I had the pleasure of trying their Adana kebab, a dish so deeply rooted in the rich culinary traditions of my city, and I must say, it was nothing short of perfection. The meat was expertly seasoned, cooked to a tender, juicy perfection, and bursting with the familiar flavors that instantly transported me back to the vibrant streets of Adana. The texture, spice balance, and char were spot-on, evoking memories of home-cooked meals and local grills back in Turkey.
Each bite reminded me of the care and authenticity that goes into crafting such a beloved dish. Paired with freshly baked bread, fragrant rice, and a medley of fresh vegetables, it truly felt like I was back home enjoying an authentic meal with family and friends. Turkish Flame has captured the heart and soul of Mediterranean cuisine, especially with its dedication to the time-honored flavors of Adana.
As someone from Adana, I am always on the lookout for authentic Turkish cuisine that captures the essence of my hometown, and Turkish Flame has certainly delivered. The moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff made me feel like I was about to embark on a delightful culinary journey.
For anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience that balances tradition with excellence, Turkish Flame is a must-visit. As someone who hails from Adana, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. It’s a home...
Read moreThe food was fresh, & the staff was friendly. This was initially supposed to be a nice date night for my girlfriend & I, but unfortunately she wasn't feeling well so it turned into a nice time out with my daughter. I started off with a glass of the Anatolian white wine, & the handmade rolled cheese pie as our appetizer. It was light & flaky, & tasted great especially paired with the tzatziki sauce. My daughter called them turkish mozzarella sticks lol. For our entrées my daughter ordered the beef shish kebab & I ordered the Traditional lamb adana kebab, but unfortunately that isn't what my daughter recieved. My daughter recieved the Doner Kebab instead of the beef shish kebab. At first she didn't realize she had recieved the incorrect dish. Once we did I asked my daughter what she wanted to do but we decided we didn't want to wait for new dish since we had plans afterwards so she just kept what she received. Even though it wasn't what she ordered the food was still delicious & we enjoyed it all. After we were finished I wanted some of the baklava but I was to full, so we got some to go to eat later when we got home. Our server brought us some turkish tea at the end which was very refreshing.
All in all it was nice experience, & I'll be coming back soon with my girlfriend for our...

First, the location is absolutely wonderful- literally one street over from the beach in Indian Rocks. Had a lovely day at the beach and then stopped over here for the cherry on top of a meal.
Everything was exquisite, from the food to the service to the setting. I am a big fan of Mediterranean and Turkish food, so I’ve tried a lot but Turkish Flame is still easily some of the best I’ve tried.
Let me say, hummus will never be the same to me again after trying the baked hummus here. According to our lovely waitress, it’s very normal in Turkey to have warm hummus rather than cold like we usually have it here in the states, and I 100% understand why they do it. So fabulous.
I tried the lamb shish kebab, which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Along with soft sticky rice, a grilled tomatoes and a dip of tsaziki sauce, it was heaven on your taste buds.
Also had their mixed fruit sparkling juice, and it was refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. We got some Turkish tea which was great as well.
Really such a wonderful experience all around. The staff was so delightful and the food is worth every dollar. Oh, and get some baklava or Turkish flan for dessert too, you...
