Great little reataurant! Quality and authentic food. I had lamb casserole and it was superb. My daughter raved about her lentil soup. Highly recommend.

WOW! I was skeptical of the 5 stars reviews but this place really is as good as it gets. Delicious food‚ welcoming atmosphere and great service. I have been craving for a good chicken shish dish and the one I had here exceeded my expectations. My husband had the lamb casserole and he said it was amazing too. And the baklava is to die for. I just didn't have time to take a picture because it was gone too fast

Made a reservation for 2 and the place filled up very quickly after we arrived with not a table open. Food was so delicious, fresh, and flavorful. We had the veggie casserole, doner kebap, baklava, and haydari and were very impressed with each dish. We love supporting our local small businesses. Restaurant and bathroom are very clean which is always something positive to add.

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The food was incredible , perfectly grilled meats, rich and flavorful spices, and the freshest ingredients. The chicken was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. The staff was attentive, friendly, and truly passionate about the food they serve. You can tell they put heart into every dish.

Excellent experience. We made a reservation, due to the size of the restaurant, and it is recommended if you plan on eating here. The food was authentic cuisine and some of the best I've had. I highly recommend Turkish Flame. Staff is friendly, dress is casual and prices are fair.

This is a relatively new restaurant, and we had the pleasure of visiting on Christmas Eve. Our server was exceptionally kind, polite, and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We had a wonderful time and were so glad we chose this place. It’s truly a hidden gem! I hope this restaurant gains the recognition it deserves, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Tampa.

It's no wonder this restaurant has five stars! We are so glad we tried it! The staff were all very warm and welcoming. We did have a reservation which is recommended so we sat down right away. We sat at a high top near the bar and got to watch the TV which was showing video of areas around Turkey. Looks like an amazing place to go! The food here is excellent. We had the Oven Baked Hummus with Sucuk with the fresh pita. It was fantastic! Then we shared the Iskender which was a new thing for us. It was flavorful and delicious. Then to top it off we got the baklava with some vanilla ice cream. We well taken care of and enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend!

Our server and the owner were so nice and welcoming! They answered all our questions and also checked with the table to see if anyone had food allergies. The food was so delicious and flavorful! It was really so good our group ate there two times in one week. The first time I go the doner kebab and the second I got the flatbread. 100/10 would recommend!
