Flame Kabob

Great lunch spot with good lunch specials, plus a discount for students. Sauce was tasty, plenty of meet in the gyro and the price is hard to beat. Definitely plan on frequenting this place!

The foods not consistent. I ate here a few months ago and the food was great but yesterday it wasn’t. The koobideh was dry.
The restaurant is old and needs an update. They took out the nasty booths which was a good move but there is a lot of empty space.
Ok for take out but eating there is a depressing. That whole strip mall needs to be town down.

I’ve had gyros in many places but I can sincerely tell you that this place makes the best gyros I have ever tasted and The Baklava delicious I will definitely return to this place and recommend it to anyone.

The hummus, falafel, rice, kabob’s and everything here is home made. I have looked for a place like this for the past 12 years and finally found it. Best Arabic food in town. Good quality and FRESH…

This place is running by new owner the menu changes slightly. I ordered beef kabab. It’s served with bread slides, salad and rice. It really looked delicious. It was not Persian flavor it tasted more like Arab’s or Turkish kabab. But it was so tender. Moreover, it’s only Mediterranean restaurant in walking distance of UNLV and offer student discount just show your rebel card!!!

Had the 3 tenderloin kabob (beef, lamb, chicken) all were juicy and flavorful. The manager brought me sample of hummus and 1 falafel to try. Best falafel I’ve ever had in a while. Excellent wait time and great service. Definitely will be back to try the shawerma wrap

First time i stopped by i tried the chicken shawrma also the appetizer sampler (3 flafel, humus and baba ghanosh) and the bread was made fresh worth to give it a shot

Legit gyros. I love it. Yum! Register guy super nice. everyone is nice. And right in front of unlv, I don’t know why I didn’t come here before.

If you are trying to impress a date with the «décor»… This is not the place. If you want amazing flavor… You have found it! If you want «fast“food. This is not the place. If you want «fresh» food… This is the place! Pay the extra 3.00 for the tenderloin (ground meat is just not as good). Best bet is to share a plate that has all 3 (beef chicken lamb). The saffron rice is excellent (not hard, not watery, just right). Hard to decide which is better (beef or chicken). The lamb is great, just not normal palate (the adventurous will love it). Best was that the flavor was not overpowering, yet was infused throughout. No need to add salt or pepper. «Flavorful» describes this the best. Again, don’t go for the décor… You WILL be disappointed. Go for the food… You’ll love it!

Fantastic spot! Sam is as friendly and helpful as a person can be. Anything you try is going to be good. I’m addicted to their gyro. Addicted. The food is made fresh to order with Persian ice cream and rose water and even taftoon bread as sides. Great for a good quick meal or a sit down with the family!

Ordered the chicken kabob. The only thing that I enjoyed was the kabob itself. The white sauce had too much anise. Not exactly «fast» food as you have to wait longer and nor was the $ 14 price with small drink. Sour cherry was good though too sweet for my taste

I love this place! The food is amazing and the service is even better.
I’ve tried many different things on the menu but I usually order and highly recommend the Chicken Kubideh Kabob plate for $ 6.99. It comes with one decently proportioned Chicken Kubideh, Basmati Rice, Pita and a Side Salad. The food is made with great quality. The Taziki sauce is also very good here and they have complimentary Jalapeños and Green Spicy Sauce.
I’ve never had a bad experience here, all the workers are extremely pleasant.

This place was awesome. all staff were so friendly and l loved their chicken and beef kabob. The baklava was homemade. the best baklava l have ever eaten in the Us.

Talk about friendly customer service! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted nicely and immediately felt welcome. I came here with my baby girl and boyfriend. We tried the beef, chicken and lamb kabobs. All were great but my favorite by far was the ground beef. It was so tender, flavorful and delicious! The freshly made bread and hummus was great too. Even my baby girl loved it. We will definitely be back again for more!

It feels great knowing that the owner remembers us from the last time, super friendly and amazing food at all times. Great place to study and to step out of the campus for a bit.

This place is amazing and their food is out of this world! The food is so good and fresh! Customer service is great since its under a new management !!! Love the people that work there! Cant wait to go with my friends there for their hookah nights!

This place is awesome! Everything from service to food. Best mediteranian food spot in town! SERIOUSLY! GIVE IT A GO

Great food! Great customer service. Beef kabob plate was delicious. I love this little hidden place right across from unlv

The food was at its right temperature, well proportioned, and was of average wait for the food to be prepared. I enjoyed it and will be back again. This place is a lil different but it’s still good.

First of all the service was extremely bad and unpleasant;I ordered my food and it took too long and I also ordered soup they didn’t bring it to us and did not refund us, when I came to ask for some cups the cashier took too long to see what I wanted as he was talking on the phone for too long.
Secondly the food portions were bad as the meat (kabob) portion was bigger than the rice’s portion.
I do not recommend this restaurant for anybody

Well first off, it was hard to find the restaurant because you have take downward steps to get to it. It is completely Persian themed and so I had big expectations. The place was clean and big. It has Arabian music playing in the background and a Persian underground theme. The staff were very friendly and informative. The wait time was alright. Not to late. The food was not warm though. Some plates were really hot, some were really cold. It lacked consistency. Some plates were filled with rice, but some had very little in them. Do not drink the glass soda, it tastes off and they will not exchange it. The meat is very flavorful while the rice lacked flavor. Three stars in total.
PROS: –good meat –good service –wait time was reasonable.
CONS– –Weird soda –inconsistency –lack of flavor in certain areas.

The food is good and the place is pretty big and clean. I went with my family and the staff was nice and knowledgeable but its a little pricey compared to my regular kabob spot.

Wasn’t a good kabob experience. Ordered a wrap, it was filled with rice, with a thick layer of bread, with a piece of meat. The taste wasn’t as good as many other places for the money I paid.

The lady at the cashier was very helpful and explained the whole menu to us being it was our first time there. We decided to get #14 Chicken Gyro Wrap. It came with salad, hummus, taftoon bread, tzatziki and dolmeh. It was absolutely delicious! Good lunch portion. We also ordered a side of fries– YUM! They also threw in an extra portion of warm dolmeh and hummus on the side as an appetizer while we waited for our food. Great service and food! I’ll definitely be coming back!!!

This place was just bad. I Should have taken a hint from the empty restaurant. Got a 3 kabob lunch special that ended up costing over $ 16 with no drink, total ripoff for what you get. They also ran out of forks so I had trouble eating the salad and kabobs. The kabobs literally look like pieces of shit with little actual meat and mostly filler. Guy said chicken looked like that because it was ground but it didn’t even taste like chicken nor did the beef taste like beef. Salad was drenched in overpowering dressing. Bread and rice were decent. Save your money and don’t eat here!

I’ve been here before, but it was a while ago and the first couple times were mediocre. I decided to go here again out of convenience and I thought why not. I had noticed that since the last time I had been there, they lowered the prices a bit. Lookin good already, I thought. I proceeded to order the number 1 combo, which is their ground beef kubideh. The guy who rang me up was very pleasant, not just to me, but to the others who were there. Perhaps they saw their negative reviews?
You need to try the rose tea and sour cherry teas. Delicious. I got my order and jeeze, I don’t remember the meat being this juicy and flavorful. I remembered it being slightly dry. Maybe the lunch hour has a different staff because dinner here was great. The yogurt was perfect, the bread was fluffy, and the rice was buttery. All very delicious. I could probably go without their salad though.

It’s hot inside. Slightly cooler than the 105 outside, but hot enough to make me miss my car.
They haven’t bothered to update their signs, so my soup and salad ended up costing me an unexpected $ 20. Yikes!
Being across from the college, you’d think this place would be packed. The food is actually quite good, just very expensive.

Great place if you’re hungry! The servings are full and they have many options. Also, the place looked clean enough but unfortunately I had heard bad things before.
I liked the food options they gave and the server was nice enough. Looked a little bored but for the short interaction we had, his attitude sufficed. :)

*FIRST NOTE* We had a Groupon for this location. We had $ 20 to use. The owner told us that to use the Groupon, we had to each buy a drink and pay a 15% gratuity on the bill. The Fine Print on Groupon says nothing about having to buy drinks and adding a 15% gratuity. I know this guy was scamming us, but I paid the difference to just get this over with.
We ordered a beef shish kabob and a beef and lamb shwarma. The food took a little while to come out to us. The food was not bad at all. The beef shish kabob was actually pretty tasty. The shwarma had a bit too much gristle. The saffron rice was okay, nothing to write home about. Pita bread and hummus was good, didn’t find it too oily, although I have heard complaints on that. The owner did even come by and give us extra pita bread. He also had us try the green sauce which wasn’t too bad, it had a nice spice to it (though I had seen it earlier and commented that it looked old). The owner also mentioned that the beef was imported from some country like Australia and said it had no hormones. That I didn’t believe, this coming from the owner who had already scammed us into buying drinks and gratuity.
One good note from the owning scamming us to get drinks was trying the sour cherry iced tea. That was delicious. I’m not normally an iced tea drinker as I prefer more sugary drinks but this was a great blend of flavor and light taste. Definitely the best part of the experience.
Though, the place is only going to get two stars however. The fact that the owner scammed us into spending more money gives insight on how the whole operation is run. It’s true, businesses that run Groupons do NOT make money of those. They actually are more likely to lose money in the short term as they are giving away food. The point of this is to increase foot traffic and get people in the door and have a nice experience so they can tell their friends.
What the owner is doing is alienating the people who do use these deals. This may be acceptable in the short term, but in the long term, they will have very little repeat business.
Plus, this location had been on Dirty Dining only a month previously, where he mentioned that some of the meat is pre cooked (so why would he talk about the importation of great beef if it’s imported?) and the green sauce in that episode had been out for 11 days. Just seems like the owner trying to talk his way out of things.
I can understand where the owner is coming from. The strip mall where this restaurant is located is a dead zone. Nothing really survives in the space. The atmosphere around the location is abysmal and just down right spooky at time at how quiet it is. The inside of the actual restaurant is also like that, with the lack of patrons and the quietness of the music.
Overall, the food wasn’t bad and I would have been up for a return visit, but questionable tactics by ownership has really dampened any chance for that.

So this is the original? I would’ve never guess as the location is tucked away in an underground mini mall across campus. I have always frequented the one on Sunset which is now no longer part of the chain/​franchise.
I got the mix and match combo chicken and lamb (+3.00 extra) and a mini mast-​akhir sauce.
First off I was bummed that there was an upgrade charge for the lamb. It wasn’t that way at the other location. There were a few other subtitle difference between this location and the breakaway fresh kabob.
1. The upgrade charge mentioned above for the lamb.
2. The combo comes with a bit of mast-​akhir sauce on your plate (no need for separate orders)
3. The side mast-​akhir sauce comes with bread.
4. The mint chutney sauce is is Spicy!
The kebabs were packed full of flavor as I have come to expect. Nice flame grilled texture while at the same time moist. I enjoyed the dish here.
The only thing that was a bit of a miss was the bread, I was used to the lighter fluffy taftoon bread that’s served at the other place, this one was a little more on the dense and firm side.
All and all a decent meal in a sketchy location
