Cute, small Mediterranean spot with a cozy vibe. The entire staff was extremely friendly. They serve beer and wine only. The food was excellent -- both the chicken and lamb were incredibly tender and packed with flavor. We started with the baked hummus, a unique and delicious twist on the classic, served with fresh homemade naan. If you're in the area and craving Turkish/Mediterranean food, definitely worth a visit! read more

Amazing food, amazing service ! We sat outside on a lovely cool night, and it was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend.

We were glad to see Turkish Flame was able to open again after the hurricanes as not all of our family had a chance to try it before the storms came through. We intentionally tried different dishes across our family so we could give different things a try. We didn't find ourselves disappointed. We started with the Stuffed Grape Leaves, Oven Bakes Hummus with Soudjouk, and the Homemade Cheese Pie. All three of these appetizers were delicious and easy for our group to enjoy. For dinner my husband went with the Traditional Lamb Adana Kebab. The dish had great flavor and was cooked well. He liked the mix used for the rice pilaf over just plain rice. I went with the Doner Kebab (traditional Turkish Gyro). I'm a fan of the thinly sliced meat when it has a great sear/crispness to the pieces and this was done well here. The portion was generous and I had no problems sharing with my husband. My youngest went with the Lamb Casserole. The presentation of the dish is unique with a thin layer of dough baked on the top of this clay pot - essentially keeping in the heat and helping the meat in the dish stay tender. The clay pot also kept the temp of the dish really hot so be patient and let it cool a bit before you dig in! My oldest tried Iskender Kebab. While it was the same beef/lamb meat combo as my dish, the tomato sauce was a nice option for something different with the taste along with the yogurt sauce. We split an order of the Pistachio Baklava which was perfect knowing how sweet that dessert is. Our meal was delicious, our only challenge was the service was on the slower side as they had a full restaurant and two servers managing all the patrons. Our server was great, he just had a lot he was juggling. Given the size of the restaurant is small, it is best to make reservations. They've done a nice job creating an intimate environment with the space they are working with for the dining room. When the weather is nice, they offer outdoor tables as an option as well. We look forward to coming back to try other dishes. read more

Turkish Flame has great food and great service. Have returned and will continue to do so!

I really wanted to love this place. I was so looking forward to the falafels. My mom's lamb dish was very good; my friend's chicken dish had some chicken that was undercooked/pink inside and inedible. The pieces that were cooked properly were good. The falafels did not have much flavor. And the oddest thing was that the wine was by the type with no brand mentioned. $48 for a bottle of an unknown wine that ended up being way overpriced. Cute atmosphere, pleasant service. read more

I loved that and was so happy stopped to have lunch! Falafel was amazing and salads. The owner was so nice. Sure next time I'll try the kabob ;) Thanks so much for the amazing stuff for fresh great food! read more

Love this place. We travel quite a bit. Food was incredible. Service was spot on. Absolutely looking forward to going back to this place.

A tourist trap! A turkish style food restaurant on Indian Rocks Beach?! Big red flag. We went on a Sat evening and the place was empty, another red flag. It is a small restaurant and very warm inside. They need to work on the a/c system! We didnt know who our server was. First one lady gave us menus and then another server poured water on glasses. Yet another server or manager took our order. The food came out on a timely manner but had no flavor. Rice was almost cold; lamb and beef tasteless and dry. Even the tzatziki sauce lack flavor. I felt dissappointed since I read some good reviews about this place. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Turkish Flame Mediterranean Restaurant - My lackluster dish at turkish flame - Turkish Near Me - Indian Rocks Beach, Florida

I found this place by accident. Im ebiking along Gulf Blvd from Medeira Beach heading to Clearwater Beach. I got a flat, assistance would take an hour. So I had to look for shelter. Like an oasis in a sea of residencial properties is Turkish Flame beckoning me in. The outside patio, serves for additional seating, is simple and unassuming. Inside is a romantic, intimate, paradise. I got here at 11am Friday, fair to say I was the first customer. Service 9/10 Food 9/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Price 8/10 Will i come here again? Hell yeah. I had the falafel app, lamb casserole, Turkish coffee, and mango nectar. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. What a great experience! Small, cozy, very attractive space. Absolutely delicious shish kabobs and salads. Servers could not have been more accommodating and were clearly proud of their establishment. We'll be in the area for two weeks and will definitely be back to try more of their offerings. Don't hesitate to try this restaurant. read more

Turkish flame was absolutely great! We lived on the beach for 9 years, but we never visited until our move to Dunedin, what a loss for us!! The warm hummus, the incredible bread, tasty Greek salad and lamb and chicken casseroles were a perfect stress reliever on a chilly Friday night! The service was warm and kind (unlike the temps outside)! We'll make the drive back! read more

Love this place! They did a great job taking over the last place there. Huge menu. Staff is very on top of it. Food is fantastic!

#1 make reservations, very small dining area, ambience is pleasant #2 pricing is expensive 10.95 for a bowl of lentil soup. #3 Entray portions are small compared to price #4 the bread is fantastic, as are grape leaves #5 the chicken kebobs were excellent, however the gyro meat while good, but also several pieces were hard and no comparison to Tarpon springs Lamb Gyro. #6 the staff were excellent and friendly #7 I love food from all countries and was welcome change of pace, you should try as the meats are seasoned traditionally Turkish and tasty. Plus items like falafel, hummus, grape leaves are a good bet. #8 I Recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys the medditeran style food and prepared with a flavorful Turkish twist. read more

Visiting family hosted 20 of us for dinner in their hotel suite last March (2025). Our takeout order from Turkish Flame was ready on-time (during a crowded spring break!), perfectly prepared and delicious, and included some vegetarian dishes, too! We started with cold appetizer servings of smooth balanced garlic humus, tangy creamy herbed haydari/yogurt, and creamy garlicky olive-oil eggplant babaganouj. All came with hot fresh pita bread. We added sausage (sucuklu) pide flatbread with crispy hot crust and a thin layer of sauce. We filled out dinner with 1 marinated spiced ground veal and lamb Adana platter, 2 mixed grill platters of chicken Adana kebabs, cubed tenderloin beef skewers, chicken skewers, 8 Chicken Wings, and ground beef doner and ground chicken doner. All were deeply flavorful and juicy. These came with grilled tomatoes and peppers, light kisir/bulgar grain, and simple crisp salads. We got 1 platter of vegetarian falafel, lightly crispy on the outside, soft and richly flavored inside. We finished with fresh-tasting flaky sweet honey-walnut baklava. It was such a great variety of wonderful flavors! Thank you Turkish Flame! read more

It was amazing, I highly recommend it. One of the best Turkish restaurants I've tried. The staff was very nice, amazing food. I didn't know baked hummus was a thing but it was delicious. You could taste the pistachio in the baklava, which is good because it's not too sweet but it's still sweet. But I recommend all the food overall, it's really good. read more

Great place for authentic Turkish food and hospitality. I had one of their lunch specials which was a lamb wrap and it was delicious. I also had a nice Ayran yogurt drink which is hard to find in the States. The best part was the hospitality of my server Tayfun! read more

Amazing and great Turkish/Mediterranean food! We went with a group of six and made reservations in advance. The restaurant is small but comfortable and you don't feel crowded. Our group started with a couple appetizers starting with the Grape Leaves, Baked Hummus with Soudjouk, the Homemade Cheese Pie and an order of the falafel. Everything was excellent, with the grape leaves and falafel being my favorite. For the entrees, most of the group went with either the Chicken Shish or Iskander, however, I chose the Lamb Shish. I was a little disappointed with the lamb shish since the meat was a little tougher than I anticipated, but had great flavor. I would have liked the meat cooked a little more tender and less chewy. The Chicken Shish and the Iskander were both wonderful and cooked perfectly! Service was great and loved the Turkish music playing in the background, which gave it an authentic and lively vibe. read more

Excellent dining experience. The waiter was so nice and our food was out fast. The food tasted like it was made with care. The food was so flavorful and different than other restaurants. The aesthetic of the restaurant was unique and authentic. Would definitely go again. read more

WOW! So many good things to say. The first thing you'll notice is the great service. Everyone is very attentive to your needs and satisfaction. The second thing you'll notice is the appearance of the restaurant. It's beautifully decorated and cozy. Well appointed and very clean and tidy. The third thing and probably the most important is the food is AMAZING! I ordered the Falafel Platter. It tasted fresh and moist with the perfect combination of spices that brought all the flavors together. My server was Ece. She made sure the food arrived hot and there was no delay. I also met Apo who was a very courteous and conscientious gentleman. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Casserole is amazing (tried the lamb and beef). My belly is extremely happy. Food sized portions, but save room for dessert!

Good service and great food. I took my family for lunch on Sunday and we will be back.

We had the best experience here! We are on vacation and had a long day of traveling and this place was right around the corner. The food was delicious, the staff were all extremely nice, and they got our to-go order packed up with an extra surprise treat. We will be back here during our stay. The chicken kebabs and hummus are the best. You've got to try the pita- it's really thick! read more

While vacationing with my sisters, we decided to stop by here for lunch. I was in Turkey earlier in the year and when I came in, saw the atmosphere, tried the food, it felt like I was back in Turkey. We all loved this place! The lentil soup was smooth and delicious, the cheese sticks were crispy and fresh, the chicken was soft and juicy. Our waiter and the owner were very attentive, friendly and smiley. Definitely would love to come back here when I'm back in the area! read more

We got take out and it was delicious! We ordered a variety of things from the menu. Definitely will go back!

Amazing service and delicious food!! Beautiful presentation with special attention to detail. A lovely experience.

We came in a bit of a larger group and they were so accommodating and moved tables around. Our server was also extremely patient with our questions regarding the menu and was very thoughtful and asked if anyone had allergies. The member who had allergies was then shown all the dishes he would be able to eat safely. And honestly, the food was the best we've had since we came to Florida. We started with 2 delicious appetizers: the falafel and hummus and it came with bread fresh from the oven. Incredible! Not to mention on our main dishes, the portion sizes were huge and the food was fresh and flavorful. We finished our delightful experience off with Turkish coffees. If I could eat at this spot every day, I would! read more

The food and service were both exceptional. We shared the lebnah appetizer , which was even better than I'd had in the past (in NYC) and came with the most amazing, freshly baked, brick oven bread. Then we shared a lamb dish (pictured) that was well spiced and tender. Such a nice change from the usual Florida fair. read more
