Awesome restaurant for their buffet and takeout! It is super easy to order takeout or stop in for their lunch buffet. The inside of the restaurant is very elegant and is one of the best Indian restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area. One of my favorites is their garlic naan and onion naan. It goes great with everything on their menu! Every time I visit the servers are very polite and professional and the service is fast. When I order takeout it is also fast and on time! I highly recommend visiting Flame.

This review is for the buffet only.On a windy Thursday, I found myself in WC. In town for the week and a coworker that has limited dining options: I was left to get my Indian fix on my own.Food: Quite possibly the skimpiest Indian buffet I have ever seen. Even a tiny strip mall place in Westport had more protein options. In addition to the lack of options, what little was on the buffet was also LITTLE on the buffet. The only decent option was the chicken masala. The 4 small chunks/pieces of Tandori did not look good, I took one just to try. It was dry and cold. Naan was a bit dry, probably from sitting too long in the bin.Service: He took my dirty plate away and filled the first glass of water. That was it.Ambiance: Well the place had a total of 5 people dining at around 12:30. One ordered off the menu, not sure what the rest were having. The restaurant itself was nice and clean.Overall: Sorry but for $17 this was not worth it. Maybe ordering off the menu at dinner time is a better option.

Flame India Restaurant in Ohio offers an inviting and upscale atmosphere that sets the tone for a satisfying dining experience. While the service was somewhat slow, especially given the low initial crowd, the flavorful dishes more than compensated for this minor setback. * Chicken Tikka Masala: Rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, this dish stood out with its tender chicken pieces and savory sauce. * Gobi Manchurian: The crispy cauliflower florets, coated in a tangy and spicy sauce, offered a delightful burst of flavor. * Mushroom Mattar: A hearty vegetarian option that combined earthy mushrooms with tender peas in a well-balanced gravy. * Garlic Naan: Soft and generously brushed with garlic and herbs, the naan was the perfect accompaniment to soak up the flavorful curries.Overall, Flame India delivers a delicious and well-varied buffet spread, making it a great choice for lovers of Indian cuisine. Despite the slower service, the quality and taste of the food make it a spot worth visiting.

This is the best deal in town. I got the combo platter (forget its exact name) which comes on a 'silver platter.' All that food in the photo? $22. Plus I think they gave us a free appetizer. Service was swift. Have enough for at least two meals.

I called in take-out here the other day, and was amazed at their extensive menu. I found authentic items there that I haven't seen at other Indian restaurants, like the fish pakora and the interesting desserts. The man who took my order over the phone was congenial and very thorough, and when I arrived there he and a woman there -- who I assume were both the owners -- were pleasant and helpful. And, man, is this restaurant beautiful! my impression was of spacious luxury, comfortable-looking cranberry-red padded booths and modern tasteful decorations. But it was the food that blew me away! I ordered the fish pakora, which turned out to be thickly crusted charred pieces with intense spicy flavor and fresh tender fish inside. I was also impressed with the plain paratha -- nice flaky layers of whole-wheat bread. And the chicken saag: the authentic flavors of the spinach sauce came right through and the chicken was surprisingly tender. As this was my first experience, I only tried a spice level of 1. But next time I'll move my way up to a two, as I know that the heat is a major component of Indian food's taste -- though all my items were definitely flavorful. I finished it with a gajar halwa -- a pudding of carrots with just-sweet-enough flavor and just-mild enough spice. All together, a wonderful authentic family-owned restaurant where they treat the food with integrity. I'll be back to work my way through the menu, 1 or 2 items at a time!

Went there for lunch buffet. Food was ok but not the best, small buffet options. I would say its good for the money you pay. Ice cream was really good.

Good food and great service. Last night was my first time to Flame India. My husband has been previously with coworkers. The interior looks kind of fancy compared to the strip mall exterior. They have a bar in the back and a cocktail/alcohol menu. We ordered the Vegetable Pakoras for an appetizer and they were really good. So were the chutneys served with it. I ordered the Basant Chicken. I have never had it before but I thought that it was really tasty. My husband with the Lamb Vindaloo. He enjoyed his, as well. The spice level was 0-6 and I ordered mine on a 3 and my husband on a 5. We thought the levels were what we expected. The Kashmiri Naan was great. Thin, crispy and flavorful. Overall - enjoyable meal and I'll stop back to try more of their menu.

Because of overall great reviews, we decided to make the drive to eat at Flame. We were there on a Thursday at 11 when they opened. We were the only customers until another couple arrived just as we were leaving. The restaurant is quite fancy and large. We ordered the buffet, which was @ $16. The food was hit and miss. The server made sure our waters were always full. The food was on the warm to lukewarm warm side. Round 1: The Vegetable Samosas were anything but crispy. Dal Soup was tasteless. The Naan was also tasteless. The Saag was tasty, but bland. The Vegetable Jalfrezi was delicious! The Tandoori Chicken was tender.Round 2: More Vegetable Jalfrezi and Dal Makhani, which was flavorful. Another piece of Tandoori Chicken and a side of Raita. The Raita was outstanding. It was thick, which seemed delightfully unusual. Round 3: Tomato soup was temperature hot, which was a bonus. It was a bit sweet and overall quite yummy. The Kheer was very good. I noted it had a lovely floral flavor, confirmed as a touch of rose water on the menu.Generally, the food on the buffet was bland. I guess this makes sense as I'm sure they are trying to appeal to the masses. That said, the dishes would have benefited from more spice.
