    Chicken tikka
    Scott E.

    Wow! What a fantastic restaurant, absolutely delicious food, and wonderful hospitality! Well decorated little restaurant that you could easily miss but never should because you'll be missing out big time. Siddhesh is usually our waiter and does an amazing job taking care of his guests and being attentive to any needs they have. If you have a question about any item on the menu or that you don't see on the menu, he will be able to give you advice and they can even potentially make off menu items or tweak what they currently have just for you. If you like Indian food, I highly recommend you check this place out!

    Tofu Korma

    After church service (was subjected to distracting loud talkers all throughout the service...who does that?), my wife and I continued our practice of eating out for lunch we brought over from Texas. We were originally planning on checking out The Great Greek but The Flame was featured on Yelp when I opened the app, so we pivoted and went there instead. I guess being featured on Yelp actually works to drive in more business! Tucked in a BP gas station, albeit a different door to the restaurant but shares the bathrooms with the gas station, this place is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. As we walked in, the place was actually appointed quite nicely. We were seated promptly and given menus. My wife ordered the Tofu Korma ($18.99, mild) and I ordered their Chicken Tikka Masala ($19.99, medium heat). We also ordered Garlic Naan ($4.99). The entrees came with basmati rice. We were also served complimentary papadums with 3 different dipping sauces. My wife liked her tofu korma...although she, having shellfish allergies, had a mild reaction later on which we can only attribute to possible cross contamination with shellfish in the sauce. My chicken tikka masala had good flavors and spice level was just right, perhaps 6 to 6.5 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being too spicy to be edible. My wife's mild spiciness was probably a 2 to 2.5. All in all, we thought our dining experience was satisfactory. Service was efficient but impersonal/detached. For food alone, we would give this place 4 stars. While the value was better than Amrit's, we thought our experience at Amrit's was better...better service and ambience. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $55 with tip.

    Was looking for Indian cuisine food options and came across other yelp reviews for this place. Decided to give it a try. This place is literally in the gas station! While the restaurant maybe next to the gas station cashier, the entrance to the restaurant is the BP gas station! If you get to Chilis, you've gone too far! I would say that the decor is more like a diner. Service was good although the waiter was a little curt! We were presented with a complimentary papadum with onion chutney, mint and tamarind. Tasted great. Off to a good start. We ordered lamb biryani, chettinard shrimp and aloo ghobi as well as some buttered naan. Prices were similar to big city (NY, San Francisco or Chicago) which was a surprise especially for Ocala. However, the taste profile of the dishes were disappointing. The naan was a little over cooked so it was dry. The biryani had lots of rice but very little meat. We thought the flavor was a little bland. We requested a spicy chettinard but it was very mild and lacked oomph/umami. Got a good taste at first but finished rather flat. The aloo ghobi needed salt or something. It too was flat. Sadly I would not be coming back again nor would I recommend this place. Too pricey and the portions were small relative to price. Did not meet the flavor of big city restaurants.

    The Flame never disappoints! The butter chicken was absolutely amazing rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and full of flavor in every bite. It paired so well with the rice and naan. And the mojito? So refreshing and perfectly balanced not too sweet, just crisp and fresh. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything felt high quality. Definitely one of my favorite spots I'll be coming back for that butter chicken again!

    Just fantastic, the flavors are so savory. New favorite Indian spot. We ordered the chicken makhni butter chicken, truly awesome and the chefs lamb dish, masskesool masal another great dish. Enjoyed the to the fullest. Yes it's next to a gas station but so what, the good is top notch and better than fancy places. Enjoy

    Kimchi fried noodles
    Aubrey E.

    Really great for the price! Convenient location! I ordered kimchi fried noodles, which is odd for an Indian restaurant, but they were absolutely delicious, buttered, chicken, and goat vindaloo. All were spicy as ordered and delicious! I ordered take out but the restaurant looked nice inside.

    Lamb Rogan Josh

    I really like how the inside is clean and relaxed. The waiter is straightforward and helpful. I ordered lamb Rogan Josh and it's a bit spicy. It tastes good actually if you could take spice. The masala chai tastes original. I have fair experience until I realized I had to pay garlic bread separately . It wasn't communicated clearly to me when the waiter had asked if I wanted garlic bread . I thought it was included. Nonetheless, I have a fair experience here.

    So glad to find another delicious Indian food place in Ocala! Definitely a hidden gem connected to the bp gas station. Visited on Friday night, seated right away. The food was spot on, the chili garlic naan is definitely spicy so for those that can't take spice definitely do just plain or garlic naan. Curry is super flavorful. The place was decorated with flames per their store name, and clean, easy parking shared with the gas station. Would definitely recommend.

    Okay, so if you love Indian food and you are anywhere near Ocala, Florida, RUN -- don't walk, to The Flame Indian Kitchen!! My two friends and I are serious lovers of Indian food and we have eaten A LOT of it, and this was one of the very best places we have ever dined. First of all, don't let the exterior fool you. This place is connected to a gas station but you walk in and it's like a much nicer dining establishment, with linens and flatware and fancy glasses and all the things... and the service is out of this world. I got to the place 30 minutes before my friends and asked if I could come in early and be seated and since there were plenty of tables they did not mind at all. (I did also notice that this place was also doing a tremendous amount of takeout.) As I waited for my friends they brought me my drink and a complimentary appetizer that you see here with the three dipping sauces. My favorite was the green one which I was told was mint, and it had a delightful taste. My friends and I had the samosas for an appetizer. We have eaten these literally all over the world, and these were the best any of us had ever tasted. I could have had them as a meal they were so good. All three of us ordered butter chicken, rice, and garlic naan. It was out of this world. We will go here again when we are in the area.

I ordered the chana masala, which comes with basmati rice, and an order of samosas. The samosas were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They had a hint of spice but tolerable. The two sauces - tamarind and chutney were so good with the samosas. I wish I ordered more. The chana masala was very tasty, I went with medium heat since it was first time eating here. The spice was really good, I could've went hotter though. The masala was buttery and delightful. I could've drank the sauce it was that good. The chickpeas were cooked perfectly as well. The flavor profile of the dish was tangy but creamy. I wish I had some chicken tikka to throw in there. Overall a great take out meal and great portion sizes where you can stretch out these meals.

    A great non chain restaurant serving authentic Indian food…read more We started off with the papdi chaat and that was delicious. Tbh I've never had one before and it was a nice surprise of sweet, spice and crunch. I highly recommend this dish. Then I had the lamb makhani combo which was like a regular creamy curry dish. This was also delicious. My combo meal came with rice, samosa, naan and dessert. I didn't care for the dessert as it was just way too sweet for me but the rest was great. Hubby had the lamb biryani combo meal which the flavor was infused or incorporated into the rice dish. I personally preferred my own order but he said he really liked his dish. Son ordered from the Chinese section and he didn't like his food so my reco is to just order from the Indian section bec after all, you are in an Indian restaurant.

Located along a building with another Indian restaurant and market and even a Vietnamese restaurant, this place has plenty of parking and quite spacious inside. We love Indian food and are always open to trying out new restaurants. We have not been to India (on the list of countries we plan on visiting) so not familiar with the street food on their menu so we opted for the more familiar options. My wife ordered the Butter Chicken combo ($20.99) and I tried one of the chef's specials, Bhatti Ka Murg combo. The combo came with basmati rice, butter naan and a desert called Gulab Jamun. My wife's combo also came with a samosa. The butter chicken was good...that sauce, which turned out to be the same sauce for the bhatti ka murg, was full of flavor. The naan was OK...nothing special and we've had much better naan. The rice serving was a bit chintzy. The desert was OK. My dish had decent flavor but definitely better dipped in that sauce. Having to content with bones from chicken thigh meat and drum stick meant I had to work for it but not too bad. While our meals had good flavors, we thought flavors and portions we had at Amrit Palace in Ocala were just as good if not better with more generous portions. We would often have leftover food to take home after a meal at Amrit. Lunch for 2 with tip was just under $54.
