At Tandoori Flame, curries and naan make a strong starting point. Diners repeatedly praise the seasoning, with chicken tikka masala and butter chicken among the favorites. Garlic naan earns its own attention for a crisp exterior and chewy center, while lamb biryani offers a rice-centered alternative.

Vegetable samosas, veggie pakoras and chili paneer give vegetarian diners several directions beyond curry. The restaurant also serves a lunch buffet, though diner accounts are more divided on that offering than on individually ordered dishes. Beer and wine are available alongside lunch and dinner.

This is a casual, family-friendly choice with prices generally in the $10–$20 range. Friendly service and easy parking recur in diners’ accounts, and the restaurant accommodates groups.

Tandoori Flame is at 4302 S East St. Lunch runs daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; dinner runs from 4:30 to 10 p.m., except Thursday, when it ends at 9:30 p.m. Reservations, takeout and delivery are available.
