Chicken Tikka
Nicole B.

Our favorite Indian food restaurant in the Parker/Castle Pines/Castle Rock area! We love the chicken tikka masala, the chicken saag and the cheese naan. It makes excellent takeout and the food is always delicious. Food is authentic and so flavorful. The chicken is also already cut in smaller pieces so you can just dig right in. Friendly family service whenever we go in to pick up our food as well. Try this place, you will not be disappointed!

Incredible food, and service. We will be going back with our friends! Highly recommend.

Conveniently located in Castle Pines being sandwiched between Castle Rock and Lone Tree, I discovered this place in my Internet search for a great Indian restaurant on the way as I was hungry for dinner. its 4.5 star rating looked promising. I almost placed my food order on their website. The only reason I didn't do so was because I wasn't sure if main dishes (like curry) came with naan or rice (nowhere on their website say anything about it); it was best to just show up and order upon arrival. This restaurant is in a very quiet surrounding. To its left is a dry cleaner. There were only several cars parked right in front of it. There wasn't much of a warm welcome by its employees; they weren't necessarily rude or blunt in any way. Service was pretty basic. This was OK as long as the food would be good. My expectation was climbing up the ladder at that point. They didn't look busy inside. There was only one table occupied by diners. They didn't appear to be busy with to-go orders either. The young guy at the ordering counter said main dishes (like curry) came with rice but naan. I went with the lamb curry and side naan. Items in the appetizer and dessert sections looked very appealing but since it was just for me, two items would be plenty. The store inside has got good amount of Indian theme throughout but overall, it's very simple. Dining tables and chairs were neatly placed with equal amount of space between each one. I checked the ladies' room and it was very clean. I waited good 15-20 minutes before my food came out of the kitchen. I wasn't in a hurry; I was just hungry (lol)!! As soon as I got home, I started my dinner. The naan looked a bit dry. It was good but seemed a bit ordinary and small. Maybe it's best to eat when it's freshly made?? But the curry was pretty impressive. A good amount of lamb meat was in it; the rice that came with it had a good volume. Not a bad place, I thought. It's a nice place to know if I'll be in the neighborhood with a strong craving for a good Indian food next time. I'll go back here if I see fit.

Life is uncertain and not every day is good. But always toast for the good in your day.

What do you learn from cows, buffalos and elephants? You cannot reduce weight by eating grass and walking. It's impossible. So might as well splurge and enjoy the good food out there. So happy Tandoori Flames is my hidden neighborhood gem and one of the best ethnic restaurants in Castle Pines. Tucked in the smaller strip mall coincidentally next to my favorite nail shop, you will find Ruby slaving ingredients from scratch over a hot stove serving some of the best Indian food I have had in awhile. Authentic, fresh and so worth the drive here. But most of all, you'll come to chat up with Ruby. She's darling, one of a kind and certainly one of the most friendly welcoming owners and restaurateurs. Start with the garlic naan and cheese naan. Yummy for the tummy. And perfect for dipping in the chicken tikka masala sauce. Perfection honestly. Hands down, I am a big fan of the sizzling kabob dinner platters. So tender and flavorful, generous in size I would recommend the Seekh kabob. Naturally I couldn't wait to finish my meal so I could have the masala chai tea and kheer dessert. Ooeemmggee I went to heaven. The honey and sugar in the kheer is not too sweet, just the right balance of delishness only a fantastic cook like Ruby can capture. This chai is how every tea should be made. The delicate marrying of ginger, cinnamon and cardamom achieved truly a cup of happiness. We did also get to try local Indian beer and my favorite was the Bira comparable to a Hefeweizen. The Old Monk 10000 Super Beer pours a golden light but has sweetness of more a malt beer. Tandoori Flames has been on my list but not everyone is adventurous and a fan of Indian food like I am. Thank goodness this cute guy I snagged loves Indian food. Walking in, it's like being invited into Ruby's home for an intimate get together. So if you are craving homemade Indian food or need a pick me upper after a rough day, come sit and eat Ruby's cooking. Your energy and vibe will change entirely walking in here.

My wife and I each started with a glass of wine, and then even though we hadn't planned to get an appetizer, we decided to order a side of bread with oil. The bread was amazing! It was a large order, and both the consistency and flavor were fantastic. There were a few different dishes I was considering, including the halibut, but since this was our first visit, I decided to go with the chicken Marsala, which many on here have raved about. First, it was a big portion with two large chicken breasts. On a future visit, my wife and I could split an appetizer or salad and then one order of the chicken. Next, flavor of everything was wonderful. Unlike a typical Marsala, which can be very heavy and overpowering, this sauce was lighter...in color, consistency, and taste. It was a perfect compliment to the chicken. Asparagus and potatoes were delicious too. My wife got the ravioli with pesto, and she really enjoyed her dish as well. Service was warm, pleasant, there when we needed it, but not overpowering, exactly what you'd hope for and expect from a restaurant of this stature. Very happy we finally got here. We'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

When we arrived, they weren't prepared and quickly pulled a table together but missed a chair and setup. This is simple but speaks to oversight and lack of attentiveness. After borrowing a chair from another table, our group sat down and no later than 30 seconds our server was asking what drinks we wanted to order. It would have been helpful to point out the drink menu or give a recommendation versus demanding to know what we wanted. The interior is noisy and covered in carpet. Over half of our orders came out wrong- wrong protein on the wrong plate with wrong side. And to top it all off, did the kitchen lose their seasoning rack? Nothing was seasoned. The steaks were a poor cut, overcooked, the poor vegetables looked like they were boiled and thrown in a serving bowl, and the baked potatoes were either straight up plain or obviously sitting under a heat lamp because the cheese was dried. I envisioned the kitchen cooking in silo, throwing their portions on a plate with no consideration of the whole meal. It's giving cafeteria food. When we go out, we measure quality by evaluating whether we could cook it as well at home. This failed by a significant margin. I'd love to support local restaurants but at this price point and lack of quality, we'll try elsewhere, anywhere but here.

To celebrate a friend's birthday, we decided to stop by Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood. While I…read morewouldn't say this was the best seafood I've ever had, it was an enjoyable experience, and I certainly wouldn't mind returning. The restaurant itself is very cute, with pretty décor, a beautiful bar, and outdoor seating. It wasn't too busy during our visit, which made for a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy dinner and conversation. Our server was also AMAZING, incredibly kind, and attentive throughout our experience. We ordered the New Orleans Crab Cakes, Grilled Salmon Oscar, Nantucket Seafood Risotto, and Tuna Rolls. New Orleans Crab Cakes (8/10) - I never quite know what to expect when ordering a dish inspired by New Orleans at a restaurant that doesn't necessarily specialize in that cuisine. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The crab cakes were creamy, delicious, and carried a good amount of flavor. I substituted the shoestring fries for the parmesan potatoes, which I thought were a great addition to the dish. Nantucket Seafood Risotto (8/10) - My wife ordered this dish, and it was creamy, flavorful, and had a generous amount of seafood throughout. I always appreciate when a dish provides a good balance of its ingredients, and this certainly did. Tuna Roll (9/10) - Our daughter ordered this, and I would consider it a good take on a classic tuna roll. The ingredients were fresh, and the cucumber added a nice crunch to each bite. Nothing overly complicated, just a well-executed roll. Grilled Salmon Oscar - Our friend ordered this dish, so I can't personally speak to the flavor, but she shared that she found it incredibly yummy! Overall, this was a lovely place to celebrate a birthday. Between the atmosphere, attentive service, and enjoyable food, I can certainly see us returning to try some additional items on the menu.

After he finished eating he noticed that he only received 8 wings and when we told the server her response was 'they do what they want' and gave him the lunch portion. She took the money off of the difference between the sizes, but it's the fact that this happens so much that the server acted as it was expected for the kitchen to do what they want and not what the customer wants. I would recommend this place, but definitely make sure you get what you expect!

This experience could've been so much better, but unfortunately the service really missed the mark…read more I do feel bad because our server mentioned she was new, but it still doesn't excuse how things went. To start, it took over 30 minutes just for our order to be taken, and then another 30+ minutes for the food to come out. We were there for about 2 hours total when this should've been a maybe hour-long visit. When the food finally came, only half of it was brought out. The rest took another 15+ minutes, so most of us finished eating before the others even got their meals. We were starving after playing pickleball, so that was frustrating. On top of that, we could literally see our food sitting there for a while before it was finally brought out. Another issue was the menu being misleading. The vegan burger is advertised as an Impossible Burger, but it was very clearly a Beyond Burger... which is a big difference if you're vegan. When we brought it up, the server tried to correct us and even showed us a picture of the patties, which honestly just confirmed our concern instead of resolving it. To make it worse, the vegan burger was supposed to come with vegan mayo and tomatoes, but didn't have either. When we asked, we were told they had run out. It would've been nice to know that ahead of time instead of finding out after the food was already served. Also... the men's bathroom was out of soap, which is just not a great look. It makes you question cleanliness overall. It honestly seemed like they were understaffed, and if that's the case, there really should've been a manager stepping in to support the staff and help smooth things over for customers... especially considering the location. I'll end on a positive note... the Oklahoma Onion burger was actually really good (not the vegan one lol) I coud've eaten 2! Oh, and it seems like a good place to come watch sports as there are TV's everywhere and a well staffed bar.
