Some destinations are discovered by accident. Others are sought out by those who know exactly what they're looking for.
Tucked away on the Vandalur–Kelambakkam Road, Flames & Grills has quietly become a destination for non-vegetarian food lovers seeking something beyond the ordinary.
Our story begins centuries ago on the ancient Spice Route. When Portuguese traders arrived on India's west coast in search of pepper, cloves, and other prized spices, they brought with them culinary traditions that would forever influence the food of Goa and coastal India. The iconic Vindaloo evolved from the Portuguese Vinha d'Alhos, while the fiery Peri-Peri chilli travelled across continents through Portuguese trade networks before becoming synonymous with flame-grilled food around the world.
These journeys of spice, flavour, and fire continue to inspire our kitchen today.
At the heart of Flames & Grills is one of Chennai's most extensive selections of pork dishes, featuring more than 20 unique preparations inspired by Goan, regional Indian, Chinese, Pan-Asian, and barbecue traditions. From slow-cooked classics and fiery stir-fries to smoky grilled favourites, every dish reflects a different chapter in the story of pork.
But Flames & Grills is far more than a destination for pork lovers.
The same spirit of culinary exploration extends across our chicken and mutton offerings, with many of the same regional, Asian, and barbecue-inspired flavours available throughout the menu. Add to that our biryanis, grills, kebabs, and chef-crafted specialties, and you'll discover a restaurant built for everyone who appreciates exceptional non-vegetarian food.
Whether you arrive in search of an authentic Pork Vindaloo, a smoky Peri-Peri grill, a comforting biryani, a bold Asian stir-fry, or a perfectly cooked chicken or mutton specialty, you'll find flavours worth travelling for.
Because some places serve food.
Others become destinations.
