Flame Indian Restaurant is a central New Plymouth dining room that works equally well for a curry lunch, an unhurried dinner or a group banquet. The Devon Street East premises has proper seating, table service, reservations and a full bar, while takeaway and delivery add flexibility beyond the restaurant. Its cooking draws particular attention to Indian and Punjabi traditions, then opens the menu across tandoor dishes, curries, rice, breads and desserts. That breadth lets first-time diners stay with a familiar favourite while regulars can move into less expected meat, seafood or vegetable combinations.
The meal can begin at the tandoor, where chicken tikka and fresh fish tikka bring the dry heat and char of oven cooking before a sauced main. Garlic-and-cheese naan, garlic naan and butter naan are more than accessories when the table is sharing several gravies, and rice offers a gentler base. The menu's separate seafood and Indo-Chinese sections widen the choices further, making it possible to build a meal that moves between dry-cooked dishes, breads and curries rather than repeating one preparation.
Among the main dishes, butter chicken sits on the creamy, approachable side, while chicken korma takes another rich route. Lamb rogan josh and goat curry bring different meat textures and spice profiles, and lamb biryani turns fragrant rice into the central feature rather than a side. Because those choices span tomato-led gravy, a gentler korma, slow-cooked meat and an aromatic rice preparation, a shared order can produce meaningful variation instead of several bowls that eat alike.
Vegetarian diners receive a similarly developed range. Dal makhani builds its meal around lentils, saag paneer pairs cheese with greens, and paneer butter masala or karahi paneer shifts the same ingredient into distinct sauces. Malai kofta supplies another substantial option, especially when joined by rice and fresh bread. Flame's combination of individual curries, mixed starters and banquet-style dining suits both a focused meal for two and a larger table that wants to sample widely, with lassi or a bar drink available to temper the spice along the way.
