Flame & Skewers Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean restaurant in Bakersfield - 5482 California Ave, USA

food was delicious at this location, i ordered a chicken kabob plate and a beef kabob plate came out to $35, worth the price, he gave me a free drink as well 🙌🏼 However, the customer service was 10/10 and is what will make me come back aside from the food being amazing, i didn't catch his name but he was a middle eastern man lol maybe the owner of that location? idk but 10/10 food and service.

Love going here! Food is always delicious at this location 👌

This is one of my go to places for something delicious and quick. Their chicken shawarma bowls are flavorful and filling. You get a very generous portion. I also love their cream soda and root beer fountain drinks! I usually do a blend of the two. Plus the nugget ice is always fun 😄 The flamin fatbelly is delicious, good french fries, and my kids love the chicken kabobs with rice. There is something here for everyone in your family to enjoy. Staff is always super friendly and food is made pretty quick to order.

We loved this restaurant! The food was fabulous! We ordered 2 plates of falafel with salad, pita bread and French fries, everything was fresh and savory! The falafels were the best, not burnt and easy to eat, could actually cut it with a fork, no knife needed, the fries were hot and savory, not salty, and the salad had a wonderful olive oil and vinaigrette dressing! Overall, the plates were large and plenty to eat, won’t go hungry here!

I must say that the food has always been great! Which is why in the past it was always extremely busy to the point of chaos resulting in not receiving your order due to someone else picking it up (I've seen this happen twice). So busy that if you only had an hour or less for your lunch break, you should plan on eating at your desk. However; during this social distancing time this is a restaurant that has turned out much better all around. The customer service was better than ever. The food arrived timely & was brought to our table (due to less customer maybe?). It was a nice, relaxing, stress free lunch. With less people there was speedy service with no confusion unlike my past experiences. Everyone's mood was upbeat oppose to the stressful looks of the past visits from both staff & customers. Overall, I had to give them five stars because this restaurant is handling the limitations beautifully & honest within their customer service. I called ahead of time, the phone was actually answered. The staff member was polite and honest about the wait. It was such a refreshing change from different previous restaurants during the social distancing limitations that I've visited. I left feeling impressed. Message to the staff: Job Well Done. Kudos! BTW--There's no photo of the lamb sandwich because I dove right in & ate it all while the sauce dripped over my salad. Only then, I decided I must rate & take photos. Trust me, it was delicious. My companion had the chicken kabob meal with rice, salad & drink. They commented that their food was delicious as well. We were very pleased. Again, thank you to your awesome staff with excellent customer service. I will visit more often. I look forward to this restaurant keeping this level of service when the social distancing is no longer needed 🤞.

Right when I walked I noticed how spacious the restaurant was. It was very nice inside. The kitchen is all open so you could see them cooking and you could see the chicken and beef layered on the rotisserie which was pretty cool. I got a small chicken salad, which was still a good size, and it was delicious! It came with a vinegaret and a hot sauce and they were both amazing, especially the hot sauce. Definitely recommend eating here. They also have an outside seating area for good weather days.

You have to get the garlic sauce. If you don't get the garlic sauce then there's no point in going here. We got the sweet potato french fries which were a little soft and we let them know and they quickly replaced it with freshly fried crispy ones. And they were very nice about it. The meat has deep and rich flavors. I think any option is really good. And the vegetarian options are also good, the falafel is fresh and great to eat. I highly recommend going and trying at least a shawarma bowl.

The food is usually good here but not worth a cracked tooth. Huge rock in the salad that damaged my molar. When I called to let them know they said there was nothing they could do, except to let the cook know. Messaged customer service through the website of this chain and they still haven’t contacted me.
