Flames Restaurant

"Save yourself the trauma and eat elsewhere. We attended as for a 40th birthday party, approx. 60 people. Our meal was booked in advance (meze) and the booking was from 7pm. We waited over an hour for pitta and dips to arrive... a sign of things to come. We averaged 45 minutes between courses and our meal took almost 5 hours. Our plates were only changed on request and it got so bad that I had to collect the previous courses empty dishes myself and take them to the kitchen. The food was average at best, I also got to experience lamb sushi for the first time :/ it will be a miracle if no one in attendance wakes up with food poisoning. The owner / manager is awful and blames his staff for everything, this includes humiliating them publicly. I felt genuinely sorry for our waitress who bore the brunt of so many frustrations and was left in tears by the owner. Completely unacceptable and disgusting behaviour. Waitress (I'm so sorry I didn't catch your name given all the drama) you did a great job in a horrible situation. You have 60 witnesses who will stand with you at an employment tribunal if you need us. Tell a friend, to tell a friend, to tell a friend, to NEVER set foot in this poor excuse of a restaurant. AVOID"

"Worst Dining experience I've ever had!!! Under staffed and the owner taking out on young waitresses which brought them to tears. He grabs 1 by the arm and dragged her into the kitchen! Food was average at best and the hygiene was disgusting. A damp dirty rag was used to clean our table which left and awfull after smell. I had to request a form of bleach spray to be used to get rid of it. The owner couldn't of cared less. You asked to speak to a manager and he said he didn't know who it was. You ask where the owner is and he said I don't know. All in all it took 4.5 hours to receive our main course! This place should close its doors tonight and never reopen!"

"The food looked awful, full of parsley and the chips were full of oil. The waiter attitude was not welcoming and we had to wait for the food for 35 min. The only nice thing was the live music but the rest was horrible."

"Very nice atmosphere, very friendly. Saturday set menu and live entertainment. Was first time there, I really liked it. The only problem for myself was they had pork as well within there set menu which I didn't know about. So next time I'll ask to have my menu without pork. Will go again."
