🌍 How We Bring the Med to Memphis

The Mediterranean isn’t just a region — it’s a state of flavor. At Flames, we make sure that state of flavor comes alive right here in Memphis, plate by plate.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Authentic Ingredients, No Shortcuts
Olive oil from the Levant. Spices like sumac, za’atar, and cardamom. Fresh herbs. Halal meats. Our pantry is a passport, and we use it every day. We honor the soul of Mediterranean cooking by sourcing the right stuff and preparing it with respect.

2. A Space That Feels Like Home
The Mediterranean culture is about gathering. It’s about sitting down, sharing a meal, and forgetting the clock. That’s why we designed Flames to feel inviting and cozy — like your favorite uncle’s house, if he happened to be really good at grilling lamb.

3. Community First
Whether you’re a UofM student grabbing lunch, a family celebrating a birthday, or a longtime Memphian craving real shawarma, we welcome everyone with the same smile. We’re proud to serve our neighborhood and be a piece of what makes Highland special.

4. Flavor That Travels
Every bite at Flames tells a story from across the sea — from the smoky heat of our grilled meats to the creamy coolness of our tzatziki. It’s a trip to the Mediterranean, no passport required.

If you haven’t stopped by yet, you’re missing out on a taste of something truly special. Come see why Memphis keeps coming back for more.

See you at the grill,
