Incredible service and food!!! We love coming here. The food is so fresh and wholesome, the staff are vibrant and kind. Everything came out promptly and didn’t feel heavy after eating more than we needed to!! Definitely the best Indian in Coolum!!

We have to give Tandoori Flames a five star rating in all 3 categories as the experience was authentic Indian, right down to the delightful accents & friendliness of the staff. Whilst we were not in a five star restaurant per se, we had a five star experience. We have been to India 4 times, but the flavours of Tandoori Flames dishes matched & bettered our food experiences over there. So, if you are looking for delicious, flavoursome Indian food, I don’t think you’ll find better on the Sunshine Coast. And by the way, the $15 lunch special is far and away better than anything you’ll get at McDonalds, Burger King or Kentucky Fried. So if you’re hungry and want a delicious quick meal at great value - go to Tandoori Flames restaurant, Birtwill St, Coolum Beach where there is plenty of parking .

The chicken palak makhani is the best I have ever had. It is better than butter chicken and I have searched the whole of Brisbane and sunny coast and never found better. Best ever!

Had the madras curry with rice yesterday and it was delicious! The curry was so flavorful and went perfectly with the rice. Only downside, I asked for spicy but couldn’t really taste the heat. Still a really good meal overall!

Greg Hunt

Food was excellent. I think they get a little too busy at times, so be patient. It's worth the wait. Highly recommended for eating in or take away.

Great value and excellent service, we really enjoyed the Goat Hariyala curry the starters, Onion Pakora and Tandoori Chicken Tikka we found a little average.

Helen Roberts

Wow so delicious, we have been traveling up the East Coast to Cooktown from the south and are on our way back down visiting as many Indian restaurants as possible. We would rate this as the best so far. The chefs are amazing Lady’s and front of house is very welcoming and lovely. We highly recommend.
