Tandoori Flame

This is our go to spot for Indian food. This place has a huge selection and their items from the tandoor are amazing. Trust me I’m indian. We’ve been to a lot of Indian restaurants in the city. Nothing like Tandoori Flame to hit the spot. PS — Order a King Fisher, and request Garlic Naan at the naan station.

To be honest i love Indian food, but i have been to better Indian buffets, seeing it’s located in Brampton! I prefer more authentic experience, this place is very commercial but cheap!

I ended up in Bramalea a few times recently that saw me needing to have dinner, and as my reviews show, I enjoy indulging in Indian, so after having an experience at Bombay Palace, I thought I should try the other buffet up the road.
I was not as impressed here as I was at Bombay Palace.
The buffet was larger, with a vaster selection, but there were downfalls.
Started as customary with a mango lassi. It was too thick. Thankfully there was ice in it, which as melted, thinned the consistency.
Moving on to the apps, there was a nice display and variety. Samosa, pakora, salads and papadum. But unfortunately for my child, all contained a level of spice too hot for a child. I saw chilli peppers in all these, although I enjoyed, my son could only chew papadum for this part of the meal.
Moving on to the mains, the selection was large. Larger than Bombay Palace, but, none were labeled for spice level. (Medium hot/​hot/​extremely hot) knowing what should and should not be is one thing, but noticing chilli’s simmering in the saag paneer, one of my almost six year olds favourite dishes, I had to tell him there was none. Near all the dishes had a level of hot to them, mind you I enjoy, but it was not child friendly at all. Sure they had pizza and fries available for children, bit some children (like mine) actually enjoy curries. The shahi paneer and butter chicken were mild enough for him, but no channa, or dahl. As well, this buffet featured goat, not Lamb. I would prefer not to worry about bones. The chicken curries, used the cheaper cuts (leg/​thigh) while the cost was 20% higher than Bombay Palace who used breast meat in their curries. Finally I tried the biryani here, and like the remainder of my meal it was disappointing. The mint content was absolutely overwhelming, rendering me incapable of finishing the portion I served myself.
Deserts were plentiful, mango or pistachio ice cream with the norms, plenty of sweets. No complaints here.
Generally I felt the food to be generic, it didn’t tickle my palate, I could easily do a better job at home, but that is defeatist to the point of going out, and unfortunately my child was limited in his selection, due to an overall overuse of chilli/​cayenne and peppers.
Would I return, perhaps if my son was not with me, but the odds of being in Bramalea, without him for dinner are relatively slim, so it may be a few years before I would entertain the thought of trying this place again.

I am a regular here but this is the first time am writing a review. This place gets a higher rating for two key reasons — the options of food available (there are a about 100+ of them) and the ambience. Indian restaurants in Toronto are usually congested but this one is nicely spread out. The staff is nice and friendly and allow you to take your time to try out the different foods. I have usually seen folks enjoying the Pani Puri and the Chaat. They are very yummy. Folks do tell me that this isn’t the original taste but hey it’s been customized for Indian taste buds. I love this place as I am a sucker for options!

We’ve come to this place many times and the experience is always consistent. Food selection is not as great as other all you can eat places like Mandarin but it is clean inside and the servers are attentive to your needs.
There are a few dishes that are good but overall most offerings are nothing special enough that you must go here to have it. One good thing is that they are usually accommodating when other places are full or at capacity for certain holidays.
I would recommended trying it at least once.

Large selection of indian food. The resturant is very clean and the staff is friendly.

Honestly, this was our go-​to Indian place until we looked up the reviews for the (new at the time) Mississauga location and discovered some criticisms that we frankly couldn’t disagree with. Nothing horrible, just that there were better options. So after a little looking we found something better (India’s Taste) and that has since become our go-​to place.
But Tandoori Flame isn’t a bad place and perhaps presents better than our new favorite if entertaining or having a business lunch.

OMG!!!
It’s really THE Biggest Indian buffet I have ever seen. Literally with 150+ items including veg and non-​veg, this restaurant certainly stands out as a unique one. Without compromising on the taste, their biggest buffet offers wide varieties, excellent ambience, and the best hospitality. Yes it is a must try! Just 3 words — Don’t miss this!!!

Omg!!! I haven’t had something this good in a loooong time. If there were 10 stars I would give them that. So so fresh and delicious. We have been sitting here for 2 hours now and I am sorry we can’t eat here every day. Very very recommended.

On the prowl for awesome Indian buffets. Found this place.
What’s so great about it: clean, good service, incredible variety/​selection
Not that great: you can find better quality elsewhere
Not to say that it’s bad by any-​means– it was great! It’s just that this is the place where their variety is what carries them above other biffets. I highly recommend.

excellent Indian buffet.
Naan perfectly done. The whole restaurant very clean, especially for all you can eat establishemnt

I would give it 2.5 stars.
Tandoori Flame has a large selection of Indian food, however, only a few dishes were good, the rest was substandard.
Butter chicken and goat curry were good, I did enjoy these two items. I was disappointed with the naan as it was cold even though we were there during lunch hours on weekend.
My hubby loves eating Gulab jamnun at Indian restaurants but their Gulab was soggy
Overall, its average quality, large selection of food.

A buffet is a great place to get a taste (an introduction) to a new cuisine, and that’s what it is… The food was a bit on the salty side and the carbs fill you up quite fast. The variety was limited and after a round or two the selections seems repetitive. I enjoyed their briyani and meatier dishes. I find their pricing steep and services aren’t always that responsive. Overall, it’s a nice change of pace but not place I’d choice on an everyday basis.

Tandoori Flame has a pretty great selection for an Indian buffet but everything tastes kind of… meh. From the salads to the curries to the Indian sweets, I can’t say I particularly enjoyed anything though I don’t exactly feel like my money was wasted. It was just ok.
The décor is beautiful and they create a nice atmosphere. The bathrooms are really nice! But yeah, that’s not exactly the reason I go to most restaurants unfortunately…

Oh Tandoori Flame! You really let me down this time. I’ll preface this by saying that I’ve eaten here before and also eaten at the other location in Mississauga, and both times had a MUCH better experience. That said, last night, Diwali, was my second visit to the Brampton location which we went to after the fireworks celebrations at a nearby temple.
We arrived around 9:15, but were never made aware that they close PROMPTLY at 10pm. By the time I got dessert, they had already removed the spoons from the desserts, so I had to use my own (a new one, at least) to scoop out the sad looking remains of kheer & mango pudding — SUPER unsanitary. The food from the rest of the buffet had already been removed, so heaven forbid I wanted one last scoop of something savory. For a +$ 20 buffet, they should wait until all guests have left to start taking the food & serving spoons away, or AT THE VERY LEAST, let us know that they’ll be shutting down soon. Some of my friends didn’t even get dessert and we felt VERY rushed! Also, because we were late in the service, many of the dishes (particularly the sambar) were COLD. Gross.
Our waitress was nice enough but we had to ask SEVERAL (like at least 10, I’m not even kidding) times for water. Eventually the man-​friend grabbed water off of another table that had left — normally this would totally gross me out, but I got over it because of how thirsty I was and how tired we were of asking!
Lastly, paying the bill was its own debacle. We were a large group with split checks, which shouldn’t be that tough. It’s a buffet — everyone is charged the same! Yet we were charged $ 57 for two people, while another couple was charged $ 60 for two, and yet another $ 22 for one — the bills made NO sense. They also decided to add 10% gratuity, which I would normally be okay with. But we were at a buffet that shut down before we were finished and had overall HORRENDOUS service.
My advice: if you are going to go to Tandoori Flames, DON’T GO LATE! After last night’s visit, I’m not sure I’ll be returning ever.

Buffet dining is often akin to culinary gambling. You are lured in by the chance of victory based on so much choice but more often than not you lose in terms of food quality and/​or taste. Tandoori Flame is far from spectacular and the succinct comment from our Punjabi hosts said it all: Their standards have dropped.
Several dishes were just OK and a few downright disappointing. In the latter category their rendition of Jalebi, a classic Indian sweet, was somewhat sour. Definitely not a flavour profile one expects from this traditionally, intensely sweet dish.
Drinks are expensive and when our host wanted a non-​alcholic version of their cocktail the server repeatedly said in a monotone parrot like tone that it will cost the same. Only after being told in two languages that «we don’t care about the cost, we’d just like it without alcohol» did she relent.
One standout dish that my host highly recommended because of its rarity and unique flavour was their Pindi Channa. Though similar in colour to Dal Makhani it’s cooked sans cream and therefore drier. It has a distinct hint of tartness and tastes nothing like its more famous lentil cousin. The other was their Tawa Chicken which was quite delicious and very fresh as I noticed it being replenished regularly during our visit.
You’ll fare far better going a la carte at Kwality Sweets which is only 10 minutes away

Very good food and lots of options and all tasty
Service 4 stars
Taste 4 and half stars
Variety 5 stars
Price 4 and half stars
Over all 4 – 5 stars

One of the better buffets I’ve had. It used to be Brar’s but they have gone down in quality dramatically over the past year.
Their non veg selection is great it’s fresh flavorful, quality food. Naan is soft. Gol gappe is one of the best in GTA, nice dessert selection. All in all good quality for money.
I go there every time I want to play safe.

I went for the lunch buffet with a friend. My experience here was positive. The food was delicious, service was prompt, and there wasn’t a huge crowd.
I have also done take out as well and this is where i deducted a star. Take out can get a little disorganized.

This was my first time having Indian food. The place was nice and clean. The female waitress were nice and friendly. The place got busy very quickly and we had to wait a little while to get our drinks.
Lots to choose from in the buffet so I was glad to have a friend show me what everything was.
The Naan was so fresh and good and all the food I tried was tasty. I was surprised because I never thought I would ever enjoy Indian food so I am glad I did.
The only thing I would suggest is that if it is your first time go with someone that knows this food so enjoy it even more and have a better experience.
I will go back for sure and try a few other dishes I didn’t get the chance too.
