I went here for the first time today for the (very reasonably priced) lunch buffet. The food was fantastic, flavored perfectly. The server very helpful, the freshness of the food was unquestionable, and the naan was literally made seconds before it was placed on the table. The atmosphere was beautiful, it was vegetarian friendly. I know a few people who eat here regularly, and I can clearly see why. I am looking forward to my next visit.

So thrilled to have Indian Flame close by! For reference, our top favorite Indian restaurant in the Capital District has been Karavalli. Been going there for years and a couple of those years, a couple times a week! Still love them but nobody else could compare, until now. Both restaurants feature southern Indian style. Karavalli seems a little higher end for dinner still but Indian Flame is very, very good. Indian Flame might be starting a lunch buffet soon, not sure, right now it's still off the menu. We typically get three dishes for the two of us so we can bring home a second (or sometimes third) meal. Their rice is perfect! Excellent madras coffee (I often get at Karavalli and now here; similar to a latte). Naan, very good. Favorite main dish: chicken sag tikka (spinach dish). We're still trying to try all the dishes but often get the same ones such as: dal makkani, aloo gobi, dal tadka (a little subtler than makkani), chicken vindaloo, chicken chettinad (black pepper), shrimp mappas (shrimp are good sized and so far have always been very good), and cauliflower mango curry. Speaking of mango: Karavalli has a mango dish which is on the sweet side and is delicious. Indian Flame has three mango dishes but they all are not sweet. Not all traditional mango dishes are sweet so please inquire about the dish you're interested in as to how sweet it is because there are differences between them. Also, spice/heat: you can actually ask for light, med, hot spice...even with vindaloo and chettinad! That's always been my issue with those, I don't want to just eat to be in pain with the heat, I'd like to taste the flavors and getting either dish in medium is perfect for me. I can't comment on apps or biriyani, and I don't eat goat/lamb. The traditional mango ice cream is very good, the parippu payasam (a lentil version of kheer, if you will) is good as well. Haven't tried the others yet. Seating is comfortable, booths and tables. Take out is easy. Staff is always very nice. Pricing is very reasonable especially with the quality. Food always is fresh. Highly recommend Indian Flame! I'd post pics but by the time I remember, we're done :) UPDATE: now they have a lunch buffet which is excellent! Also, I forgot to mention that parking is very easy. Decent lot in front of strip mall (same plaza as Family Dollar, Okinawa and Saududee Thai). There's also a large lot to the side of Okinawa (behind the gas station). which is large enough for a truck pulling a trailer too.

Kerala themed and run. Absolutely the best dosa and sambar we had as a group. Service was excellent and people were warm. Highly recommended

Simply delicious! I especially loved their samosas. I like that the atmosphere of this restaurant is so casual and inviting, not over the top like many other Indian restaurants. Good food, good service, reasonable prices. Those are the things that matter!

I have had Indian food in many places around the world, including NYC, London and Glasgow — all known for excellent Indian fare. Hands down though, Indian Flame stands out. I had their signature dish — lamb chops — and it was exquisite. Tender, perfectly seasoned and just past rare.

I was a bit disappointed with their lunch buffet. Small compared to competitors. Indian buffets are a dime a dozen in the capital area. It's hard to stand out. No salads, dressing, sauces or chutney were available. Fresh naan was served. I got 6 pieces. These guys put out 12 trays. 2 Rice, two chicken entrees, 1,fish,tandoori chicken, carrot pudding, and vegetable dishes. The usual suspects were there: chicken Tikka masala, vegetable korma etc.. Sauces tasted canned. Only appetizer was fried potato slices. Rice pudding was quite thin. Like a falooda not thickened. Decent service. Dining room clean and fairly attractive. Not a bad restaurant. I'm from Albany and made the journey because of 4.8 star rating. More like 3-4 stars IMO.

I recently dined at India flame, and it was an exceptional experience. The restaurant offers a delightful array of dishes, both on their buffet and à la carte menus. The flavors of the food were truly impressive, and I particularly enjoyed tandoori chicken . The service was impeccable, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for its fantastic food, service, and ambiance, especially for their delightful lunch buffet.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had at a restaurant. Can really only compare it to home-cooked Indian food more so than restaurant Indian food. The vegetables were so fresh and flavorful and not overcooked. The food was not oily. The flavors were well balanced. It was pleasantly spicy although next time I might ask for it a bit spicier, just my personal preference. Service was attentive.
