Drove past CSN Charleston to the $5 car wash further down the street and saw the Grand Opening sign outside of Flame Kabob. I recognized the name as the one on Sunset, which I have not been to. So after washing the car and working up a sweat just vacuuming my car, I decided to head back and check out Flame Kabob.
The restaurant is fast casual Persian kabob chain restaurant. Since it is still very new, the interior looks really clean and the tables and chairs are in good condition. The kitchen where the staff prepare and plate the food is very clean. If you want you can see them roll out the dough and bake the fresh bread.
Their menu is available for viewing online, so I didn't bother taking pictures of their menu. But they also have pick two out of three kubideh (beef, chicken and lamb) for $9.99. A sweet deal which I took advantage of. The food took awhile to prepared, since it was made to order and didn't bother me due to my lack of time constraints. But for me it was totally worth it. The bread was fresh and delicious. The kubidef (beef and chicken) came off the special grill still steaming hot, and was delicious, flavorful and still very juicy and moist inside.
I also tried their Pistachio Rose Water Persian ice cream. It was good, with some pistachio pieces in the ice cream but the relatively dominant flavor is still rose water.
The cashier followed up with each diner to ask us about the food we ordered. And they will soon have 3rd location in Las Vegas.
The hours:
Mon-Sat 11am - 9pm
Sun 12pm - 8pm
Price - seems high but most Persian restaurants are. The pick two of three Kubideh (ground meat skewers) is a relatively good value though.
Food - I enjoyed everything except their grilled tomato and their Saffron Rice (bland). The meats were hot and juicy, and still piping hot when they plated my food. Ice cream worth a try.
Service - friendly
Overall 4 stars for me. And I will be back to try more items.
