“We had such a delicious meal at Flambé Karma.”
We had such a delicious meal at Flambé Karma. Everything we ordered was fantastic, but the mango habanero paneer was next-level—perfectly balanced, bold, and seriously addictive. And the kadai chicken? Easily one of the best chicken dishes I’ve ever had. So flavorful, rich, and cooked just right. A special shoutout to Sam, our kind and sweet waiter, who made the whole experience even better with such warm, attentive service. A Delicious and a standout meal from start to finish. Can’t wait to go back!

The beautifully remodeled Flambe Karma owned by some dear friends is back and better than ever! Everything from their incredible masla tea, garlic cilantro nan, to their special goat curry and xacuti chicken was absolutely amazing and so rich in wonderful flavors that any true foodie will appreciate. Oh and I can’t forget the spectacular rice pudding! I can’t wait to go back!!! And my awesome server, Sam, was truly exceptional. Best Indian food in NW IL hands down by a few thousand mile long margin. Must go to Flambe Karma, if you love Indian food and in the buffalo grove area! I guarantee a delicious meal.

“Food was really tasty.”
Food was really tasty. The butter chicken and chicken vindaloo were really good. The naan was also great. I wish it was less dim in the restaurant.
