Chef's pick
Flames started with a simple idea: the food Sami grew up on — smoky, generous, made-to-order — deserved a home in the University District. No shortcuts, no freezer aisle.
Every kebab hits real charcoal. Every pita is warmed to order. Every sauce is ours. It's Mediterranean cooking with a Memphis welcome.
Every kebab and shawarma is grilled over live coals for that unmistakable smoke.
Warmed to order so every wrap is soft, pillowy, and never sits around.
Garlic toum, tahini, and house hot sauce — made in-house, never from a bottle.
Built the way you want it, when you order it. Halal, always.
Rated across hundreds of Google reviews from Memphis regulars.
“Best gyro in Memphis, full stop. The meat is smoky and the garlic sauce is unreal. I'm here every week.”
“Kebab plate was huge, fresh, and perfectly grilled. Falafel is crispy outside, fluffy inside. Great value too.”
“Found my new spot by campus. Staff are so friendly and the shawarma is authentic. Highly recommend.”
“The mint lemonade + a mixed grill is my perfect lunch. Portions are generous and everything tastes fresh.”
