I just picked up food from here Friday, around 5:30 pm. It wasn't busy, but I saw food reviews on yelp and stopped for Starbucks and noticed this place. I have to say it's one of the BEST! I got the chicken platter and it's literally so delicious that I had to write a review immediately. I'm so happy I stopped and tried this and will definitely be back. Great ambiance, the staff is friendly and the food is amazing.

Went here for a quick bite before my son's volleyball practice; didn't know I was going to find the best falafels in town! Super friendly staff and highly recommend the chicken schwarma wrap with their house-made spicy sauce and baklava! ^_^

Best burger around! You don't usually get burgers with eggs around here but they serve it and its delicious plus Halal! The service is fast too, place is clean.

This place is insanely good! I ate the chicken falafel wrap last week and it was great. Came back today and got the gyro wrap and it's amazing. I'm in shock of how good this is. So spicy and full of flavor!!!! Eat gyro I've had in a long time. Still here in the parking lot wondering how I can eat a second one!!!! lol.

I ordered the Chicken Platter. It had hummus, pita, chicken, and some salad. I chose to get it mildly spicy. It was spicy for me. I'm not good with spice so I recommend non-spice lovers to get spicy. I enjoyed it. The chicken was marinated well and not too salty and sweet. The hummus tasted great with the pita. The salad helped to balance out the meal. My meal came out quickly. There's a lot of parking outside. I came in on a Sunday afternoon. My friend and I were the only ones there. Definitely a great place to meet friends, family, or go on a date!

Falafel flame is in my top 3 go-to restaurants for dinner on a weekday. The food is so delicious and consistent every time. It's decent if you get it delivered, but nothing beats eating it there, hot and fresh! I have tried both the burgers and the plates, can't go wrong with either. For the burger I'd recommend the Texan burger that has BBQ sauce because the sauce is very well done, it has the right tang and flavor for BBQ sauce and the meat is cooked very well. I love the grilled onion and pepper mixture they put in it as well, complements the bbq sauce perfectly. If you get fries on the side the best part is you can dip them in the bbq sauce drippings from the burger, now that's a pro tip! I'd also highly recommend the chicken plate. Everything on the plate is well thought out and delicious. The salad has a nice light honey mustard dressing, the basmati rice is seasoned and cooked to perfection, the pita it comes with is warm and every so slightly crisp and the chicken is beautifully cooked and drizzled with a special white garlic sauce. They also give you a hot sauce and yogurt sauce on the side which is great to dip each bite in (if they don't give you these sauces make sure to ask for them on the side!) Service: I always get helped right away and they are very accommodating with requests like extra sauce and sometimes I even order ahead for dine in! Like I basically call in saying I'll be there in 15 mins and I want to eat there and then when I get there the food is ready and served asap :) Pricing is average, you're going to spend about $20-$25 for a solid meal here and they don't skimp so it's worth it. Ingredients are also a cut above so that's nice. As for ambiance, it's not the prettiest spot, but the seating is comfortable and they always have a table available. They could benefit from a proper central air heating/cooling system and the floors should probably be changed at some point, but they do decent job keeping the place generally clean though. This one is an easy 5/5 when it comes to the food!

My friend and I shared their the flame platter, which is a combination of the gyro, chicken, and falafel on top of rice with pita and hummus. We also ordered a side of fries. Once ordering, there is quite a bit of a wait, so I wouldn't come here if you're in a big rush. Lunch on the weekdays seem to be pretty filled but clear out around 1 PM. The gyro, falafel, pita and hummus were definitely standouts for me. The falafel has a thinner, crisp exterior, which I actually prefer because I feel like you can actually taste the falafel. I think they butter their pitas too, which makes it have better flavor. On the other hand, I did feel like the chicken was pretty dry, the rice was a little under seasoned (works when you bite everything but tastes a little bland on its own), and the fries could use a couple more minutes in the fryer. Overall, pretty solid place. I can see why people would come here during lunch. I'd probably just get the gyro lunch platter with a side of falafel next time but am glad I got to try a bunch of things
