Not a bad price for -- smashburger - thin, griddled patty, not juicy but not dry, nicely flavored, Halal, with grilled onions, cheese and special Smash IT sauce (spiced mayo?) on a soft bun; seasoned fries that were hot, crisp and generous portion; and drink (Pepsi products, water). I thought this was a good value, nothing gourmet, but made fresh, a step above fast food, and a nice portion. There are other lunch specials -- and as I mentioned, a discount if you pay cash (it's unusual that I have cash). There were no customers inside the restaurant when I stopped in. As they took my order, prepared it, and brought my food out to me, no other customers stopped in, and no Door Dash/Uber Eats drivers came in either.

Rai Rai 2 reviews a minute ago New Extremely Disappointed - Unacceptable Handling of Qurbani Order I went to pick up my Qurbani order today and was absolutely shocked to see that the meat was packed in black trash bags. When I asked the associate about it, he rudely replied, "That's what we do." I then requested a proper bag or at least something to stop the blood from leaking, as I couldn't place a dripping trash bag in my car. His response? "We ran out of all bags. Nothing is there." I had no choice but to take it as-is. By the time I reached home, the car trunk was soaked in blood. Now, I have to spend extra money on professional detailing to clean the mess. This was the worst experience I've ever had. My family and I have been regular customers, buying meat and groceries from this store, but after today never again. I've also informed my friends and relatives to avoid this place. The way they handle customers especially on such a sacred occasion is disgraceful. There's no respect for the customer, no respect for the trust people place in them during Qurbani. And to top it off, the meat quality and packing looks extremely poor. I'm deeply disappointed and feel cheated. Everyone is free to make their own decisions, but this is my honest review. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through what I went through. Extremely disappointed.

The clerk told us to use the kiosk right away with no greeting, which felt a little cold. The sandwich was $13 and worth it, but it would've been nice if fries were included. I guess that's just how it is now. Good food overall, just not the best service!

Flame On Peri Peri is a singular restaurant serving hot ass food. Kind of seems like it mixes American fast food with Mediterranean options such as chicken and falafel among protein options. This type of cuisine typically uses meat but there's a falafel option for those getting the meaty stuff. After hearing about it one time, I came here. It's located in a nice strip mall building, modern looking. This is an order at the counter type of restaurant. Has some spicy ass food. There's a sort of Mediterranean fast food kind of feel too. It's about $10 for one of the Rice Bowls. The vegan option for protein is the falafel. These were plentiful, a good value. Also you get a choice of sauce, and I got the creamy hummus. This also came with hot and white garlic sauce. It was fucking ass hot. This had serious hot peppers in there. For sure I would go here again. It's expensive so not all the time of course. There's a pretty big menu full of options like bowls, pitas, and salads, and there's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

Beware - even the mild has some heat (there's also a no spice option). This isn't really place to sit and eat. There are tables, but It's more of a takeout place.

The lady who took my order talked me into getting fries too, so my order went from $6.99 to over $12. It was good though! They have 3 sauces; mango habanero, buffalo and barbecue. I chose buffalo and was happy to see that it came on the side, in case I didn't care for it. My order took about 15 minutes and was still hot when I got home. The chicken was seasoned well and fried perfectly. The fries were good too and both were delicious when dipped in the sauce. I will probably try the mango habanero next or maybe one of the pricey combos. If it's good I don't mind paying!
