Great food! I got a side of sweet potato fries and they gave me enough for 3 people! Chicken- great, hummus-great, Tzatziki-great. And the guys here are super friendly! Highly recommend!

Best experience I've ever had in a restaurant, ever! The service was fantastic! He took his time and explained the entire menu since it was our first time! No one does that kind of service anymore. There were so many options, but it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered the bowl with chicken, so much flavor, and it was filling. We also ordered the falafel with hummus, tzatziki, and fries... all of it was full flavor and divine!! Can't wait to go back! Ordered the baklava, excited to try it!
I love their chicken shawarma, kabobs, rice and hummus. This meal always hits and their hot sauce is delicious and one of a kind.
Flame & Skewers on California Ave has become our go-to location, and the reason is simple: AJ. From the moment you walk in, he greets you with a smile and the kind of genuine customer service you rarely find anymore. He not only remembers our order but takes a moment (when time permits) to check in and have a real conversation—it makes the experience feel personal every single time. Our orders are always spot-on, down to the smallest detail. This last visit I went with the falafel wrap and their crinkle-cut fries (the best in town, no question). The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, but it’s AJ’s dedication and hospitality that keep us loyal to this location. Thanks for setting the standard high, brother. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.
We stop by to have a lunch here. They serve gyros, kabobs, chicken, selection of fast food and bowl food options with protein base. We order chicken and kabobs combo which comes with rice, hummus, pita bread and roasted veggie, bell pepper & onion along with a decent size of salad bowl. Chicken was soft and tender while beef was a bit hard to cut and chew. My suggestion is to switch beef chunks with minced beed kabobs to add more flavors. Dining area is decent. It’s a self order place like any other fast food. Food over all was delicious. I will try gyros next time.
