We generally do not venture out to Brampton as it is quite a distance and lots of traffic ! Had family visiting from the US and were invited for dinner at Tandoori Flame . The restaurant is quite big , well decorated and has an upscale feel . There are several dining areas that can be separated into smaller sections for private events . The staff are friendly, welcoming and with big smiles. They make sure that no finished plates are left for too long on the table. The buffet selection is extensive with dishes from various regions in India as well as some Canadian fare & pizza for kids . Almost all dishes were well prepared, amazing taste and delicious ! Breads were fresh from the Tandoor and dishes were topped up constantly at the buffet counters. There is also great selection of Indian cocktails & mocktails. We are glad we made the trip from downtown TO for this dinner ! read more

April 13/2025: Dinner with The Al & Shawn. This was a delicious buffet dinner. Great selection of various Indian delicacies from vegetarian to full on chicken. The Butter Chicken was outstanding to say the least. The house made Naan was covered in garlic butter & fabo! Our server (Ramanjot) was excellent. Very attentive & provided solid service. Be informed however, the fee for the buffet is $40.00/pp! Drinks were also at a premium. Beer was $11.00 & one drink was (Passion fruit with Grey Goose Vodka) was $19.00! read more

Save your time and money do not come here. I had guests from America request to have dinner at an Indian buffet. We made reservations over 2 weeks in advance. Was required to make a deposit of $100 for 5 people.I have never heard of needing a deposit I a have heard of taking a card and charging it if no show. So that should've been the first red flag. Anyways. We showed up was required to wait 10-15 mins despite our reservations. When arrived we were seated. I spefically spoke with the waiter and said we would like tap water. He replied with still or spaarkin? I said flat tap water is fine aware that sparking or bottle is a cost. I went to the buffet and returned to glasses on the table and two bottles on the table. It is natural assumption this is what i asked for since the glasses were not yet there also no new bottle was on the table despite me telling him. After opening and pouring from my husband saw the price tag. We called over the waiter and explained I specifically asked for flat tap water. She said it is open and I should have read. I have never had a sneaky experience like this. They try to sneak an extra charge. Anyways the service was followed with being extremely poor. The 3 staff stood at the front of the dining room staring at you however would not clear the table in a timely manner. We would return from the buffet and old plates were still there. If asking question they were extremely hostile and rude. The buffet itself self is extremely poor quality. The biryani was dry not seasoned and truly embarrassing to show my out of town friends as an intro to Indian food. They do not refill the food quick enough. They are extremely disorganized and food is not flavoured not even salt. Bland and barely seasoned. Ive had better Indian food as takeout. The desserts also were terrible. The soft serve is not labeled.... It is frozen yogurt no label. Fruit selection included only melons and grapes. Also the staff stand a round when plates and foods need to be refilled. When the bill came my husband explained we openddd the water but did not consume also explained I asked specifically for tap water and he added glasses to the table. He grabbed the bill from my husbands hand and returned with it minus. I had told from the start it was going to be split. He handed the total again. He declined splitting it not sure since that is basic request. Instead he handed the machine around. Save yourself the time and dissatisfaction not recommending it to anyone. We also came all the way from Oshawa for this restaurant since it is so advertised. Waste of time and gas. My guests were so uncomfortable it really ruined their experience for intro to Indian food. Will never be returning and will let all know to avoid. read more

Tandoori Flame - Returning with dessert and food plates not cleared despite 3 staff staring at us from the entry ? But not being of service. - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Can't believe we waited so long to visit Tandoori Flame! We had the best time -- the food was incredible, the mojitos were spot on, and our server Simran was an absolute delight. She was so kind and attentive, and really made the whole experience special. read more

I HAVE TRUST ISSUES NOW. We were a party of 14 coming together for our friend's birthday but our recent experience at Tandoori Flame restaurant in Brampton left us feeling disappointed, and quite honestly, cheated. While the overall ambiance and food were decent, I was taken aback by an unexpected charge for water. The staff did not inform us initially that water was an additional cost. We DID NOT ask for water. When we were seated, there were already about 7 carafes (glass containers) on the table. In most restaurants, you'll be given tap water unless you specifically ask for bottled water that you agree to pay for. Halfway through our dining experience, some of us ordered other beverages and when they served those, that was when the waiter mentioned that the water we had (already drank all of it) has a charge, $6 EACH. We realized we were charged for something we assumed would be complimentary, we thought it was tap water! This lack of transparency was quite off-putting and left a sour taste in our mouths. Although the food itself was average, the disappointment of being charged for water without prior notice overshadowed the dining experience. It would have been much appreciated if the restaurant had been upfront about this additional charge from the beginning. As a customer, I believe it's essential for establishments to communicate all costs clearly, ensuring transparency and avoiding any unpleasant surprises. Regrettably, Tandoori Flame fell short in this regard. I gave my feedback but the waiter said that they mentioned the charges (yes they did, again after they served the other beverages in the middle of the meal.) How sneaky! I'm noticing that this kind of practice is rampant in these restaurants serving similar cuisine (not all), which means I just have to be more skeptical when I'm dining in. How unfortunate. FYI, I confirmed that you can order TAP water, at no charge! Obviously, they don't offer it as an option. I asked why they didn't offer it as an option, and the answer? "This has always how it's done here". Noted. Now we all know! Oh, you won't see any prices for beverages but a heads up, a pitcher of beer/mojito was $34. RIP. 1 star was for the decent food. Consequently, I would hesitate to recommend Tandoori Flame based on my recent experience. read more

Tandoori Flame - The $5.99/each water that we never asked for! They look like carafes, right? I have trust issues now. - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Bottle water scam beware. The innocent looking bottle water sitting on your table will be billed $7 each. Regular water is not served unless you ask, and when served the waitress hides it so other patrons do not see it and ask for it. read more

So it's all you can eat Indian food with a time limit of 1.5 hrs and then you're charged extra (14) if you are late. They had a fruit salad corner, Chaat corner, snack bar, mains and sweets. The live stations were not that live and they didn't refill the items getting empty. I would say it's not bad for the cost but also I'm not that impressed with the quality and taste of the food they are offering. Wouldn't recommend trying at all.

Tandoori Flame - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

This is supposed to be the largest Indian buffet North America. I don't know about that, but the selection is huge & the food is awesome. Most dishes are good & some are very good. Besides the usual North Indian dishes, there's also a South Indian corner; it's my first time seeing dosa at a buffet (paper dosa - which is folded up & crispy). There's also DIY chaat, so you can make your dream chaat, breaking all the rules if necessary. There're no instructions though so if you don't know what you're doing, too bad. There's a Kids Corner, which is not an afterthought - the fries are really good. They also have a huge dessert section with Western as well as India desserts & not just the usual dishes like gulab jamun - there's also petha. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/ early supper and found the buffet to be still quite well stocked. Service was at first quite quick but after initially getting served and my drink order taken it was a bit slow to get another drink or have plates taken away. Will likely return again when I'm next in the mood for an Indian buffet. read more

Tandoori Flame - Goat biryani, goat masala, channa masala, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, and samosas. - Indian Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

So I had the chance to try out the famed restaurant in Toronto. It's quite priced at nearly $30 per person. However, I felt the quality below par. The food was oily, greasy, and had a high amount of salt or cream. Anything which resembled healthy was knocked off the menu still, I just could not believe the large number of people which had come to this place. Felt like it's just living off its past reputation. While I could force my elder son to eat the stuff since we have paid so much money, my three year old, who doesn't understand financials choose what was actually the most eatable thing in the menu, which was fruits and Salad. Anything which was cooked , seemed either overcooked or undercooked. At the end, I spent one hour at the restaurant, had my stomach full, but my soul empty. read more

Went to this location for lunch. Curries we're pretty legit, good assortment of meat and vegetarian options. Several stations to choose from, including Indian street snacks, soups, salads, fast food (pizza/ fries, etc.), tandoori dishes, veggie curries, fruit and deserts. Overall pretty decent for the price, you won't go hungry. Service was pretty quick and attentive. Quite a few corporate patrons, along with families and a casual diners. Nice ambiance and decor. Recommend. read more

Last week my Friends had their Wedding Dinner there. A group of 65 people. Reservations were made a month in advance. We got there at 8:20 and spoke to a server. Told her we were here for the Wedding dinner of ------- and ------. She spoke to someone else who spoke to someone else after they both said they don't know anything about it. They the 3 person came out and said follow them. We set up the tables with party favours and napkins etc. Now, guests starts arriving. First server comes and takes our drink orders. 15 mins went by so we left and went to get food. The line was long so another 15 mins in the line. Got back to the table just as she brought the drinks. No ice in the drinks nor on the side. She came back to the table after 20 mins or so to take drink orders again. We waited 40 mins for this set of drinks. I had to leave my food. Go to the bar, ask for ice and ask where the drinks were and how much longer? I mean we were eating. The food was neither here nor there except for the very fresh chicken dishes. I enjoyed the Fish Pakora that was it. I had to call the servers to pick up empty dishes from the table. Go to the bar for ice everytime. There were 8 of us on a table and we kept getting 1 glass of ice. The disappointment in the Service received on such a special occasion for this couple is beyond words. The Manager didn't come out to say thank you or to even ask how everything was going? Between the food and the service giving 2 stars was hard. NEVER AGAIN ‼ read more

Tandoori Flame is one of the biggest Indian Grand Buffet in North America. I have been going here since last 9-10 years. I have some golden memories attached to this place. I came from India to Canada in 2008 as a student. As students we have to go through some struggling years initially, however those days passed nicely as I had good company of friends. We used to work hard and study hard, however always used to take out time to go out to eat good food. Tandoori Flame used to be our go to place, as it has all the amazing Indian flavours under one roof and atmosphere is so electrifying. They have evolved with time. Inside the ambience is so beautiful and colourful, sometimes they also have live music. It's very popular restaurant among celebrities as well. Last year I met the most funniest guy Russel Peter here, he had come here with his family and friends. Food is always delicious and fresh, they have large varieties of dishes here for every palate. I love their salad bar and live grill station. Every time I go, I never miss broccoli and carrot salad, grilled chicken tikka and fried fish pakora. Butter chicken, mutton curry and Karahi paneer are very flavourful with butter naan. My wife has a sweet tooth and she loves their desert counter. They also have a well maintained bar named as " Thekka " It's a must try place, the over all experience is fabulous and worth the price. read more

I always bring my friends who wants to try Indian food and this place has everything. We have an autistic child who only eats Mc Donald fries and nothing else. We can't leave him in the car so we have to bring him inside. The restaurant also charged the child. Their explanation is, the child will taste their food. The child did not even touch the food, look nor smell, all he does was play with his IPad. read more

Warning!! If you go to this place on weekdays (lunch or dinner), you'll get stale leftovers from the weekend. We went on Monday night and every single item tasted like it had been sitting out since the weekend. The tandoori items were dry and flavorless. Paneer hariyali tikka was hard and the fish pakora tasted funny - again all pointing to old stale food. We went for dinner around 6 pm so this food was at least made 24 hour before. None of the non-veg curries were any good. In veg, the dal and aloo baigan were okay. Everything else was straight up bakwaas. We finally expected to just eat the deserts and leave but except gulab jamun, other deserts were bland. Our last hope was ice cream and but ALL of the flavors were fully melted because the freezer wasn't cold enough. The server didn't even ask how we were doing, probably because they knew the food wasn't great. When I complained to the server, he simply said he only manages tables and the kitchen is out of his territory. It felt like the owners were being cheap with everything, from the quality of the food to maintaining their freezers. How these guys dare to charge $34.99 for this horrendous buffet is beyond me. If you still decide to go after reading this, you'll remember this warning while coming out of the restaurant. read more

I went to Tandoori Flame for the first time, and it did not disappoint! There were so many authentic induan dishes and desserts! If you like induan food this place has it all! I highly recommended it!!! AND the place made me feel like I was in a indian hotel with the interior! And if you need any help just get the waiter's attention and they will gladly assist you! read more

Decided to go here cause my mom was curious and wanted to check it out. To sum it up.. what Mandarin is to Asian food, Tandoori Flame is to Indian food. It is pretty much mass food you get at a buffet with only a few standouts. What I liked: - Butter chicken - Samosa - Biryani Rice - Chicken Pakora Everything else was just meh for me. The only thing I really disliked was the Masala Shikanji, a indian lemonade drink. Granted, maybe it is because I'm not use to this drink but I found it very pungent and almost bitter. Definitely not to my taste. Overall, I recommend just going to an Indian restaurant to get better quality. I dont really see the cost saving unless you are going with a big family. read more

The service, the variety and mainly the cost they are offering!!! Must try place in GTA

First time at this location. This location is known as the largest Indian buffet restaurant in North America. Dinner buffets on Monday to Thursday is $29.99 plus tax per adult. Alcoholic drinks a bit pricey here so be prepared. Also coffee or tea are also extra. The curries here were amazing. Much better than their other location. Chicken and goat meat were fresh and so the food was not spoiled. The vegetable curries were also very tasty snd went with the rice or bread sides they offered. Can not find a curry any better than here. Desserts were the usual ice cream and fruit variety with some cakes and Indian style desserts. Most of the food stations were open and the few Indian starters were awesome also. Did not like the meat soup they had tonight. Think it was goat. It was good it wasn't salty but tasted like more like a broth. The staff were quick in clesring up the table of plates used. Also made sure we always had napkins to use. It was a steady evening but not busy at all. Very nice. Just the way i like dining out. There weren't many children and no crying infants either. Would recommend this buffet restaurant. read more

This is a ACYE place which has a great selection of Indian dishes which included curries, pakora chicken/fish, Hakka dishes, biryani, butter chicken, and more. Came here for the first time for Sunday brunch. There's just so many dishes which is great if you want to have the full experience of Indian cuisine. The place had a very warm atmosphere with modern Indian decor and very spacious. We manage to try a bit of everything and here are the items that are must try: 1) Chicken Pakora - nicely done! 2) Pani Puri - first time trying this snack and its delicious (you need to crack a hole on top of the hollow crisp deep fried cracker and stuff it with chickpeas & potatoes and pour spicy water) - see pic below 3) Butter Chicken - very good! 4) Goat with spinach stew - I don't like goat but my husband and daughter loved this dish 5) Masala Dosa - similar to a crepe and this was my favourite! 6) Aloo Puri - spicy potatoes served with deep fried bread - tried this for the 1st time...personally it wasn't something that I liked but my daughter liked it Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back if we feel like Indian food. read more

I am visiting the area from US and thought of checking this place as it looked good.. I can now say that it is a Hyped Indian restaurant with no real taste or attention to quality.. (specially for the money) The ambience is attractive but I would rather consider it a trap.. there was no real taste in any of the food offered.. most of the food was very oily, or seemed like it has been sitting there for long.. for the price it is definitely NOT worth the visit. Fruits did not look fresh.. no water or drinks are offered as part of the buffet.. the ice cream was dripping and not firm.. rice pudding (kheer) was watery .. tandoori chicken had some thick creamy gravy around it.. all curries were oily, most of the stuff we had to request multiple times to be refilled.. Service was poor .. servers are rather busy chatting amongst themselves instead of focusing on customers.. I do not recommend this place if you want to enjoy your food.. read more

I was super excited to come here after finding out that it was allegedly the largest Indian buffet in North America. My first impression was that the decor was pretty well thought out and it definitely added a lot to the ambiance. It seems like during the week, the selection is slightly less than during the weekends which makes sense but there was still more than enough to choose from. I'm not sure how it is on the weekends but we had no wait for a group of 6 on a Tuesday evening. It started to get pretty packed but there's so much space that I don't think there's really a concern about not getting a table. Food-wise, the Saag Paneer was hands down my favorite. It was one of the few items I tried that had a little bit of a spicy kick to it. Butter chicken is obviously is a classic so definitely recommend that. Also, I normally don't eat goat but their goat curry was also a hit for me. For dessert, there were a lot of options from halwa to gulab jamun to kheer. Obviously had to get all of them and they were all great! Kheer is #1 for me and gulab jamun a close second. Also they have fruit and ice cream (but that's not as fun). There are lot of cool drink options too aside from the usual mango lassi. I didn't get anything because I wanted to save my calories for the food but I was really drawn to the blueberry lassi. read more

What a waste of time and money. There were just two starters in veg and both were ok. The Onion rings and fires were cold and soggy, the dosa had merely any masala, the sambar was just full of spices, the Pao bhaji was as if the chef dropped box of spices and forgot to add any vegetables, the dal makhni too was just loads of spices and no taste, the Pani Puri had couple hair strands and its water tasted just bland cold water. The only thing I ate was ghee rice(plain), papad, fruits and small petha. All in all wouldn't recommend. Either the chef should taste what they are cooking or chef should be changed all together as the quality and standards have fallen down. Also, we requested a wheelchair accessible seating, but we had to keep bumping in other guests and only after repetitive complaining they helped us read more

VEGAN OPTIONS - Not really. It's Indian food, so you should ask based on whichever dishes you're planning to eat. But it's *highly* likely that everything contains at least a little bit of butter, ghee, or a dollop of yogurt, somehow somewhere. Trust me on this. This is LARGE scale Indian buffet at it's best. Although none of the options are specifically amazing, the fact that there is SO much selection, and that everything is SO decent overall is a triumph. This place gets packed on the regular, with people showing up right until the last 30 minutes til closing time. Even then, the food is still fresh, hot and being replenished as needed. If you've been to a few Indian buffets, you know that this is not always the case. Often times the food is either old, cold, or not replenished for the last hour(s) of the night. That is never the case at Tandoori Flame. This place keeps the fires going until the doors are officially closed. Probably the best part about this buffet is the golgappe bar. Those in the know understand that you basically get your money's worth off that alone! Most places in the GTA charge about $5 for 5-8 puris. So, the fact that you can have as many as you want here, with an unlimited supply of pani and puris, is a total score! And the pani is good. So are the chutneys. My husband also really enjoys the seekh kebab selection during the weekend buffet. I want to emphasize the fact that this is not the best Indian food in general. However it is the best value for your buffet dollar, and it is far better than most a la carte places. The GTA is spoiled for delicious Punjabi food, and this place offers a great selection of many different dishes, and costs less than what a typical Indian meal with far fewer options would be. And the food is *TASTY*! The staff here works hard to deliver a consistently good experience and meal. This place is perfect for large groups and people who are hungry and looking to enjoy as much desi roti as their bellies can handle! read more

The food was amazing and the price made perfect sense. The service was outstanding and the waiters cleared our plates whenever we asked them to. Also, there were unlimited options to a fine dining experience. They had fruits, curries, naan, desert and much much more. This restaurant was the perfect definition of a buffet. Food was 10/10 and the restaurant's ambiance was extraordinary with beautiful decorations. If I am visiting Toronto again, I will definitely go to this restaurant to get a full stomach. read more

This was our first time ordering anything from this establishment. We decided to go for the extra large chicken briyani and a large butter chicken. I did specify no additional pepper. Because I do recognize that some of the spices etc. like curry adds a bit of heat. I eat spicy, my fiance can't. And it was an inedible spice level even for me. The yogurt was also very sour and warm, which was a bit concerning. This will not be a repeat order and we see no reason to visit the establishment in the future as what we ordered were very basic staples and we could not eat them. I would recommend trying it yourself if you enjoy very spicy foods. read more

While there are many items in the buffet, but some of their billing practices are deceptive. They will bring in bottled water which is not FREE.

I really enjoyed our time here! We were a group of 9 and were seated in 30 minutes. They don't accept reservations but you don't need to wait long! Everything from decoration to food and service was nice. I really loved the food, they have so many options to choose from, so many sides, pickles, stews etc. food was a bit salty and they did not have a note of food to show which one is spicy which one is not. That would be my only complaint. Dessert was ok but nothing eye catching. I will go back for sure as we all enjoyed our experience overall. read more

Ordered 2 butter chicken, tandoori chicken Tikka and 1 garlic Naan over uber eats and sadly dissapointed. I have ordered from them recently in December (same items) and it was really good! Unfortunately today's order fell short. The chicken pieces were horrible (full of fat) and looked like it was just thrown together in a gravy. Taste was okay. The chikka Tikka was okay.. it wasn't cooked properly so could taste the raw spices. The Naan was not good. Wouldn't buy again. It was very tough and had no garlic taste. I know this place has good stuff so I hope to return but hope they stop neglecting take out/delivery orders. read more
