"My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Flame last weekend, and it was one of the best meals of my life. We went in with high expectations, and they were exceeded. My steak was cooked perfectly, the candied bacon jalapeno mashed potatoes and lobster mac and cheese were excellent sides, and the bread was incredible. My wife had the salmon oscar, and she enjoyed it very much. My only complaint, if you want to call it that, was that we had to ask for bread. When they brought it out, it was soooo good. The popover muffins were completely different than I had tried before, and the peach white chocolate muffins were a perfect sweet ending. We knew going in that the meal would be expensive, so the check wasn't a shocker. We have had more expensive meals that didn't match the experience and culinary delight that Flame offers. It definitely isn't someplace that we can afford to visit often, but I think we have found our special dinner spot."

"This is now our go-to restaurant for weekly date nights! Without a doubt, it’s the best Mexican restaurant in the 417 area! The Chile Rellenos were the best I’ve ever tasted, and the Soppapillas with ice cream were equally amazing! Even their chips and salsa are top-notch. And let’s not forget about the Spanish rice — I’ve never had Spanish rice this delicious! The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is presented beautifully like a work of art, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The prices are very reasonable considering the portion sizes. Our total came to just $28 for two drinks, two dinners, and dessert. I happily tipped the server more than 20% because they truly deserved it!"

"This is hands down the best burger I've had in a long time! I ordered the Foodie, and wow, the combination of flavors was incredible! The patties were fantastic, and when paired with candied bacon, truffle mayo, boursin cheese, and caramelized onions, it all came together to create one outstanding burger! Even the gluten-free bun was impressive, which is quite rare! I also loved the apple and hickory smoked fries—they were delicious! All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely be coming back. I have to try a milkshake next time!"

"We have dined at this restaurant several times this year as well as last, both for lunch and dinner, and the food is simply outstanding! As a fan of Indian cuisine, I’ve tried about 10 to 15 different dishes here, and they have all been absolutely incredible. The lamb, chicken, and fish are always tender and juicy, while the Bhindi Masala is nothing short of perfection. Sometimes the naan can be slightly stale during lunch, and there may be a wait during peak hours, so I recommend visiting after 8 PM. However, this doesn’t affect my overall rating at all. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends. We usually have the same waiter, who is always welcoming with his friendly humor and engaging conversation. The entire staff is quite friendly. I do enjoy dining at Taj Mahal on Republic Road, but I honestly think Zayka is much better! Their vegetarian options are also excellent; I typically order the Bhindi Masala with extra Tikka Masala sauce. One area for improvement would be the side salad, as the greens are rather dull. Switching out the white lettuce for something more flavorful like spinach would really elevate the dish. Thank you for a fantastic experience! We will definitely return during our next visit to Springfield."

"So impressed! So I went in there for a job interview. LOL I didn’t get the job, which is fine.  I am confident whoever they hired is wonderful! It was definitely different from other job interviews. We were invited to sit in a big table as though we were welcomed guests at home, not just some random job candidates. We were offered drinks, lemonade, and smoothies several times. I was amazed how we were treated with so much kindness and respect. I also got to chat with some of employees there and they told me how much they love their jobs there and how everyone is so friendly. Just from those couple of visits and observation, it was obvious that the owner (Brian) goes above and beyond to give customers the best foods and customer service experience. And it’s a safe and loving place for anyone to work and grow personally and professionally. We need more of such place in Springfield! I never really got what all the hypes about Chick-Fil-A was until I visited this location. So blessed and highly recommend this location to all my family and friends! I’ll be taking my hungry family (my big black bear son and big blonde bear hubby) there to eat! :D"
