Flames Mediterranean & Grill

The Flyer ties Flames directly to owner Sami Jodeh's Jordanian cooking, a sharper identity than the restaurant's broad name suggests. Toshka, chicken shawarma, tikka, lamb, and freshly prepared hummus give the Highland Street menu its shape. Try the toshka beside one of the grilled meats, with bread and hummus between them. The pairing moves beyond a standard gyro-counter order and toward the source profile's Jordanian focus.
