Bombay Flames Indian Restaurant

Fantastic food even at the new location they adopted, I’ve been going here for years and years. The quality has never once dropped,only improved. The naan was absolutely fantastic with the minced garlic, sliced peppers. The chicken madras was full of robust flavors, tender chicken, slightly spicy just how I was hoping it would taste. 11/10 restaurant highly recommend if you’re in the John’s creek area or in Georgia in general!

Bombay flames setup is simply superb, like the atmosphere and vibe in there. Serves alcohol and liquor on house and decent outdoor seating. Panner kabab was excellent and Chicken Biryani was not upto my expectations, Chicken was not tender enough. Will definitely try once againal and update back on my review.

We came in at 5pm Christmas Eve, and ordered the Non Vegetable Sampler, Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Keema Naan. We ordered level 4 since my husband and I like spicy food. It was great, but I would cut back to level 3 next time. The food was beautifully plated and delicious, and the Butter Chicken was especially decadent and my favorite. The waiter was timely and excellent, filling our water glasses before they were empty. I loved that the restaurant had relaxed ambience something that is rare these days. The lighting soft, classical music playing with sophisticated decor, and comfortable seating contributing to this wonderful experience. We will be back more often, I love the new location being closer to home, and openness in the dining area. Need to have a conversation with owners.

In first impression ambience looked good . Nice set up. But the moment someone ordered sizzlers, everyone inside was coughing and staff didn’t bother to do anything unless I told them to do something. Their response, Sir it’s sizzler what Can we do and then they opened a door on the request to let fresh air in. Food was below average. Chicken Tikka Masala was sweet. Biryani was not even looking like Biryani. Chicken 65 was dry. Condiments were so less that you can’t even eat half the biryani. The worst part of this restaurant is staff. Staff/Owner very rude foul mouthed, not ready to take any feedback. They feel that they have done a huge favor by opening this restaurant. Their approach, If you don’t like the restaurant don’t come but the don’t want any feedback. Final word- This place is not worth a try.

Loved the atmosphere and the service was quick. The lentil soup wasn’t as expected it tasted weird more like onions than lentil, food in general was good but I hate how they only gave us one white rice for three different meals. And there samosa is over priced! 2 plates of samosas and three lentil soups with 2 naan orders were almost more expensive than 5 different meals! They also add 20% tip

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience with my wife at this place. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with a friendly smile and made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was quiet, charming, and perfect for enjoying a relaxing meal together. Customer service was excellent throughout our visit, attentive but not intrusive. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommended for couples or anyone looking for great food and a peaceful setting

DONT RECOMMEND AT ALL. Food was okay. The server was horrible. His service was not good at all. He wouldn't remove or lower the tip even after horrible service. The food was way to spicy and we couldn't eat it. I asked they take it back and they did. Server kept arguing with us. We will not be returning again after being a loyal customer. When I told the server I didnt like the service he didnt show any concern and said racially he can't do anything. Rude and unprofessional. This is why no one should go here at all. see response from owner: I just read your messages and read your reviews on Google, if you say that you are our regular customer you should know our spice levels very well. If you were a decent guy or belonged to a decent family you would have waited for my response before posting reviews online altogether. I feel sorry for people like you. If you can't afford to dine-in in an exclusive and authentic restaurant don't go there, you can just go to many places in Norcross or Decatur where you can eat Indian food for a much cheaper price. Wherever the quality of our food and service is concerned cheap people like you can't dream of or afford, even though our prices are reasonable and our quality is top notch. You ordered all the food at spice level 3 out of 5. Just because our portions are huge you thought with your cheap mentality that let us save some money and complain about one of the most expensive items on the menu that it's spicy and we can't eat it. The truth is that you almost ate more than half of it and then you complained that the mix grill is spicy for you. My server offered you Raita (yogurt sauce) on the house and you had sweet tamarind chutney as well on the table which very well helps bring the spiciness down but you were concerned only on how to save a few bucks because you can't afford to dine -in in an exclusive restaurant like ours. If you are going to dispute I will counter dispute and also sue you for the fraud you tried to commit in my restaurant. Be ready for it. I will see you in court. Can you believe this unethical and unprofessional person? Never will I return here or recommend to anyone.

Bombay Flames was such a treat! We had the samosa chat, which was bright and flavorful, to start. I had the chicken tikka masala, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked well without making the chicken tough. My daughter had the chicken 65, and it was the best I’ve ever tasted. The rice was aromatic and had just the right amount of salt and cumin seed. Service was friendly and prompt. The menu is extensive and had many vegetarian options. I will come back to try other dishes. This will definitely be a staple and go-to for Indian cuisine nearby our new home. The dining room is slightly formal and feels refined—my only critique would be to have the lights a bit more dim in the evening to keep with the formality and mood. 100 would recommend; we will return!

The food at the hotel was delicious and hygienic. Especially the [dish name] was incredibly tasty!

First visit to this new location, we have been frequent customers in the past. We are very pleased to say that the food and service continues to be superb. We praise and recommend Bombay Flames to our friends and family without any reservations. The ambiance is outstanding at this new location. It's pleasant surroundings motivates us, feeling very positive about our dining experience. We will bring our friends and family in the near future.

Ordered DoorDash in high hopes since some friends recommended this Indian restaurant and it was so disappointing. My paneer tikki app was bland, tasted like they only added turmeric and no salt or spice, butter chicken was about a 2/5 and naan came soggy. Delivery came quick so not sure why. Will not be ordering from them again

So yummy! One of my favorite places to get indian food in Georgia, the butter chicken is incredibly rich and indulgent, the other food is all delicious and authentic and the staff is very friendly! ! You truly can't go wrong, I highly recommend this restaurant!

I ordered butter chicken and lamb rogan josh and was given a choice of spice levels from 1 to 5. I chose 2.5, expecting something mild to moderately spiced. Instead, the food was extremely spicy--far beyond what I asked for, to the point that I had tears in my eyes. It was clearly closer to a level 5 or higher. If 2.5 is too spicy, they should mention it. One would expect 2.5 to have some spice, but not unbearably. I called right away on Friday night to explain, and the staff member on duty acknowledged the issue and said I could bring the food back for a replacement--without mentioning any specific time limit. Since I couldn't return that evening or Saturday, I called back on Sunday morning. That's when things took a turn. The owner answered and was incredibly rude in my opinion and dismissive. She refused to honor the original offer and told me that if I couldn't handle the spice, I shouldn't have ordered it--completely disregarding that I had explicitly asked for a moderate spice level. There was no accountability or any attempt to understand the situation. While I take some responsibility for not coming back sooner, I expected basic courtesy and professionalism. Instead, I was met with condescension and zero effort to make things right. The food itself might be decent, but with service this unprofessional, I won't be returning. Thankfully, there are plenty of other Indian restaurants in the area that know how to treat customers with respect.

Great food and ambience. CVCT, garlic naan and malai kofta are a must try. Restaurant was neat, clean and quiet. Most entrees were within $16 and good portion sizes.

This was some bomb rice. 9/10 easy the goat is so tender and seasoned. I asked for the 1.5 spicy level and it has just the right amount of kick

Still rice stars after all these years. Bombay Flames is where I treat myself for lunch. My usual is their signature Palak Paneer and I jones for it every couple of weeks. The lunch buffet is gone, which is perfectly fine with me. Yeah...maybe a little more expensive if the appetite is huge...but the single servings are a fine size for yours truly. The spice level is legit, ranging 1 to 5, so you best have your big boy pants on if you sign up for 5. I'm a spicy food lover and 3-4 is plenty. Still one of my local favorites.

Exploring the city we wanted to check out Bombay flames on a Sunday night. The service was really good and they really tried to answer all our questions and modify the dishes as we requested. They ask for spice levels and we asked for 2 for kids and 3 spice level for us. But if you are an average spice eater do understand that level 3 was pretty spicy for us. Just FYI They don't have any bone in options for chicken which I would request them to have atleast one of it. We had ordered the non veg platter which came as a sizzler as was pretty impressive. The laccha paratha was an hit with my kids and husband. Chicken Afghani and Chicken Curry were good too. They are the service fee in the bill which on upon asking looked like that has added the tip already for 4 of us. Rest of our experience was good with the Resturant.

This is some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time. I got it delivered but the portions were hot and plentiful. I really like their chicken korma and this is the first place I tried the cheesy naan. This is going to be an absolute staple of my diet from now on. I can't wait to try more!

PHENOMENAL food! This place is lights out delicious!I've already reviewed it once,but I have to again! Get their Chicken Tikka,Garlic and Cheese Naan and Palak Paneer and thank me later! So happy we have this amazing,authentic food in Johns Creek. I hope everyone supports this wonderful place!

The best Indian food I have had in Georgia. Their naan melts in your mouth, buttery deliciousness. The Lamb Saag was had the perfect amount of pickled spice and curry. I cannot rave about this place enough. I stop every time I drive through Alpharetta, even though stopping often costs me an additional 35 minutes in traffic enroute home. It's just that good.

The place felt a little hidden and it was a little empty when we arrived so we felt a bit skeptical but our server was very polite and gave us their recommendation. The place had beautiful glass art and is suitable for large parties which was convenient since it started to get full shortly after we arrived. Always a good sign for good food. The food took a little long to arrive and our mixed vegetable appetizer was just ok but we truly enjoyed our Samosa Chat The main dishes were also flavorful but our Chicken Afghani was a little too sweet and the Lamb Biryani was spicier than expected according to my husband. Nonetheless, I consider it a solid Indian restaurant to what my knowledge of Indian food is.

This restaurant has been our favorite Indian restaurant in the area for a long time! I'm absolutely thrilled to say their new location is beautiful! The same delicious food, and great service but a much better location!! And for us the additional bonus of it being much closer to home! I will definitely be a regular!

So delicious. Healthy and just so flavorful and spicy. I do recommend ordering something extra, like a salad or something saucy as it is basic. But so good!

We absolutely love this restaurant!!! Everyone that I've recommended this place to has felt the same. Their chicken tikka masala is a staple in our home and go to meal when we need a warm, comforting meal. The food is always consistent, well-spiced, and generous in terms of portions. Their naan is also amazing; you can't go wrong with any variation you choose. The service here is great as well. The staff is very friendly and prompt on responding to requests. The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem.

The food here is pretty good. The non vegetarian mixed platter was superb. Our curries were spiced very well, no complaints! The naan breads were a little bit thick for my preference but that's a minor point in what was a good experience.

I love this place. I eat here every Thursday and the Chef and Ruschi greet me each time I come in. Food is so delicious and our favorite item is chicken Afghani. We love Chef Singh and Bombay Flames.

Please never eat here I caught food poisoning from here I ate here 6 times my nephew and my sister and I myself got food poisoning they were sent to the hospital for poisoning we have experience pain in suffering from this food place we use to like it the food made us all sick I will be eating my favorite Chinese food they never get me sick but this place never eat her always read the reviews

We have been customers of this long established restaurant for several years. However, our most recent visits to Bombay Flames have been quite unsatisfactory. The restaurant is nicely appointed inside and generally clean looking. Our last two attempts at having a quiet meal has been stymied by other patrons who don't seem to understand how to use their indoor voices, control their children or respect the fact that they are not in their home dining but in a restaurant surrounded by others. Believe it or not, I'm not interested in hearing your conversations. We have tried takeout food on a few different occasions in order to avoid the rude customers. There is no online ordering (which is surprising considering this is 2023) so if we are going to be in this area we decide to call in an order to pick up on the way home. We have learned that the meat in most of their chicken dishes tends to be overly dry white meat so we opt for the vegetable entrées. This generally works out until you actually get home and taste the food. The kitchen has an extremely heavy hand with the cayenne pepper on practically every dish on the menu. Other yelpers have mentioned this and our most recent entrée of okra Bhindi Masala, was completely inedible due to the amount of pepper. That's $16 down the drain and is not appreciated. Particularly since we requested a "level two" spice for the dinner. I'm not sure who can eat food that is so over seasoned. I like to be able to actually taste the food in the order not just pepper. Other reviewers have said that the food was "painfully spicy." Good luck if you want to try Bombay Flames. You will find them on the right side of Mansell Rd east if you are heading west towards GA-400. The restaurant has plenty of parking and it sits at the end of a small strip center adjacent to two hotels.

Had a hankering for some chicken tikka masala for lunch today -- so placed on online order. Super fast delivery -- the chicken and naan were delicious -- and (I'm a lightweight) the #1 spice level was perfect. Will definitely order again!

Doesn't look like much when you drive by. But boy you must give this place a try. I have been here a multitude of times. They are phenomenal. I like the chicken tiki and the curry as well. Both solid choices. They have a spicy level of 1-5. I like to get 2 or 3 and they have a good level of spice. I can't imagine what 5 tastes like. I like to ask for chili flakes on the side so I can spice it up accordingly. The naan bread is tasty I get butter ontop and it melts in your mouth. The chicken always tastes fresh and is seasoned to perfection. The tiki comes with onions, bell peppers and rice. I wish they would include a little more rice than the small container but just order more.

Wow! I have to admit pulling up that I had some hesitations. It's in a parking lot next to a Ramada that is... less than glamorous. I am so glad that we gave it a chance! Our server was so friendly and on top of bringing me constant water because I'm a spice wuss. The butter chicken was phenomenal!

My first time dining here. Lunch was excellent! I had the Chicken Tikka Masala which was spot on. My work colleague had the Butter Chicken which I sampled and it was really good. The owners (chef) came and spoke to us personally: very nice touch! For a small strip mall location sandwiched between two chain hotels, the ambience tries to evoke an old world Eastern feel which they pull off. The interior is charming and inviting. I will definitely be back!

What ana amazing restaurant serving authentic north indian taste !!!! Totally enjoyable experience!! Service along with the yummy food was worth coming to this place again. Ordered amazing started with non veg sampler and malai kofta with aloo paratha!!!! The ambience of the restaurant is top notch as well!!

I've been coming here for years and I have never had anything bad here. The shrimp tandoori, the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, pappadum, naan, etc...all DELICIOUS! They also have some Indo Chinese meals (although it's recently been unavailable) that are amazing like the Chili Shrimp. The service is also always pleasant.

I have never eaten inside Bombay, their food alone drives this review. I've never had better Malai Kofta than Bombay flames. Great portion size. Garlic Naan isn't light on the garlic. Delicious and moist. Good portion of rice as well.

I ordered takeout during their closed afternoon hours and was told it would be ready at 5:30. When I arrived at 5:10 everything was prepared to go, which I greatly appreciated! The food is amazing and as I live an hour and a half away, I will happily make the trip again the next time we want Indian!

Great Service and friendly staff. And the food is amazing and delicious. And the place is really nice and clean. The menu is full of delicious dishes and variety for everyone!

If you're looking for super solid Indian cuisine - this place is it! This restaurant feels off to the side and more of a "hole-in-the-wall" but the decor is super inviting, cozy, and cultural. It wasn't busy when we went either so there was no wait. A group of four of us were sat in booth and we ordered the butter chicken, afghan chicken, and butter naan. The food was delivered VERY quickly with the utmost polite service from our waiter. It was very delicious, tasted fresh, and the butter naan was absolutely to die for. I had some of the gulab jamun for dessert and it was splendid. My only gripe is that I found not one, but two small hairs in my sauce. This is the second time we've come and both times I've had some hair in my food. My friend's wife also had a lipstick stain on her water glass and needed it replaced. Overall: food is excellent, cleanliness can be tightened up a bit. Would return a third.

We have continued to order from Bombay Flames all during the pandemic shut downs and restrictions and have never ever been disappointed with their food. In fact they have become our go-to when we can't decide if we want anything else. Or as my partner says "I can always eat lamb biryani!" He always gets the lamb biryani but I've tried multiple other dishes including the chicken masala, the tandoori shrimp, the butter chicken, and a few other things that I can't remember off the top of my head. They've always been good - flavorful and spicy and arrived hot and well packaged. Still a favorite!

Since moving to Alpharetta a year ago we've been incredibly happy with how delicious and consistent the food has been here. As vegetarians we are always looking for tasty food in the South, and it's not always easy, but Bombay Flames has become a monthly staple for us. Highly recommend all their vegetarian dishes!!

We have eaten here for years and it's always EXCELLENT! Paneer Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, garlic Naan are our favorites and they never disappoint! My only complaint is they don't have a location here in Canton!

We had a very nice visit to this restaurant. We had never been here before, and just took a chance because we love Indian food. The Peshawari naan was very nice. The tiki masala and curried lamb were very good and the rice was fine. The Gulab Jamun was lovely. I would recommend this restaurant.

This is the 2nd time eating lunch there. Food was excellent. I got the shrimp curry and my Mom got the lamb. Both delicious.

I wasn't a fan of this place. Service was extremely slow even though the restaurant was almost empty. The chicken in our curries was very very dry. The potatoes in my husband's Chicken Vindaloo were barely cooked! They were still very hard. Overall I wouldn't come back because there are so many better Indian restaurants in Alpharetta to choose from.

We went to Bombay Flames on Saturday for their Indian lunch buffet. At first I was a little skeptical because of the location, but once inside it was a nice layout and the buffet was well stocked. We were seated and ordered drinks, then proceeded to the buffet. I was quite impressed by the selections; they had everything from butter chicken, goat, tandoori chicken, palak paneer, naan bread, chicken biryani, vegetable biryani, plain rice, homemade pickles, soups, salad, mango pudding, etc. All of which was fresh and tasted great satisfying my craving for Indian food. The servers took good care of us; making sure we were happy with the food and keeping our drinks full.

Very good Indian lunch buffet for $7.99 on the weekends (12-3:30pm). Thanks to Yelp for helping discover this place - I was meeting two friends last month who live in the N. Fulton area and Bombay Flames showed up near the top of my search results. It also helped to see my trusted Yelp friends Angela M, Yane Y, and Paul P give great reviews too. Service was nice, and it's always a good sign to see Indian customers in an Indian restaurant :) Buffet included everything you'd expect - chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, chicken tandoori, chicken curry, goat, spinach paneer, mixed vegetable pakoras, chickpeas, basmati, naan, and more. They also had a separate chaat station and our server prepared a nice plate for us :) The location is a little far but close to 400. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely go back. If you live in this area and love Indian food -- or you'd like to try Indian food for the first time -- then I highly recommend you check this place out. FYI - they also have lunch buffet during the week from 11:30-2:30pm.

I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and it was excellent. Best that I've had in a very long time. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food and service was very good, the host was super friendly. I would give it 5 star but I am originally from NY so I have been places. The food is North Indian style. I would order spice level 3 on a scale of 5. It could get spicy and level 3 had a decent kick to it.

Emm! It was okay! Outside was blah! Next to a Ramada hotel-- what? Went in with a group of people I met on meet up, since I am new and looking to do something exciting, too long a drive to eat buffet, not impressed, nice decor, Indian spice fragrances lingering in the eating area, yes! I have a sensitive nose, a bit nostalgic, and a bit nauseated. I must be coming down with something, pani-puri side bar was meh... too small, no instructions for non Indians how to prep that dish. But did make some friends in the process of showing them how pani puri is eaten. I like my ethnic restaurants to be culture wise, it should have the feel of home, many do, owners/managers promote their business, country culture. This owner or worker did not, not friendly front desk personnel and $13.67 for a buffet is pretty steep. Nah! I ain't coming back.

Still the best Indian food I've ever had, hands down, this place is pure comfort & joy.

I love Indian food and this place did not disappoint. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and my bf got the Butter Masala, heat level 3. I have to say it was spicy! But, in a good way. My bf was sweating and he eats a ton of spicy food. The naan was so perfectly tender and flavorful. The vegetable appetizer sampler was really good. Dem chutnies. Great service, glass never empty, couldn't have asked for more!

Awesome, authentic Indian Food! I like mine spicy, and they definitely delivered. Not to scare anyone off; you can get mild there too, and everything is fresh, delicious and cooked to order. Been there twice, and it's definitely my "go-to" spot for good Indian food when I'm working in the area.

The food is delicious!!! We've been going there for years, and when we want great Indian food, we go back. However, I believe they would do so much more business if they had a pristine space. The restaurant could definitely use a face lift.

Excellent butter chicken, it's the slightly sweet kind that I like that is surprisingly hard to find.

There is no way this place gets an average of 4 stars. I smell foul play. Talking about odors....both carpet and table top smelled bad. Carpet probably because it was not kept clean (we even found food remains under the table). Table wiped down with a stinky damp cloth!! Let me not even get started with the mosquitoes under the table. We had to move to another spot to try and avoid the bloodsuckers. Waiting 40 mins for food to be served didn't help either. Let's get to the worst part of it. Food was tolerable at best. Samosas were obviously thawed out and weren't fresh. Chicken 65 and Nan were the only ones that were OK. Biryani was worse than freezer version. Chicken Tikka Masala....I mean 'chicken in some canned tomato sauce' was horrible. Now, when an Indian restaurant can't even cook tikka masala....that's the sign of doom. Unless they really turn things around Bombay flames will evaporate out of existence soon

Great food at reasonable prices Good service Good ambience Good quantity of food Nice place to eat Indian food in alpharetta

So I recently started working around Roswell area, and I noticed how many Indian restaurants are around the area. I am assuming there is a huge demand for it. Bombay Flames was one of the new Indian places, which I got to try out around the area, and I specifically went there for Friday lunch buffett. I was told that this place gives more food and fish on Friday's. I didn't have any issue finding this place, and I got sat pretty quickly. The waiter seemed a little off, maybe he was having an off day, but everything else was fine. I noticed other negative reviews, and I paid attention for those things, but I didn't have the same experience. Luckily, mine was pleasant or better than the other negative experiences. Food was ok, and I was not looking for some blown away experience. For an Indian buffet, I left satisfied. Chicken felt a little dry, but that can't be really helped when it's constantly under heat. The classic tikka masala was ok, and I went for a second helping after the first. The selection of was good, and for under 10 dollars, it is definitely worth going back. The buffet line is split into vegetarian and non-vegetarian section, and so I got to sample both, which quite enjoyed the variety. I have had better Indian buffet or food before, but for under 10 dollars for lunch, this is a good spot to hit. The spices were all there, but it was not delicate. The basic ingredients are present, but the level of sophistication with the spices do fall below your other Indian places. However, I keep repeating this part, this was a lunch buffet, so we can't expect high level. If you are in the area and want to pig out with Indian food, check out Bombay Flames. PS. The fried fish was seasoned, but it was more batter than fish.
