Top-Rated Indian Food in Metro Atlanta: Bombay Flames Review

I finally made it to Bombay Flames Indian Restaurant, and let me tell you, the hype is 100% real! Ever since I moved back to the Metro-Atlanta area, everyone has been telling me I had to check out this culinary gem. Today was finally the day!

My friends were actually craving Crafted Burgers by Shane (which happens to be right next door), but my soul was screaming for authentic flavor-packed Indian cuisine. From the moment I walked through the doors of Bombay Flames, the hospitality was unmatched. I was greeted with the most pleasant welcome. Because the Georgia weather was absolutely perfect today. It was complete with a gorgeous blue sky and a cool breeze. I just had to grab a seat on their beautiful outdoor patio.

When it comes to exploring the Alpharetta dining scene, I love stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new dishes. While I usually default to traditional samosas, the Mixed Vegetable Pakoras immediately caught my eye. These golden, crispy spinach, onion, and potato fritters were seasoned to absolute perfection. Consider the bar officially raised for Indian appetizers in North Fulton. I’ll definitely save the samosas for my next visit, because those pakoras are a tough act to follow.

I went looking for my absolute favorite comfort food: Chana Masala. At Bombay Flames, they list it on the menu as Chole (also known as Chana Masala). No matter what name you use, it features those same incredible, delicious ingredients: tender chickpeas simmered to perfection in traditional North Indian spices, aromatic onions, and juicy tomatoes. And you know there was absolutely no way I was overlooking a side of fresh Garlic Naan.

Now, if you know me, you know that food presentation is key to winning my heart. Bombay Flames completely exceeded my expectations! Not only was the plating stunning, but the portion sizes were incredibly generous.

I made sure to ask for boxes because there was no way I could finish all of this incredible food. Lunch next week is gonna rock!

Everything arrived at the table piping hot, ultra-fresh, and bursting with authentic flavor. I asked the kitchen to crank up the heat to a Level 3 Spicy for the Chole they delivered the perfect kick!

But the real standout superstar was The Garlic Naan. It was buttery, moist, pillowy-soft, and packed with flavor. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants where the naan turns out dry and brittle, but Bombay Flames nailed the texture flawlessly.

Overall, I had a spectacular, five-star dining experience. If you are looking for the absolute best Indian restaurant in Alpharetta, GA for date night, patio dining, or an incredible lunch, this is your sign to go. I cannot wait to return and eat my way through the rest of the menu!
