This is the dining experience you’ve been looking for!!It certainly was for me, my only mistake is meeting one friend here for a catch-up chat….we needed MORE people to sample more of the menu!I’m a Toronto born south-Asian who knows very little about Turkish food but I asked a local foodie friend where to go and he told me this is the spot.3 things made this a 10/10 for me (and I’m a frequent business traveler for work so it’s rare a restaurant really knocks me off my feet like this):1) Straight-up, the food is outstanding. It’s from different regions of Turkey so ask your server questions about it, do not be embarrassed. This is a family business and they are proud to share and guide you through to have a great experience. I love steak and the charcoal fire method here brought us Lamb so tender, succulent and delicious we already planned what we will eat on our next visit (with more friends)2) The decor, atmosphere and vibe are a rich experience in an area falling prey to mediocre chain after chain after chain. I even stayed after my guest left to just explore some of the unique decor and soak it in. That ceiling!3) When I sat down the owner introduced themselves and as it was my first visit, shared their vision, how to enjoy my visit by being bold with food choices and honestly the man spoke to me like family. Warm, caring for my enjoyment of his food and although it’s a little more pricey then the chains next door, the food + experience was perhaps underpriced.I hate that my pictures just can’t do the place, decor and food justice. Was there for a meeting with a friend and I don’t like to take too many pictures when I’m with people but wow, the plating and even the cutlery were of such thoughtful design, I can see them in my mind still, hours later.Hidden gem, loved their bigger tables for groups and families…the joy, the culture the clear care for every detail.Will see them again soon, highly recommend.Tip: It’s steps from Transit and there is a safe/cheaper Green P city parking lot across the street (saving you from sketchy impossible parking on Bloor) across from the TTC station. Perfect location.Best to call for reservations, they don’t have a great website but it’s legit.

The most beautiful warm sweet place, the owners are such warm welcoming and joyous people, their food is done with great attention to nuance and presented beautifully, each dish described as presented, with the story of where it came from. The meats we had were served with fruits and it was so delicious. The design of the place is effortless yet tasteful and playful - exactly what you need to relax. With great attention to detail like dishes napkins and furniture, right away you see the owners’ artistic eye behind the set up, and the wall murals are in progress. Everything they do, they do with care.The atmosphere was truly precious, fun and cozy, when you come you feel at home and I’m sure I’m not the only one to feel this way. When you come, the warms of the place reminded me of that natural sweet warmth of a log cabin heated with a fireplace. They have beautiful upstairs patio for summer, but the inside is so beautiful that I don’t feel like I missed out (I came in the autumn)Thank you so much for an amazing wonderful magical evening! Will come here from all the way in north York, because it’s worth the trip and infinitely more

A very unique and pleasant restaurant to visit. The food was amazing and completely something different. The service was amazing and we have been very happy with the suggestions for food. Friendly and nice experience. They serve you with charcoal bread which is completely black but no burning taste. All our dishes were amazing. These are just a few.

Fantastic service and excellent food. We walked in just after 1 on a Sunday. Unbeknownst to us, it was just the chef present at the time. He seated us, served us, and even poured our tea for us. They hooked us with the charcoal bread. We had a great time and even ordered 2 desserts. 10 out of 10 would visit again.

A night at Flame is a unique and unforgettable experience. It offers a perfect blend of familiar yet experimental dishes that you leave you wanting more. The owners and staff are especially welcoming and delightful. Easily one of the best experiences of my trip to Canada.

The appetizers were amazing and the plates were extremely pretty, mostly the Atlantic. The main plate was the lamb ribs and it was extremely fatty, it was mostly fat which we told the owner about and they said that it is the authentic way to make the meal and the sides were cold. But I’ve had lamb at many places and it doesn’t taste like that to be honest. And it made us feel a bit sick after. Overall, it was a good experience. Amazing hospitality. :) the issue was the main course and they charged us for something that we did not want.

Don't let the casual first impression or wobbly stair rail fool you -- the food is amazing. We'd recommend every dish we were able to try (we were full after one appetizer each and sharing a main dish), and we look forward to returning to try more of the menu.Service was knowledgeable and friendly.We appreciated the natural light and quiet of the upstairs patio. This place is almost perfect.We include a picture of the tasting menu, which we'll consider for next time.

My friends and I had a great experience trying this neighbourhood restaurant for the first time. The food presentation was amazing, and the taste did not disappoint. I found the portion sizing to be perfect, and the atmosphere was very pleasant (we chose the patio). We’ll be back.

Such a beautiful hidden rooftop patio they had! I've never tried much Turkish food before but it was amazing! Owners Irem and Serhat are so passionate about their food, culture and design! They had a story behind every drink and dish and we learned more about Turkish culture through their meal. I absolutely loved their octopus!
