Flames Indian Cuisine

Saw the high reviews and decided to try it out because I love Indian food. Curry leaves is my fave in Tampa but this is closer to home. Just being honest the food is ok/good. Nothing spectacular and the naan bread was extremely tough. They were really friendly and the vibes of the restaurant were clean. Just mid Indian food. But hey. Mid Indian food is better than most foods anyways!

A Special Thank You to Flames Restaurant & the Entire Flames Team ❤️ Both of my sisters’ weddings were proudly catered by Flames Restaurant in Tampa, FL, from their Mehndi celebrations to their Nikaah celebrations. One wedding took place several years ago, and the other was just recently, but the exceptional experience with Flames has remained the same. A special thank you to Subash, who is truly one of the most humble, kind, and accommodating people we have had the pleasure of working with. He doesn’t simply take an order as he takes the time to understand your guest list, works with you on the menu, and personally shares his advice on how much food to order so everything is just right. That level of care makes a huge difference when planning such important family occasions. And then there is the Chicken Manchurian! ❤️ For both of my sisters’ Mehndi celebrations, the Flames chefs went above and beyond and prepared Chicken Manchurian for our family as one of the main dishes. Both times, it was an absolute HUGE HIT! It became one of our family’s favorite dishes, so much so that I finally told Subash: Flames needs to put Chicken Manchurian on the regular menu so everyone can experience what our family has been enjoying! To the entire Flames Team, thank you for going the extra mile—not once, but twice—for the Hussain Family. You helped make two very special family celebrations even more memorable, and we will always appreciate the care, hospitality, and delicious food you provided. Here’s hoping Flames remains a beloved part of Tampa for the next 100 years!

The building was small, but don't let that fool you. The service was great and the food even better. Prices are comparable to other Indian Food restaurants. Most tables are for couples, but there are a few for larger groups. I went with a group of six at dinner time on a week day and got seated very quickly. I recommended this place.
