once we had that pager in hand, we waited about one hour for our table, which was actually not as long as we had expected. Upon entering the restaurant via an escalator from the first floor, we were pleased to see how picturesque it was. With the large windows showcasing the horse racing at the time, along with the tables that boasted their own private television screens, we were impressed with how wonderful and inviting everything looked. Upon being seated, we were given programs on the betting available for the evening's races, which was detailed with everything we needed to know. We also noticed that there was a middle-aged woman coming around, asking us if we were interested in placing bets during our dining experience. The diners went wild during the races, which created an exciting, yet sometimes, loud atmosphere. In terms of the dining, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options were available. Since it was only $12.95 (with a Winners Circle Card), I was blown away at how much food was placed within the buffet area, with an area dedicated to bread with a variety of spreads, another area with salads and other cold appetizers (such as artichokes, cold cuts, cheese, etc.), a hot table (with such items as lasagna, pizza, chicken, fish, and more), along with a dessert section, which boasted a wide variety of desserts, and a few dishes of fruit. All of the items were well-prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, with each item at the hot table coming onto my plate hot (temperature-wise), which is rare to find in a buffet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this buffet, and would highly-recommend it to anyone who wants delicious food, at a low price. The only thing that I didn't like was the waiting period, and how slow it was, considering that many guests usually sit there the entire evening, watching the races and eating for hours on end. Although this is definitely the idea of the trackside buffet, it could have been the reason why we were so delayed in getting to our table. Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, and will definitely be going again!
