Flame Kebob House 986 Easton Ave. Somerset, NJ 08873 Chicken Kebob Platter Experience the best of three worlds! This variety entrée comes with three types of chicken with a different marination: * Chicken tikka (the reddish color ) * Chicken kofta (the long piece) * Malai tikka (2 pairs) The boneless chicken was tender and juicy. The multiple dipping sauces also added a blend of heat and spice. I wasn't a fan of the side salad, but this type of salad is typically included with Halal platters. #flamekebobhouse #somersetnj #chickenkebobplatter #chickentikka #chickenkofta #melaitikka read more

Small place,really cute and cozy. You can dine in or order for pickup. I ordered mild wings and mozzarella sticks. I wanted to try the baba ghanoush, but unfortunately, they had run out. The staff was nice and friendly; the guy who took my order was polite and helpful. As for the food, it was okay,nothing amazing, but definitely edible. I'd recommend it if you're in the area and looking for a quick, casual bite. read more

Zinger Burger - This isn't your average burger. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor -- it hits that sweet spot between spicy and savory. Every bite had me reaching for more. It's easily one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Philly Cheesesteak - Tender slices of perfectly seasoned meat with gooey melted cheese and just the right amount of peppers and onions. Honestly, this cheesesteak rivals some of the big city sandwich shops -- all at a fraction of the price. Kabobs - Whether it's chicken, or beef, the kabobs here are next level. The meat is juicy and well-marinated, grilled to perfection, and served with fresh sides that really complete the meal. - not greasy at all. service was excellent and the ambiance is so cool. Thank you again for an amazing experience read more

Very tasty middle eastern food that is not greasy yet the meat is tender and fresh. We fed 6 adults and 3 kids with leftovers to spare by getting a chicken gyro platter, lamb gyro platter and a family kebab combo platter. The price was great and everything was delicious. The sauces are great too. The white sauce and the spicy red sauce allowed for delicious customizations. My favorite was probably the kebab platter as it was spicy, juicy and had a hint of charcoal flavor. The workers are very friendly people too. read more

This is the best place around so far in my search for chicken gyro platters. Would recommend.

Veggie Bolani & kabobs are delicious! The Bolani appetizer can be filling, however, so be careful not to fill up before your entree! Service is exemplary! read more

I would probably try it a second time. I got a gyro platter to go. Meat was good, veg was acceptable, but the rice was diffferent. I was expecting the yellow rice you'd get at Halal Guys and this was seasoned like Pakistani and Uzbek rice (cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins). Not bad, just not what my brain was expecting. read more

Ive been here a few times and they were still good. Now theyre just plain Rude. These guys let me wait 10 min on line. I was the only one on the restaurant. I got there around 1145am. Let me wait till 1155. The customer on the phone had alot of orders but the worker couldnt even tell me sorry for the wait. All he sqw was $$$$ from the other customer. Took this guy who look like he doesn't even work there another 5 min to answer another phone call before helping me out. I couldnt believe it They never apologized for the wait. Terrible customer service. Now that they are more popular, they don't care about you anymore. No etiquette at all. Terrible. The guy behind the register needs alot of work. The food is just mediocre in my opinion. I just needed a quick bite and it ended up having me lost 15 min of my life i will never get back. They're lucky they're the only afghan place in the area. I would rather go to Efes or Sahara or even Mamouns down the street in New Burnswick. You get much better staffing and great quality food. And they're quick. Like I said the guy behind the register look like he just woke out of bed. read more

5 Stars This is hands-down my go-to spot for kebabs and gyros. I come here all the time and they never miss. The staff is incredibly friendly--always welcoming, and it feels more like a neighborhood gathering spot than just a restaurant. You can tell they really care about the community. The food? Always fresh, always flavorful, and 100% halal. I usually go for the mixed gyro--perfect balance of tender meat and bold spices. The spicy chicken tenders are another favorite: they're made fresh to order, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of heat. If you're looking for a place with consistent quality, warm service, and a community-driven vibe, this is it. Highly recommend. read more

We were invited to this restaurant. Our friend mentioned that he would order for us and that it is made fresh. It will take 45 min from order to table. Since our friend lived closer to the restaurant he would order. When we arrived at the restaurant we waited for less than 10 min. The portions are huge and the food is fresh and tasty. We also ordered dessert. Rice pudding and baklava. Delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My go to spot for Halal food. The food is always fresh and this place never disappoints. Highly recommend

Tried this place today for the first time. Prices are reasonable. I got a chicken gyro platter. The food was good not amazing. I felt like i very little meat and a giant plate of rice. Rather pay $1.50 More and get less rice read more

I ordered from Flame Kabob House once before and they had something for all of us (my kids are rather picky). The gyros were fantastic, as was the chicken tikka pita. Winds were tasty and masala fries were well seasoned. The restaurant is small so mostly do takeout, but it's clean and the staff was quick and polite. read more

I thought the food here was really delicious. I got fish tikka. The rice was oily but very flavorful and it had some raisins and sweet carrots in it. I did not mind it being oily. The fish was not oily and was cooked perfectly. It was soft and melted in my mouth, but crispy on the outside. It was spiced well. Overall, I really liked the food and it seemed pretty authentic. read more

First time going into this restaurant and also my last time too. It's a major disappointment the food was too oily and the chicken wasn't cooked , no flavor at all. The bottles for the sauces was dirty and some fruit flies came out from one of the sauce bottle. The bathroom was disgusting, needs deep cleaning. read more

Got the fish gyro plate and the falafel with kabuli. Everything was fresh and tasty, i highly recommend the fish gyro plate

Food here was so good. The salad was really fresh. The meat was really juicy and flavourful and felt like authentic Afghan food with the kabuli rice. We got the Lamb Chops and Chicken Chapli kabobs and scarfed it down so fast. Their sauces were also super good especially the green one. Side note:I'm putting 4 stars because I ordered through Grubhub and when I got there the owner told me next time to just call the order in because it's cheaper for both the restaurant and customer. So just note that their actual prices are cheaper than the Grubhub ones if you usually order through apps. I also ordered a an extra side on Grubhub that cost $3 extra, but it was not included in my order, so that was a bit frustrating. read more

Extremely disappointing... Did a takeout - and got the wrong order - stone cold! When we called in the mistake, the guy on the phone was rude and unwilling to acknowledge the mistake. One star, too much. Never again... read more

So good. We went back two days in a row. Fresh ingredients and quick service. I can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent kebabs and such friendly customer service. I was craving kebabs and decided to try them out. I wanted a custom kebab platter with chicken tikka, chicken kofta and chicken chapli. It wasn't on their menu but the person behind the counter gladly accommodated my request. The food came out piping hot and I couldn't wait to eat so I sat and ate half the platter in my car. It was so good, the meat was all so tender and flavorful. The rice itself was light and fluffy and tasted great on its on. The carrots and raisins added some sweetness. The white sauce was bomb and the green and hot sauce added some extra flavor. Overall, a great experience. The owners were very friendly and inviting. I will be back many more times. read more

Flame Kabob House - 7. Mixed Platter (chicken tikka, chicken kofta and chicken chapli) AMAZING - Halal Near Me - Franklin Township, New Jersey

Looking to satisfy our overdue Afghani food cravings, me and my sister tried Flame Kabob House. Walking in the restaurant was very bright with ambient light and extremely clean. We ordered two starters and both were delicious. The extremely tasty Banjan Borani had large slices of perfect slightly firm eggplant coated with a tangy and thick tomato sauce coupled with a contrasting rich yogurt sauce. Our second appetizer was the excellent vegetable Bolani. The pastry was slightly crisp, and contained a delicious potato, scallion, and tomato filling. Onto the entrees.......... My lamb chop platter (#6 on the menu) was three well sized chops that were tender, just fat enough, and seasoned nicely. A small gripe was that I wish a bit more of a sear was on the chops. My sister's chose the Beef & Chicken Kabob platter (#8 on the menu) and was rewarded as each kabob was delicious. The beef was more notable; especially beefy tasting, perfectly seasoned, and so tender. Equally, the chicken was so tender, and the only missing element was robust flavor found in the beef kabob. Both of us agreed that the Kabuli Palau (FYI....I've noticed there is no proper spelling for this dish, as I've seen it spelled numerous ways) was one of the best versions we've eaten; cooked to a perfect texture and strong with cinnamon and clove flavor. Both the carrot strips and raisins added a delectable sweetness. Another important component were the excellent trio of sauces. The green chutney-like sauce had a pleasing level of heat coupled with a robust cilantro herbal flavor. The red sauce was the surprise of the trio; spicy with a serious hit of honey-like sweetness that I loved. Finally, the ubiquitous white sauce was superb; enjoyably thick (not watered down), a bit creamy, and properly tart......so addicting! Service was very professional and cordial too. If you are a fan of Afghani food, or just looking for a unpretentious, tasty and filling meal, Flame Kabob House is a definite destination. read more

I have a husband who doesn't play when it comes to chicken shish kababs on his rice. They made it cook and it looked so good! The guy was kind and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and nice place to sit for some lunch! read more

Food had great taste and the take out portions were big. Probably the best falafel I have had.

I ordered take out from Flame Kabob House tonight and the food was great! I will definitely try this place again and swing in when I'm not too lazy to get up and drive. The mixed gyro platter was delightful. The rice was cooked great and the food was very flavorful. The hot wings were good - probably too much to eat all together, but definitely tasty. read more

Checked out this place as it is new to the neighborhood. Ordered to go so cant comment on eat in service. It is new so it is clean. 2 people working there when I went. Other customers were waiting for take out. We ordered 2 platters, a chicken and a beef. Both came with salad and bread, 3 different sauces came with the order. The chicken quarter was on the smaller side. The beef was better in portion though was a bit dry. Flavor was above average. Glad I tried it but not sure I would go back as there are other food options with better portion and taste in that price range. read more

I am a big fan of chicken gyro and that is the only thing i have tried here. I work in the City and so i have pretty much tried all the "must-try" places in and around city as well as in the New Brunswick area (since this is where i live). Having said that, Flame Kabob House did not disappoint at all. High quality & fresh food and very friendly people behind the counter. I have already ordered take out at least a few times before writing this review and was happy every time. I wish the hot sauce was slightly more hot rather than sweet/sour, but the chicken was very juicy and cooked to perfection so no complaints. So far i have interacted to three different people behind the counter and was extremely happy with their customer service. I hope more and more people in the neighborhood try their food so that we can finally get this place busier--which might be a challenge since it is kind of hidden in a huge shoppping complex that is not very active and busy. I will continue to order from here regularly. Cheers! read more

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE. I went 2 weeks ago. Then ....I've been there twice in the last 2 days. Thursday after poker I went - and then Friday I insisted the Wife go with me and we were both thrilled. Service ****** EXCELLENT. The young man who is usually at counter is so approachable, and friendly. Handles simple requests with a smile - a "no problem" attitude when many restaurants of - certain genres - get all rough and defensive. He's conscientious. It's mostly a counter service place - but his service is great and I hope they don't change. Appearance ********** Place is bright, welcoming and very clean on all 3 of my visits. Haven't used the washroom so can't comment. But you can bet I'm driving 20 over to get home after eating all the delicious spices and onions here to avert a bathroom emergency. I have a weak digestive system and flavorful foods get me to Defcon 1 real fast. If you're reading this right before eating your lunch, well dear reader, haha on you. Food **** Beef Kofta: Oh my Holy Geebus it's so good. Tender, lightly spices and flavorful. I try to eat it slow just so it won't run out. Chicken Kabob: Not a big chicken guy but these are on point. I enjoy them with the white sauce and the chick pea side is awesome - as good as 'whole' at an Indian restaurant - perhaps better. Salads are cool and crisp and fresh. Any beefs? ********* NOPE. Minor wishes: It's very hot right now in July so perhaps it's hard but I wish they'd keep it a tad cooler inside and also, sweet brown chutney would be a welcome condiment though I know it's not common with this food. OVERALL, MARVELOUS restaurant. I'll be here regularly and I hope they don't change things. read more

Flame Kabob House - May not be best quality picture, but I was going to have a wedding night with this plate and I was in a hurry! - Halal Near Me - Franklin Township, New Jersey

Walked in around 1:30 pm after hiking. I ordered a #1, friend ordered #4. Enough for 2 meals for me. Great flavors! We waited in the restaurant, but they advised us to call ahead next time! Better for takeout than dine in, but they do have tables if you just can't wait to eat your Afghan food! read more

Customer Service is horrible, food prices are ridiculous for the amount of food they provide. Charged an additional $2 for carrots and raising me and literally they give me a sprinkle of carrots and I struggle to find raising on my kid gyro platter combo. Kabab paradise in bound brook is a much better place. Fantastic customer service, food prices are great for the food quality and amount of food they provide. read more

Nice to see yet another addition Halal Restsurant in the Easton Avenue corridor. This place is located in Rutgers Plaza (same shopping center as Stop & Shop). Plenty of parking available and there is seating for about 30 people here. Food is made fresh when you order so expect about half an hour wait. The hamburger was really good and grilled well. The Philly Cheesesteak was one of the better ones I've had in the area. The gyro sandwich is a mess to eat. It fell apart pretty easily. Had to eat it with a fork. If you are calling in your order make sure you call this location and not the one in Neptune. read more

Buyers Beware!! Customers using their debt card be aware that they will ask you to pay an extra purchasing fee or was it just me they asked to pay an extra fee of 50 cent to use my debit master card? The exact same card I use every single time I make a purchase. Nope, NO THANK yuuu!! I will take my business elsewhere I wasn't that hungry nor desperate! This is the Flame Kabob House next to the Dollar Tree. As I was shopping at the dollar tree, I asked one of the employee, have you tried out Flame Kabob? He replied yes, the food was ok and is a little expensive. So I decided to go try out their fish sandwich. As I was getting ready to pay with my debt card, the cashier asked, do you have cash? I replied, no. He then said, it will be 50 cents extra if you use your debt card. I said, nope and I use a merchant machine also for my customers. I politely walked out and took my business elsewhere. I know the game some of these businesses play. You have a monthly fee or sometime a fee to pay the merchant teller every time you have a sale. There is no way in hell you are going to charge me to use my debit while buying something from your establishment to cover your merchant cost. As a successful business owner myself; that uses merchant machines. I don't charge customers extra to use their debit or credit card to cover for my merchant cost expensive. I know the business. I'm no fool and shame on those dishonest business owner that do. This is one place I will never buy from. read more
