I went during the holidays and paid $40pp. The restaurant is quite large and offers ample seating. We didn't have any wait. They give you a seating time limit of 90 minutes. The servers really try to push you to order/purchase drinks upon arrival. The still water on the table is also an additional charge, so don't fall for the bait. We had to request "tap water" specifically multiple times to avoid getting charged for the still water. The buffet itself was good. There was a decent variety and they kept replenishing dishes rather quickly. I enjoyed the made-to-order roti station and the garlic naan in particular. It was fun to try the different curries. Keep in mind the proteins are mostly chicken, with some goat and vegetarian (chickpea, paneer) options. There's no beef or pork. The mains are good, but rather heavy so I had a difficult time eating a lot. The entrees were better than the desserts. Overall, very decent Indian food. It's more worth it if you value being able to sample different dishes/flavours. The servers cleared our plates quickly, but were very slow to fill up our glasses with tap water. While paying the bill, I didn't appreciate how pushy our server was about leaving a five-star review. It made me feel uncomfortable. So here I am leaving my honest experience/review.

Announcing their new Happy Singh restaurant winter 2024

One of the best Indian buffets we have tried in North America so far :-) Great value for around $35 Canadian and something for everyone. Large selection of cocktails/mocktails and other Indian favorites. Great service and fast table turns if you are waiting. Came on Dec 29 and the whole restaurant (and staff) decked out for Christmas decorations and cheer! My wife said the Sag was the best she ever had :-)

Dessert

Despite the average 3-star rating Tandoori Flame has on Yelp, I think they're better than that. From the outside, they don't look like much. Maybe they took over an old restaurant because the wood looks outdated. The entrance walkway has hanging colorful flower pots but reeked of fertilizer. It was nauseating. The interior is nice. You're greeted by the hostess upon entering, then there is a bar to the right. I think the bar elevates the restaurant vibes. The placemats on the tables are so good. The drinks look really appealing! I took the time to check out the drinks, and they all sound very good. Our server was ok. There was more than one person clearing our plates. The food was good! There was so much variety. The names of the dishes were written on the glass case. I didn't know what everything was, but it was fun to try. They even had a big section for dessert, including ice cream. I would come back! (Also posted on Google)

Pani puri
Alykhan V.

Overall: 4/5 Great Indian buffet in Mississauga! Not necessarily the best Indian food I've had, but it was good for a buffet! Food: 3.8/5 Pani Puri- I was craving this for a while and loved it but could be just because I've been wanting it for so long! The station where you make it yourself is great because you can also add some yogurt. Butter chicken a normal butter chicken! Great with naan - same with the tandoori chicken. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice Indian atmosphere; also, I liked how they had these special fans to absorb some of the smell of the curries, so the smell doesn't linger on your clothes. Service: 4/5 - friendly staff, nice that they had a station where they also make pani puris for you (or can do it yourself). Would come back if ever looking for an Indian buffet!

Bar special Cocktails

We went there for Lunch Buffet on Thursday. Buffet was HUGE! - reminded me of Barbecue Nation in Pune. Paani puri, Soup, 4 appetizer varieties., Pav bhaji, 20 different salad varieties, Biryani, 10 different Entree's , 14 types of sweets, 20 flavors of icecream. And not to forget a full bar! I am sure I still have forgotten a few things! The place is big with close to a 100 tables, there was no wait time, although we did reach late for lunch (2.30pm) Service was fast and everyone was very polite and the food was always warm and being replenished quickly. Food taste was good for a buffet. I am sure it would be better for their Ala Carte ordering. Tha ambiance is very well done!!

They operate on first come first serve basis and don't accept reservations and you have 1.5 hours to finish your food once you're seated. The restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly and do a good job of collecting empty dishes from the tables. But, I dont get charging 12% gratuity for groups of 6+, because I don't see the staff offering extra service to those groups. Paying $45 per person doesn't make sense. They have good variety of Indian dishes including many vegetarian options. They bake fresh bread ans serve it. The chicken tandoori and butter chicken were my favorite. The desserts were delicious and flavorful. I'd recommend adding some non-spicy options for groups that come with kids and they cannot eat spicy food; right now, the only option is feeding them fries and no protein.

I visited the Tandoori Flame restaurant few days back to try their dinner buffet and loved the overall dining experience. There was a large variety of options to choose from including a wide range of Indian food from different parts of the country. For starters I especially loved their Pav Bhaji, Lamb Chops, Chicken Afghani Kebab, and the Chicken Malai Kebab. They also had Chicken Tikka, fresh fruits, Papri, Sukha Panipuri and a few salads for starters. For the Main course there was Biryani, Butter chicken, Butter naan, Prawn, and a few other items including vegetarian options. Coming to the dessert there was Gajar ka halwa, badaam halwa, gulab jamun, jalebi, lemon tart, carrot cake, vanilla cupcakes, and ice cream among a few others. You could also order your own drinks from their menu. The dinner buffet costs $30.99 per person.

Goat curry
Naveen R.

You have to get the goat curry and pair it with the lachcha paratha if you happen to dine at Tandoori flame. First off, they are pretty generous with the portion of meat they serve in their goat curry. Second, the goat is tender and falling off the bone. Third, yes that's right, they're served as pieces that might be clinging on to bone, so be careful before you crunch down. And remember, bone means flavor, so get over it. The lachcha paratha is flaky and layered do perfection with great creased pockets to hold that delicious gravy as you pop it into your mouth. The chicken biryani was not the best I've tasted. I wish the rice wasn't as moist (soggy) as it wouldn't be in a typical biryani which has layers of dry and masala, and also the meat itself was lacking seasoning and flavor. The carrot dessert was moist and flavorful, not too sweet.

Daniel A.

I find it very odd that this place isn't rated lower. The selection is lacking and the food itself is abysmal. Watery and flavorless curries, frozen quality naan, several stale dishes, and probably one of the worst dessert spreads I've ever seen at any kind of buffet. The service is quite good, but the food was bad enough to outweigh it. Would not recommend.

50% of the bill, Evian is an issue

First time coming to this restaurant and actually first time eating at any restaurant in Brampton…read more Came here as a big group of 42 and they gave us a closed off section right by the entrance to the right just behind the soft drinks section. Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted to a very clean and modern ambience that reminded me kind of like some of the big buffets in Las Vegas. Very cool setup where they have 3 self serve fountain drinks which is included in your buffet price. In the middle they have a grilling area where they are grilling Basa fish, salmon, chicken, sirloin steak. The steak was amazing they put this butter, garlic garnish on top that makes it so delicious. I had 8 of these steaks this evening! They also had a stir fry, soup noodle where you can choose your own ingredients, different vegetables and protein and carbs for them to either turn into a stir fry or soup noodle. They had plenty of ice cream to choose from as well as a soft serve ice cream machine. The service provided by the employees were top notch, so friendly, and helpful. Very pleased with my experience and just to note my visit was on a Friday night so your good selections may be different depending on a weekday or weekend.

We drove all the way from Scarborough to eat at one of your favourite buffet spots!…read more They offer fresh cooked beef to your liking, sashimi, crab legs (on the weekend), soft serve and other amazing staple buffet dishes. What I also love about this place is that soda is part of the cost. Their service was also quick so that you don't have any dirty plates lingering on your table while you're grabbing your next. The selection is great for the price.

We had come here on a Saturday at around 7:00 pm for the Italian Buffet Special, which was being…read moreadvertised as $12.95 a person. When we had first arrived, we were told that it would be a two-hour wait, and that we would need to have a pager with us at all times that would be used to notify us once a table was ready. We weren't able to get a pager immediately as they were all being used therefore, we had to wait at least fifteen minutes before we were able to get one. Once we had that pager in hand, we waited about one hour for our table, which was actually not as long as we had expected. Upon entering the restaurant via an escalator from the first floor, we were pleased to see how picturesque it was. With the large windows showcasing the horse racing at the time, along with the tables that boasted their own private television screens, we were impressed with how wonderful and inviting everything looked. Upon being seated, we were given programs on the betting available for the evening's races, which was detailed with everything we needed to know. We also noticed that there was a middle-aged woman coming around, asking us if we were interested in placing bets during our dining experience. The diners went wild during the races, which created an exciting, yet sometimes, loud atmosphere. In terms of the dining, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options were available. Since it was only $12.95 (with a Winners Circle Card), I was blown away at how much food was placed within the buffet area, with an area dedicated to bread with a variety of spreads, another area with salads and other cold appetizers (such as artichokes, cold cuts, cheese, etc.), a hot table (with such items as lasagna, pizza, chicken, fish, and more), along with a dessert section, which boasted a wide variety of desserts, and a few dishes of fruit. All of the items were well-prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, with each item at the hot table coming onto my plate hot (temperature-wise), which is rare to find in a buffet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this buffet, and would highly-recommend it to anyone who wants delicious food, at a low price. The only thing that I didn't like was the waiting period, and how slow it was, considering that many guests usually sit there the entire evening, watching the races and eating for hours on end. Although this is definitely the idea of the trackside buffet, it could have been the reason why we were so delayed in getting to our table. Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, and will definitely be going again!

There was plenty of wait staff on site but communication between staff was quite poor. No one ever came by to see if we needed anything or to ask if we wanted additional drinks or the like. So we found ourselves having to constantly hail wait staff. A large portion of the weekend buffet was seafood. You would expect that when serving lobster and crab the tableware would include for seafood crackers. This is not the case. I asked for seafood crackers from two different wait staff and was advised they didn't have any. So I went to the matre d' and asked, she went into the back and brought some out for our table. If you serving lobster and crab, the restaurant should either provide crackers or pre- cut the claws ready to eat. With regard to the food, I would have thought they would have served some rolls or bread but we had to ask for this special. As well, most all the food was cold. So all in all, I expected more but a 3 star rating is about all I would give.

I would put the actual food part of the meal in the mediocre category.

I would say though you are better off to go for dinner as it's only $4 more and you get a whole lot more items. The lunch doesn't have lacha paratha's, Haleem, warm gulab jamuns in the sauce and many other items. I was really disappointed. The other negative is that beverage nor tea is included in this price. Other buffets include A beverage AND tea! I might return but only for dinner not lunch.

The seafood is indeed fresh and cooked well, but that's the only redeeming quality. Their set menus come with a small number of dishes and for the same price at comparable Chinese restaurants, you could get the same weight of king crab/lobster and several more dishes included in the set meal. As always, the steak comes out shortly after the order is made, way before our seafood is even taken out of the tank and showed to us. And the steak is always blue, hard seared on the outside and basically still moo-ing in the middle. Our king crab was not lively at all and they also added a supposed 1.5 lbs to our king crab and it certainly didn't look like it. The fries in the typhoon style lobster were cold, which is always a problem here. Service is absent and inattentive. Nobody changed our plates until we were nearly done eating. Overall, it's a popular place as the pioneer of the lobster and crab towers and perhaps worth trying one time for its popularity, but there are much better quality options in the GTA with better execution, value and service.

They have not only survived the pandemic of a few years ago but they have thrived as only the best do. Their recent facelift brings a fresh new look to the place. Well done! I usually can't resist starting with a salad and a bowl of soup but this time I went straight for the sushi, adding a little crab salad and seaweed from the salad bar. I also had my usual hot and sour soup with a couple of wontons. Good start. Next, was the Peking Duck, my favourite. I love the tender pieces of duck, wrapped in a thin pancake with hoisin sauce and green onions. I could eat this all day, every day but they limit you to two pieces every visit to this station, but they don't limit the number of visits. Yesss! With my craving for duck satisfied, I explored other stations, taking very small portions of select dishes. It adds up quickly and my plate was full in no time. I was also quite full but I heard the duck calling my name one more time! Although stuffed, a quick pass through the desserts resulted in a very small sampling that completed my only meal for the day. The renovations to the restaurant have modernized its look and feel, with bold patterns and textures. New tables and chairs have made seating more efficient (at least in the section my group were seated in). They've also added a section with claw machines and games to keep the younger guests entertained.
