What a gem !! A nice and simply decorated place, also clean and with friendly servers like Basu, who we had the pleasure to attend us today.. the chef here is incredible. This was my first time eating traditional Indian food and I lived it. So many flavors and so tasty. I had the mango curry shrimp and my wife ate the popular chicken Tikka masala. We put them in our favorites list in Google to return. Ohh I almost forgot to mention the marvelous garlic naan !!

Wow is all I can say! Forget this is next to a gas station as the food and service are excellent. It was our first time here and will def be back. Friendly greeting and tasty papadam upon arrival. We had samosas which were small but had a perfect amount of heat, lamb biryani served in a clay pot that was the best I have had in Ocala, butter chicken that was melt in your mouth and better than the place down the street, and a recommended chef special by our server, Basu, that was not tomato based but more creamy and delicious called chicken rezala which I would so order again. And the naan… wow so homemade and perfectly cooked crispy the way I love. Our server offered us a free dessert made with carrots, cinnamon, cardamom and I don’t know what else but it was warm and yummy! Can’t wait to go back and try so dishes I have never had before. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend. Come on stop in and keep this place in town!

I ate here for the first time. Chose the fish curry and chapati. Spent $29. The portion size is small. The curry was bitter. Not sure which fish this is. Definitely not tilapia or a similar fish. It tastes more like mahi mahi. I chose to go here only because 4120 Bombay restaurant was closed today and this was very close to I-75. The atmosphere is nice. They had many diners. I will give it another chance soon. But, today was a fail.

Wow! This may be the best kept secret in Central Florida. The goat vindaloo was the right amount of spicy, made to perfection, and seasoned perfectly. The rice was awesome, the garlic naan was superb, and the tea masala was piping hot, a perfect. Lend of milk and spices and just an added treat.
The atmosphere is personal, very warm. The food was piping hot as if it watered made for us.

This restaurant is kind of hidden next to a gas station but definitely worth a try. The food was delicious and the atmosphere and service were great. We had the shrimp masala and chicken masala with garlic naan. Excellent!

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was outstanding — rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted fresh and authentic, and you can tell great care goes into the preparation.
The service was attentive and friendly without being overwhelming, and the staff was happy to offer recommendations. The naan was soft and buttery, the curries were full of depth and flavor, and the desserts were the perfect sweet finish.
If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Indian cuisine and excellent service, this is the place to go. We will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic food, by far one of the best Indian restaurants we have been too. We had the most flavorful buttery chicken and rack of lamb. All I can say is go you will love it. Who cares if it’s next to a gas station they have way better food than 90% of these fancy places. Don’t listen to the Karen’s just go and enjoy

Even attached to the gas station this place is really fire! Highly recommend the lamb or shrimp dishes! The added plus was that Siddhesh suggested what I should get if I wanted goat!

Wow. This place is a must-stop! Wow! Server, chef, food, indoor ambiance. I was apprehensive when I saw it next to a gas station, but a friend recommended this rest. & I’m glad I tried it. We had so many items frm menu and all were a hit. When I pass through this area I will def be returning.

We are visiting from out of town, California, and were craving Indian food. The Flame in Ocala, Florida was amazing! Plus, we had the most amazing waiter, Basu who introduced us to the most amazing goat curry. Sorry Cali, you were outdone !
