Greek Flame TavernaHidden gem in Dr. PhillipsWe had just returned from Greece and were looking for authentic Greek cuisine. The Greek Flame Taverna filled the bill. We started with fried cheese and spreads. Both were delicious. We then had the village salad which was exactly like the salads we had in Greece. We had the lamb tenderloin for a main which was very tender and flavorful.
The service was outstanding. Irina, our server, waited until we had our salads to take our main order, thus giving us time to see if we wanted to share one or each get our own, since the appetizers and salad were almost equal to a meal. She was very attentive to our needs and wanted to make sure that everything was all right.
Would definitely return to this restaurant.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Greek Restaurant in Orlando!If you enjoy traditional Greek cuisine then this is the place for you! It starts with the traditional Greek appetizers followed by an outstanding Greek salad with quality traditional ingredients. For the main course you will not be disappointed in a lamb or fish dish. You then conclude your meal with outstanding home-made desserts. Eating at Greek Flame Taverna brings me back to my childhood where every Sunday my family would enjoy traditional Greek cooking by my grandfather who was born in Athens!

The tomato and feta appetizer was delicious. The lamb shank entre was superb. Definitely worth a visit.
Like many Florida restaurants, it's tucked in a strip mall, so look carefully and you'll find it.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat GreekVery authentic Greek food. All freshly prepared. Friendly, attentive staff. You can make a meal from the appetizers alone, but don't! The fresh seafood and lamb are fabulous.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent and authentic GreekExcellent and authentic Greek food. The grilled octopus is as good as I've had in Greece.

Their lamb chops and Maria's chicken are so delicious .3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was a great place toThis was a great place to dine. Food was fantastic, cooked perfect for order. Staff very friendly. You have to try rack of lamb / sea platter & Maria's chicken (chef's special) (yum yum yum !!!!). Diverse selection for desserts. Will be going back very soon...Gina3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMIn a sea of overpriced chainIn a sea of overpriced chain restaurants, Greek Flame is a life raft. Privately-owned, understated, and with excellent food. Our server, Stella, was terrific. She has a background working on cruise ships, and that background shines through. Focused wine list--all Greek--with high quality wines versus the typical Rodidys. We ordered saganaki (flaming cheese) and a meat platter for 2. It was more than enough for our party of 3. The chicken and lamb kabobs were tender, the loin chops and roast lamb were expertly prepared, but the gyros stood out. It melted in your mouth! And the Greek custard dessert was the perfect way to end our meal.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMYou should try it!First impression: the succulent and big cubs of lamb kebob let us without words. Once we find this family little restaurant and enjoyed the delicious meal, Greek Flame became as a bijoux that we will not let it go. For starters, we had the excellent black mussels. As a main course, we had lamb kebab and fresh divers scallops over the mix vegetables. In addition, we were impressed by the presentation of the plates and our grilled vegetables : eggplant, zucchini, green pepper, tomatoes and other were fresh grilled. Everything came in a perfect timing and our sweet waitress never escaped us from her eyes. As a result, me and my wife had a perfect romantic dinner in Greek Flame Taverna Restaurant. It's the best in town!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreek Flame is the best!!Excellent service and food. Presentation of the food, was exceptional. The stuffed grape vine leaves, spinach pie and the pita bread with sauces for starters was heavenly. A great start for feeling you are in Greece. The leg of lamb, the special Maria's Chicken was exceptional. Lots of Greek wines offered. Having a bad day, a great place to unwind and enjoy the day. All the servers helped each other. Amazing to see a great team working together. This will be my home away from home. Fantastic restaurant!!!!!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThe menu encompasses somethingThe menu encompasses something for everyone in the true Greek style. The food is cooked fresh on order and uses the best of the ingredients and spices. Leave room for the homemade deserts. Staff is very personable and so willing to please.
