Flame And Skewers - Bakersfield

We were in town for the drag races and ready for dinner after eating food truck/fair food all day. Looking for something fresh and homemade. It looked like this place would fit the bill so we gave it a chance.Tommy greeted us and was friendly and happy to answer questions we had on the menu. I ordered the chicken wrap with garlic sauce and a side of tabbouleh and my friend ordered the chicken shawarma plate. The salad and tabbouleh came out quickly. Both were larger portions that I expected and were fresh and cold. A few minutes later the shawarma plate and my wrap came out. Again, very generous portions and steaming hot. The wrap was delicious and large enough that I saved half to take to the races the next day. I tasted my friend's shawarma and rice and it was great as well. Chris the manager checked on us several times to make sure everything was good and we didn't need anything. The next day I finished the second half of my wrap it was just as delicious cold right out of the ice chest. Later that evening when we were looking for dinner options, I mentioned that we should go back to Flame and Skewers. We had friends with us and they wanted to try it after our rave review of the night before. This time I ordered the chicken kabob plate with rice and hummus and salad. The dressing was fantastic and Chris told me it was homemade on site as was almost everything on the menu. The chicken and rice were both flavorful and the chicken was moist and tender. Our friends loved the beef kabob plates they ordered. The baklava was the perfect finish to the perfect meal.The place is small but clean. They were doing a brisk take-out business. The food was top notch all across the board and the wonderful customer service made the meal just that much better. I wish you would open up in LA! Thanks Chris and Tommy! See you next year.

Doesn't seem your app transferred all the items you sold me.

I walked in and the lady said they are closed. When I said that it says you close at 8, she said oh we decided to close early tonight. I found that very inconvenient and they could at least close their door…

Consistent, always leaves me full and feeling healthy.

I love the chicken Kabob plate, with the sweet potato fries, salad and extra veggies. Service and food is always great at this location!!
