Flame Cafe

I absolutely adore this place. I literally come here at least once a week for their promo plates. It’s $ ⁶⁄₇ for a ton of rice, pork/​chicken/​lamb, lettuce, tomatoes, Tzatziki sauce. The meat is tender and perfectly spiced. They’re quick despite the crowd at the lunch hour. Best lunch spot in the financial district!

Wow, very impressive breakfast wrap! Huge egg broccoli and feta, crispy and delicious

Flame never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with the lamb or pork in a sandwich or plate. One thing that I am curious about is they used to put cherry peppers in the food but now it seems they use jalapeño. I prefer it the old way!

Chicken pita was bland in comparison to other gyros I’ve had. Small place can definitely crank out some food but nothing special imo. Although their breakfast sandwich looks unreal

I love their chicken promo plate. Awesome food!!! Reasonably priced.
Even though am not a regular, I end up there every time I feel like having a fully satisfied meal.

Nice people and great food reasonably priced; I eat the Lamb Promo plate two days out of three when I’m in Boston! Was introduced to it by my colleagues at work and now, rarely go anywhere else for a quick lunch. Baklava good, too!

I have been walking past this place every day for a year and finally it was raining and I didnt want to walk far and so I went in. The presentation was nice, so you know exactly what you are going to get. The food was good there was a decent amount of food for the price. The taste was also okay not the best I have ever had, but definately a good rainy day spot for a fast good wrap.

The nicest people work here and the food is delicious! I like the breakfast wrap. The traditional meats are also very tasty. The dishes with no meat are also very flavorful.

I decided to check it out as the prices for some meals are affordable for the area. I decided for the chicken promo plate (less than $ 6.5).
The service was friendly and speedy. It wasn’t very busy at the time but it seemed a little frantic.
The plate had rice, cabbage (?), tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, tzatziki and their chicken. The amount of food was fine but light on chicken — that might be the price factor. The chicken was great, just a tad dry. The rice was underwhelming and there was simply too much cabbage. Two slices of hot peppers were simply not enough but great tasting.
For a couple extra bucks, I might try the gyro next time.

Good quality food, fast! Both their gyros and kebabs wrapped in lavash bread are great! I especially like their chicken kebab.

What a gem for lunch! It’s a small place, but their service is super quick even for lunch. I didn’t even find my credit card yet, and my order was ready. The chicken could be hotter, but the yogurt sauce is delicious once you mix everything around! And it only cost 4.99! Best part is having a few jalapeño to bring up the kick. The guy was super nice, he even offered a $ 1 chicken kabob as an add-​on. Was tempted, but it’s a lot of food already.
I want to try their breakfast next!

Flame is in my building but, even if it wasn’t, is walk however far I had too to get their yummy food! My favorite is the Chicken Promo. I can (and have) had it every day for a week! It’s a steal at $ 4.99. They also have great breakfast wraps. I like having them add sausage or bacon. Everyone who works there is friendly and they’ll remember your order which makes me think they really care about providing great service to their customers. Check it out if you can!!!

I love this place! Amazing breakfast and lunch. Gyros are unreal and so is the morning wrap!

Flame Café is without a doubt my new take-​out spot for breakfast and lunch. The food is excellent — served fresh, hot, and wonderfully delicious. For breakfast they have a number of different breakfast wrap options, or if you prefer to just have eggs with some mix-​ins in a dish, you can do that too. One of the many things that I love about Flame, is that if you want to switch something up they are more than happy to accommodate you — want a different meat option (i.e. pork — like used in the lunch gyros), no problem… want a different cheese used, no problem… whatever you want, they are happy to work with you on it.
Their lunch wraps/​gyros are equally spectacular. I am addicted to the pork gyro which is served on a lavash wrap. The lavash bread is something just a bit different than any other restaurants (to my knowledge) are using, and it is a huge kudo to Flame.
I love the staff here, and they actually seem to care about their customers. I have to admit that I had walked by this place many times before reading another review on it. After trying it once, I think i’ve been back at least another dozen times in the past month or two and am a full convert.

I love this place. Can always rely on Flame Café to transport me back to that summer holiday in Greece. Gyros here are better than some of the ones I’ve had in Greece. The walls are covered with nice picktures, really nice touch with the whole service.:)

I have walked by this place dozens of times on my way to work. It’s one of those places you stop by for takeout if you work in the financial district. It is typical Mediterranean style food. They have a selection have kebab plates and gyros. I had a combo plate and it was under $ 10, pretty standard for lunch in this area. The chicken, beef, and lamb were all flavorful. I would definitely return again for another lunchtime takeout.

Sweet baby jesus the cheese turnover!!! Flakey like danish pastry but so cheesy it’d make an american queasy. I could stuff my face with maybe five of these. They come out piping hot every morning. Their bagels are also soft, even when toasted, which is actually something I thoroughly enjoy. I used to come here often in the mornings when they’d just opened the store. The staff are very friendly and used to shove coupon after coupon into my bag on my way out.
I don’t work in the area anymore, but if my previous experiences said anything of the service, Flame Café will be around for a while!

The ladies that work here are really nice, but the gyro was not as yummy as I had hoped. There was too much veggie and not enough chicken, though what I got was deliciously seasoned. Maybe I was disappointed because I am a huge non-​lover of raw onion. They do a great job with packaging so the wrap doesn’t make a mess though… wrap made tightly, then put into a plastic bag, then put into a paper bag before handed to you.
They were super nice and didn’t rush me even though I walked in a few minutes after they were supposed to close.
This would be a great lunch place to take-​out and eat at Post Office Square Park.

It is always strange to be recognized. But oddly freeing too, since that meant I no longer had to be circumspect, so I whipped out my camera and shot away as I pleased.
They have two new to me items on their menu — the American Gyro Sub (their month’s special?) for $ 5.65 (with any of their 3 meats: lamb, chicken, pork), and a Seafood Rice Pilaf $ 6.59 (fresh cooked rice with shrimp, calamari, scallops, mussels and clams, sprinkled with fresh cilantro) — so I opted for both, and tossed in a maxi baklava (the only thing that they don’t make here) for $ 2.99.
The sample American Sub looked a little outsized by its neighbor the pita on the counter, but it looked rather good portioned once I got mine back to work and undressed it from its foil wrapper for eating purposes. The pork was well seasoned and tender. The sub toasted on the cut surface, but still rather soft. It was a good sandwich, but I very much prefer the texture and the contrast of the pita’s griddled surface against its tender center.
I found the Seafood Rice Pilaf a bit on the bland side. They did include a sauce on the side to go with it, but when I sniffed it and tasted it, it resembled soy sauce, which I felt didn’t quite go with the dish.
The baklava was pretty good, and seemed to be filled with chopped almonds.
I’d pass on the rice pilaf next time, and would consider the American Sub again, but prefer the pita in either the chicken or the pork variations.
Note — if you order the baklava, take a baklava; they are used to customers proactively taking them from the stack, so you might end up leaving without it otherwise.
*** June visit II ***
Since I’ve already tried all their gyro pitas, as well as a selection of other things, the owner suggested I give their Greek salad with chicken a try and tossed in a warmed pita since I love them so much.
The salad ($ 4.99) was sweet crisp romaine leaves chopped, with sliced cucumber, a couple of larger pieces of tomato, red peppers, a slice of red onion, some pickled peppers in the corner, and a trio of olives to anoint it, with the crumbled feta and salad dressing on the side. And it was topped with quite a mound of flavorful tender chicken for $ 1.99.
The gratis pita ($ 1 otherwise) was nice and toasted warm and yet still soft and poofy, but it was sadly quartered. Sure, that makes sense with it beside the salad, but still I was a bit disappointed since I was wanting to make it into a pita sandwich for myself. Oh, well, it was still tasty. And next time I’d know to say something.
The chip basket had more of a selection this time around. I bypassed the Cheetos I spotted for a Lay’s Sour Cream & Onion… but gee, was it tempting…
You can pay with Level Up or you can use their Guest Loyalty Card if you want to pay by other means — it earns you $ 5 credit towards breakfast after 4 visits and a free lunch up to $ 10 in value after your 9^th visit.
Let’s summarize on the things I would re-​order here:
Chicken or Pork Gyros Pita $ 7.99 — I like their pitas (also available for $ 1 a la carte)
Baklava $ 2.99
And their salad was pretty big and fresh; I wonder if they’d allow a double portion of the meat — that and some pita could make for a good two lunches in a row for a lighter eater like me, if I were to plan ahead.

I just needed a pita to make a sandwich of some leftovers I had. Unfortunately the lady who grilled it up for me nice and warm automatically quartered the soft round pita despite my conversationally having mentioned what I was getting it for.
Oops.
I called, and David A. answered my call and said he’d give me another.
I ran on over (literally; I was in a rush) and David A. handed me a foil wrapped bundle over the lunchtime crowd which had appeared since my earlier visit.
David, for your responsiveness and service, you’ve earned the coveted 4 stars from me.

The American dream is alive and well via Armenian/​Mediterranean food! The pride of ownership and excellent service is delivered directly by the owner who is usually here to great you and take your order.
So far I’ve only had the $ 5 Chicken Kebab wrap special which is always delicious. I’m looking forward to expanding out to the plates and gyros. They have loyalty punch cards and accept LevelUp payments which helps save a little over time.
My only request/​recommendation for this recommendation would be that this restaurant consider an alternate «free side» than chips or a small cup of pickled veggies. Chips are crappy empty calories and the pickled veggies aren’t much to snack on. Maybe they could consider larger containers for the pickled veggies, brown rice, hummus w/​pita or some other veggie option.
Please give these folks a try!
