Flame

The Best Restaurants in Ozone Park and South Ozone Park Queens | Eater NY

"Peri peri chicken and Pakistani tandoor cooking join forces on the menu of the recently opened Flames restaurant in the quiet residential area down 101st Avenue in Ozone Park. The fusion is conspicuous in the boneless peri peri chicken roll wrapped in naan. Owner Umar Aslam serves up the peri peri chicken in other ways, too — as wings, full, half. or quarter chicken with a choice of spice levels and flavors like mango-lime and lemon-herb, over rice, and in a salad. Its Pakistani fare shines with both traditional and playful touches: chicken kabab twisted and baked into sesame seed-sprinkled naan dough; seven kinds of naan with stuffings that include minced chicken and mozzarella; tikka and kebabs finished off in a tandoori flame; and pink Kashmiri tea loaded with pistachio. Umar Aslam says all the meat is halal to serve the Muslim Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian and Middle Eastern community in the neighborhood." - Caroline Shin
