We were looking for kebabs when we ended up here at falafel flair, however, we ended up ordering their bacon cheeseburgers, instead of kebabs, and oh boy are we glad that we did! The storefront isn't much to squawk about, but it's clean, well lit, and there's a couple of TV screens that you could watch while you're enjoying your food. As we looked at the menu, we discovered that in addition to kebabs and other exotic offerings, they had burgers and it really peaked our interest. If you love a good burger you'll enjoy what they have to offer. I do not know what they are using to season their patties as it was so unique from what I've eaten before, but the burger patty was moist and perfectly cooked, very tender and juicy as well. In each bite there seemed to be a symphony of flavors that I couldn't really name, but that had me wanting more after I finished it. It was the most exotic tasting burger I've ever had, yet at the same time, it had all of the fixings of a traditional burger. We found it to be an absolute delight. While the restaurant appeared to be unstaffed when we entered and nobody came out to serve us until we were just about to turn around and walk out, we observed that the young man who came out had gloves on and he was probably in the back doing some sort of food prep, so the delay was reasonable. He swiftly and politely greeted us upon sight, and answered our questions about the menu. I appreciated his hospitable demeanor and the food was amazing! I'm going back for kabobs and I want to try their colorful desserts. So glad to have found them. read more

Falafel Flare - Chicken Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Tracy, California

***USP: I am not sure if this is a branch of other similar named restaurants in the bayarea. In addition to the typical falafel, kebab/shawarma plates and wraps, they have pizza and burgers as well. ***AMBIANCE: Though they have a few tables in the small restaurant, they are mostly built for take out orders. Lot of artificial foliage covered walls and a small rattan couple seat along with a few small tables and chairs make up the ambiance. ***FOOD: We got a chicken wrap, chicken platter and a few crispy chicken sandwiches. Prices are typical of the post Covid era. The platter came with some pita bread, rice, hummus, small salad and chicken. The chicken was sufficiently moist and flavored through. Most places tend to dry out chicken shawarma but not this place. The hummus was topped with some real olive oil as well. The salad was fresh and had some pickled veggies which provided a nice tart kick. Rice was cooked through and separate. Crispy chicken sandwich came with crispy chicken, slice of American single, mayo, tomato slices, lettuce. So nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken wrap came with the same chicken as the platter. I enjoyed the wrap, it was not too heavy, the sauce to meat to bread to veggies ratio was perfect. read more

Mediterranean food is something I always go for when I am super hungry as I feel it's a balanced meal.that being said it can go very wrong if flavor is not present. I am glad I came here and went with the suggestion of the restaurant owner which was combo plate and falafel. Everything on plate not only looked good, it tasted amazing as well. Service was fast and I loved the cute ambiance there. Not a very big restaurant but a decent place for small families and couples for sure. read more

My family's favorite chicken shawarma and wrap place in the Valley! My late grandfather loved to go here, when Sam (owner) found out he passed, he treated us with such graceful service, offering us free Baklava and other drinks. A small gesture, but speaks magnitudes about the type of people running this restaurant. Family-oriented, warm, and friendly! Great pricing, great people, great food. Thank you Sam for your kindness to my family. read more

Happen to stop by here and try out Falafel Flare for the first time since moving to Tracy, I gotta say the Kebab Plate was FIREEE, I got the beef and lamb while my friend got the same thing.

He also let us try the bavlava on the house and it was also very good compared to other spots!! Will definitely come back! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Falafel Flare.

Really tasty falafel. I was in town and looking for good vegetarian food, this place came up so figured I would give it a try. Place is a little hole in the wall joint in a strip mall. Falafel wrap was absolutely delicious. Fresh, good portion, great sauces, and came out quickly. Definitely worth the price. Staff seemed friendly, too! If I am ever back in Tracy, will be back here! read more

I took my dad with me here on our lifetime search for the best and most authentic falafel. The falafel was decent, but the search goes on for the best. I was disappointed in the pictures of the good, not matching what we actually got. I uploaded the menu pictures and what we actually got so people can compare for themselves. Both the onion rings and calamari look like we got half of what we were supposed to, according to the pictures. And the calamari being priced at $13.99, I would expect at least twice as much as we got. My Dad said he liked the calamari, I thought it was too spongy. I wouldn't order again for myself. The onion rings we both thought we crispy and good, just not as much as we expected from the picture on the menu. The mango lassi was ok again, not something I would order again, and I love everything mango. At $23.99 for the kabob combo, I expect more than 6 pieces of meat. 3 pieces of chicken and 3 pieces of lamb. The picture on the menu showed at least 6 pieces of each. I truly feel for 6 pieces that Kabob combo is greatly overpriced. On top of it being overpriced, the lamb meat was extremely tough and difficult to chew and very gamey tasting. I eat lamb, but I prefer it to be more tender and less gamey tasting. The plates came with a side salad, hummus, 2 triangle pieces of pita bread and rice. All of which was decent. This place had 5 star reviews, so I was super excited to try them thinking I was in for a 5-star experience. I have to keep it real and give my honest opinion. We all have different tastes and different expectations. I, for one, was not satisfied with the taste, the price, or the experience. read more

We were blown away by the food here! My husband and I were visiting my in-laws and we will definitely be eating here again at our next visit. The owner was very gracious and attentive throughout our time here. We ordered The Greek Salad with Chicken and both devoured our entire plate. The flavor of the chicken was delicious. The owner also gave us free waters and free tzatziki which was super generous of him. Our dine-in experience was lovely thanks to a busy environment, sports on the TV in the background, and the friendly staff. I can't wait to go back and order the same thing. read more

The food is fresh and delicious. Service was quick. Tiny place but clean. Will return and recommend!!!

Refused to make food because they had already cleaned the grill, but were still open for 40 more minutes. Half the things on the menu require a grill, so what's the point of being open? read more

Falafel flame is located within a large plaza but please do not miss it!! The parking is not hard to find. Definitely stop by and experience their amazing food! The inside is cozy and spacious for all your loved ones. My favorite has to be their falafel wrap (for vegetarians) or gyro with a side of onion rings. All their foods in general are made with love! Their mango lassi is freshly made and super delicious! Their spicy sauce gives it a kick so be careful but if you love spicy, you'll love this! Their other house sauce is delicious as well and not spicy! I love their service and words cannot explain how grateful I am for this business! Truly an amazing environment filled with genuine people. We are not from the area but we will drive the distance to get here! Hands down my favorite falafel spot in Northern California! Always willing to support this business even from a distance! Thank you so much Falafel Flame for being so kind, welcoming & providing delicious food!! read more

First time trying Greek food and wow! Must try...must have! It was flavorful and freshly made!

In town from San Diego on business and stumbled across this place looking for a healthy meal. No expectations, just a quick bite solo on the road This food is top tier. Fresh ingredients and authentic recipes (at least on the gyros!) I love it when you can tell the owner takes pride not only in what the do, but how they do it. Locals - I wonder if you know how lucky you are to have this gem serving up the GOODS in your town? read more

Wow just ate dinner here it was amazing. The food was ready in like minutes. Taste sorry Yafa, this might be our next favorite spot. I had the lamb plate it was so good. The pickled beets were great.

When the nights get colder, sometimes you just crave a hearty meal. Thankfully, Falafel Flame was able to fulfill that need. This is a mom and pop shop tucked in a corner of a plaza that houses a variety of other small businesses. As it is a shared lot, parking was easy enough. Upon walking in, the restaurant was small, but cozy. Despite this, it seems they've built a reputable place because a good amount of people came and went, whether it was to pick up food or to dine in. We ordered a veggie burger, gyro plate, curly fries, dolma, and two bottled waters. The food came out within 10 minutes and our server/cashier was so nice and hospitable. He made sure to check up on us multiple times and gave us napkins and utensils. Hilariously, he also gave us chlorox wipes for our phones because he noticed us trying to clean the dust off of them, lol! I actually dug into the dolma and curly fries first, because I'm an avid fries girly and also enjoyed how the dolma was presented. My friend said her previous experience eating dolma left her with a mixed impression, but she liked these ones. The fries had a nice crunch to them and were so, so addicting! The burger was delicious, too. The server explained that the sauce that was served with my burger was a unique "cocktail" that had a spicy kick to it. Although I infrequently eat burgers, I always like to deck it out in toppings like onions, pickles, lettuce, etc. when I do. This burger met my expectations, and the sauce the server gave me definitely gave it an extra kick. When you check in on Yelp, you get a coupon for 1 baklava. We went up to claim it, and the server gave us not one but TWO baklava, so we could both try it (My friend isn't a yelper). Talk about amazing generosity and hospitality! I'm a sucker for great food, but I'm an even bigger sucker for great service! I'm super glad we found this place, and you bet we'll be returning for another meal. read more

Stumbled upon this place on our road trip. What a pleasant surprise! Large quantities and good food and service. Very friendl

Another stop at this place.... Service: quick and friendly staff Ambiance: clean place inside, prayer mats available, bathroom, small place but suitable for small group. Usually not as crowded. Food: from pizzas to fries, from adults to kids meal, from sodas to mango. Spicy chicken Quesadilla - I wish they would use green chilies and not red peppers flakes for spicy level- and shred the chicken. it contains too much cheese, light onions, and pieces of chicken with red peppers flakes. Was going go for a drink but notice Coca-Cola products. I wish they didn't support the products that are being boycott. read more

Absolutely amazing! Large portions and great flavor. Highly recommend checking it out!

First off let me say, we needed some good baklava. We just had the worst baklava at a previous place we went to. We saw reviews for baklava from here and it sounded like the remedy for our sadness, let me tell you, it was. The baklava here at Falafel Flare is crisp on top, with a softer but still firm moist honey flavor at the bottom. It has the pistachios and is just the right amount of sweet. It's a lovely bite of baklava we wanted so badly. You will enjoy your treat if you stop here. Also, the staff was wonderful, so kind when we said why we had rolled into their place for just baklava. We will be coming back for food and baklava next time. Thank you to this place for being so kind to us and having a good baklava. read more

Falafel Flare - Baklava - 2.50 per piece in April 2025. Yummy, simple, just the right amount of sweet. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tracy, California

Service was friendly and found convenient parking spot up front. We liked this place but unfortunately on this last visit, the food was not as great as before. which I'll say was a while ago. I got the Gyro platter as last time ( a while ago). The meat seemed to be the same. yummy! But the rice was now a white version instead of brown, which would be fine but the flavor wasn't there and was a bit bland, and there was quite a bit of rice. Same w/the hummus...I remember it tasted great but this time it tasted very bland too, and it was pale in color. It just didn't taste like hummus this time. The white and red sauces were delicious and didn't seem to change :) The falafels, good size and nice golden color but I think the flavor inside was different. With a Yelp check-in, I got a complimentary piece of baklava. The owner was kind and put an extra for my husband. it was tasty, good size, and we enjoyed it. read more

Sam, the owner, is a standout human being AND serves delicious food. Sam provided a catered and delivered dinner for 25 to our hotel (this group included many super hungry teenagers who had participated in a nearby tournament that day). Sam provided hummus, pita, rice, falafel, shawarma, gyro, Greek salad and delicious sauces. The team and family members went up for 2nd and even 3rd helpings! There were many compliments on the food. Sam was a pleasure to work with in planning the meal; I could not have been happier. I plan to visit Falafel Flare any time I am in Tracy. You should visit them, too! read more

We decided to order a variety of dishes for our family meal, starting with flavorful gyro and succulent chicken shawarma. The children were particularly excited about the crispy chicken burger, which they absolutely loved. We also indulged in the flame burger, one of our personal favorites, alongside some delicious chicken tenders served with a side of crispy fries. Service was very good. The food was truly outstanding; everything arrived at our table piping hot and bursting with flavor. It was a delightful dining experience that felt complete, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and served. We really cherished this meal together as a family. read more
