Chicken shawarma platter is the BEST in the city! They definitely use spices when cooking. And their garlic sauce is the best! The lamb and beef are delicious as well. If I could eat here everyday I would! You will not be disappointed at all! Yummy! read more

Flames Mediterranean & grill - Chicken Shawarma platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Stopped here on accident but was pleasantly surprised with the food. We had the lamb and beef shawarma wrap, chicken shawarma platter and the chicken quesadilla. All freshly made and great flavors, don't forget the garlic sauce (it's a must!)! The service was ok, I got a bit frustrated they made the order to go when we wanted to eat in. The lady at the counter didn't understand the menu enough to answer questions without pointing to a photo. The bathrooms need to be cleaned. Still, I'd eat here again, just take it to go. read more

All imma say is try it for yourself I love this place Mediterranean food is heavily slept on Everything I had was good The mixed grill was very very tasty and flavorful The young lady at the counter was very pleasant and helpful excellent service if you ask me read more

This was the worst ever!! I placed an order over the phone. I arrived 20 minutes later and still had to wait 45 minutes. Everything was over cooked. And cold. And not what I originally ordered. I payed $54 and some change for this meal. I also so several people picking up offers so I guess they make sure to push the delivery orders out. No apology. The cashier also held my order in her hand while she had a personal conversation with the staff after I complained about the wait. read more

Flames Mediterranean & grill - PHILLY CHEESE STEAK - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I placed an order through ubereats for lunch so I am unable to give a review on the service and ambiance. This is the chicken Shawarma platter. So, I'm from the North but born in the Caribbean so for me flavor and spice is everything me. Also, I am a big fan of Pakistani, Indian, Thai and other ethnic food so a lot of the ethnic food has been a little underwhelming for me and my palate. Portion size- this was for lunch so good Chicken Shawarma- decent- if I placed a future order - I definitely would order from here. Their flames spicy sauce- was good but not spicy (I have a high tolerance for heat so take this opinion with a grain of salt. Would I order from here again? Yes, I would like to try some of their high rated items on the menu read more

I forgot to take a pic before diving in, but this is a great local spot! I ordered the chicken shawarma platter and my spouse got the gyro platter to go. Portions were large, food was well seasoned, and service was great! The rice did have an Indian curry flare, which I didn't expect - but it was delicious! It's a cute little local vibe! read more

Ordered a couple of gyro platters from here and they are definitely not worth the price. Between the portion size and the quality and quantity of what you're getting for almost $20 is ridiculous. The salad was wilted and there was a tablespoon of it. There were 4 slices of meat atop a decent portion of rice. I didn't realize I was paying so much for mainly rice. I'll keep it in mind for the future. The meat was dry, the salad was not good and the rice was okay, which is why I gave it 2 stars. At this point, I'm convinced that there are no actual good Mediterranean or Greek places in Memphis to eat, after having tried quite a few of them at this point. Overall, not really satisfied with my order and bummed that I ended up ordering this instead of something else after a long day. read more

I went to flames during lunch and it did not disappoint. It's a quaint, neighborhood restaurant that sits near the corner of Southern and Highland. I went around 11. It wasn't busy. I ordered a chicken and rice meal. It came out in about 20 minutes. It was SO good, especially the rice. I should have taken a picture but I ate it too fast! There is not much seating but I liked that you could see outside and that the parking was decent. I will be back for that Salmon and that lamb! read more

Flamesssss man where to start, food is amazing and the workers are very polite. I spoke with the owner of the restaurant and he greeted me very well, gave me free drink, fries and a dessert i recommend this spot to anyone wanting to try something new read more

For context, this review is for their DoorDash delivery, not for in restaurant. That being said, I doubt if I would ever visit the restaurant given what I received via DoorDash. I ordered two Gyros with two canned sodas, and a Greek salad. The good news is the Greek salad wasn't that bad. It was actually huge and almost had too much cucumber and tomatoes and not enough lettuce. But I could tell based on the wilt in the lettuce, that this stuff was about a day old. It was probably sitting in some fridge, prepared specifically for to go and delivery. The worst offense though was the meat in the gyros. Both sandwiches had dry meat that was so dry it actually was curled up around the edges. I immediately tossed it without even trying it. I can see how easy it is for some establishments to use their delivery and DoorDash customers to dump old product, but that can come back to bite you in the a$$.... read more

Ok, so there was just one guy here working and I admire the hustle. He was up front and let us know he did not have fries or falafel. The fountain drink machine was out of order. We were the only ones dining in the seat yourself restaurant. There were 4-5 other people who came in for to-go orders. The rice and salad were flavored well but the meat was just ok. Needed some hummus and falafel. read more

The food was pretty good. We got the lamb and beef kofta and the chicken kofta. The garlic sauce was really good. I placed my order over the phone so I can't really judge the customer service. The lady that took my order was nice on the phone and polite. I want to try more options and to eat in to see how it goes. read more

Wow! This was actually an incredible experience. I enjoyed this meal HEAVILY. With a capital H. Thank you so much for your incredible service. Guys, trust me on this one. Get the baklava, you won't regret.... Also: to the girl who was complaining in the shop about "old lettuce". You are a haggard little piece of ****. That lettuce was THE FRESHEST lettuce i've ever consumed. Anyone giving bad reviews to this place is a damn liar read more

The food is always great at Flames. One of our favorite places to get a quick bite for lunch

The food is so fresh and tasty! The gyro is one of the best we ever tasted! And the gentleman that helped us with the order was very friendly and generous. The place is a little small but the food and service definitely made up for it! read more

I've ordered there before, but it seems like each time I order it gets worse. Today I ordered the gyro meat with the rice. The meat was so dried out and burned it was definitely not cooked fresh. It was hard as a rock. The pita that comes with it was rockhard which means it was old and stale.. There is no excuse for this. When they were putting that meat in there is no way they didn't see how burned and hard it was. I will not be ordering from them again because it just seem to get worse each time. There is no telephone number to call them that I can find so they don't have to get any feedback about how horrible their food was. read more

The food was hot, fresh, and seasoned! Ken had great service and the cook wore gloves, what a great experience. To top it all off the food was good. I just ordered a cheeseburger but it did not disappoint chargrilled cheeseburger with FLAVOR. I didnt get a chance to take a picture of the plate before I devoured it. read more

Where do I start!! Get in here right now!! Let's just start with all the fresh herbs, the aroma it's self is mouth watering!! What you smell is what you taste!! The lamb chops are cooked medium to perfection melt in your mouth and don't forget to suck that bone!! The lamb shanks fall right off the bone and you will throw the fork to use your fingers!! I mean finger licking delicious!! Now the rice it full of flavor, fluffy texture and pure authentic!! This is NOT Uncle Ben but Mediterranean at it's finest!! You get a little greek salad I mean little but you will make sure you've eating ever little piece of cucumber with that from scratch salad dressing!! Do not sleep on this place because it's not your candlelight fine dining style but what's coming out the KITCHEN its FINE DINING 5 STAR CUISINE. The ambiance is kid friendly and casual dining. I drive 45mins for this spot!! Thank me later!!! read more

Best shawarma in Memphis! The service was great too. Staff are friendly and everything came out fast

This place used to be very solid up until recently (maybe a year). I have lived near the establishment and visited for nearly 8 years. The staff has changed recently and the quality has tanked within the last year. The gyro burger used to be one of the better hidden gems in the area but its quality change was the first flag. My most recent visit was definitely my last. I ordered essentially a deconstructed gyro that is labeled as a platter lol. Even the presentation changed over the years for Togo orders. The picture gives this item way more justice than it deserved. read more

Very kind people who take pride in their work and providing quality food and service. Will return!

I had the gyro platter. It came with lamb beef meat mixture, rice, half a pita, a small salad and Taziki sauce. Overall the meal was a 6/10. The meat was salty and a little dry. The rice was bland. If there were more pita to make a traditional gyro sandwich the saltiness of the meat might not have been as noticeable. Since the pita wasn't heated from the meat it was kind of hard. I liked the taziki and salad. I have had better gyro in Memphis so if I go back I probably will order something other than the gyro platter. read more

I love Flames! I have only ever had the Greek salad, sometimes with chicken, sometimes with lamb. It is always so fresh tasting and the meat has the crispy outside that is just delicious. It's funny because EVERY time I get it (probably 15 times now) it's always prepared a little differently- slightly different ingredients, proportions, etc. but I have never been disappointed by the food! This time I have to lower the rating because the person who took my money (who was also preparing the food) was not wearing a mask. I can't imagine that this is allowed under the current Shelby County guidelines. I'm writing this primarily to make sure the owners know, because I love this place and don't want them to get shut down! read more

Ordered the appetizer sampler and chicken shawarma wrap for delivery. It was all just very meh. The chicken shawarma was underwhelming and didn't have much flavor. On the sampler, the falafel and hummus were great. The dolmades were okay, just felt welt. The baba ganoush was the absolute worst - it tasted like somebody mixed in an ashtray and the consistency was really off. read more

This was my first time trying Flames, it was what I wanted for my birthday dinner and when I say I was NOT disappointed, OMG it was delicious. I usually frequent another Mediterranean restaurant, I think this is my new favorite. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the Chicken Shawarma Platter, the chicken was so flavorful even the rice was flavorful and moist. The star of the show was the Garlic Sauce, I could really eat that by itself. They have a lifelong customer now. I highly recommend them. I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture read more

My experience here was rather pleasant. I always ask the person serving me what they recommend/ what are their favorites on the menu. The lady suggested the chicken shawarma wrap and I agreed. The meat of this wrap was so flavorful and well wrapped. Nothing fell out of it as I took gleeful bites. It was stuffed with fries, pickles, chicken, and other veggies. I completed the meal with a side of fries that were seasoned so well! I enjoyed this meal! Everything is cooked to order for freshness so it only took about 10/15mins. read more

I LOVE FLAMES! Haven't gotten anything I dislike yet. I love their Veggie Wrap with a small Greek Salad and rice. The servers are always polite and patient, food takes some time to receive thought. I don't mind the wait here though because there's enough tables to sit down and relax. read more

Falafel was amazing! Ask for extra sauces and the owner will give you all kinds of yummy dips and sauces! The garlic sauce was amazing. The spicy sauce is called "shuta" [pronounced like foot but with an sh and an "uh" at the end]. It's all so delicious. The veggie wrap is one of my favorites. The wings are really good! Their French fries are *chefs kiss*! I really love this place and eat here as often as I can when I'm in Memphis! read more

I have been to flames on a few occasions it is sometimes a hit or miss depending on who's cooking your food. Their falafels are extremely salty. It tastes like pure sea water. It is located near the university of Memphis. read more

The atmosphere is very casual kind of just tables and chairs. Counter service and they do grub hub The normal counter staff not there when we got there and the person (was the cook) taking orders obviously did not do it much. Took a long time. When the other person came much smoother. Need to cross train staff. Food very good and large serving. As mentioned not fast food. Takes at least 15 min because cooked to order but worth waiting for. Some people had called in or ordered on line and picked up. Owner on site and did inquire about food. The chick and rice very good as was gyro wrap. Thank you for not having tv on. Music was enough Minimal parking. We parked next door. Highly recommend anxious to try other dishes read more

Ordered takeout here today - took them 40 minutes - order wasn't ready. When I went to pick it up NOBODY that worked here was wearing masks I was SHOCKED and disgusted. When my husband said something to the man working behind the counter about no longer wanting the food and wanting his money back (the food wasn't even ready) the guy was rude and dismissive and started saying things like "stay Six feet back sir" (he was more than 6 feet away). Seems like this business is more interested in using COVID precautions as a defense against their customers than an actual defense against the virus. While I wasn't able to try their food, I am glad I didn't, seeing as their hygiene practices during the pandemic are at best questionable. read more

The photo shows what they used to serve when they first opened. Its since become an over priced ripoff making crap wraps. Atrocious! Avoid at all cost and dont give them another penny! It was sold to some kid a year into opening and he has RUINED the one true arabian food location for the sake of profit. Greed will ruin you brother and your wraps are not worth 5 dollars, let alone the 12.99 you steal from people. You should be ashamed. read more

If I had the option, I would give this place zero stars. If you've paid for an order and then come to pick it up, she will outright deny you the order you've paid for. Fortunately, I was able to cancel my order. The woman at the front counter, who handles orders, needs a reality check. She seems to think that people are incapable of making mistakes. This woman, who seems quite young and behaves entitled, refused to give me the order I had already paid for because of my ordering mistake. I admit that I made a mistake in ordering from here, and unfortunately, I only realized the extent of my mistake when I arrived. I don't want anyone else to go through the same error in judgment that I did by ordering from here. I wholeheartedly recommend trying Cedars Restaurant instead. Not only will you receive excellent value for your money, but you'll also enjoy far superior service. Thank you for taking the time to read this! read more

I ordered off GrubHub after a long day of traveling about $70 worth of food. Got only about half my order delivered to me an hour later. When I called GrubHub they pretty much said oh well we will reimburse. And when I called the restaurant they ended up hanging up on me when I questioned what happened, I wanted to know if the restaurant didn't make the food or if the delivery driver kept the food. And I got hung up on. What in the world? No sorry. Horrible customer experience. read more

I ordered the appetizer sample plate and the gyros platter from Uber Eats, so I cannot attest to the restaurant itself. Everything was tasty although a few things were weird to me - both the hummus and the baba ganoush were creamy but bland. There was no pita to dip with it either! I also thought the gyro platter would basically be meat with a side of rice. Instead, it was a full gyro with a HUGE pile of rice. Comparatively priced to other Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I'd eat here again, but I think I'll keep trying other restaurants before I do that. read more
