Seriously one of the worst tikka masala's and butter chickens in Indy.Runny, tasteless mess. Not much of the dry chicken inside. Butter chicken we ordered is the same sauce essentially. This place used to be much better, but you can tell they're cutting corners. For $35 for two entrees and naan, it's not with it.

A little under par compared to what I've come to expect from Indian food in the area. Note this only applies to the lunch buffet, so dinner might be better. Place seemed understaffed for a weekend, and they had trouble keeping the buffet trays topped up. What there was also was often either too watery or greasy for my tastes. Buffet stations also didn't seem as warm as I'd expect, having worked food service, but the lunch session is shorter than the FDA/FSIS's 4 hour mark, so not a safety issue. Lack of any kind of lassis during lunch feels like a missed opportunity.Staff are however friendly and didn't quibble over me needing my drink replaced. Facility is kept neat and clean. The price is around $20 for AYCE, which I consider reasonable.

Love this place. Been here a few times and it never disappoints. The servers are excellent and great at their craft. The food is amazing, I try to get different dishes every time and I've yet to be disappointed, although there are clear winners some nights. You really can't go wrong with a trip here

We decided to meet friends here for a weekday lunch since it was a convenient southside location and had good reviews on Yelp. It's located in the Southern Plaza parking lot in the old Steak and Ale building(nice blast from the past). The service was friendly and helpful and the food plentiful. The price for the buffet was great for all the items available and everything I tried tasted fine( I didn't do the goat). I also got some friendly helpful advice from one of their regular diners who told me what sauce to use if I got an item that was a little too spicy and it was yummy and it worked. My favorite was the different types of naan, hot and fresh off the grill.

This was definitely a solid choice for Indian food. My wife and I have been looking for an Indian restaurant we both enjoy and found it here last night.Not overly busy on a Friday night, but we did get there around 8pm. Waitress sat us quickly, and was great throughout the entire night. I ordered the chicken biryani, my wife ordered butter chicken, and we both ordered Naan (she got garlic, and I got Paneer Kulcha- naan stuffed with onion and spices)- we both split the two entrees.Chicken biryani- very good. If you aren't a fan of green bell peppers, avoid this, as the flavor is definitely present in the dish. Could have had a bit better presentation, but still solid.Butter chicken- run of the mill butter chicken. Nothing to write home about, but no complaints. We both consider it to be somewhat of comfort food as we know it's not entirely representative of Indian food but still tastes great and brings us pleasure.Garlic naan- I didn't have any, but my wife said it was great.Paneer kulcha- first time ever having it. It was great- onion taste was present but not overpowering.Will definitely return, as the food was great, service was good, and overall the place felt very clean and welcoming.

I'm a big fan of Indian food. Originally from here but my wife and I lived in Boston and DC for a few years. Lots of ethnic foods there. Tandoori Flame has good food, nice people. Ambiance is good. traditional Indian music in the background. I tend to eat vegetarian at Indian restaurants because they are good at it. Maybe some chicken. Same with this place. If you don't know much about this kind of food, do the lunch buffet where you can try everything. If you're not used to spicy foods, remember you can tolerate a lot more heat if you have some raita or lassi at the ready. (contain yogurt). Mango lassi is my favorite. Raita is typically part of the buffet. The parking lot is old but not hazardous. Let's help them make money so they can make it pretty someday.

Flavorless. Very small buffet. Nothing was good. Even the building was strangely unclean and unfinished. Bathroom was extremely cold and unclean. Much better places to go.
