Went here as a first timer. The reviews are spot on. Food was good and man, a lot of it! Go hungry or be sure to take some home. The service was fine, but I think they must have hired a new waitress or she got the message from Sophia F.'s comment. The waitress was all alone but managed about 20 guests well. Very friendly and accommodating. My wife and I will definitely return as we both want to try more stuff. My wife had the Gyro sandwich and I had the Gyro platter. Very good. read more

The food itself is really good but honestly this location is very run down and super slow in service. If you are not getting a quick lunch menu item you will wait around an hour and a half for lunch! There is normally two maybe three people helping people which isn't many considering the place can seat 75 people probably but I've noticed that most people order to go and pick their food up read more

My first time here and it will be my last time, I was disappointed about the food quality here I seen much better Middle Eastern food then this place and was too expensive for the cheap quality they serve. I'll never return. read more

Tried this place because of the reviews. They are not wrong the food was great. And the service was very friendly and quick. Will be back. read more

This place has the best Middle Eastern food I've found in AZ. Ambiance inside is not the greatest but the food and friendly service completely makes up for it. Plus, they deliver which is amazing. Saganaki is delicious and my husband eats the Veggie Grape leaves by the handful. Their falafel is my personal favorite along with their beef shish kabob and rice. The combo for 2 is a great way to try a little bit of everything for a reasonable price. read more

Food has always been great, but they just jacked up their prices by 25% and got rid of their lunch menu. Sandwich special is now $7.41. Lunch entrees are now $11+. Value is gone. I'll be hitting up Gyro House from now on. read more

This place is wonderful. I love the food here. I usually get the rice almond salad with chicken. So yummy. Thank you for your friendly service. read more

These guys are amazing, great food and fun service. Try it you will like it, fresh Mediterranean cuisine Five-n-Diner style.

Shared the combo for two. So much food and it was all great. The shish kabob ordered medium rare was probably the standout. Topped with tzatziki it was phenomenal. $25 and it easily fed my wife and I with leftovers. Server was very nice and attentive. Atmosphere is super interesting. The building seemed to be a diner before, which I feel like made the whole experience more authentic. You can tell it was a small business working with what they could find and focusing on a good product. They also have a deal for a gyro or other sandwich with a side and drink for about $8. If it is anything like the food we had it is definitely worth stopping in on your lunch break for that deal. read more

My family and I enjoy this restaurant's food, it's the best Mediterranean food I have tried so far, every time we have guests at our home this is the first place we take to eat. read more

Thank you Flaming Kabob! Your food is always amazing, your customer service is top notch and above and beyond you treated my son to naan and tzatziki. So glad to have you within walking distance. I will be back for the shwarma! read more

Incredible food, great, relaxed environment! Friendly and fast service! Can't wait to visit again

Flaming Kabob is one of the few things I miss about living in Mesa, AZ. The BEST chicken kubideh I have ever had! I just can't find anything to compare (even in the DC area where I now live). I always got the rice instead of the french fries because it is sooo flavorful - tastes like they cook it with chicken stock and the golden raisins they add to it just makes it delish. Upgrade to the greek salad for a $1. The mango smoothie and hummus are also to die for! read more

I ordered the Gyro combo with fries. Gyro had a wierd taste to it that it almost tasting like Clorox for some reason. I dont know if the smell got into what the cook was making or if it was close to the grill. Whatever it was, I didn't finish it and I'm a big guy. The fries are frozen. No effort to even buy real potatoes, peel, and deep fry. They were underdone as well. For $7 I guess I should not complain to much but that place but another place down the street for $8 is fantastic and will always choose the other place. At least I tried it for you so you don't have to. I'm sure it's a family place and they are really nice as other reviewers have stated but this place will not last if they can get a gyro out in 2 minutes flat with fries. More effort is needed for fresh ingredients and fresh cut fries. read more

We searched our area for a place to go to dinner.. The 4 stars made the decision... So the Food was okay, not great- slightly burnt taste on everything. The menus and restaurant were dirty ... But then the service.... Basically sucked. First we go to order our entrees- out of the four or five different dishes they had available. Finally get to something they do have. Should have left. We finished eating and sat there for at least ten minutes, employees everywhere, I proceeded to wave my arms in the air for at least a minute,started clapping until someone was kind enough to walk ten steps to see what kind of emergency was taking place. Get the check. Finally. 50 bucks for two dinners and hummus. Look over while signing the check, big booger on the wall next to me, nice. Won't be going back. read more

I have traveled to the middle east and I have had many dishes in places as such as Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE etc.. and I found these people have it spot on. The food was fantastic! I give this place 4 stars on the food alone. The service was nice, The owner was very cordial, and the waitstaff were attentive. The food took time to get to the table. The crowd of muslims with the screaming, unruly children made it almost unbearable to have dinner. Our food was warm, the people that came in after us got thiers befor us and I was figuring our food would take a bit longer. Service was ok, the cleanliness was subpar. I want to really, really like this place. I guess with time and effort, this will be one of the best middle eastern/Mediterranean restaurant in the east valley. I love the food. that is all folks. read more

This review is limited because I've only had takeout. However, I have had a lot of takeout from here because it is so close to home and so good. My favorites are the pita sandwiches (they are all good), the hummus, and the lemon garlic chicken. My only complaint is the way they package the takeout. There's not anything wrong with it per se, but if they invested in something a little better than foil paper and styrofoam, it would go a long way in improving the take out experience. read more

Best authentic Mediterranean food around. Always have good service, large portions, decent prices and the food is amazing. Recommend grape leaves, hummus, gyros, and fatoosh. They do need to clean up the place as the building needs to be renovated and updated with decor with a good scrubbing, but don't let this fool you in how amazing the food is. read more

I love this place so much, been here a couple times the past months. The food is amazing and the customer service is great. Every time I've been here it was an awesome experience read more

Amazing. Wonderful food, excellent service, reasonable prices-- this should be on your must try list when in the area. Its located in a fifties-style diner building, complete with shiny metal exterior and space age interior. Admittedly, that's kind of weird, but don't let it scare you away. This is really great, really authentic middle eastern food. We got the dinner for two, which was really enough for two large mammals. This gave a sampling of many items, so we'd know what to order when returning. Standouts for me were the salad, hummus, beef kabob and the rice. I even liked the falafel, which I generally won't touch. My only regret is that they were out of grape leaves, that and I'm too stuffed to try dessert! read more

I go here once a week at least! Place is good.. the gyro special is always good. For a healthier option I get the gyro salad which is just as good! Try this place! read more

Saw the good reviews and decided to give it a try. They did not disappoint! The food was amazing. Salad was crisp and dressing prepared there. I had the lamb shish kabob and my boyfriend had the mixed grill. Was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious!! The rice served with dinners is sooo good!! They had left over rice pudding from a catering event and they gave us 2 servings for free. Thought I'd died and went to heaven. Service was great, polite and always checking on us. The place is not decorated at all. Don't let this stop you, it is truly the best lamb I've had in the East valley. We will be back to try a lot of other Greek favorites. read more

Food was delicious. Staff was quick and very accurate. Got their combo for two and it was a ton of food and great variety for the price. Will be back! read more

The service is great! They all are very welcoming and if the owner is available he takes the time to to come to the table and say hello. The food is great and always a friendly environment. Very well mannered. read more

Best hummus ever! Actually everything we get here is the best. The rice, salad, chicken swarma and bread. The woman who works here all the time is sweet and always knows what we want. A must try at least once! read more

Absolutely love this place! Authentic delicious and amazing customer service! There gyros remind me of the first gyro I ever had which started my love for trying new food. read more

If you plan on eating in make sure you have plenty of time. The service is friendly and nice but pretty slow. You have plenty to look at while you're waiting since it's in an old 5&Diner, but with Mediterranean decor added in... They even have hookah smoking available outside now. We usually order the dinner for two, to go. It's ready and waiting when we get there. It provides enough food for both of us to eat two full dinners, plus a little lunch for me later. Very yummy! read more

Sup, peeps! This place is the awesome. Moved in the neighborhood about 2 months ago and hit that place up about once a week or so. Sure it looks like an old school diner. Sure it's a little warm inside on hot summer days. The place is clean, service is cool and the food is the bomb. Faint of heart? Start with the lunch special. (: read more

How come it isn't in Trip Advisor? Excellent shawarma, and, surprise, the "flan", a southamerican desert, is the best in the valley. Great service, lovely super fresh, just made, food. read more

Food was good BUT the place was so filthy that I lost my appetite. It's an old 5 & diner restaurant, they haven't redecorated one ounce. You can literally scrape the dirt and grime off of the chairs, floor and walls. I can't imagine what the kitchen must look like! read more

We stopped here by chance, and I was hoping for some good food. Instead, I would say that this restaurant was fantastic! The women wore head scarves which I took as a great sign (down home cooking) and I was not disappointed. We ordered the combo for 2 (a steal at 24.99). A huge green Salad and hummus with pita were brought first; both were delicious. Next was the plate with everything else; kibbeh, beef and chicken kifteh, beef and chicken kabob, chicken shawarma, falafel and grape leaves. It wAs all tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I wish we had one on the Westside of town!!! Highly recommend this restaurant for a fresh and very delicious change. read more

Camouflaged as a 5 and diner, this place will make your tastebuds breakdance!! Its been far too long since I've been to the tempe location so I'm a born again fanboy!! I can't go wrong with the sampler for two or a quality gyro or schwarma for only 5 bucks. Serious chomps on top of five star service. I had to take at least one star away for funky restrooms, so i hope thats not a complete deal breaker when selecting your nexr eatery. read more

Terrific Restaurant. Take the time to stop here, the food and service is amazing. The Family combo is the way to go.

Lovely little place. Don't let the 50's diner look throw you off. You can't be super judgemental of the appearance either. These are the kinds of foreign food places that are the best. Excellent service and seriously incredible food. I'm even a fan of the middle eastern music they play! It's really nice to get a taste of another country like theirs. read more

Flaming Kabob - Yummy stuff! - Mediterranean Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I love the chicken lemon rice soup. This is a awesome family owned restraunt. It is a little more expensive then other places in town, but the flavor and quality of food is worth it. read more

The food here is GREAT! I love their gyros. Not the most decorative, as it used to be a diner, but the service was awesome.

Stumbled upon this gem yesterday and I'll definitely be returning! Their Homous and vegetable grape leaves had my mind blown! Can't wait to get back there and indulge in their baba ganoush and spinach pie. If you are looking for authentic and flavorful Mediterranean food, this place is a must! read more

My husband and I love this place when we are craving something fresh, healthy, filling, and soo yummy. We like to order the Flaming Kabab combo for two and it's a great sampler of all their delicious meats. Their hummus is so incredible I could eat it with a spoon. The owner/cook came out and talked to us he is very kind and he really cared about our dining experience. read more

My husband and I have eaten here a number of times and the food has always been wonderful. The service is great as well and the pricing is very reasonable. read more

placed a take out order (2 gyro ''sandwiches'', chicken shwarma, hummus and some baklava)...got there to pick it up and it seemed like if there's more than 2 people eating there, the whole staff gets flustered and doesn't know what's going on. Sat there waiting for 15 minutes (even though my order was done and waiting) until they took care of the eat-in diners. Long story short: crappy service BUT awesome food. The gyros were stuffed to the max, the chicken was cooked perfectly, the hummus was bomb, and the baklava was a great ending. I'll definitely go back, but it will always be a take-out scenario, because again, the service seemed to suck. read more
