Tandoori Flames — Restaurant in Parsippany-Troy Hills

Update: we went for lunch on a Thursday , and the food was not as impressive. Yes, it was half-priced than the food on weekends, but I did not anticipate such a drop in dish selection and flavor. I would avoid coming here on weekdays.

Liked a handful of dishes - sesame chicken, samosa, pani puri water, egg masala, paneer methi malai, curd raita. The other chicken appetizer was bad, the broccoli appetizer had huge chunks of semi-cooked broccoli and tasteless potatoes, daal was ok, biryani was unimpressive, veg noodles were nice. Skipped veg entree, saag aaloo, gulab jamuns. Heard the moong dal halwa had an almost liquid consistency, and was too sweet. Even the naans weren't as good :(

Leaving the ratings untouched to reflect the weekend experience.

Excellent buffet! But at a steep price of 27.99 on weekends.

Remember to request for Naan some time before you get to main course. Depending on crowd, it can take time. But the wait will be worth it.

60% items were excellent. 20% were good, remaining were ok.

Mango or other Lassi is additional $5.00 to buffet. It is not included.

Appetizers - samosa and spring rolls were excellent, pani poori was OK. Chicken seekh kebab and malai kebab were ok. Chicken majestic was very good. Gobhi manchurian was crispy but ok tasting.

Main course - Excellent paneers - paneer khushbudaar (best), paneer matter - sweeter of the 2. Chicken curry and goat Rogan Josh excellent. Didn't try spinach chicken. Aaloo chhole was ok.

Chicken Biryani was OK. Didn't try veg biryani.

Sweets - mango rabri was good tasting but was all liquid not semi solid like rabri should be, jalebi and gulag jamun were ok. Gulab jamuns were very soft. Jalebi didn't seem fresh, more like getting one from a pre-packaged box.. and this was at 1pm on Saturday - 1 hr after opening.

Daal makhani was good but a little sour for my taste. I don't think the tomatoes were cooked well and that caused the unwanted sourness in the daal. I could see the diced tomatoes in the daal.

Overall, it's a good buffet. Total items might be counted as 30 including chutneys but at almost 30/person, I feel it is a good novelty buffet than a frequent dining...

If you love Indian food like me and you know it can get very expensive. I found this place sometime on the weekend, they have an incredible buffet on the weekends. It’s in a little strip mall, it’s very easy to miss it. It looks small from the outside but huge inside. They have an extensive variety of food, something for vegetarians and omnivores. They serve fresh naan as soon as you sit down after you go to the banquet hall to make yourself a plate. The only time I go is on Saturday and Sunday because of the buffet. The best time is around 1:30pm, it gets very crowded infants, young and old. They are constantly bringing out more food around that time. They also have a dessert 🍨 station, my goodness I love this place.

Don’t go late between 2:30 pm- 2:45 pm they have to close, clean and eat before they open for dinner. Be considerate guys. Or no buffet for you.

P.S. the service is excellent the guys are very polite and attentive. 10/10 recommend

Edit: I came back🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣this time I took pictures, the goat briyani was just everything heaven would be. Tandoori flames just take my wallet, the food is absolutely amazing and I love coming back for more. I’ll never stop coming here unless I go on a diet😅😅which isn’t happening anytime soon😂🤣😂🤣. This place really do a great job in regards to the quality of the food, I’ve never been to India but it feels like I’m there every time I go there. Mouthwatering, succulent and spiced just right. This place is always busy on the weekend, why? Because the food is to die for and none of their customers ever complain at that buffet because there is something for everyone. Give this place a try. I’ve been here so many times I’ve never had a bad meal.

P.S. Tandoor Flames keep up the quality of the your food and continue the wonderful service. I’ll...

A Culinary Delight – Exceptional Food and Service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tandoori Flames, and I must say, it was an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality, and the inviting aroma of freshly prepared Indian cuisine set the tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable meal.

The food was simply phenomenal—each dish was bursting with rich, authentic flavors that showcased the perfect blend of spices and fresh ingredients. The tandoori items were perfectly charred and packed with smoky goodness, the curries were rich and flavorful, and the naan was soft, warm, and just the right amount of crispy. Every bite felt like a true celebration of Indian cuisine.

The service was top-notch—the staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. They took the time to recommend dishes, checked in regularly, and ensured that everything was to our satisfaction. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service exceed expectations, but Tandoori Flames delivers on both fronts.

The ambiance of the restaurant was also impressive—cozy yet elegant, with just the right atmosphere for both casual dining and special occasions. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Indian food or trying it for the first time, this is the place to be.

I can’t recommend Tandoori Flames enough! If you’re looking for an authentic, flavorful, and memorable dining experience, this is the perfect spot. I will definitely be...
