A beautiful restaurant with a very friendly & welcoming owner and delicious food. I'm a sucker for locally-owned restaurants because they are usually leagues better than chains, and Flames is no different. Everything is fresh, seasoned, flavorful, and generously portioned. You'll have leftovers for days! I can't wait to go back. Amazing place read more

Ambiance- Spacious for large parties, nice cultural decor. Good cleanly restrooms. 4/5 Service- Cordial, not overly attentive, management & staff engaged in staffing conversations publicly to include their personal phone calls while on duty. Customers requesting a to-go box were not accommodated due to supply issues and reserved for upcoming event. So you may be forced to finish your food to preserve your order or may need to bring your own supplies. 3/5 Food- I was extremely disappointed with this experience because this particular cuisine is one of my all-time favorites. We appreciate the complimentary hummus & bread however the flavors & texture is not what I have been accustomed to. The pita bread tasted commercial & over saturated with butter. Our side dish was not appetizing, cranberries on rice tasted canned (so much rice!) & main dish protein was undercooked. 2.5/5. Thankful for this One & Done experience. Gave it a try on the long shot that its under-patronage was due to location. If you can hold off, save your ME appetites for the DFW area. Hope this helps. Save yourself money & time. *GO to Athena's* read more

The place looked big with lots of room. Went on a Friday night and there wasn't many people there. The location is in a weird spot so probably would suggest better advertising to get people to know about the place. Service was nice. Food is a little pricey but it is so good and worth it. I just wish my dish had a tiny salad or something to come with it but overall everything was great and delicious! read more

I give it a solid four stars. The food was good and the service was all. I can expect nothing about. It was truly exceptional, but a nice lunch with a typical Mediterranean at atmosphere. read more

Flames Mediterranean Restaurant - Chicken and beef with rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

This is the 2nd to order delivery. Sadly both times we have been disappointed. Meat/protein portions are very small for the price, and rice was a bit dry. Really wanted to like the food because I love Mediterranean food! But it's just not what we were hoping for. read more

I came here on Saturday to hear a friend's band sing at a Red River Revel fundraiser. I had never been here before and was very surprised to see so much variety on the menu. I'll definitely return for some of their Persian soups. The service that Charmain provided was lovely. The atmosphere is amazing, too. read more

Flames Mediterranean Restaurant - Flame combo with Cranberry Rice sub chicken instead of the steak - Mediterranean Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

Three of us went to celebrate birthdays Loved the ambiance, soft mu that didn't overwhelm the conversation Food was ok but nothing special. I got salmon (4 small square), vegetables that was onions and bell peppers Only Both of the guys got shrimp and steak Steak was dry and everyone's rice was dry For the price- I was very disappointed read more

This was the worst food I've had in a long time . We got takeout. First, it is overpriced. The hummus was inedible, and the pita bread was even terrible. I got the wrong meal, which was two dry, salty ground beef logs, with no sauce, over a bed of very dry and tasteless rice. No way they stay open. read more

I ordered salmon n shrimp. Be prepared to get mostly rice. The veggies are mostly bell peppers and onions. Not worth $25. Rice was even dry...sad cuz I wanted to like it. Won't be going back even though the owner was very nice. read more

True Persian food. High quality ingredients, service, and cooking. I really appreciated how professional and smooth the environment feels. I will definitely be back to check out more of their menu. You know the restaurant is excellent given the owner cooks and runs the restaurant himself. read more

Stopped here to enjoy a lunch with my hubby! Restaurant is very big! Besides the two of us, there was only one other party there. Restaurant looks like it's great for groups! They even have a large outdoor area! Service was very friendly and accommodating. Alicia was our waitress and she's was great! The food was below our expectations. Their house hummus with pita that's served complimentary was not good. We " doctored" it up with salt and chili pepper flakes. The problem with their pita is that it's not authentic and gets really tough in texture quickly after it's served and sits there. I ordered a Persian salad and the dressing was off and lacked the depth in Mediterranean flavor you crave. I could only taste lemon and nothing else. Husband had a green salad with their ranch and it tasted like it came from a bottle and not homemade. We each had the kubedeh combo plate with rice. The beef kabob was perfectly seasoned and cooked! The chicken was made with ground chicken and was too mushy in texture. Rice was fine. Best thing about our lunch experience here was our waitress, Alicia. read more

Ordered takeout. So disappointed in my meal here. I have been spoiled by all the amazing Persian restaurants in ATL and NY where I grew up. The hummus was the biggest disappointment of all. I love a few extra garlic cloves but this was totally inedible and acrid. The Beef Kubideh just tasted like salt and pepper. The Chenjeh was cooked well. I requested rare and it was juicy and moist. However, again, so underwhelmed by the lack of seasoning. It just tasted like garlic, salt and pepper. Portions are large but the ratios are off. As other people have said, there is way too much rice, and the rice is undercooked. read more

Loved the food, the ambience and service! We ordered a lot of food and spent $50! Our server was very nice and accommodated requests about our orders. The baklava was amazing! It is home-made and you don't want to miss it. read more

We saw this place one morning on KSLA Tasty Tuesday and had to check it out. There's no doubt that we're glad we did. It was so nice to try something different from the norm. Our waitress did a wonderful job of familiarizing us with the menu and making suggestions. Everything was made to perfection Aside from my main course, my favorite item was the eggplant dip in the appetizer trio... so well done and full of flavor. I am pretty sure I put what was left over after the bread on my meat. Enjoy a lovely lunch/dinner with family, and friends, or a solo wine date here. The decor is beautiful and soft music playing levels up the experience that much more. Thank you Flames for an amazing visit. read more

An abundance of excellent tasting food. The owner is very attentive to customer needs and is instilling that same level of service in his staff. read more

The food was served good and hot. The portions are generous. There really isn't a bad choice when it comes to their meats but I was surprised by their rice...it was really good. I think the food is a 5 but the atmosphere was average at best. The servers are always friendly but sometimes a little inexperienced. I've been a couple of times and will definitely go back. read more

The ambience is incredible. Nice and spacious restaurant with adequate staffing. However the food tastes like nothing. If you are to get a dish, I would suggest no rice. The rice was hard and crunchy. The vegan lentil soup was okay. The bread appetizer was very stale. However, hugs to the chef. It's a very good concept. I just hope reviews are being listened to. read more

We had been wanting to try this restaurant for the longest but it was very disappointing. Start with the good service was great! They have a huge selection of rare liquor and wine and the abundance was beautiful. The food was very different and not impressive. Chicken and steak were dry and there is way more rice on every plate than one person can eat. It's not worth the price you pay. read more

Flames Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

The amber sconces adorning the elegant wall decor highlight the beautiful, custom designed glass creating a comfortable, elegant, and fun dining experience. The staff is exceptionally friendly and outgoing - it gives you the feeling that they really like being there. From the hostess to the owner they made us feel at home. The owner spent time with us and his personal pride in his restaurant really shined through. Our server, Kaiden, was the best! She was so helpful, charming, and personable that we would make the trek to this place just for her. The food. PERFECT. They made recommendations based on our preferences and everyone in our party was completely happy with what we ordered (definitely choose the cranberry rice). A big thank you to the owner (I forgot his name) for his time with us and his very inspirational stories. Another big thank you to Kaiden for being Kaiden. read more

Flames Mediterranean Restaurant - One of the beautiful seating areas. - Mediterranean Near Me - Shreveport, Louisiana

This is a relatively new restaurant that is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. We went on a slow week night and were warmly greeted by the staff. I love Persian food and have had a lot of it and this did not disappoint. Portions were great and they gave a variety of rices to choose from with the entrees. Cool that they had an open bar as well to choose from. It was cold so we had the Persian hot tea. Will come through again! read more

This place is stunning when it comes to architecture and ambiance. The service and owner is probably in the top 3 as far as professionalism, cleanliness, friendliness and actually cares about his food and patrons. I always get the shrimp and salmon Kabobs with 3 rices and the Greek salad. This is also a great place to have holiday, and other celebrations! The bar is fully stocked with high end spirits from wine, scotch, vodka.. This is one place that needs more local support. 2 patios are amazing ! read more

The food was delicious, Mediterranean. I'll be back again to there for a try something more and more read more

We have had take out and ate in the restaurant. The quality of the food has been 5 stars each time we have been there and when others have been there from our recommendations. Other than the food the owner is there everyday. I believe that to be a big part of success. This place can be whatever you want it to be.

Stopped in for lunch today for the first time. YUM! Awesome food, great service, and ambiance is on point. This hidden gem will be on our list of favorites. Who knew tart cherries would work so well with saffron rice?!? read more

Wonderful staff and owner that is accommodating and friendly. Pricing is very fair. Lots of free parking. Decor and ambiance is perfect with a huge dining area. Portions are great. My favorite restaurant in Shreveport. I love that they give complementary pita and dips in addition to the side order options of Persian stews. I recommend their beef soltani with white rice (it is served with a grilled tomato). I highly recommend this place. read more

Being generous. I think it's more 3 stars. Anyways had a complimentary starter of bread and 3 dips and wine cause they don't have liquor license right now. Raised the star for that. Liked the cucumber dip which is good on a lot of things so don't eat it all. Wanted the lamb shank but they didn't have it. It's not cause they were busy and ran out. Ordered the two meat instead with cranberry rice. The steak was just steak nothing special but the ground beef had great flavor and tender. Rice cooked right and plenty of it. Also had the #12. Rice again is nice and flavorful the eggplant soup or whatever was ok. Service was good. read more

Wonderful first experience. Not just our server but two other staff members as well were attentive, friendly and well versed with the menu. In so many places the food on the website is much more appealing than the presentation but EVERYTHING we had was beautifully presented. Portions were generous and cooked appropriately whether it was eggplant, beef or even the cranberry rice. Nothing was over or under done. The pistachio ice cream was pleasantly sweet and the dill rice was surprisingly subtle. My other half is not typically a fan of Mediterranean cuisine but was the first one of our group to enthusiastically mention returning. read more

This was really good. I was not sure what to expect..if you want a different flavor to familiar food (like rice, chicken, steak lamb & grilled veggies) try this place. It's good food, huge portions & an awesome mix of spices and flavors that mix things up a bit. It is off the beaten path but definitely worth a try! I don't remember the names of the dishes but I did label my pictures with the menu numbers! Break out of the norms and Go show them some support! read more

If you like kabobs, this is your place. Soft opening so they are still working out the service kinks (took a while for food). The complimentary trio of dips and bread is great (especially the humus). Also recommend the marinated chicken and steak cubes (shishleek kabobs) I plan on returning. read more

Just no! I usually don't write bad reviews. But..... The pictures looked amazing but the meat was nasty. They probably marinated like two seconds prior serving us. I wouldn't recommend. You will probably get the most flat meat and up to three pieces with about 2 lbs of rice. read more
