4 /5 Milan K: We had a mixed experience at North Indian Flame Bar & Restaurant. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service that made us feel welcome. For the average person seeking Indian food, the offerings here are great, but I have some specific thoughts on what stood out and what fell short.
The dal makhani was bland to me—it was decent but lacked the rich, authentic flavor I expect from this dish. The paneer sabji had an excellent curry base, but the paneer itself was undercooked and not well-seasoned. The okra sabji was tasty, but I was expecting a stir-fried version rather than a tomato-based curry, which wasn’t quite to my taste. Overall, I’d rate the curries a 7/10. The rice was fluffy, though some grains felt slightly undercooked, but this wasn’t a major issue for us.
The naan was a highlight—I highly recommend the garlic naan, as its texture and flavor were superior to the regular or butter naan. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of it. The samosa chaat was well-flavored with properly seasoned chickpeas, earning a 9/10, though I wished it had more green chili to make it spicier. The standout dish was the chilli paneer—it was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice for us. They offer three spice levels, and the medium heat in the chilli paneer was spot-on.
For dessert, the rasmalai was fresh but didn’t impress, so I’d give it a 5/10. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience and would recommend North Indian Flame to anyone looking to try Indian food.
