This place has completely reignited my passion for Indian food. After moving here years ago, I had…read morelargely given up on finding Indian cuisine that truly impressed me--until I decided to give this restaurant a try. The Chicken 65 was exceptional, easily the best I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked with incredible flavor and balance. The Chicken Tikka Masala was equally outstanding--bold, rich, and deeply flavorful without being overpowering. It's rare to find a place that reminds you why you fell in love with a cuisine in the first place, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. I'm genuinely excited to come back and explore more of the menu. Have only had this from delivery, it's probably even more amazing fresh!

The food was ok. Like others have said it was more tomato-y than other Indian food I've eaten or…read morewould have liked. We ordered Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. They were identical, other than one had dark meat and the other white. The naan was great and they give a generous portion.

I was looking for some quick Indian food and saw this place on Yelp. It was empty when I arrived,…read morebut it was a bit early for lunch on a Saturday. While I was there, it started to fill up and there were quite a few food delivery service drivers picking up orders. That's a good sign. I imagine this food is well suited for takeout. The place is on the small side but clean and well-lit. I ordered a bowl with rice and naan at the counter and pulled a rose lassi from the case. I had paneer with spinach masala and a side of Shack Naan (topped with garlic, cilantro and cheese!!!). My food arrived quickly and was hot (temperature). No complaints. The paneer was firm and the masala had a good texture and depth of flavor. The house spice level wasn't really spicy at all for this dish, but I wanted a baseline. Some Indian places start on the high end and only get painful from there. That's not the case here; I'll definitely go Hot next time. My food disappeared nearly as fast as it showed up... I will be back, even if just for some Shack Naan to snack on.

It was delicious and a nice portion size (no leftovers, which is abnormal for me LOL). For me the medium was somewhat hot, and I can normally handle spice fairly well. I would likely go mild next time... it be like that sometimes! Service was quick and we were all happy with our meals! Great for takeout too, I'm sure! :-)

Well, I said I would give them another chance, and they did not disappoint…read more I have been back to Buzzing Cuisine around 5-6 times since my first poor experience and the quality of food has been consistently good, if not getting progressively better? I have had a lot of Indian food, and this is still some of my favorite in Arizona. My go-to order here is usually between the malai kofta, shahi paneer, lamb korma (please try this), and the chicken 65. I find medium spice to be the perfect level of heat. The depth of flavor in their curries are incredible. The shahi paneer in particular is a great example of how precise their process must be. You can genuinely taste the combination of every spice used, and it feels like they used the perfect ratio. There are so many different notes of flavor and not a single one seems to be drowning out the other. The same can even be said about the chicken 65, but the curry is where this really shines. Also they've been really good about their rice, it was the perfect texture the last few times we've been. I can't comment on the service in-restaurant since my girlfriend and I are the kind of people to get takeout and watch a movie, but I will say the carryout ordering process has gotten significantly smoother. Ordering on the phone seems to be the way to go, and I have not had any of my orders messed up. I have had a couple times where I was awkwardly waiting for someone to be ready to help me get my order, but the wait time has generally been WAY better (like literal seconds), and staff are friendlier. Overall I would probably give a 4.5. Due to how good it is, and more importantly, how *consistently* good it's been, we've pretty much gone here every time we want Indian.

When the young gentleman came to our table, we could barely hear him as he was talking low & mumbling. When we told him we were not there for the buffet, he seemed disappointed, almost as if he was thinking "now I have to do more work". We ordered from the menu, doing our best to listen & understand what he was saying / mumbling. This go visit we ordered a couple different samosas, gotta have me some naan!, chicken biryani, chicken mugulai soup, and some lassi drinks. The mango lassi was def the better one, the other was too salty. For dessert we ordered the kheer & rasmalai. The food was still good, but the service was ... well, it could have been much better. Not just the quiet, mumbling server, but having the dirty empty dishes (that we piled up on the corner of the table) sit there for far too long. And no, at that time of day, it was not full of patrons. Of the few others that were in there, they were all eating from the buffet; they didn't need a lot of service.

Our server last night was so friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu! He was able to answer all questions and made a great suggestion in my entrée. It was a Saturday evening, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but my friend and I were able to be set immediately once we arrived around 8 or 9 PM. We ordered the fried chicken small plate and the green pea samosas. The green sauce that comes with the samosas is fantastic, soo flavorful and yummy! I was worried about not liking the samosas because I have a strong dislike for peas, but they were honestly so good, and with the sauce, no complaints. The fried chicken was also pretty good and came with his own green sauce as well. This sauce had a creamier texture to it and was good, but not as good as the other sauce. My friend ordered the butter chicken entrée and I was shocked to find that at $28, it did not include rice. As a matter of fact, a side of rice was $6 to add. At the price you're paying, I feel the least they could do is add the tiny bit of rice they give you for $6. Anyway, upon the server's suggestion, I ordered the fish curry. I was a little nervous as I tend to avoid ordering fish at restaurants, but it was good and I was pleasantly surprised! I initially thought this portion was small, but honestly upon eating it it's probably a decent portion for the meal you're getting. The $33 price tag is a bit up there, but I'm also not knowledgeable about the cost of Seabass and what not. Lastly, I did order the cheesecake dessert , and found it wasn't for me. I expected more flavor from the donuts baked with it as well as a caramel drizzle, but didn't seem to get that. It really just tasted like plain cheesecake to me, which is not my favorite. My friend liked it though! If you are a cheesecake lover, you'll probably love the desert.

So when I say this place is the best, that means something. After 8 years of exploring Indian restaurants all across the Valley -- Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa -- Flavors of India consistently stands out above the rest. As a vegetarian, bold and complex flavors are everything to me. Without meat, you really need a kitchen that knows how to layer spices and build depth, and this place delivers every single time. The food is fresh, the flavors are rich and satisfying, the customer service is warm and attentive, and the prices are absolutely fair for the quality you're getting. This is my go-to, and it should be yours too. Hands down the best Indian food in the East Valley. I love the ambience. They're very welcoming and always clean.

Tempe housed my go to Indian buffet on Rural and university for over 20 years and it closed. The other night picking up a marketplace find I passed this restaurant.

Yup I'll be back for lunch. Saturday head for Lunch buffet the place is packed and the food was amazing. Nothing from the buffet was bad. Again if you see the ethnic culture eating there usually a good sign your taste buds are about to get very happy with your choice. My new Indian food spot & yes I drive 20 minutes to get here.

We'd actually sought out a different Indian restaurant first, but it looked kind of shady--really dark on the inside and just didn't feel right. I was already feeling perplexed because I'd tried calling them to see if they could do a vegan and gluten-free meal, but their answering machine said they wouldn't even answer over the weekend! I wasn't feeling confident at all. So, we headed over to India's Flame in Tempe instead after seeing they had really good reviews. It wasn't far from our original pick, and I'm so glad we got in the car and went. The atmosphere was night and day--nice, bright, and welcoming. The staff was incredibly helpful and super polite; we didn't even have to worry about running out of water. Our meals arrived right on time and everything was amazing. The Food: * I had the Daal and my friend ordered the Chana Masala. * We were both so happy that we could customize the spice level. My friend likes her food super spicy (it's usually hard for her to find a place that actually makes it hot enough), but they totally hit the spot for her. * Her spice level is way higher than mine so I couldn't even taste hers, but she was delighted! It turned out to be a great experience. We will definitely go back again when we're back in Tempe!

After my most recent visit, I don't think I'll be back. We went about an hour after they opened, and the buffet was already in bad shape. The chicken tikka masala tray was practically empty, and we had to fish around just to find a few small pieces of chicken. The rice was hard, like it had been sitting for a long time instead of being freshly made. They also got rid of the carrot dessert that used to be on the buffet (one of my favorites), so even the selection isn't the same anymore. The drinks and desserts were just as disappointing. The mango lassi was chunky and weird instead of smooth and creamy, and the rice pudding was so thin and liquidy it was almost like sweet milk. The only good thing was the naan bread, which was still warm and tasted fine. The staff has completely changed too. The younger guy with the beard and turban who used to be there is gone, and now it's a bunch of older guys who don't seem to know what they're doing. They weren't outright rude, but they seemed confused and not very engaged, and the buffet clearly wasn't being watched or refilled properly. This is not the India Oven I remember. Everything from the food to the staff has changed for the worse, and the overall experience felt sloppy and honestly a little gross compared to what it used to be.

The only drinks seem to be warm/room temp water. The soda machine is out of order. This place just opened and I've been dying to try it. It took the place of a taco shop.

I'll try this again in a month when they are more organized. The woman who took my order was friendly. (I wish Indian restaurants would put detailed descriptions on their menus!)

Very limited menu, a big shout out to the pure vegetarian restaurant in Gilbert…read more Very limited menu and I like it. We ordered bhel puri, a thali, naan and a gravy. Everything was so subtle, home made, not too much of butter or cream and unwantedly rich. Indian cuisine has changed a lot in the recent years coz People started using too much of cream and butter and food coloring unnecessarily just to enhance the taste and the visual treat. Well here is the truth- it has become the most unhealthiest of all. Well this place is not gonna be finger licking good ddddelicious Coz it's totally purely simple and homemade. A good meal and you won't feel burping and feeling bloated for the whole day after that meal in an Indian restaurant. If you want finger licking this ain't the place. Bhel puri had so much layers of flavors Bursting thru the mouth Thali, naan and Panner gravy was good Naan was really soft. I am big time chaat fan of the place called little India. However the quality has gone down there. This is my new favorite going forward. All the best to the new owners. Wishing you guys good luck and success and hope you stay the same for years to come!
