    Burnt chips?
    Rhonda R.

    Recent DoorDash order....We had hummus also, it was ok. Not sure why everything was burnt. Chicken was dry and the burnt "grilled " part was charred. The chips were a mess. Even the powder on top has no flavor. It's too bad when it's delivered and can't speak with a server. DoorDash service was fast, professional and kind.

    I paid for extra rice and this is what I get

    I paid for extra rice and this is what I get kinda sucks usually they're very cheap with the portions the food is good but not worth it if every time they portion out like this especially when I ask for extra things and pay for it

    Chicken Kabob Bowl
    Jessika S.

    I ordered in via Grubhub so I can't say anything about the ambiance or service. What I can speak on is this beautiful chicken kabob bowl that arrived. The chicken is cooked to perfection and with a little or a lot of their garlic sauce over the top, I am in food heaven. My tastebuds are rejoicing. This chicken bowl is a blessing.

    At least a tablespoon of oil in the bottom of my Chicken Shawarma Bowl

    This is one of my absolute favorite places and I am disappointed! I came in here at 8:45 and they told me they were closed. I realize it's extremely close to closing time but when the outside time is posted as 9:00 pm then 9:00 pm it is. I worked fast food before and I know how it works.

    Expectation Lila Kabob

    Ordered Lula Kabob via Grub Hub. The portion sizes have drastically shrunk, but it got even worse. No onion, so green stuff, no spice. Dry AF. Pathetic. This should be illegal. They should be ashamed of sending out this

    Chicken Kabob Bowl

    I have been going to that restaurant at least once a week with no problem. Today I ordered my normal Beef Shawarma Bowl to go with extra dressing asides. When I got to the office, I noticed that the bag was really wet so I took out all items from the bag. There was juice/ dressing all over at my desk. I look at the salad bowl since the extra dressings were not the issue. Salad was fresh meats was okay but too much dressing. I drained out the dressing and mixed the salad then tried it. Too sour that can't eat and had to trash it. I called to let them know. The cashier was so rude. Instead of listen what Customer has to say he asked " Did you eat it? I said"yes, I have to take a few bites that how I know it is way too much of lemon juice". He then said "you ate it so what do you want me to do?" I told him that I just want you to know how was the salad so you will be aware of it. Nothing really bothers me than the tone of the voice. He gave me the name and told me that if I want to get compensated, he will do it for one time. I handed up the phone on him. I have nothing but good intentions but I fell insulted. Here is my point. 12 dollars will not break my bank. I want them to pay attention on what you put into the customer order. Well now because of the poor customer service, you just lost one customer. I will never go back there again

    Chicken Swarma Plate with hummus, rice, taziki, and bread. A very ample portion.
    John H.

    I've been to most of the Flame & Skewers in town. The California Ave. location is my favorite simply because it's bigger. While this Allen Rd. location is small, the service was very good. Robert took our order with a smile. We had the Chicken Swarma Plate with salad, rice, and hummus as sides. The chicken was very flavorful. The rice was cooked just the way I like it, moist and tender. The salad was good. I really enjoy the Persian cucumbers and the oil and vinegar dressing is tasty. Yes, it's small. The chairs are a little wobbly. The place is clean. I used the bathroom. It was well-stocked and clean. The food is good. Service is quick. We split that plate. Our meal-with tip- was $22, and we left satisfied. I think that's a good deal.

    1:10pm peak time, everyone and their grandma is here to eat. Temperature is cool Zane the cashier was very welcoming greeting me I ordered the chicken kebab combo and waited about 16 minutes. My sons were eating next-door, so I went to hang out with them and then, when I came back out to check out my food, Zane was looking for me. He was very courteous and helpful. Place was clean, tea was freshly brewed.

    Been years since we had gone into Flames & Skewers. Last time was at their downtown location. Well, we had received a gift card so we decided to try this location on Allen Rd. We were a group of three. Came by on a Sunday afternoon about 3pm. No other customer at the establishment so no line. We ordered some food to share. Flamin Fries, Chicken Wrap, Sweet Potato Fries, Beef Kabob, and regular fries. Each kind of the fries tasted 3 stars worthy. Both the Chicken Wrap and the Beef Kabob were underwhelming. Beef Kabob was very dry. Chicken Wrap was not very tasty, and the chicken tasted old and dry. Very disappointing! On a positive note, the restaurant was clean. Maybe we will give them another chance someday, but it won't be anytime soon.

Today, it was a solo early dinner for 1 while I ordered food for the family. Let's talk about the Meat Combo Platter - seriously, it's a carnivore's dream. I was able to taste both the beef kabob and chicken. Each cooked to perfection with its own unique flavor. I've never been a huge fan of grilled chicken but this one is an exceptional! It was so moist and flavorful! Definitely will order again... Now let's talk about the Salmon Platter. This has always been my go-to meal here. Rain or shine, salmon platter is my favorite jam here. The salmon is always so tender and flaky, ad absolutely irresistible. Oh by the way, if you're craving everything on their appetizer menu, you must definitely try the Appetizer Combo. The 3 types of hummus has their own unique flavors. The tziziki is my absolute favorite. Oh it also came mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and fresh tomato with a delicious pesto. I came around 4pm, no wait on grabbing a table or service (which by the way was always with a smile). Food is definitely worth the wait. You can taste the love in each bite. If you haven't tried this place yet, add Panini to your foodie bucket list.

It's a great little place, with a wide variety of interesting Greek style foods. My wife had the fig burger, which is NOT a vegetarian or vegan burger, like I originally thought. It's a real burger, a really good burger in fact, that has a fig jam spread on it. I had it on a previous visit, so I had to bring Kat so she could try it. The sweetness works great with the savory burger, and you can get Greek style lemon potatoes as your side if you like. Now, I'm not a fan of lemon in cooking, but these potatoes were really good. Fried potato chunks, cooked just right, and the lemon just added a tartness that works out really well. I got the chicken souvlaki platter, with two skewers of marinated and seasoned chicken, potatoes, and a nice salad with plenty of crumbly feta cheese.
