Flaming Kabob

The food here is definitely lacking. Over the years, I have tasted some very good barbecue. The meat used at Flaming Kabob was dry and uneventful. They could not handle simple bbq instructions. I ordered the most expensive dish on their menu (beef steak kebab) but it came out like a dollar menu item– uninspiring and dull. Definitely need to improve!

Holy crap this place is the best. I’ve ordered before thru doordash and should give myself many demerits for not writing a review before. I got the Flaming Kabob’s Combo for 2 (Main Entrée Combos) and wow. EVERY item included was amazing. There is a real char on all the kabobs and they are moist and delicious and my syrian boyfriend agrees this shizz is the real deal. Just wonderful. When I placed my order, they were out of the meat grapeleaves. SO disappointing as recently I declared their meat grapeleaves to be the best I’d ever had. But they were apologetic and when I inquired as to whether they were out due to popularity or demand, they said (paraphrasing) that they fly off the shelves. It’s hard to find places that have the ones with the meat because the veg version is so popular. Anyway, check this place out, you won’t be disappointed!

I walked in and ordered food to go at lunch. VERY slow and there was NO ONE in here at all. I thought the inside was shabby and dirty. The food was not bad but due to concerns with appearance i would never go back here again. Must survive mainly on middle eastern clientele.

I ordered delivery and was given an ETA of 45 to an hour. The delivery driver finally showed up nearly 2 hours later with cold food. We ordered a Gyro platter with fries and some hummus. Hummus was spilled all over the bag. The gyro was slimy and cold due to the time spent in the drivers car I’m assuming. There’s a lot of great middle eastern in Tempe. Don’t waste your money at Flaming Kabob.

Delicious food! This review is coming from an Armenian and a Mexican who know what this food should taste like. Probably the best falafel we’ve ever had! Great hummus, gyro, salad, rice & beef kebab. They are really generous with the pita bread. We were here for Spring Training and wanted some yummy comfort food. This definitely hit the spot! Highly recommend them & will be back next time we’re in town.

Super authentic. They make the rice how I love it and I don’t even like rice. I did a traditional maza plate plus chicken schwarma and kibbe balls… all perfect. Delivered quickly. Tip the gentleman well :)

We probably eat here at least once a week. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been excellent, they have great lunch specials, and make a perfect Turkish coffee with cardamom. This is our spot for Middle Eastern food in Tempe.

the food was good and the prices were very affordable for a family of four, we had a full meal and had leftovers for next day lunch all for a combo that they say feeds two but we where hungry ate well and had food to spare for next day’s lunch costing us aboiut $ 35, a great value.

Ordered the Flaming Kabob’s Family Special (3 shish kabobs, 3 chicken kabobs, 3 shish kaftas, shawarma, 4 falafels, 4 grape leaves, rice, salad, and hummus and pita. Everything was delicious, flavorful and could feed 4 – 5 people for $ 55. I would come back in a heartbeat. Note: There is a 15% service fee added for parties of 5 or more.

Love this place. The staff is always really friendly. I lost my credit card one day and instead of getting mad they let me have lunch instead. So whenever I go back I give a big tip. The owner/​manager always talks to us and we have hung around just talking to him for a long time.
The food is awesome. Some of the best hummus I’ve had and the gyro is so good I rarely try anything else.
The one draw back is the bathroom is not really a customer friendly place.

Let me preface that Mediterranean cuisine is my favorite cuisine so I am super picky. I love this place. The tabule salad is extraordinarily fresh, the rice is to-​die-​for and the meat is always juicy and delicious. The prices are reasonable. Totally recommend it to anyone that is into Mediterranean food.

Wow this place is a gem! So delighted with the Chicken Shawarma. My boyfriend loved the Gyro. It’s affordable for the amount of food that is served. I loved loved loved the warm lentil soup and the fresh pita bread. Try this place out! You’ll be happy you did

So, I order delivery from here about once a month. Order arrives pretty consistently and is always delicious. Tonight they accidentally delivered me the wrong food (first time this has ever happened), and when I called about it they rushed the correct order out at no charge, let me keep the incorrect order, and issued a $ 6 partial refund. All I can say is that was an unexpectedly pleasant experience, and I’ll continue being a customer because of it.
This one blip aside, their food is consistently good, large portions, and on-​time delivery. I’m a fan.

The food may have been good if it were delivered at least warm. Ordered online for delivery. Delivery charge as well as tip was charged to my card prior to delivery. When I called the restaurant 20 minutes after the established delivery time, the employee just said «all deliveries are out and should be delivered anytime.» Then he hung up the phone. Food was delivered 43 minutes at the time they gave as a delivery time, and the food was very cold.
Will not be ordering from them again.

Everything ordered was excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly… had to order more to bring home so tasty…

You know, this is a hole in the wall, but the flavors here are superior to many Middle Eastern restaurants. The kafta is great, and it’s all about the taste, right? I don’t often stop by because honestly the inside seating isn’t the most comfortable (the Mesa/​Baseline location is better), but I’m here to tell you that your taste buds will be happy here and that the cook knows what he is doing. Given their location, I am guessing that they would do good late-​night business if they decided to go that way — –their flavors are certainly better than most late-​night options.

Divey atmosphere but RELIABLY very good food and service at a reasonable price. I’ve eaten here many times and have NEVER had a bad meal. I also think their french fries are uniquely good. Very sincere chef.

I was an assyrian taught greek cook for quite a few years.
Sadly they retired and sold their restaurant.
I’ve been on the hunt to find anything and everything that tastes and looks like how I was taught to make it.
I spent a long time finding nothing but poor standard replicas and tastes.
I finally found this place and I am so relieved and happy.
The food is just… delicious.
I prefer to order delivery instead of dine in because I am told the waiting is rude and snappy. Which I will gladly avoid.
The food is always promptly delivered.
And the older gentleman that always delivers is the sweetest most polite man I have ever seen. Its always a joy with this place.

I ordered from grubhub tonight. When the food arrived there was animal hair in the bag. Part of my order was wrong, they delivered something else instead. They must have been out of what I ordered but they didn’t bother to call me to tell me so. Since there wasn’t any animal hair in the food I tried it. It was no longer hot and wasn’t very good. The soup had about a tablespoon of rice at the bottom of the cup and the rest was broth. A waste of $ 20.00

The waiter was terribly rude. Food is good though. He outright swore at me because I spoke to him while he was calculating our check up at the register (when I saw him over-​calculate something during the adding up process) and he lost his place. It’s remedial fucking math. Still tipped the scrub $ 2. Avoid eating dine-​in. He also refused to take my order over the phone to have it ready ahead of time so I can eat there unless I tipped him $ 10.
