ciao! reviews
offering both familiar and unexpected dishes that invite newbies and aficionados on an exciting dining adventure. While classics like butter chicken and tikka masala are staples on the menu, a variety of lesser-known dishes will surprise and delight diners.
Appetizers, like the lemon mustard prawns, subtly highlight the influence of a common pantry spice, by adding a delicate bitter bite of mustard seeds to tangy lemon dressing. While samosas and pakoras are popular choices, papri chat— a savoury, tangy dish combining crisp wafers with chickpeas, yogurt, and tamarind chutney shouldn’ t be missed.
The focus on tandoori is particularly noteworthy, appearing in a variety of dishes that showcase the versatility of this ancient cooking method. Tandoori chicken, served as a hearty entrée, is marinated in aromatic spices and roasted to smoky perfection. Tandoori salmon salad, offering a lighter option, features pieces of oven baked salmon paired with fresh greens, for a satisfying lunch for one.
Lamb curry, simmered in spiced tomato gravy is divine. The dish’ s intoxicating aroma whets the appetite for the tender morsels of meat affirming its rightful status as a crowd favourite. The signature dish demonstrates the restaurant’ s deftness in satisfying cravings as much as excite those looking to venture beyond the“ usual suspects”.
Whether your feast ends with famous gulab jamun or novel gajrela, a sweet memory of a memorable meal is assured. Shahi Flames offers a refined yet accessible exploration of Indian cuisine that has earned its place as a must-visit spot in Winnipeg’ s South Asian dining scene.

It’ s patio time!
