A fast-casual Indian takeaway operating at Consilium Place in Scarborough's Morningside corridor, Flames Gourmet pitches itself as a gourmet upgrade on the quick-service Indian format a menu of 30-plus dishes spanning curries, rice Tandoori preparations. The clearest differentiator on the menu is the Chicken Dum Biryani, prepared in the Kolkata style, meaning the rice is layered with potato, egg whole chicken pieces, then sealed and slow-cooked with saffron and ghee, a format that sets it apart from the Hyderabadi versions more common across the city. Consilium Place draws a dense lunchtime office crowd alongside Scarborough's broad South Asian residential base the fast-casual format, gourmet-quality sourcing a la carte depth position Flames as a working-day option rather than a weekend-banquet destination. The Kolkata-style Dum Biryani is the dish to order, a regionally specific preparation rarely foregrounded this explicitly at Indian takeaway counters in this part of the city.
