This has been my go to lunch place for the last 15 years if I’m in the airport area. I almost always order the lamb kebabs, because they are perfect.

I’ve hosted numerous guests at flame kebab, and have always had a wonderful experience with delicious food.

They have one of my favorite drinks in the world, Doogh.

The place is small and when full very congested. The food is great. Service is excellent except that they charge you for any small sauce requested extra. A pricey place like this should do better.

If you’re looking for something delicious and a bit out of your comfort zone, I would highly suggest flame kabob! The portions are generous, and the food is delicious. I personally loved that you could get a hot cup black tea throughout your meal. I also suggest asking for their hot sauce that they make! Love this place for a date night or a meal for the whole family.
