5 /5 Fady Jaber: 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.
