Came with a large group of friends/family. This is more of a buy your food and sit kind of restaurant which made it easier for each person to pay for their own food. The owners were super helpful and nice, and very patient with a large group which seems to be rare these days. We were able to check in on Yelp and they gave us a free Baklava, and even took care of the Blackberry tart I ordered. Great place, great people, amazing food! I had the lamb kabob with rice, hummus and pita bread. It comes with a little salad and this green salsa (MUST HAVE!!) 10/10 experience read more

The food was so tasty got a combo plate with gyro and chicken with rice it came with hummus, pita, tzatziki and a side salad. The salad was just ok iceberg lettuce mix with a tiny bit of dressing. The pita came warm and the hummus was super tasty the star of the plate was the gyro meat, the chicken was great too but I'd probably just get the gyro plate next time. I ate there at the restaurant and it seemed pretty slow for a weekend lunch but the place was a little messy. Lots of trash and old plates of food from previous customers. One star off for being kind of unappealing inside the restaurant. read more

Walking around Todos Santos Park to figure out what I want to eat for lunch. I remembered they had Gyro's close by but couldn't remember which place was it. Yelp to the rescue and I see Falafel Flame. Walked in and saw either lamb or chicken gyro, I chose chicken and it was done within 10mins. Took it to the park bench since it was a gorgeous warm day and my 1st bite was delicious. Peep out my photo. read more

This food was soo good! I had a really good time with the service and everything. Definitely recommend!

Food was awful. Chicken was stale, old and salty. Felafel was undercooked and soft inside. And service was the worst. Everyone seemed to be miserable being there. No one even acknowledged us and they took forever to take our order. and then got our order wrong. and the water they had was WARM and no ice. read more

Everyone (but me) loved the food! I ordered a chicken wrap with no sauce, no vegetables, just chicken. It came with spicy chicken. I could not eat it. I don't know if they do not serve wrap with unseasoned chicken or if I need to use different words to get it plain. But if you like your gyro meat spicy we recommend this place. Excellent pita and generous amount of meat. read more

Great falafel wrap. Falafel was tasty and crunchy. The sauce had a nice aromatic sweetness to it. Excellent service. Plenty of seating, even though I picked up. read more

I was looking for lunch one day and found this on Yelp. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a jumbo (combo) wrap and asked for it spicy. It wasn't really spicy but the chicken was very flavorful. I also got a side of fries which they gave a delicious dill ranch sauce with. Overall, the food was very good. The minus one star is for the price. A wrap ($15) and small thing of fries ($3?) is an over $20 lunch. With tip, I paid just over $25. Would be nice if they had some lunch specials because while the food was good, I won't be doing that for lunch again. read more

I go to this restaurant for lunch I hade combination kebob when I finished my lunch I saw that there is mosquito in the rice I never going back to this restaurant they have to be more careful about their food I think they are not clean in the kitchen only god knows what's going on in the kitchen read more

Def worth checking out if you're in Concord. Stopped by Falafel Flame on my way back to SF. Had their chicken wrap spicy. The chicken was freshly grilled and the ingredients inside (lettuce, tzatziki, tomatoes, onions, and pickles) were tasty (and crunchy). The tables did look like they could use a good wipe down but not too dirty. Would come back! read more

Falafel Flame - Chicken wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Concord, California

This spot is serving their menu fresh and ready for takeout. I wanted something quick and easy while I was out at Todos Santos Park, and Mediterranean food during the summer heat seemed like the perfect fit. They have a table up front at their door to take you, as I told the guy my order and he took my card and rang it back at the register towards their inside cashier area. Food took about 5-10 minutes, as it was a slow Saturday afternoon. I saw just one guy eating solo on one of their tables outside. I'm not sure if this was a life-changing falafel experience, yet it gave me what I wanted and expected, filled me up without feeling guilty, and I was happily satisfied. Frontman was also courteous and practicing all Covid rules and health codes. Happy to support a local business! read more

New Mediterranean spot by the name of Falafel Flame near Starbucks and Sharetea. Parking lot is small but not bad at noon on a Friday. Walk up to the door to order or pickup telephone order. I called ahead and paid for a combo kebab with chicken and lamb. The chicken and lamb were seasoned flavorfully and chicken was super tender. The side salad was tasty along with the pita and hummus. The rice was bomb though there were a few clumps stuck together. My only gripes are that it's pricey for $19.xx for 6 decent pieces. Service was friendly though. read more

I love Mediterranean food so I was excited when this place opened! They are located next to Starbucks in Todos Santos Park. Parking can be tricky during busy hours but there is usually somewhere to park if you look around. Bank of America's parking lot is in front of this place so you can always park there. They are doing take out and delivery during COVID restrictions. I placed an order over the phone and my food was ready within 15 minutes. I got the chicken platter $16. It comes with chicken, rice, salad, hummus and peta bread. The chicken is delicious! It has a lot of flavor. I thought $16 for lunch was a bit on the pricy side but many Mediterranean places do charge more than usual and you get humus with the platter here which I love! The platter had good portions and the food was very tasty. I will come back and try other dishes read more

Ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate and a Falafel side. Best falafel I ever had... light, fresh, nice crunch on the outside. The inside of the falafel was very light, not heavy and dense. The lamb kabob was perfectly seasoned and loved the sauces. The halal meat makes a huge difference in quality. Salad, rice, and pita was very fresh. Really loved the hummus too. Very light and smooth and flavorful. Great meal altogether. The store itself was very clean. I got the baklava free with Yelp check-in. Their sweets display looked so good...what a selection! After trying the baklava, I wished I bought a couple more to try. Please support this business. There was an Afghani relief flyer posted near the checkout. The owner or manager spoke English, but the rest of the staff did not, it seems. This business makes great effort to please the customer. Will be back to try the burgers! And more lamb and the rest. read more

We've always passed by this place on our way to get boba from Share tea next door and we finally decided to give them a try and man am I glad we did! Parking here is pretty easy unless there's an event at todos Santos. The restaurant is clean and I love their big display case of different types of dessert including baklava. The worker was very friendly and gave us suggestions on what to get. Here's what we tried: Gyro wrap: oh wow, after taking a bite, I was in flavor town and the size is great for the price! Gyro platter: it comes with beef gyro, rice, salad, hummus and pita, a great choice if you're absolutely ravaged since it can technically feed two people. The hummus is full of flavor and the pita was fresh. All in all, a great place! I drove all the way here from Martinez on my lunch break one time just to get their gyro wrap haha it's that good! Don't forget to get their spicy and white sauce on the side!! read more

Wow! Falafels were SO good! They were soft and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They weren't overly greasy or hard to chew, just they way I like them. Basmati cumin rice was very aromatic and perfectly cooked. Service was great as well. Loved their pistachio Turkish delight too. Will definitely be back! read more

I have never noticed this shopping center before but it has several restaurants in it including a boba place. I ordered the Gyro grilled salad and combo platter. Both were amazing. I highly recommend this place. They give you a ton of food and it's full of flavor. There is a huge parking lot so don't worry about parking even though it's close to downtown concord. read more

Love this place the food and gyros are amazing! So so good!! Usually get it delivered and the order is always hot and correct!

This place always has fresh tasty food that delivers on good portions. Great spot to go for a healthy meal.

The food might be good but the service here is whack, I called in an order he asks for name and everything and I show up to pick up and he's puzzled about me ever placing an order. read more

The food is 4-star. The service... 2 or maybe even 1-star... read on... if you want details. Hmmm... let's say they're a little less then friendly when you go in, in person. So for the food, B+ or even A- ... but for everything else, D+. If their are equal quality options -- go elsewhere. They'll get you what you ordered & It'll taste good. I guess depending what mood you catch them in... they can be a little comatose and zombie-like... as if they already got you're order and they want to do the minimal effort cuz they already know you paid treat you like a moron for asking the simplest of questions. So the food is a 4-star, but if you expect good service... then for service, the the service is a 2-star... just the slightest uptick in attitude would help them. They act like they are slave laborers and any question I asked was like effecting their very existence. Maybe they are jaded and deal with "Karen's" or high maintenance "uppity" Americans in the worst stereotype you can imagine. I am anything but that... So if you go for the food...with no frills or stings attached, then this is your place. However, if there is competition with similar food and decent quality -- the tie breaker goes to someone else. The fact that I am giving them a 3-star attests to the point that I am not "low-balling" them "just because..." their customer service is lacking. read more

I've been here twice and it has always hit the spot. Has not been a disappointment with the portions and freshness of flavors etc

One of my friends suggested this place by telling about their wraps and plates. And I went there since it was suggested but I also trying to support locals right now. One of the first things that I want to mention before telling you about the food, how the cashier was good, he was super polite and professional. He was answering all the questions regarding the food and also telling his fav ones. Regarding the food one more unicorn in Concord that will always make me come back. I got combo plate and their famous Badmaash Burger, everything was tasty and fresh. read more

Wow wow wow. I did not know we had a place this tasty close by. Falafel Flame hit all the spots I was craving. I got the combo platter with chicken and gyro and they were super tasty and importantly, not dry. It felt a little like Halal Guys but tastier and none of that lettuce. Or well, the lettuce comes on the side as a salad, with some hummus (which was the least exciting thing about all these dishes) and on a bed of (delicious) rice. We also got their baba ganoush and a side of falafel and while my dad thinks they were on the small side, I thought they were pretty normal and most importantly, not dry. I loved the baba ganoush, but my dad thought it was a little lemony, but his taste is sometimes questionable lol. For me it had the right amount of smokiness with lemoniness that made it a little brighter and zippier than other baba ganoushes. The rest of my family got the kabob and kabob combo and they thought they were really tasty. The chicken kabob was nice and moist, the lamb kabobs my dad had nothing to say about which really tells you he thought they were good enough not to say something about. My brother was excited by the turkish delight they had there (eight flavors!) but not as excited for the price ($2/piece) but IMO for the bay area those seem pretty standard. My dad started to comment on how in Israel when they visited they were WAY cheaper but ok dad that was there not here. Turkish delight here has always seemed on the pricier side, and I've never been enough of a fan to take the plunge. They were fun to try though, and honestly - we cut each piece into four portions - that small portion was more than enough for me. Make sure you have some tea or other not-sweet drink to balance it out. Cardamom tea, mint tea, anything that has the punch to counter the strong flavors of the turkish delight. Definitely will be coming back here, just maybe not for a turkish delight unless it's a special occasion. read more

One word; Fantastic! I've gone here a number of times and each time it's been amazing. During these times of social distancing and take out I've felt comfortable coming here time and time again. I've had the chicken platter, combo platter, and kebab combo platter. All have been yummy and portioned reasonably for the price. You would have no problem getting two servings out of it. But I usually just scarf it all down in one sitting tho :) They do offer outside sitting with a couple of tables as well. I haven't wanted to do that, but if that's your preference then you have that option. If you're craving Mediterranean food, then this place is a major go! read more

Falafel Flame - Kebab combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Concord, California

You can gauge how good/bad a spot's food is going to be just by trying their hamburger. A simple hamburger is always my go-to, so I ordered that + their popular Badmaash burger. Hamburger Verdict: 5/5 Summary: Large portion, patty's cooked perfectly at medium--super juicy, packed on all the toppings, added all the condiments, buns hold up well & pairs well, but what really makes this burger is that sauce! It's a mayo-based sauce with spices & I really enjoyed it. They slather a healthy amount onto the burger. I took a photo of the Badmaash, which looks really mean (in a great way) but I'm afraid of picking it up in my car rn lol but if the hamburger is good, I know the Badmaash will be excellent. Definitely coming back here for their Turkish delights because I am a total sucker for homemade Turkish delights. read more

Located right next to Luna Restaurant, and just a short walk away from ShareTea in Todos Santos Downtown area, it's certainly in a fairly high traffic spot (of course, during non-COVID times). I had seen this spot for a bit now even though they haven't been opened for long, but since every time I get ShareTea I always spot it, I had been curious to try them out since. While Falafel Flame is probably known for their falafels, the pictures of the Badmaash burger others have posted was just too tempting that I had to give it a try. I called in my order ahead of time for takeout, no issues during the phone order. Got there, and there's enough space inside for probably 5-7 people socially distanced safely, so good for if they get busy. They also had some pre-made takeout dishes that I didn't really take too close of a look at, but I'm not an expert on Mediterranean food, which for these kinds of things is usually best to know what you're getting. I'm guessing there might be hummus in there somewhere too, but again, I didn't take too close of a look this time. Picked up at the counter, the employee was friendly, and picked up my order to get back home and eat. Price wise, they're not terribly cheap, as there's certainly other burger places in the area in this busier part of Concord, but would be cheaper than EJ Phair's, though probably a bit more expensive than Burgerim. However, what I did order was the Badmaash Burger, which is their more expensive burgers, but certainly, I would definitely recommend it. The patties are hefty, and tasty. I wish I could've gotten it medium rare, even though the well done wasn't bad since it was the default, but probably would've been even better medium rare as that's more fitting to my tastes. The meat itself is just...well, meaty. It's got good texture for a patty, and just has a nice feel to it when you bite into the burger as a whole. Certainly doesn't feel like they skimped on the meat part of it. The sauce they use is basically a similar clone to the thousand island style flavoring you'd find at most other trendier burger places. Was certainly hoping for a more unique sauce considering it's a Mediterranean place, but hey, can't have everything I guess. The bacon was nice. Nothing special, but was adequately tasty. The egg was nice and runny, although, I do wish that the yolk wasn't already broken by the time I got it home and opened up the box, as the yolk already sort of congealed a bit at the bottom of the box, which I was hoping I could've just had oozing out from when I bit into it for the first time. Still delicious. I also ordered some curly fries, just the smaller size. Nothing spectacular, but if you want curly fries with your burger as opposed to the regular fries, they will have them here. Falafel Flame makes a pretty Badmaash burger. The patties were perfect, though I will come back for a medium rare next time. The combination of the ingredients in the burger itself aren't mind blowing, but the quality of just being a better burger is definitely there compared to some of the other places around, but not quite as expensive as some of the more premium spots that offer it. Price wise, it's adequate as they do have a variety of levels from fairly cheaper, to a bit more expensive. Their Mediterranean dishes definitely were much more expensive as I had debated while looking through the menu to also partake in, but decided to pass in the end since it was a bit costly on top of everything else, so might be more fitting for an entree rather than in addition to. Will definitely return for more with Falafel Flame in the future. read more

Took 30 minutes to get our food. They seemed disorganized and unready for the dinner rush, which ironically came after we arrived. The chicken wraps were good and generously portioned but the dolmas were hit and miss; many were mostly grape leaves. The garlic fries were gross. They had an awful fish smell as if the oil was rancid. I expected better given the price and preparation time. They also didn't label our wraps so we could decipher which one was spicy versus extra spicy. read more

Fist time having falafel flame and i ordered it thro doordash. I love a good falafel and ordered the falafel plate. so delicious the falafel was soft and delicious unlike some places who make a falafel hard and crunchy. the hummus was delicious and so was the rice. Deff worth the order read more

Their service is bad, takes forever to get the food out, and the place wasn't even busy. And your portion is not worth what you pay.

My daughter went in to order her food while I had to wait in car. I called to ask her to order me something as well but she was scared to because the guy was in such a bad mood. The food taste fine but when I checked my account I saw they added more than my daughter signed for! $16.99 plus tax & $3 tip, somehow totaled $23.97 read more

Full disclosure, I've already eaten here 3 times in one week since I discovered this spot. Absolutely delicious, crispy and flavorful falafel! They either put all spice or cinnamon in the seasoning which I've never had before and it makes the falafel so much better! Their pita bread is fluffy and thick and they add all the best toppings to their wraps; cabbage, pickles, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes and sauces. My friend ordered a loaded burger and my husband ordered the gyro. They both said their food was great and such generous portions they gave them. Lucky me, they opened this location right across the street from my office. I hope they do very well and continue to have business during these difficult times. Their food is amazing. read more
