Flames Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Save yourself the trauma and eat elsewhere.

We attended as for a 40th birthday party, approx. 60 people. Our meal was booked in advance (meze) and the booking was from 7pm. We waited over an hour for pitta and dips to arrive... a sign of things to come. We averaged 45 minutes between courses and our meal took almost 5 hours. Our plates were only changed on request and it got so bad that I had to collect the previous courses empty dishes myself and take them to the kitchen.

The food was average at best, I also got to experience lamb sushi for the first time :/ it will be a miracle if no one in attendance wakes up with food poisoning.

The owner / manager is awful and blames his staff for everything, this includes humiliating them publicly. I felt genuinely sorry for our waitress who bore the brunt of so many frustrations and was left in tears by the owner. Completely unacceptable and disgusting behaviour. Waitress (I'm so sorry I didn't catch your name given all the drama) you did a great job in a horrible situation.

Stayed here for 6 nights. Ate here for 5 of them. The food is the best Greek food I have ever tasted, amazing selection of starters, well washed salads and great mains and myself and my Apprentice ate quite a few during our work stint a few miles up the road in Southgate where it turns out that there is a Travelodge within 0.3 miles of the site we were working at (So glad we did NOT realise!!). The 4 course platter for two (or however many) is fantastic value for money but do not eat during the day if you order it! The Ramada Hotel is made a far better place to stay by this great authentic restaurant run by a great set of people. Would stay here again just because of the restaurant. Great authentic Bazouki live music aswell at weekends. Thankyou for everything but...

The four stars are for the staff. I only had a bowl of wedges as s snack, very nice they were but cannot comment on the iverall food quality. I read the reviews as i was staying in the hotel, and couldnt quite connect the reviews with the restauraunt as on both Thusdsy and Friday it was very quiet. My biggest issue was the notice requiring you to spend a minimum £10 if you were paying on a card. I had used my cash up on drinks and had to scrape together £3,50 for the wedges. We are in a contactless age, my children and others don't carry cash. Come on join thd 21st centuary. Oh, and don't ask to take your drinks to the room you cant as the owner takes the cost of yhe glass out if the staff wages if it...
