Don't order delivery via yelp here. I placed an order and it took an hour for them to then send me a msg saying they "can't currently deliver" so I just got in the car and drove down there to pick it up to find out they haven't even started the order and proceeded to take another 40 minutes to prepare. Bullshit. My grilled chicken (sorry chicken Shwarma) could have been made by myself In less time at home. For fifty bucks, ill never eat here again, which is a shame because initially I was excited to try this when I first ordered. **update** I just found out that eat24 did try to contact us sooner but I sid not realize my husband's phone was dead. That said I will amend from one star to three as the good was fairly good, but it still took almost 40 minutes to prepare the order once I went ro pick it up. read more

Flaming Kabob has delicious food! We usually get the chicken kabob plate and shish kabob(beef tenderloin)plate. Tasty food and a great amount! Owner is nice. Place is clean. Highly recommend Flaming Kabob! read more

I went to Flaming Kabob some time ago. Food was good, but it took FOREVER get food after ordering. They didn't bring tea right away. I thought I would give them another try and went at lunchtime. One couple was in restaurant when we arrived. My mother and I ordered immediately a gyro and a chicken sharama sandwich for take out. Another man came in after with a child and ordered fries for the child and a sandwich for himself. After about 10 minutes, the other couple was served sandwiches, the fries were served to child. Then later sandwich served to man. Another couple came in, ordered and were served sandwiches. The waitress told us just a couple minutes more. The second couple ate their lunch and had to find waitress to get check. They asked if we were waiting for check too. I told them we had not been served yet. They were surprised that we had been waiting so long. The waitress at once brought out our order. When we got home it was not even warm. Love Mediterranean food and this was good but not worth the wait. read more

I have been to both locations now, and the falafel is excellent at both. I'm not a meat eater, but my boyfriend likes the shwarma, too. I LOVE the rice!!! The owner is very friendly and always up for political banter. All in all, a good spot. Its not Haji Baba, but it's still pretty good. The Mesa location is a little retro diner which doesn't quite fit the food they're serving read more

From the Greek salad to the Shish kabob they have excellent food and the pricing I am at this place at least 3 days a week for lunch read more

Great quality food. Very clean and excellent customer service. The food flavors is authentic and delicious. The owner is such a great man and is very hospitable. Healthy delicious foods are prepared here. I recommend highly. read more

Today I went to Flaming Kabob in Mesa. Upon entering my mother and I were immediately greeted. The owner Khalil and his grandson was so amazing and it was literally the best customer service I've experience in a long time. Not only does this restaurant have a 50's 60's vibe the food was amazing. My favorite was the Tabbouli. read more

I really wanted to like this place! I love middle eastern food and have been looking for a go-to place in the area. The workers and owners were really nice, patient, and very helpful. However, the food was just not good. And on top of it, everything was expensive. Too expensive for sub-par food, won't be back. read more

Well amazing, flavorful, fresh all things that come to mind after my meal here. it's an old 50s diner and the food was off the hook. definitely recommend. the hummus was great, I had the stuffed Lamb and we'll damn it was good. mix platter was great and the gyro platter was awesome. Great job flaming kabob. read more

The food and the customer service were great! We were looking for dinner a little late and came across this place as it is super close to our house and we love supporting local businesses. We are SO glad we found this place! The customer service is amazing as is the food! We had a feast of schwarma and gyros and we were left satisfied and full! We will definitely be returning! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. We love their food so much that we chose them for a food order for a big birthday bash I had this past September. The manager was very friendly and worked with me on getting the best choices and value for the expected number of people. I would highly recommend them for catering order. It was easy, on time, and of the same level of quality you get when you dine-in. read more

Best Arabic/Middle Eastern food in the valley!!! The portions are also HUGE and price very fair. Everything is great, and I am picky so that says something about this place. The atmosphere is VERY casual, used to be a 5 and diner - obviously. The service is great. Even if it weren't, I wouldn't care because the food is great ;) read more

The owner and his family are wonderful people. They make you feel at home and strive to please the customer. We have eaten here many times and are always pleased. You can't beat the price for the dinner for 2 combo meal. The chicken and rice soup is really good and my daughter LOVES it. I love the baba ganoush at Flaming Kabob the most! The fattoush salad is fantastic! read more

I was in Gilbert and felt like kabobs. The last thing I wanted to do was cook tonight. I haven't been to the Flaming Kabob in a while. However, I'm so glad I stopped in the food is great! I ordered the beef kabobs they were great and the rice was outstanding. If your in Gilbert you have to try Flaming Kabob, you won't be disappointed! read more

Flaming Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I love "Mediterranean" food and thought I'd try this place. I was craving lentil soup...so let me be brief. Worst lentil soup I've ever put in my mouth. No flavor. It had been simmered to the point of mush. Just a bowl of mush. If I want a bowl of mush I'll read "Goodnight Moon". GAWD. I ordered chicken shwarma. What a joke. Dry flavorless grilled chicken on a stale pita garnished with one piece of pathetic lettuce and a slice of onion. Garlic sauce (sorry, forget the name) was very strong. After eating it I just tasted garlic. Terrible service. The old diner turned greek is lame. Save your dollars, dignity, and time by avoiding this place. read more

The food really is delicious and pretty high quality ingredients. I've had the chicken shwarma, gyro plate, steak with garlic and cilantro, chicken Gallaya. They are all very good and portions are sizeable. The tabouleh is very fresh and always consistently good. I love the hummus...not too tangy and more beany, which is what I like. The rice is good but too many raisins at times. Half the time they do not have any meat grape leaves prepared or have run out by the time I got there. (i usually go there craving and ready to order the grape leaves) Besides that and the fact that I believe they are little over-priced....I will keep coming back and recommending others. read more

Always great food. I love the lemon rice chicken soup. The service is always so nice and fast.

Fantastic Mediterranean food, great service, the owner & staff make you feel like family! This is a regular stop for us so we can get a taste of home. We have yet to see a better or homier place for the food, culture, atmosphere. The rice is a must have. read more

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! Service: excellent, friendly, attentive - the server was energetic, answered all of our questions, refilled our drinks and the sauces Food: my tastebuds couldn't stop thanking me for coming here - the different sauces were AMAZING, humus was good, salad had a little too much olive oil but still refreshing, the rice was so super I asked for more - we ordered the meal for two and it was more than the two of us could handle (and I can EAT) - the mixed plate had everything and we loved it all! - they didn't have the rice pudding I wanted for dessert, but the baklava was divine Price: - very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, the lunch specials look like a bargain I absolutely recommend this place and will go back for more! read more

If you're looking for wonderful Mediterranean food, this is the perfect place to stop. I've lived in the area my whole life and can remember the Diner that was there first (so to the person that commented on their look, that's what it's from). My best friend and I consider this our place. When we meet for a meal, it's usually there. The staff is very friendly and know us as soon as we walk in. The service is quick and we have never had a problem with the taste/temperature/size/ect. of the food. Favorite menu items: Hummus (two girls splitting the large is usually our way to go). Chicken Lemon Rice Soup (I stock up when I'm sick). Chicken Shawarma (one of the best places I've had it in the state). I urge you to try the food if it's your type of restaurant, and if it's not, I recommend it anyway to step outside your comfort zone. read more

The food has definitely gone down in the past year, very little flavor. There was no lamb but the menus still reflected many lamb dishes. It was very disappointing after our last visit when everything was great. read more

I've gotten food from this place through DoorDash, and have I've gotten food to go, and the food has always been amazing. One of my favorite restaurants. read more

The food is amazing. I recommend trying their Greek salad, like no other I've ever tasted, it is the best! My husband got the gyro which was beyond juicy and delicious. We also got the combo for two and we were not disappointed! Soooo much food and flavor. Their hommous is the best I've ever had, and their rice is out of this world. My favorite was the shish kabob, but our daughter loved the chicken kabob. 10/10 would go again. Not to mention the service was top notch. The owner himself greets you and checks in throughout your meal. Hands down our new favorite middle eastern restaurant! Oh and they also remodeled apparently! Everything is brand new from the floors to the walls and decor. All tables (i was told it was all booths before) and chairs and brand new paint job as well. Love the music they have playing in the background as well! read more

They always have quality food and wonderful service. Absolutely recommend, great prices also. Try a vegetable drink they juice here. So Good. read more

IF THE DELIVERY APP ON YELP DOESN'T WORK, JUST CALL THE RESTAURANT!!!! Another fast and delicious delivery received! We love the combo for 2 which gives you everything you need for a terrific dinner for two and plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. In addition, i ordered the garlic chicken too from treasing other yelp reviews and it was amazing with lemony garlic sauce that was delicious on the sweet raisins in the rice! Great family restaurant and the family is wonderful and dedicated to fresh quality foods. Out of literally hundreds of orders of catering or personal orders, we have never had a bad meal. You can't beat the price and quality for catering your next family or work event. Favorites include gyro mear, chicken kabobs, salads, and the hummus if the best in the state!!! read more

60's themed diner turned meditteranean spot. The seats are bright yellow and red and you can still see the diner decor come out in places but now there's additional Mediterranean themed decor too. Interesting combo. Great homecooked style dishes that will bring you back for more. Plus the server is so sweet! She's always there when I go and so friendly. I usually order my go to pita bread, hummus, tahini, and falafel. My favorites! This place has some of my favorite fafafel. Crispy, crunchy, but not drowning in oil. They give you a ton of food, very family style, so I always have leftovers and they're like pizza, somehow even better the next day! I've tried their falafel gyro with veggies too and it was pretty good. Have tried to order pita and hummus as an appetizer so many times and finally realizing that it is a meal all in itself. Recommend for comfort food, warm pita is good for a chilly evening but the vegan fares are pretty light so it still tastes good in the summer because not going to sit in your stomach and weigh you down. Classic Mediterranean fare and family friendly atmosphere. read more

Flaming Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

A well established and some what peculiar setting for a middle eastern restaurant (previously a five and diner). Food is well made and fresh, the servings are large, the combo for two actually feeds 4. The staff appear to be mostly related which adds to the overall customer service. I strongly recommend trying any of the meals here, ordering take out does not diminish the quality or portions. read more

This is by far the best Mediterranean food in the area. Great service, great food, and a great price. I have been a returning customer for months and will keep coming back. read more

We love eating at the Flaming Kabob, so when our daughter recently got married, she wanted them to do the catering........it was a HUGE HIT!!!! Her big wedding in May had to be rescheduled because of COVID, so we had a small backyard wedding instead for 30 people and had the Flaming Kabob cater that one, then they also catered the big rescheduled one for 175 people that we just had on Sept 19th. Khalil (owner) and his staff were so friendly, on time, very professional and made sure the food was perfect in every way for us! And just as he assured us there would be, there was plenty of food leftover. We would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone we talk to read more

Good: The gyros are really good! Ever since moving here from California I've been attempting to find a place to replace Farmer Boys for my gyro fix. This place measures quite high in that regard. I usually get two of them just for myself because they are that good. The waitresses are really nice and friendly, and the waiters can be quite comical at times. I've met the owner before and he was a really cool guy. Bad: The look of the store can use improvement. I'm fairly certain that this location used to be a Five & Dinner, and it is virtually unchanged. They've added an awesome assortment of hookahs and a big camel sculpture inside, but it doesn't do much to improve the atmosphere unfortunately. Other Thoughts: I don't typically order anything other than the gyros, so I can't really comment much on the other foods. My girlfriend says the kabob skewers are hit or miss depending on who is preparing them. read more

We were here the first time ... Incredible food and lots of it .. We enjoyed it and I think we are going to have left overs would last another five meals read more

Flaming Kabob - OMG... Incredible - Mediterranean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

See all

An hour and a half after ordering, we are still waiting for our food. Called 20 mins ago and they knew exactly what I was waiting for, meaning they couldn't possible be that busy. Disappointing for first timers. EDIT: After finally receiving our food, I can say that we weren't disappointed with the food at all!! We ordered the Combo for Two and holy mackerel was it a ton of food! We have enough for lunch and dinner! The grape leaves could have used more flavor. Still only 3 stars just for the simple fact that we were not allotted any time to actually enjoy our food before we were off to work. Would definitely order from here again and give it another chance! read more

Food good. Soda/water warm (you gotta add ice) Restaurant dirty (you gotta clean the place...if the bathroom is dirty, I don't even what to know what the kitchen looks like) Clean the place and it might be a 3 to a 4. read more

Let me start by saying this restaurant is amazingly clean. Although I have not had the privilege of dining in, I know that it would not be dirty because Uncle Khalil dont play that...lol...then there is the delicious food. The flavors of the dishes is great! We recently moved here and have had other middle eastern food but Flaming Kabob far outweighs in flavor friendliness freshness and location. This is the only place we will dine for middle eastern food. We have had the rice, hummus, the dinner for 2, the Greek salad, nothing was disappointing. We can eat from here everyday... read more

Would give these folks zero stars if I could. Chicken was over cooked and the owner came out and literally had a go at me telling me he knows how chicken should be and that I have no idea. Whilst Im not a chef, I know good chicken when I see it. He went off in a huff and replaced the chicken which came out late. Then he said he will try change it next time. Guess what - there will be no next time. Not with that attitude and service. Very poor. These kinds of people only exist because they have no competition read more

I eat here as much as I can. Recently, I have been dealt some health issues. I clearly earn them and had to make some serious decisions in how I eat in order to remain healthy and around to see my children grow up. I feared all my favorite places to eat were going to he a thing of the past...I was wrong, not only was I wrong. I was pleased to know that while changing to be a vegan I was still able to go to one of my favorite places to eat. Flaming Kabob was not only staying in my eating rotation. I was pleased to know that so many dishes were still on the menu for me to eat healthy. I didn't know there were that many vegan options in mediterainan food. But now I do and have been taking food to go on those lazy days I am not on the road with work. Thank you Flaming Kabob and I promise you won't be disappointed especially if you are eating healthy!! read more

With everything going on in the world you take a second and think of all the things you take for granted and things you are thankful for. This place is on that thankful list, it has been open for business this entire time for carry out and we could not be more happy. The food is always fresh, the portions are always almost to much and the service is always 5 star. from the friendly smiles through the kitchen window from the kitchen staff to the Owner always greeting us with a smile and always asking about our family. It has become a staple in our lives, so much so that you would be doing yourself an injustice if you do not make the trip and try it. read more

The food was excellent and the service cant be beat. The owner was kind and professional. He gave us free soda and even set our table. Again the food wad crazy good and i intend to go back and get my grub on again soon. HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem read more

The food is amazing ! The chicken is always very juicy and tender ! IDE definitely recommend this place to anyone !

This is one of my favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurants. They have great food and great prices. Lunch specials are awesome and delicious. Authentic Greek food at great prices. Must try their rice. A big portion for $3.99. Why the four stars- im a clean freak and the bathrooms are always gross. I carry a hand sanitizer with me and alway use the bathroom before I go into flaming kabob. The tables are a little sticky and in the summer they keep the place pretty toasty. Still keeping going back because food is delicious. They have an A rating from health department so I know they keep the kitchen clean and in the end, that's all that matters. read more
