Flames

Flames Tandoori on West Main Street covers more ground than most Whitburn takeaways, combining an Indian tandoori kitchen with pizzas, calzones, kebabs, burgers, and a full European fast-food selection under one roof. The tandoori side is the more distinctive half: chicken tikka, lamb seekh, mixed grills, and karahi dishes cooked in a proper tandoor sit alongside a korma and balti selection that covers the full heat spectrum from mild to fiery. Set meals offer good value for two or more people sharing, and the pizza and calzone range has attracted consistent praise from the 970-plus customers who have reviewed the kitchen across various platforms. An 89% recent-review approval score on Scoffable reflects a kitchen that handles its multi-genre menu with reasonable consistency. Chef's specialities on the Indian side — including various karahi preparations — are worth exploring beyond the standard order.
