I finally made it to Bombay Flames Indian Restaurant, and let me tell you, the hype is 100% real! Ever since I moved back to the Metro-Atlanta area, everyone has been telling me I had to check out this culinary gem. Today was finally the day! My friends were actually craving Crafted Burgers by Shane (which happens to be right next door), but my soul was screaming for authentic flavor-packed Indian cuisine. From the moment I walked through the doors of Bombay Flames, the hospitality was unmatched. I was greeted with the most pleasant welcome. Because the Georgia weather was absolutely perfect today. It was complete with a gorgeous blue sky and a cool breeze. I just had to grab a seat on their beautiful outdoor patio. When it comes to exploring the Alpharetta dining scene, I love stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new dishes. While I usually default to traditional samosas, the Mixed Vegetable Pakoras immediately caught my eye. These golden, crispy spinach, onion, and potato fritters were seasoned to absolute perfection. Consider the bar officially raised for Indian appetizers in North Fulton. I'll definitely save the samosas for my next visit, because those pakoras are a tough act to follow. I went looking for my absolute favorite comfort food: Chana Masala. At Bombay Flames, they list it on the menu as Chole (also known as Chana Masala). No matter what name you use, it features those same incredible, delicious ingredients: tender chickpeas simmered to perfection in traditional North Indian spices, aromatic onions, and juicy tomatoes. And you know there was absolutely no way I was overlooking a side of fresh Garlic Naan. Now, if you know me, you know that food presentation is key to winning my heart. Bombay Flames completely exceeded my expectations! Not only was the plating stunning, but the portion sizes were incredibly generous. I made sure to ask for boxes because there was no way I could finish all of this incredible food. Lunch next week is gonna rock! Everything arrived at the table piping hot, ultra-fresh, and bursting with authentic flavor. I asked the kitchen to crank up the heat to a Level 3 Spicy for the Chole they delivered the perfect kick! But the real standout superstar was The Garlic Naan. It was buttery, moist, pillowy-soft, and packed with flavor. I've been to many Indian restaurants where the naan turns out dry and brittle, but Bombay Flames nailed the texture flawlessly. Overall, I had a spectacular, five-star dining experience. If you are looking for the absolute best Indian restaurant in Alpharetta, GA for date night, patio dining, or an incredible lunch, this is your sign to go. I cannot wait to return and eat my way through the rest of the menu! #AtlFoodie #AlpharettaEats #AtlantaRestaurants #Foodstagram #IndianFoodLovers #DiscoverATL #AlpharettaFoodie #WeLoveATL #NorthFultonEats #ashsaidit read more

Overall, the experience was.... Okay. We had the tikka masala, butter chicken, and paneer makhani. Flavors were good. Disappointed they didn't offer sweet lassi so that's mostly feedback for management. I gave a three because I felt for the portion it was slightly pricier than similar locations. I took off the second star because the service was not great. It felt like the folks kind of forgot about us. It would be stretches between they came to our table but maybe that was just us. Idk I just didn't feel comfortable or welcomed. I'm not sure I would return but the food was good. read more

Bombay Flames currently holds the position for serving my favorite garlic naan in Georgia. The Special Biryani that I ordered was also delicious and quite spicy (in a satisfying way). read more

We went for lunch on a weekday and immediately noticed that the new location is much nicer than their old one. Lunch is now ordered directly off the menu, as they no longer offer the buffet. The service was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. We asked about lunch specials since they once had a sign when they first opened, posted outside, but it's no longer there and we weren't given a separate lunch menu. Our server explained that there were two lunch special options available, one vegetarian and one chicken. The food itself was very enjoyable and flavorful, making it a pleasant lunch overall. read more

The food at this restaurant is amazing. I always get the Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan. My husband usually gets Chicken Afghanistan. Both are consistently excellent. I have brought countless friends and relatives here who also love it and proclaim it their favorite Indian. They moved to a new place in Alpharetta a color years ago and it is really elegant and relaxing. It is never crowded but I see they do a ton of takeout. I get worried it will close be you how many empty tables there are, so please try this place...it is so so good. They have the best garlic naan I have ever had. read more

Ordered DoorDash in high hopes since some friends recommended this Indian restaurant and it was so disappointing. My paneer tikki app was bland, tasted like they only added turmeric and no salt or spice, butter chicken was about a 2/5 and naan came soggy. Delivery came quick so not sure why. Will not be ordering from them again read more

First visit to this new location, we have been frequent customers in the past. We are very pleased to say that the food and service continues to be superb. We praise and recommend Bombay Flames to our friends and family without any reservations. The ambiance is outstanding at this new location. It's pleasant surroundings motivates us, feeling very positive about our dining experience. We will bring our friends and family in the near future. read more

So yummy! One of my favorite places to get indian food in Georgia, the butter chicken is incredibly rich and indulgent, the other food is all delicious and authentic and the staff is very friendly! ! You truly can't go wrong, I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I ordered butter chicken and lamb rogan josh and was given a choice of spice levels from 1 to 5. I chose 2.5, expecting something mild to moderately spiced. Instead, the food was extremely spicy--far beyond what I asked for, to the point that I had tears in my eyes. It was clearly closer to a level 5 or higher. If 2.5 is too spicy, they should mention it. One would expect 2.5 to have some spice, but not unbearably. I called right away on Friday night to explain, and the staff member on duty acknowledged the issue and said I could bring the food back for a replacement--without mentioning any specific time limit. Since I couldn't return that evening or Saturday, I called back on Sunday morning. That's when things took a turn. The owner answered and was incredibly rude in my opinion and dismissive. She refused to honor the original offer and told me that if I couldn't handle the spice, I shouldn't have ordered it--completely disregarding that I had explicitly asked for a moderate spice level. There was no accountability or any attempt to understand the situation. While I take some responsibility for not coming back sooner, I expected basic courtesy and professionalism. Instead, I was met with condescension and zero effort to make things right. The food itself might be decent, but with service this unprofessional, I won't be returning. Thankfully, there are plenty of other Indian restaurants in the area that know how to treat customers with respect. read more

Food is so good!!!! Naans are amazing and come out fresh! Butter chicken is so good! Spice level is 1 to 5.......we have learned to get 1.5/2.....it's perfect for us! read more

Still rice stars after all these years. Bombay Flames is where I treat myself for lunch. My usual is their signature Palak Paneer and I jones for it every couple of weeks. The lunch buffet is gone, which is perfectly fine with me. Yeah...maybe a little more expensive if the appetite is huge...but the single servings are a fine size for yours truly. The spice level is legit, ranging 1 to 5, so you best have your big boy pants on if you sign up for 5. I'm a spicy food lover and 3-4 is plenty. Still one of my local favorites. read more

Exploring the city we wanted to check out Bombay flames on a Sunday night. The service was really good and they really tried to answer all our questions and modify the dishes as we requested. They ask for spice levels and we asked for 2 for kids and 3 spice level for us. But if you are an average spice eater do understand that level 3 was pretty spicy for us. Just FYI They don't have any bone in options for chicken which I would request them to have atleast one of it. We had ordered the non veg platter which came as a sizzler as was pretty impressive. The laccha paratha was an hit with my kids and husband. Chicken Afghani and Chicken Curry were good too. They are the service fee in the bill which on upon asking looked like that has added the tip already for 4 of us. Rest of our experience was good with the Resturant. read more

The best Indian food I have had in Georgia. Their naan melts in your mouth, buttery deliciousness. The Lamb Saag was had the perfect amount of pickled spice and curry. I cannot rave about this place enough. I stop every time I drive through Alpharetta, even though stopping often costs me an additional 35 minutes in traffic enroute home.

This is some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time. I got it delivered but the portions were hot and plentiful.

The place felt a little hidden and it was a little empty when we arrived so we felt a bit skeptical but our server was very polite and gave us their recommendation. The place had beautiful glass art and is suitable for large parties which was convenient since it started to get full shortly after we arrived. Always a good sign for good food. The food took a little long to arrive and our mixed vegetable appetizer was just ok but we truly enjoyed our Samosa Chat The main dishes were also flavorful but our Chicken Afghani was a little too sweet and the Lamb Biryani was spicier than expected according to my husband. Nonetheless, I consider it a solid Indian restaurant to what my knowledge of Indian food is. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant!!! Everyone that I've recommended this place to has felt the same. Their chicken tikka masala is a staple in our home and go to meal when we need a warm, comforting meal. The food is always consistent, well-spiced, and generous in terms of portions. Their naan is also amazing; you can't go wrong with any variation you choose. The service here is great as well. The staff is very friendly and prompt on responding to requests. The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. read more

We have been customers of this long established restaurant for several years. However, our most recent visits to Bombay Flames have been quite unsatisfactory. The restaurant is nicely appointed inside and generally clean looking. Our last two attempts at having a quiet meal has been stymied by other patrons who don't seem to understand how to use their indoor voices, control their children or respect the fact that they are not in their home dining but in a restaurant surrounded by others. Believe it or not, I'm not interested in hearing your conversations. We have tried takeout food on a few different occasions in order to avoid the rude customers. There is no online ordering (which is surprising considering this is 2023) so if we are going to be in this area we decide to call in an order to pick up on the way home. We have learned that the meat in most of their chicken dishes tends to be overly dry white meat so we opt for the vegetable entrées. This generally works out until you actually get home and taste the food. The kitchen has an extremely heavy hand with the cayenne pepper on practically every dish on the menu. Other yelpers have mentioned this and our most recent entrée of okra Bhindi Masala, was completely inedible due to the amount of pepper. That's $16 down the drain and is not appreciated. Particularly since we requested a "level two" spice for the dinner. I'm not sure who can eat food that is so over seasoned. I like to be able to actually taste the food in the order not just pepper. Other reviewers have said that the food was "painfully spicy." Good luck if you want to try Bombay Flames. You will find them on the right side of Mansell Rd east if you are heading west towards GA-400. The restaurant has plenty of parking and it sits at the end of a small strip center adjacent to two hotels. read more

I love this place. I eat here every Thursday and the Chef and Ruschi greet me each time I come in. Food is so delicious and our favorite item is chicken Afghani. We love Chef Singh and Bombay Flames. read more

The food here is pretty good. The non vegetarian mixed platter was superb. Our curries were spiced very well, no complaints! The naan breads were a little bit thick for my preference but that's a minor point in what was a good experience. read more

What ana amazing restaurant serving authentic north indian taste !!!! Totally enjoyable experience!! Service along with the yummy food was worth coming to this place again.

I've been coming here for years and I have never had anything bad here. The shrimp tandoori, the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, pappadum, naan, etc...all DELICIOUS! They also have some Indo Chinese meals (although it's recently been unavailable) that are amazing like the Chili Shrimp. The service is also always pleasant. read more

Had a hankering for some chicken tikka masala for lunch today -- so placed on online order. Super fast delivery -- the chicken and naan were delicious -- and (I'm a lightweight) the #1 spice level was perfect. Will definitely order again! read more

My first time dining here. Lunch was excellent! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala which was spot on. My work colleague had the Butter Chicken which I sampled and it was really good. The owners (chef) came and spoke to us personally: very nice touch! For a small strip mall location sandwiched between two chain hotels, the ambience tries to evoke an old world Eastern feel which they pull off. The interior is charming and inviting. I will definitely be back! read more

We have continued to order from Bombay Flames all during the pandemic shut downs and restrictions and have never ever been disappointed with their food. In fact they have become our go-to when we can't decide if we want anything else. Or as my partner says "I can always eat lamb biryani!" He always gets the lamb biryani but I've tried multiple other dishes including the chicken masala, the tandoori shrimp, the butter chicken, and a few other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. They've always been good - flavorful and spicy and arrived hot and well packaged. Still a favorite! read more

I ordered takeout during their closed afternoon hours and was told it would be ready at 5:30. When I arrived at 5:10 everything was prepared to go, which I greatly appreciated! The food is amazing and as I live an hour and a half away, I will happily make the trip again the next time we want Indian! read more

Great Service and friendly staff. And the food is amazing and delicious. And the place is really nice and clean. The menu is full of delicious dishes and variety for everyone! read more

Wow! I have to admit pulling up that I had some hesitations. It's in a parking lot next to a Ramada that is... less than glamorous. I am so glad that we gave it a chance! Our server was so friendly and on top of bringing me constant water because I'm a spice wuss. The butter chicken was phenomenal! read more

If you're looking for super solid Indian cuisine - this place is it! This restaurant feels off to the side and more of a "hole-in-the-wall" but the decor is super inviting, cozy, and cultural. It wasn't busy when we went either so there was no wait. A group of four of us were sat in booth and we ordered the butter chicken, afghan chicken, and butter naan. The food was delivered VERY quickly with the utmost polite service from our waiter. It was very delicious, tasted fresh, and the butter naan was absolutely to die for. I had some of the gulab jamun for dessert and it was splendid. My only gripe is that I found not one, but two small hairs in my sauce. This is the second time we've come and both times I've had some hair in my food. My friend's wife also had a lipstick stain on her water glass and needed it replaced. Overall: food is excellent, cleanliness can be tightened up a bit. Would return a third. read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive by. But boy you must give this place a try. I have been here a multitude of times. They are phenomenal. I like the chicken tiki and the curry as well. Both solid choices. They have a spicy level of 1-5. I like to get 2 or 3 and they have a good level of spice. I can't imagine what 5 tastes like. I like to ask for chili flakes on the side so I can spice it up accordingly. The naan bread is tasty I get butter ontop and it melts in your mouth. The chicken always tastes fresh and is seasoned to perfection. The tiki comes with onions, bell peppers and rice. I wish they would include a little more rice than the small container but just order more. read more

Very good Indian lunch buffet for $7.99 on the weekends (12-3:30pm). Thanks to Yelp for helping discover this place - I was meeting two friends last month who live in the N. Fulton area and Bombay Flames showed up near the top of my search results. It also helped to see my trusted Yelp friends Angela M, Yane Y, and Paul P give great reviews too. Service was nice, and it's always a good sign to see Indian customers in an Indian restaurant :) Buffet included everything you'd expect - chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori, chicken curry, goat, spinach paneer, mixed vegetable pakoras, chickpeas, basmati, naan, and more. They also had a separate chaat station and our server prepared a nice plate for us :) The location is a little far but close to 400. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely go back. If you live in this area and love Indian food -- or you'd like to try Indian food for the first time -- then I highly recommend you check this place out. FYI - they also have lunch buffet during the week from 11:30-2:30pm. read more

We went to Bombay Flames on Saturday for their Indian lunch buffet. At first I was a little skeptical because of the location, but once inside it was a nice layout and the buffet was well stocked. We were seated and ordered drinks, then proceeded to the buffet. I was quite impressed by the selections; they had everything from butter chicken, goat, tandoori chicken, palak paneer, naan bread, chicken biryani, vegetable biryani, plain rice, homemade pickles, soups, salad, mango pudding, etc. All of which was fresh and tasted great satisfying my craving for Indian food. The servers took good care of us; making sure we were happy with the food and keeping our drinks full. read more
