Turkish Flame

No words to describe the amazing flavors! Delicious is just a start!I recommend reservations as there is limited seating especially if for an indoor spot. It is decorated like a garden and has a quaint intimate, feel on the inside. The staff were lovely and very gracious in explaining meal options.We ordered some of the house wines which were from Turkey, and absolutely the perfect choice ! For appetizers we had the yogurts labna as well as a Greek salad and lavash bread . I could have eaten those things and been perfectly satisfied because they were ample portions, and the flavors were exploding in my mouth. I loved the authentic flavors used in the labna!Several people had the falafel platter, and I enjoyed the vegetable casserole. There was quite a bit of salad on the platters, which helps break up the heaviness of the falafel and meat. My vegetable casserole had an a delicious amount of spices, which made it pop.The persons were quite large as well so we all had leftovers!This was an amazing experience, and we would definitely return if ever close by. I highly recommend trying this spot for a fun or romantic evening with delicious food.

Great Turkish restaurant. Delicious bread goes great with the hot hummus and everything else you order. Each entree can be served for two people. Ambiance is peaceful and right across the street from the beach. Definitely finish off with a Kunefe!

Great ambiance. Smaller popular restaurant; reservations HIGHLY recommended.Mixed cold appetizers was very enjoyable. Hot, thin lavash-style bread served with it. Dolma were particularly sweet and delicious. Labneh tasty but not that thick. Bean salad OK but we didn't finish it, so maybe it wasn't our favorite. We both enjoyed the spicy bulgur. I loved the many cucumber and tomato slices on the platter and ate all of them.I ordered the vegetable casserole entree and requested they hold the pie-crust covering. I found the peppers and sauce in the casserole too spicy, so I fished out all the mushrooms and potatoes and left the sauce and peppers. I will ask them next time I visit if they can make the dish without the (jalapeno?) peppers.

I popped in for to go food on opening day and we totally enjoyed it! The staff were very gracious and helpful, making excellent recommendations for the appetizer sampler. Bora, the owner, let me get a picture with him and welcomed me to his new restaurant!It's beautiful inside with very nice decor and a definite upscale feel. After ordering, I was offered some complimentary Turkish tea for my wife and myself well I waited. It was delicious! I waited inside and chatted a bit and then a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm hit. Luckily, I had a mini umbrella so when the staff helped me take the food to the car in the downpour, I prevented the food from getting soaked!I'm not an expert in Turkish food but we enjoyed it when we got home. Turkish Flame is worth visiting!Life is good with a new unique local restaurant opening!

We were glad to see Turkish Flame was able to open again after the hurricanes as not all of our family had a chance to try it before the storms came through. We intentionally tried different dishes across our family so we could give different things a try. We didn't find ourselves disappointed. We started with the Stuffed Grape Leaves, Oven Bakes Hummus with Soudjouk, and the Homemade Cheese Pie. All three of these appetizers were delicious and easy for our group to enjoy. For dinner my husband went with the Traditional Lamb Adana Kebab. The dish had great flavor and was cooked well. He liked the mix used for the rice pilaf over just plain rice. I went with the Doner Kebab (traditional Turkish Gyro). I'm a fan of the thinly sliced meat when it has a great sear/crispness to the pieces and this was done well here. The portion was generous and I had no problems sharing with my husband. My youngest went with the Lamb Casserole. The presentation of the dish is unique with a thin layer of dough baked on the top of this clay pot - essentially keeping in the heat and helping the meat in the dish stay tender. The clay pot also kept the temp of the dish really hot so be patient and let it cool a bit before you dig in! My oldest tried Iskender Kebab. While it was the same beef/lamb meat combo as my dish, the tomato sauce was a nice option for something different with the taste along with the yogurt sauce. We split an order of the Pistachio Baklava which was perfect knowing how sweet that dessert is.Our meal was delicious, our only challenge was the service was on the slower side as they had a full restaurant and two servers managing all the patrons. Our server was great, he just had a lot he was juggling. Given the size of the restaurant is small, it is best to make reservations. They've done a nice job creating an intimate environment with the space they are working with for the dining room. When the weather is nice, they offer outdoor tables as an option as well. We look forward to coming back to try other dishes.

Casserole is amazing (tried the lamb and beef). My belly is extremely happy. Food sized portions, but save room for dessert!

Amazing and great Turkish/Mediterranean food! We went with a group of six and made reservations in advance. The restaurant is small but comfortable and you don't feel crowded. Our group started with a couple appetizers starting with the Grape Leaves, Baked Hummus with Soudjouk, the Homemade Cheese Pie and an order of the falafel. Everything was excellent, with the grape leaves and falafel being my favorite. For the entrees, most of the group went with either the Chicken Shish or Iskander, however, I chose the Lamb Shish. I was a little disappointed with the lamb shish since the meat was a little tougher than I anticipated, but had great flavor. I would have liked the meat cooked a little more tender and less chewy. The Chicken Shish and the Iskander were both wonderful and cooked perfectly! Service was great and loved the Turkish music playing in the background, which gave it an authentic and lively vibe.

We came in a bit of a larger group and they were so accommodating and moved tables around. Our server was also extremely patient with our questions regarding the menu and was very thoughtful and asked if anyone had allergies. The member who had allergies was then shown all the dishes he would be able to eat safely. And honestly, the food was the best we've had since we came to Florida. We started with 2 delicious appetizers: the falafel and hummus and it came with bread fresh from the oven. Incredible! Not to mention on our main dishes, the portion sizes were huge and the food was fresh and flavorful. We finished our delightful experience off with Turkish coffees. If I could eat at this spot every day, I would!

The food, service and ambiance were perfect! I fully recommend this restaurant! 100% I wanted Florida seafood on my trip, but this authentic Turkish food was the best meal of my trip, hands down!
