Flame Shawarma & Grill — Restaurant in Toronto

date visited : August 08, 2018

Happened to stop in since I was craving chicken shawarma, and this resto had recently opened, it had replaced “Crack Me Up”. Owner is really friendly, service is okay, due to only 2 people working at time of visit.

Food : I ordered a Chicken Shawarma, no complaints really, except maybe the pita quality was too thin? It happened to tear quite easily, and I didn't have any sauces added other than hummus and the garlic spread. I've had chicken shawarma at Shawarma Twist and their pita is good and doesn't tear and has some chewiness. The same day, I came back with my wife and we ordered a chicken shawarma platter. We thought it was supposed to come with rice..but we didn't receive any..we did get 3 different types of salad with our chicken shawarma platter (potato salad, couscous salad and barley salad) Found the Chicken Shawarma to be very filling. This is the first shawarma resto I have been to that currently does not offer a 2 shawarma combo, hopefully they may offer that combo in the future.

Due to that this resto is relatively close to our home, we are likely to return when we have Chicken Shawarma cravings and possibly to try some of their other offerings. I like the fact it is open kitchen concept, and you can see exactly what the cook is doing and preparing your food.

Value for money spent : Pricing is fair for 1 single shawarma wrap. Think just a tad more higher in price than some other shawarma places in Scarborough.

Methods of Payment : at time of this writing, cash and debit are accepted. Not certain if credit cards are accepted.

Repeat visits :...

This place is among one of my favourite places to visit to get something to eat. This place is a local gem that really needs to get some more love and attention from people.

The food is arguably some of the best that one could find in the area, the tried and true Chicken Shawarma Wrap will never fail to satiate any hunger that one might have. They have a nice selection of ingredients to add to your wrap so it suits you perfectly. They don't overwhelm you with 500 options that may or may not taste good, they have a smaller selection of ingredients that all work well together in any combination that you might come up with.

The employees are quite nice, though usually you'll find 1-2 people working at any given time. No matter who is serving you, you'll be satisfied with the service they provide.

All in all, this place is absolutely worth the visit. The food is delicious and the prices are...

I gave it 4stars because: Customer service is good Price is reasonable for what you get. Workers follow health and safety regulations(wear gloves, hair covered, and keep everything clean) Choice of different salads. I took one star off because my chicken was too salty yesterday July 19,2022 in my chicken shawarma wrap and my friend's wrap too. I told my friend maybe it was salty because it was end of the day and he was giving us left overs. When I say salty I mean I could barely finish it. Today I came in to order chicken shawarma plate, I came home and first thing my wife said was "chicken is very salty" I tried it and it was just as salty as last night. Also be a little bit more generous on chicken. It looks like you get 100 grams of meat for...
