We had just arrived from Chicago and pulled over to look for a place to eat. There before us was Tandoori Flames!! Our favorite cuisine. Every dish was amazing, the wait staff were very attentive and the owner shared a cup of coffee that was her mother's recipe. It's not on the menu but ask for it - it's the best after dinner drink. I would go back for sure!

Everything was well balanced, not too heavy on the stomach but you definitely leave full and extremely satisfied. We will definitely add this into the rotation. Real people making real food is something you can’t find anymore but Tandoori Flames has everything you need in Indian cuisine. Photos include the Tandoori Chicken(legs&thighs), the Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, and cheese Naan. Recommend all.

*Big No for this restaurant*
We ordered food for our anniversary and it was not good at all. Chicken kadhai, chicken biryani very poor quality. Will never order from there and never recommend to friends 😐

Found this place by chance while looking for a meal after a hike. Was a little reluctant since they had no customers dining in; ended up ordering tandoori mix grill, which exceeded my expectations! I will be back for sure with family.

I have loved Indian food ever since I first tried it years ago. My best friend was half Indian and she knew authentic Indian food. She was the one who introduced me to it.
Sadly since moving down to Castle Rock we haven't had much good Indian food, the restaurants here are okay but nothing to write home about. So naturally, I was so excited when I saw this was an option in Castle Pines and seeing all of the five star reviews made my heart soar in anticipation almost KNOWING that we were going to get some good Indian food.
The atmosphere is rather modest and I don't mind because I think that they are investing into the food and that is what I was there for. It has a little bit of a hole-in-the-wall kind of charm about it as well. The owners are understaffed sadly so if you are looking for a job and you want to be a server or something maybe you should go apply here. They are doing everything themselves from cooking and serving. But that makes it a little special as well because when your Chef comes out to ask you how your food was it has such a personal touch. And she was the sweetest and the best cook. There were total mom vibes like my mom sadly has passed away so it's nice to encounter people who treat you with such kindness. You can tell she really cares that every single person is happy with every single dish. She asked us about everything we had with such sincerity and I heard her telling all of the to-go orders to make sure to let her know how they liked it. I think in today's society with so many big corporations it's so rare to find employees who actually care and that's what I love about mom and pop shops. This was literally a mom and pop shop. And that is so special and I felt privileged to be able to eat her food because it was so good and she was so kind about serving it to us.
And yes every single dish was delicious. I haven't had Indian food that good in so long. It reminded me why I love the cuisine. I will never eat Castle Rock Indian food ever again as long as this place exists in Castle Pines I will always go here. And she made us Indian coffee at the end which we have never had and that was so good. Very flavorful and intense yet creamy. She said that she was even missing one spice so it could have even been better than that, but that is hard to believe because it was really fantastic and it was one of those things that grows on you with every sip. Honestly writing this review now I want to go over there and go have another coffee haha. And I love chai and I also had chai as well, honestly I consider a good cup of chai part of the essential experience of having Indian food. However having said all that, I will probably just get coffee next time because the coffee was that good!
The only thing that disappointed us (if you could even call it a disappointment) is that they were missing a dessert we wanted to try so hopefully next time they have that because we have never had Ras-Malai before and that sounded good.
We had a feast of vegetable samosas, aloo tikki, chicken tikka masala, sizzling tandoori lobster, tikka newab, mango lassis, chai, superbeer, indian coffee, kheer and mango ice cream. I would recommend it all emphatically! tbh I should have wrote this review last night because I'm getting hungry again just remembering everything. The lobster had such a nice flavor to it and so did the shrimp, it was impressive that the shrimp had its own flavor that stood alone against the sauce because the sauce is very flavorful as well in the tikka newab. We almost ate too much because it was so tasty! And I haven't had good vegetable samosas in I don't know how many years and that has always been a favorite dish of mine so that was a delight to get to enjoy them as they should be made. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful, they are so nice.
I would recommend to this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food and if you don't like Indian food it's probably because you didn't go to a restaurant as good as this one so you should just go and give it a whirl haha. I can't wait to go back.
