I placed a phone order for pickup—chicken biryani (extra spicy) and vegetable samosas—and this place absolutely delivered. The portions were generous, especially the biryani, which came out perfectly moist and genuinely extra spicy without crossing into “too hot to enjoy.” It had that ideal balance of heat and flavor that keeps you going back for another bite. The vegetable samosas were excellent—golden brown, crisp, and cooked to perfection. Easily some of the better samosas I’ve had in the area. Service was just as impressive. The young man at the counter was friendly, welcoming, and made sure I had everything I needed, including to‑go silverware and plates. They even threw in some vegetables and a gulab jamun dessert free of charge, which was a really thoughtful touch. If you’re in Modesto and craving solid Indian food with great service, I definitely recommend giving Tandoori Flame a try.

This place delivered on every level. Great butter chicken and tikka masala. Incredible Naan butter and garlic flavor with others to choose from. Cool beers from India as well that tasted great. Nice staff that was attentive and ready for your requests. Full bar as well for those that want something else to drink. All of the food was very freshly cooked perfect and delicious. Vegetable Korma, Samosas, and Raita Dip were also a hit with the fam.

Come here for dinner!! My boyfriend and I just finished a wonderful dinner here at the resto- the meal was flavorful, portions were filling, and the staff was kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the vegetable samosa which was perfectly fried with a flaky filo dough outside and beautifully seasoned cooked vegetable filling on the inside. It also came with two different and tasty dipping sauces! For our mains, we each had the lamb vindaloo with a side of rice and garlic butter naan. The lamb was cooked perfectly- it was tender and fell apart at the touch. The vindaloo gravy was wonderfully seasoned and not too hot in spice level- we ordered mild spiciness and were able to appreciate a hint of spice which allowed the seasonings to shine through. The naan was fluffy, perfect for dipping! The resto was tastefully decorated and had a nice ambience, although we were sadly the only patrons (to no fault of the resto). The staff were all incredibly kind and cooked an incredible meal. I highly recommend enjoying a dinner meal here!!!
