Bombay Flame is an Indian restaurant and takeaway at 74 Kingsgate Road in West Hampstead. Established in the neighbourhood in 2007, it offers evening dining, collection and delivery from a relaxed and straightforward setting. The large menu covers familiar favourites as well as house recipes, with options ranging from mild and creamy to deeply spiced and hot.
Starters include onion bhaji, samosa, chicken pakora, seekh kebab and prawns served on freshly made puree bread. The clay oven selection moves through chicken and lamb tikka, tandoori chicken, salmon, paneer, king prawns and shashlik with onion, pepper and tomato. A mixed grill brings several of these preparations together for guests who want a broad introduction.
Curries span korma, bhuna, rogan josh, madras, vindaloo, jalfrezi, karahi and balti styles. House dishes add combinations of fresh chilli, garlic, curry leaves, pistachio, tamarind or coconut, while seafood choices include salmon and king prawn. The kitchen also provides paneer, lentils, chickpeas, okra, aubergine, spinach and mixed vegetable recipes.
Biryani is cooked with basmati rice, herbs and fried onions, with a Bombay Flame version combining chicken, meat, prawns and omelette. Pilau rice, naan, roti, chapati, paratha, pickles and chutneys complete a shared order. This breadth allows diners to build anything from a simple curry and rice meal to a varied table of grills, vegetables, breads and sauces.
