Contextually speaking, the best Turkish restaurant around. The staff is super pleasant, kind, considerate, and very welcoming. The food is really good. The lentil soup, grape leaves, baklava, and the chicken shish all really hit the spot. Definitely my go to place going forward when in the area. The ambiance was also very nice and good traditional feel. read more

Turkish Flame Mediterranean Restaurant - Turkish Near Me - Indian Rocks Beach, Florida

We came here for a last minute dinner in Indian Rocks Beach. Here's what we thought. Atmosphere: The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was nicely decorated on the inside. It was nice and clean. Service: We were seated right away for a table of 4 on a Friday night. The lady on the phone recommended a restaurant but we definitely did not need one. I'm not sure if it's busier on other weekends but it seems you can walk in and easily get a table. All the staff was so friendly! Food: We got their 'Homemade Rolled Cheese Pies' as an appetizer. We really liked them. They were flavorful and not greasy. The tzatziki had delicious flavor. I got their 'Lamb Casserole' dish for my entree, it was good but I think the dough that covered the dish was too burnt. The food is very good for the area! The prices are a bit high but that seems to be normal for any restaurant near the beach. We did receive complimentary Turkish tea at the end of our meal which was a nice touch. This is a great place for a nice dinner at the beach. You can walk across the street and access the beach for a nice walk or sunset. read more

TURKISH FLAME 'Step out of the Ordinary.' "Absolutely incredible! Turkish Flame is hands down one of the best dining spots in Indian Rocks Beach. Their motto should be - 'Step out of the Ordinary.' The authentic Mediterranean and Turkish flavors are packed with robust spices. I highly recommend trying the Lamb Casserole! It features tender pieces of lamb, slow-cooked with vegetables and Turkish spices, and it is served right in a clay pot, as well as the baked hummus with homemade pizza bread. A special shoutout to our delightful servers, Ece and Merve! They truly made our lunch special. They were genuinely warm and enthusiastic, and they took the time to explain the different authentic selections. They are located at 2699 Gulf Blvd in Indian Rocks Beach, FL, and they are open daily from 11 AM to 4 PM. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cozy, and the hospitality is outstanding. Highly recommend!" read more

Drove along Gulf Boulevard, looking for a place to eat on a Friday evening and ended up at this place. We went in based on yelp reviews so thank you my fellow yelpers for your recommendations Walked in the restaurant and found this cute Little Place with decent amount of seating. But it was nice outside, so we decided to dine in alfresco. We started off with a baba ghanoush and their pizza bread is to die for. You must try their pizza bread!! I had the falafel salad, and my husband had the lamb Adana. Both were delicious. Service was so quick that we got our food in no time. We had no room for dessert so we'll have to come back and try their desserts next time! I highly recommend this place, great service and food was delicious! read more

What a fantastic experience! I had expert guidance when I had questions about the menu and about which wine to order with my dinner. I was super happy with both of the choices. Food came out quickly and even though they had a large party I did not feel neglected at all! I ordered the lamb kebab and have enough leftovers tomorrow! So glad I tried this place out read more

Turkish Flame 5 Stars- This was a great find. Came to a wedding in Clearwater and I had a free day before flying back to New York. I usually trust the overall ratings on Yelp & Google and the reviews were spot on. We were greeted by Ece pronounced "AJ". She was amazing and I thought she was one of the owners. She was attentive, made great suggestions like our appetizer warm hummus. She took us through a dinner journey that made us want to try more dishes on the menu. Coincidentally, chef Bora hosted a Yelp Elite event recently and Ece told me all about it. She was very proud of the restaurant and we were treated to complimentary Turkish tea and Babaganusj. Portions are a good size, prices are fair, service was AMAZING, the restaurant is nicely decorated and has a beautiful copper ceiling, Turkish lamps and has a good number of tables indoor with a few tables outdoor. The restaurant is also very clean right down to the bathrooms. They also have about 5 parking spots available outside as parking seems to be a premium here. The menu is fairly extensive with appetizers, house specials, entrees, salads, sides, soups and desserts. They have both Turkish and American beverages. The chicken shish-kabob was very moist and tender. It was served in pita with rice and salad. For desert we had the Kunefe. Which was excellent. I highly recommend it. Coming from New York City, our Turkish restaurants set a high bar. Turkish Flame definitely delivered. I would highly recommend them and will be back the next time I'm in the Tampa/Clearwater area. I will go as far to say, they set a high standard for any restaurant in the area. read more

SOLID 5 STARS! The Feta Cheese Platter ($12.95) is worth a visit all by itself. The best Feta I've ever had, and I've tried domestic and imported sheep, goat, and cow feta. The table service is exceptional, and Chef Bora takes pride in all his creations. read more

Turkish Flame is amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by name and made to feel like I was royalty. Special thanks to Abdullah and the wonderful staff for treating me so well. I love the atmosphere of the indoor and outdoor seating areas. It's one block from the beach. I tried the baked hummus with sausage and the chef's special, and both were full of incredible flavor. The Turkish sparkling water and black tea were a perfect touch. I'll definitely be back for dinner soon! read more

This is small restaurant in Indian Rocks beach that has both indoor and outdoor seating. They do have a small parking lot that accommodates roughly 5-6 vehicles. So if it's a busy day you may need to find public parking. I was fortunate enough to grab a spot in their lot right in front of the restaurant. The meatball platter was delicious! The meat and rice were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor, it was paired with a salad that had a light dressing but full of flavor. They also have a wide variety of wines. Service was fast and friendly. We never had to ask for a water refill they anticipated the needs of the table. We ended our meal with a Turkish coffee that was strong and delicious! Exactly what you want in a Turkish coffee. My friend got a tea and she said that was also delicious. Overall I highly recommend stopping into this small family owned business and showing support for business in the community. read more

Came here for the Kunefe but ate so much more. Their kabobs are delicious and seems like a popular place for their pots... admittedly not a fan of those pot pies , but mainly cause it was filled with green and red peppers. Not my thing but a thing for plenty. Great service, they have Turkish tea in the tulip glasses. But the star of the show was the Kunefe hands down so if you want a delightful dessert, this is the place for a unique tasting. Reasonably quiet, there's a nice bar top and a cute dining area. read more

I spent the Saturday afternoon enjoying the Yelp Elite event at the lovely Turkish Flame! I tried the babaghanoush and lamb shish kebab. The meal reminded me of my time in Europe and I highly enjoyed the set up of the appetizers set up with a cold section and hot section. I wish I had room for the oven hot hummus but will be back to try. The staff were very accommodating and the atmosphere inside was lovely and quaint. Thank you for Chef Bora for the invite and will mostly come back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

I had the pleasure of attending a Yelp Elite event at Turkish Flame in Indian Rocks and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. We tried the baba ghanoush, falafel salad, lentil soup, and chicken shish kebab and every single dish was bursting with authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. You can truly taste the freshness and care that goes into each plate. The atmosphere was warm and inviting thanks to the staff members. Chef Bora is not only an incredibly talented chef but also such a genuine and kind person who clearly loves what he does. In my opinion this is the best local restaurant around and a true hidden gem in Indian Rocks. I cannot wait to come back. read more

This place is a must try in my book. I was visiting from California and my family decided to stop by for the first time. I was blown away from the amount of selections they have. From various kebabs and delightful seafoods it's hard to decide. The staff absolutely amazing!!! Incredibly friendly attentive and extremely helpful when it came to making a selection but most of all surprised me for my own birthday. The food was incredible and filling, be sure to come hungry cause the starting bread alone will have you munching until the end. I recommend if you have enough people do the grilled house special. Worth every moment. read more

Turkish Flame Mediterranean Restaurant - House special shrimp - Turkish Near Me - Indian Rocks Beach, Florida

We went to Turkish Flame and we were pleasantly surprised. From the outside, it looks very small, but don't let that fool you, when you walk inside, it is like you are transported to Istanbul, Turkey. The atmosphere is beautiful and authentic. All of their food id Halal. The food was amazing and delicious. The meat had a smokey flavor and was seasoned to perfection. We had the smokey eggplant (babaganoush) appetizer and it was served with warm bread. We weren't sure what to order because everything looked amazing so we ordered the mixed grill, because it has so many different meats to eat. It also came with fresh hit fries, bread, rice and salad. It also came with an impressive flame, in the middle of the platter. It was more food than the four of us could eat so we had plenty to take home. We finished our meal with some hot Turkish tea. The servers were friendly and attentive and constantly filled our drinks. I can't believe that we didn't try this place sooner, we will be back soon! read more

No words to describe the amazing flavors! Delicious is just a start! I recommend reservations as there is limited seating especially if for an indoor spot. It is decorated like a garden and has a quaint intimate, feel on the inside. The staff were lovely and very gracious in explaining meal options. We ordered some of the house wines which were from Turkey, and absolutely the perfect choice ! For appetizers we had the yogurts labna as well as a Greek salad and lavash bread . I could have eaten those things and been perfectly satisfied because they were ample portions, and the flavors were exploding in my mouth. I loved the authentic flavors used in the labna! Several people had the falafel platter, and I enjoyed the vegetable casserole. There was quite a bit of salad on the platters, which helps break up the heaviness of the falafel and meat. My vegetable casserole had an a delicious amount of spices, which made it pop. The persons were quite large as well so we all had leftovers! This was an amazing experience, and we would definitely return if ever close by. I highly recommend trying this spot for a fun or romantic evening with delicious food. read more

Restaurant is clean and service was fast. I enjoyed fries and the Babaganouj to start. Both tasted really good and I really liked the bread that came with the Babaganouj. I wish it came with more bread. I ordered the Chicken Shish Kabob for my main dish. It was good but I was disappointed it was thigh meat instead of the breast meat that was listed on the menu. I really enjoyed the salad that came with the dish. read more

Visited Turkish Flame and was really impressed with the food and atmosphere. The kebabs were tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly, with that smoky flavor you only get from authentic grilling. The rice was fluffy, the pita was warm and soft, and the sides--especially the hummus and salad--tasted incredibly fresh. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and beautifully plated. The restaurant had a cozy, inviting feel with nice décor and relaxing music that added to the experience. The staff was polite, attentive, and quick to serve. Overall, Turkish Flame delivered great flavor, great service, and a true taste of authentic Mediterranean food. Definitely worth a visit.

Turkish Flame is truly a 5-star dining experience in Indian Rocks Beach. Everything about this restaurant is amazing from the food to the wonderful customer service. Some highlights from our meal included the chicken shish entree and the turkish flan for dessert (a must try in my opinion!). The dishes are so flavorful and everything tastes so fresh. The portion sizes are very generous, so you can definitely share with others or save for leftovers. The restaurant is decorated so nicely and is located right across from the beach. I can't recommend this spot enough if you're in the area! read more

Can't decide which was better: food or service. Six stars for the grapeleaf rolls, chicken kabobs, and baklava. The best of Turkish cooking is here, we plan to steadily work our way through the menu. But then, six stars also for Ece and Merve who welcomed us as we entered and then lavished hospitality and great service upon us until we took our leave. We will definitely be back! read more

I popped in for to go food on opening day and we totally enjoyed it! The staff were very gracious and helpful, making excellent recommendations for the appetizer sampler. Bora, the owner, let me get a picture with him and welcomed me to his new restaurant! It's beautiful inside with very nice decor and a definite upscale feel. After ordering, I was offered some complimentary Turkish tea for my wife and myself well I waited. It was delicious! I waited inside and chatted a bit and then a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm hit. Luckily, I had a mini umbrella so when the staff helped me take the food to the car in the downpour, I prevented the food from getting soaked! I'm not an expert in Turkish food but we enjoyed it when we got home. Turkish Flame is worth visiting! Life is good with a new unique local restaurant opening! read more

Turkish Flame at Indian Rocks Beach offers a truly outstanding dining experience. The delicious food and excellent service make it a must visit destination. Parking is convenient, available both in front and along the sides. They serve wine and beer. The outdoor seating was nice. The menu includes delicious hot and cold appetizers, along with hearty entrées like traditional casseroles and kebabs, and classic Turkish desserts. I highly recommend the warm cheese rolls; they were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of cheese and were honestly outstanding. The lamb casserole, a first for me, was delicious. My partner enjoyed the lamb kebabs, noting the lamb was so tender it melted in his mouth. We finished with Kunefe, a cheesy and perfect traditional dessert that was truly satisfying. My favorite element was the attentive server, a medium height man from Turkey with a wonderfully happy smile. read more

Stopped in after a relaxing beach walk during happy hour on a chilly Florida day with my girlfriend, and Turkish Flame did not disappoint. I had the lentil soup, which was delicious, along with the grape leaves--both were excellent. Since it was happy hour, all appetizers and drinks were half off, which was a great bonus. The service was great and very attentive, and the ambiance is very nice with both indoor and outdoor seating right by the beach. They have a wide variety of food options, whether you're looking for a quick bite or a full upscale meal. As someone who's Turkish, I can confidently say there aren't many good Turkish food options on the beach, and this place truly stands out. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Turkish beer (Efes) on the menu. If you're looking for great food by the beach, this is definitely the place to go. read more

Turkish Flame most definitely lives up to the Best of 2025 award bestowed upon it. The food was as excellent as fantastic Mediterranean food should be....packed full of robust flavors! The falafel was probably the best falafel I've ever had, but at $12.95 for 4. I'd have to think twice about ordering again even though it was phenomenal. Everything else on the menu was very reasonably priced. Have the Baba Ganoush, Hummus , and the Shepard's Salad. Bubba Ganoush is always my favorite and this was definitely delicious, but the hummus was a home run! I generally can take or leave hummus, as I find it to be too sour on most occasions. Not so with this hummus. Flavor was an 11 out of 10! Shepherd's salad was also a standout! Now, the Chicken Casserole, chef's kiss! Incredibly well developed flavors! The service was very friendly and very attentive. We chose to sit outside on the patio and I would say this is my one slight criticism. The patio really lacked ambience. Not because of the decor, but it just was not inviting. Some potted plants and planter boxes lining the top of the railing would do wonders and make the patio every bit as inviting as the inside. Will definitely be coming back again and again! read more

The food was excellent, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer vegetables.

Great ambiance. Smaller popular restaurant; reservations HIGHLY recommended. Mixed cold appetizers was very enjoyable. Hot, thin lavash-style bread served with it. Dolma were particularly sweet and delicious. Labneh tasty but not that thick. Bean salad OK but we didn't finish it, so maybe it wasn't our favorite. We both enjoyed the spicy bulgur. I loved the many cucumber and tomato slices on the platter and ate all of them. I ordered the vegetable casserole entree and requested they hold the pie-crust covering. I found the peppers and sauce in the casserole too spicy, so I fished out all the mushrooms and potatoes and left the sauce and peppers. I will ask them next time I visit if they can make the dish without the (jalapeno?) peppers. read more
