We had a good experience with Flame ordering the Santorini package for 20. The chicken and rice were delicious, the salad was fresh, and the packaging was thoughtful, particularly the squeeze bottles for the dressing and garlic sauce. The hummus was okay and the tzatziki was good, as was the pita. The main complaint I have is that there was nowhere near enough falafel for 20 people. There were about 20 pieces in total, the aluminum container was nowhere near full, and many people didn't get to try it because a single piece of falafel isn't a serving for one person. The package definitely skewed heavily toward the cheaper things on the menu, like salad and rice. There were a lot of leftovers for both. That being said, would work with these guys again.

Veggie dolma for $5.19 through the Food For All app is not worth it because you can just walk in 30 minutes earlier and get any dish 50% off an hour before closing versus a limited selection 30 minutes before closing through the app. The ladies were nice but the food was incredibly underwhelming. The hummus was the best thing unfortunately. The pickles didn't complement the plate in my opinion. The rice was rice. The eggplant and grape leaves were solid. The falafel were so dry, bland, difficult to choke down, even with the hummus. The sauces available were terrible. Sweet thai chili, some weird white sauce, bbq sauce, and buffalo sauce? If I paid full price I'd be upset at the flavors. They were not flame at all.

Stopped in here for the first time today after working in the area for years. It's easy to miss this place because it is truly a little hole-in-the-wall and the name doesn't really do it justice. I never stopped to wonder what kind of food does "Flame Cafe" make, or perhaps I assumed it was one of those dime-a-dozen sandwich places which are scattered throughout the financial district. Boy, was I wrong! Flame surprised me with a delicious smell walking in and a useful photo menu on the window right next to the door. The place was empty except for me (and this was about noon on a weekday), so I didn't have to wait at all. The service was fast and professional, but not overly friendly. I tried the chicken gyro plate, and it was quite good. The chicken came with rice, some salad including pickle, tzatziki sauce, and a warm pita on the side (optional). I got mine without jalopenos, but they put one slice on the salad as if to say to me, "C'mon, give it a try." I was very happy with the food overall. The greens were fresh and crispy, the chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the portions were generous. A few negatives included that chicken over rice was a little greasy and left a fair amount of oil on the bottom of the to-go container. Also, the to-go container was divided which made mixing in the greens and tzatziki sauce a little tricky. I would have preferred it be served in an aluminum tin with no dividers (like many street vendors in NYC do) so that you can mix it all up easily. Despite these minor drawbacks, this place is well worth a visit again.

Hole in the wall lunch spot near PO Square. Very quick and friendly service. I'm a fan of the chicken promo and I have heard they have good breakfast options as well.

WE had a catering order from Flame and not only was the food A+, Mr David is the most courteous person ever! We mentioned our budget and and the number. of people and we had food that was much more! The chicken, the sauce, the rice all of it was excellent, people came for 2nd and 3rd helpings and was a super duper success. The delivery service was stellar too, from free cutlery to labels for everything, gluten free , vegan - you name it and Mr David caters to it all. Definitely coming back!!! We rate this service and food 10 stars!!!
Company ordered catered from here. Disgusting. Chicken tasted like dried out turkey. They didnt deliver part of order. Salad had no dressing. Hot sauce tasted like ketchup. Edit: this isnt fake. Your food was disgusting and old. Whats yout name? Ill come say Hi and explain in person why your food is disgusting

Flame Cafe has been an outstanding caterer for large (60-100 person) events I have organized at Harvard Medical School. David is a true pleasure to work with - professional, responsive, and working to figure out the best option(s) within a certain budget, dietary preferences/allergies, or other needs. The food is delicious and portions are generous. Delivery was on time and included help with setup. Looking forward to more business with Flame Cafe as part of Harvard Medical School's healthy food policy initiative!

I ordered food from Flame Cafe for an event at Harvard Medical School, and it was an amazing experience! David was so kind to make the catering fit our budget and the delivery was so smooth. The food was also delicious with very large portions. Would definitely recommend this place if you are considering catering for small or large events!

Had the veggie dolma plate. First time eating the dish - loved it! Prices are quite reasonable too. One suggestion would be to substitute out some rice for more veggies/salad.

This place has the BEST food. 100% would recommend to anyone. I get the baked eggplant plate almost every Friday for lunch and it is delicious. I also experienced their catering at my previous place of work and it was always a hit with the whole office.
