Phoenix Flame

Wow. Top 3 restaurants I've had in Chicago. No joke. The food was amazing, the owners were so nice and we had a lengthy conversation with them about life. It was honestly one of the greatest experiences I've had at a restaurant because of how they treated us. Order the skirt steak sandwich, it is delicious.

This place is AMAZING! cozy, clean and the owners are really kind and attentive. Their statement of Mediterranean-Latin food is far from just a statement, their dishes are a real experience for your senses, it is worth taking a turn an try this gem in Niles Illinois.

I look forward to coming here every time I’m home from University! I’ve gotten the NY Strip Steak sandwich twice and it’s my favorite; the steak is perfectly cooked and tender over a layer of avocado-pico on a french bread. I also recently tried the steak and fries (pictured here) and it was extraordinary. In fact, it’s even better than steak and fries I’ve had at other restaurants. Overall, I really love the food at thus place and recommend it to everyone!

Pretty good. However, the chicken sandwich was pretty mild, more sweet than any noticeable spice. If there was a hotter sauce on side, that would have been nice. The bulgogi taco, I would have liked to be cut up a bit more; the meat cut was not bite size. Besides this it was some good and interesting fusion cuisine. Presentation was great.

If you’re experiencing fine dining with unmatched hospitality you must be at Phoenix Flame. The care Yanko and his staff put into their fresh fare doesn’t stop at just the food, it’s seen in their dedication to serving the customer until you are completely satisfied. While I dined in this evening I was guided through the menu taking suggestions on what would best suit my pallet and given the backstory on how menu items have found their place. I knew then this wasn’t just a spot for a quick bite, but an establishment built on serious consideration on how to bring people and food together. Settling with both the Niles Hot Chicken and the John Hogan NY Strip Sandwich, Yanko was kind enough to cut them for us and serve each of them so we can have half of each. You can’t go wrong with either one, however if you don’t start your meal with the Martinez Cups you ARE doing it wrong! Phoenix Flame has a lot to offer and you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not going in and having your next meal there. Thank you Phoenix Flame, I surely will be back soon.
