I cannot recommend eating here. First, the almond slices sprinkled on the lamb korma were rancid. Yuk. They are incapable of recommending or making mild food, despite us making it very clear that our children would not eat spicy food. Both the butter chicken and the Chana saag were spicy, even for me. The butter chicken was not "buttery" at all. The lamb korma was not flavorful at all either. The breads - naan and roti - were fine, though not like we're used to. And all I can say about the mango lassi is that it wasn't like any mango I've ever eaten. You have to know your menu; you have to know what is and isn't spicy, and if you're charging these prices you should be able to help customers choose wisely. I can understand that maybe this particular type of Indian isn't right for us, but that doesn't excuse these issues. read more

We ate inside the restaurant with a 3 year old - service was spectacular and the food to match. Perfectly seasoned and thoroughly enjoyed. Also BYOB, so bring a nice bottle and treat yourself! read more

Doordash BOGO for chicken tikka is a scam, the portions are tiny. Also the chicken was very scimpy and the rice was not it.

Super fresh and good Indian food! The garlic naan was one of the best I ever had, the butter chicken and lamb kebab was also bussinnn! Server was very friendly and nice, she answered all our questions. We also ordered goat vindaloo which was great, chicken biryani was great too, would recommend this place if you're looking for good Indian food, the flavor is read more

Taste fine, but the PORTION OF THE FOOD. 16 dollar for 3 tiny bites of MID lamb kebab. Same for the butter chicken, very small portion for the price. Like a snack instead of an entree. read more

I live on the block so I always walk by this spot. Tried them once a while ago and it was fine but nothing special. Ordered again tonight and same thing. My order was almost $40 and I don't really think worth that. I ordered the lamb sliders and only got 2 and I believe the order was $11. The bread was stale and the burgers weren't very seasoned. The sauce overwhelmed the meat if it was seasoned. The Masala fries were honestly good but I wish they came with a sauce. I was excited about the goat cheese and spinach kulcha but didn't get much goat cheese flavor. When I walked in to pick up, the man at the desk let me keep talking before walking away because he wasn't the person who could help me so it felt very awkward. Every time I walk past, it's always empty or maybe one table sat. I used to see more delivery drivers stopping there but not as much anymore. It's fine but I won't be actively seeking it out or recommending it. I understand why my neighbors order elsewhere. read more

The matar paneer here is more like shahi paneer with a distinct raisin taste, not my preference! The naan is puffy and chewy, free on seamless with orders over $11. Would consider ordering again, just not the matar paneer. read more

After finally reading their paper menu (not digital) menu, I learned that it's halal and they offer a 10% student, teacher and first responder discount! And a dinner combo. Amazing read more

Flames Indian Aroma - Pakora not impressive. Best of the tandoori platter was chicken tikka. 4 for cleanliness. 3 for flavor- will make do but not amazing. - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Very friendly and welcoming. Peaceful ambiance. Me and my friend ordered the veg korma and mushroom shag with chai and mango lassi! Everything was fresh and yummy from the presentation to the servings. We left happy and satisfied. I have to mention also that we are vegans and the chief Kalim catered to our vegan needs. We had a beautiful experience! read more

I have ordered food a couple of time ans found it good. Last night I reordered the same for delivery. The food did not arrive so I called the restaurant and they said it was delivered and they could not do anything. Good food does not always mean good service or good people behind it. Any other restaurant in my experience would immediately deliver the same order again or refund the amount of $54.71. being an Indian myself I can say, you can bring an Indian to the USA but you cannot take out the mentality of greed in business out of them! All thia for a paltry $54.71! Embarassing. Aloke Mukerjee read more

Food was extremely flavorful and delicious. Very well seasoned and the portion was decent. The only complaint I have is $4.95 for ice cream should be at least three scoops. I would definitely Order from here again:) read more

BEST INDIAN/PAKISTANI/BENGALI aka DESI FOOD IN THE CITY!!!! I work close by and decided to check out this restaurant out because was craving some GOOD DESI FOOD and I was BLOWN AWAY! Kind of want to gatekeep because it's a lovely hidden gem but I guess that would be selfish. Everything is cooked FRESH and got to meet the chef who is Michelin trained and so incredibly sincere and kind- trying to convince him to open up a location in Queens because this blows Angel Indian Restaurant (which is great) out of the water!!! I can never find good chai and now I managed to find the best cup of chai in the city - it's done right- too many places overdo it with too many spices, too much sugar, etc. but this was the special chai your dad makes when mehmaan (guests) come over and it was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. The only thing I regret is I couldn't eat everything on the menu in one go! Wish I took a picture but unfortunately I was too busy stuffing my face! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 100% recommend if you want authentic, fresh, desi food this is THE PLACE IN NYC! read more

I was craving some authentic Indian food that would deliver quickly and Flames did not let me down. I ordered my go to Butter Chicken and it was great!

Ok so firstly I frequent this restaurant strictly because of their Naan it's freshly made Yum Today I tried their curry chicken and it was so flavorful. It's one of their better dishes read more

This is a cozy, clean restaurant near where I live. We've always ordered their chicken tandoori and palak paneer. They are always made fresh and hit the spot. Today, I decided to come in to try their samosa, fried eggplant, and mango drink. They were delicious. Tamanna, the girl who was serving was very accommodating and friendly. I also like the mural on their wall that shows a rural scene. I will surely be back. Thank you for making me feel welcome, Tamanna! read more

Looove love love this gem we found recently. The food is fresh and the chef is so accommodating. I can't have too spicy food but I love Indian food. So I asked if they can make my order not too Spicy & viola!!! Done with a smile. Thank you . read more

Great meal on site, ordered shrimp poorti (sp?), lamb tikka masala and chicken tikka masala and a side of garlic naan. Comes with basmati rice. The food was solid and flavorful and the service by Mohammed (sp?) was excellent and attentive without being intrusive, and when we asked him some questions after dinner he was very warm. They have another restaurant in Bryant park. This place should do well and we were happy to find it as it's only been open for a few months. Atmosphere is basic and it wasn't crowded this night but they are busy with take out. Music provided ambiance and its BYOB so we had a bottle of wine. Would like to see them so well and we'll be back! Thanks! read more

No. I wanted so badly to like this place and got it delivered but the dal makhni looked undercooked and had no flavor. The naan was like eating dry flour. Really really disappointed by this place. read more

Amazing food, had the dal makhani and baingran bharta which were both delicious. Place feels new. Spacious seating and lovely service. Food came out fast and tasted fresh like it'd just been made. Highly recommended! read more

Heard about this restaurant from a friend and decided to give it a visit. I have to say, this place is truly a hidden gem in NYC. I've been to countless Indian restaurants in NYC but this is one of the best ones. The food is absolutely delicious- the chicken tikka masala and truffle fries were my favorite. The best part is, everything is halal and affordable! The interior is cozy and cute, and you can tell how much effort was put into the decor. The owner/chef is so sweet; he stopped by our table to ask if everything was okay. This is also located in a pretty convenient area, so I totally recommend checking it out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

I really, really wanted to support this local business. I've been ordering from them the past couple of months and I've come to the conclusion their meals are overpriced and are stingy with their portions. Earlier this week I ordered; food was cold and barely had any chicken. Not even rice!!! Sorry folks your portions are getting smaller and smaller . If I'm willing to spend close to $20 bucks for lunch (a bit much), I'd rather continue supporting other local businesses. Or learn to make it myself. Please review your practices and maybe you'll have me back as a customer. read more

This small family owned restaurant is genuinely a hidden gem located conveniently in east Harlem close to central park and just off the FDR. The atmosphere, beautiful interior, welcoming staff, and most importantly the delicious food made my dining experience extremely memorable. We ordered the chicken biryani, butter chicken which came with a side of rice, vegetable samosas, and the garlic naan which was all cooked to perfection. It was flavorful, authentic, and made with love. Their serving sizes were large enough where I left stuffed AND with leftovers perfect for a midnight snack or breakfast the next day. The chef himself personally came out to greet us and to check on how we were enjoying the food which was so sweet. All in all, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit and I will be back for sure! read more

I went for dinner tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! From the authentic, comforting atmosphere to the high quality food, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the people. Kalim, the chef, personally greeted us and asked us how the meal was, which was an extremely kind gesture. I've tried a lot of Indian throughout the city and this is among the best, if not the best, that I've had. I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala and it was like I was eating a home cooked meal. The garlic naan were fantastic and extremely tasty. Serving size was great and I have enough for leftovers tomorrow. The prices are so reasonable! I pay more for less at other restaurants. It's a great value! All in all, this is a great group of people really trying to bring quality eats and experience to the city. I know we'll be going back soon and frequently. I was moved enough to write my first review. Please give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more
