    Indian Food Heaven in DAR El Salam. It was really good. Seldom I have tasted such good Indian Food outside of India. We had a variety of dishes and breads and all tasty and real fun to eat. The Paneer in spinach or black lentils, the roti and naan, the butter chicken or chicken marsala... All tasty with the right amount of spiciness and delightful to eat. Lately they have made some renovation and the place is still not the most attractive, but it's better than before. Service was attentive and without long waiting times. I have come to Flames now several times and have never honestly been let down. It's worth a go and repeat and repeat.

    We vame here for the food. My cousin absolutely loves it. I ordered the chicken "Kadhi" sp, as per recommendation from our waitress. The food here is delicious. Pricey but worth it. The service is okay, there was an event being planned so many were busy. The atmosphere is a bit tacky and could use better decor. Otherwise, great place for food.

  • 5/5 Najum 1 year ago on Google • 113 reviews
    The paneer starter - price around 15,000 Absolutely delicious, very rich in flavor and perfect when pair up with naan/roti The garlic naan - price around 4,000 This was slightly to dry and couldn’t really taste the garlic as id prefer. Had also ordered their butter naan which i preferred It is a nice family friendly place and a vast menu for Indian cuisines. The staff and friendly and service is good Recommend

    A gem! Hidden in a secluded garden, shaded by huge trees, this unpretentious open air restaurant offers delicious, authentic indian food, with a fast and friendly service. Its clean, quiet and welcoming, No frills here, just good food, in generous portions. I recommend the cheese naan, oozing with cheese and served piping hot, roganjosh was also delicious, basmati rice fluffy to perfection. They also serve a very decent fresh lime juice, perfect for those hot days. Waiters went out of their way to accommodate our requests and spoke very good English. Visa, Mastercard and other cards can be used. There is a big playground under the trees, and the car park has enough shade too. Prices are soft, and one really feels that there is value for money here. Service is very fast, so even if you are pressed for time, I can highly recommend this place.

    Honestly! What is wrong in your Restaurant?! Since Roshan is the manager, nothing is working! The food is poor and never fresh! Spinach is grey, and if you ask the 2. manager Chandrakat, if the fish is fresh, he lies in your face, taking the risk to get poisoned 🤮! The portions changed from medium size to small and the prices are the same! This would restaurant is going down and down since the old manager Jitendra left the place. Dirty, sticking tables, bad food.... I will never again recommended this restaurant to anyone!

    Amazing place where you can enjoy perfectly prepared crab, lobster or different variety of seafood. They serve also meat (chicken, goat, mutton and lamb). The food is extremely tasty and the staff is kind, helpfull and friendly. The Indian owner is very polite and nice. Highly recommended!

    I ordered a dosa which was bang average but to my dismay the sambhar was horrible like prison food. To top everything off the price was on the expensive side. There was some sort of wedding event going on and all the staffs were busy catering to guests at the event leaving other customers high and dry.

    It is nice indian restaurant which is open from early noon. Food test good, staff are very friendly. They have big ground for kids play. So u can eat with out any issue. They have also large car parking inside. But flies may disturbs u, in this case go inside room then open space.

  • 5/5 Sakina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Flames is a nice place to visit with family and friends. Especially for kids, as they have care takers for kids who will look after the kids.

  • 4/5 Baby Promise M. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for the comedy club, stayed for the chicken lollipops. The comedy took its time to pick up, felt uncomfortable at times on the audience interactions. Definitely stay in the back if you do not like to be put on the spot or share your personal life. I also feel like they should have a table sign that says, OK to interact with me or Do not look at me. Back to the chicken and calamari ordered, I had the chicken lollipops that made me think of it 24hrs later, only complains is it was pricey. Don't take Calamari but was told it was tasty.

  • 3/5 Suman K. 2 years ago on Google
    Three star because the ambience only..but for food quality one star * If you have kids with you this place is awesome for the kids. Manager Roshan is good aways ready to serve his best. But the quality of food is absolutely pathetic. I had buffet Dinner not even a single dish was good/tasty. Below average food.

    Excellent service. Flavoursome and authentic taste when it comes to the dishes and drinks. Staff are very tentative when it comes to dealing with special customer requests and allergies. 10/10, would go again!

  • 5/5 Ness D. 1 year ago on Google
    When I got my fish curry I didn't realize it was way too spicy for my taste and my tongue was litterally numb so the manager rushed to give me plain yogurt. I felt much better and I thank the manager! The food and the staff are great..

    I ordered a dosa which was bang average but to my dismay the sambhar was horrible, to top everything off the price is on the expensive side. I would expect to be served top notch dosa with that price tag but was served that I couldn’t even finish.

    A great place.... A quite place. A very good place for family or corporate dinners. Has a kids zone for games and can support special group arrangements. The food ain't that great, (maybe for a carnivorous African me😀 )....

    Ordered a delivery through piki app last night. Even though, the delivery took much longer than anticipated, it was definitely worth the wait. We had, veg fried rice, butter chicken, naan and garlic bread. All the food was fresh and delicious. They've managed to maintain consistency in taste. I especially loved the butter chicken with the garlic bread. Definitely interested in trying out more meals from their menu that has a large variety of options from all different categories.

    Great environment. If you like salty fries...that's your place. Their 🍕 is also good. Watch our for the Peri Peri deep fries chicken if you aren't certain of your tolerance...it was actually spicy! I suggest you order it with a creamy sauce or a chutney to balance the spiciness and add moisture to it.

    (Translated by Google) I order via Piki. The order is accepted. 25 minutes later, I receive a call from Piki informing me that my order is not available. An ingredient is missing ... So I cancel my order and I'm always hungry! (Original) Je commande via Piki. La commande est acceptée. 25 minutes après, je reçois un appel de Piki qui m'informe que ma commande n'est pas disponible. Il manquerait un ingrédient.... J'annule donc ma commande et j'ai toujours faim!
