I came Wednesday night and asked did they have buffet. Tempe is my home city and their food…read morerestaurants are amazing. Various ethnic groups in Tempe provide a foodies dream. 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. I live in central Phoenix and pulled up my favorite app on the way home Yelp popped the restaurant in the app great reviews. Long work day Wednesday so stopped for dinner mind blown. 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 ended up at India's Flame during a girls' trip this past weekend, and honestly, it was such a…read morerelief after the start we had! 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!

Mental note to self, go down a level in heat to a 2 when ordering because they do it spicy! Their garlic naan was awesome, and the Chicken Tikka Masala was wonderful. The portion size was just right. The true winner however was the Tandoori chicken. We did a half order of it, and decided next time we would do a full order and an order of the Butter chicken to split. The waiters and owners were very attentive, and it was a pleasant atmosphere on the inside. Parking is a bit tight out front but there is plenty of parking out back.

We were very surprised we were the only ones dining but we were extremely well looked after and welcomed. This is a family run business and you can tell. The owners are very proud of the heritage and their cuisine. We let our server (Mrs Owner) choose our dishes and we loved every one of them. The restaurant is a large space which is tiled and glass, so could get noisy if the room was full of people but somehow I don't think that will be too much of an issue. This review is 2months after we are there so I can't remember exactly what we had, but it WAS good. We always support local family restaurants in Tempe.

I had been wanting to come here for a while. The shades are always down, so when i walked in i was…read moresurprised at the more upscale vibe and the nice apparel of the host. what should have tipped me off initially was how amazing it smelled in the restaurant. It smelled more like a spa than a restaurant. Usually when you go into an Indian restaurant, you smell the spices and expect to come home with your clothes smelling like the restaurant. we first ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan and saffron rice. the naan was good and the butter chicken was not bad, though a bit lacking in flavor. the safron rice, i did not like. had an odd taste. maybe its my palette, but i prefer basmati rice. the portion size was really small, even though i was told it was shareable. so we ordered the tandoori chicken. the chicken came out way too quickly. it was not red. i'm skeptical it was even cooked in a tandoor. i ordered it spicy, but it had absolutely zero flavor at all. bland, dry. they bring it out in a presentable tray with dipping sauces, which were good and needed, but i was highly disappointed in this dish. it's usually one of my favorites. we ordered the chai, and were warned its not traditional, but teabags. they brought it out and the tags said English Breakfast on them. they didn't even go to world market down the street to get the good stuff. it was still pretty flavorful though. the mango lassi was good too. the bathrooms were nice, the restaurant is beautiful and there's a huge bar which again made me skepitcal. the 3.5 star rule seems to apply here as this restaurant is more catered towards the American crowd and palette. the servers were fantastic and friendly and again i'm impressed with the decor. it felt more like a Scottsdale retaurant, but again lacking that flavor that you would expect. and it's not cheap either. in the future i will visit other restaurants that are more traditional.

Takeout needed and this place has always caught my eye. They share a parking lot with Sprouts so I've been wanting to stop in.

The khatti dal on the other hand, it wasn't for me. Not to say it was bad, I just didn't quite care for it. Since it was a takeout order, I can't comment too much about the service but this place is massive. Plenty of seating, lots of parking, and great food. I would definitely order from here again.
