The Northland just got a little tastier and a whole lot sweeter. Flame Grill & Mediterranean Bakery quietly opened its doors in a strip mall I know a little too well (karaoke nights at the bar next door, anyone?). But despite the familiar setting, this new bakery instantly grabs your attention with the scent of warm spices, fresh-baked pita, and desserts you’ll regret skipping if you don’t pace yourself.
My daughter and I popped up here in an attempt to dodge another round of fries and sandwiches (it’s been a busy week) when we stumbled on this gem.
I had every intention of ordering the butter chicken clay pot and a comforting round of hummus and pita, but my daughter, who’s equal parts persuasive and playful, convinced me to get the chicken gyro instead. She was right.
The gyro was stacked with grilled white meat chicken, tucked in warm pita with garlic aioli, onions, and lettuce. It came with seasoned fries, and we didn’t leave a crumb behind. The hummus and pita? So smooth and perfect for scooping straight into your mouth with zero shame.

But here’s where it gets serious: the baklava. We almost skipped it. You know the drill: full bellies, polite “maybe next time” glances. But we pushed through. And thank the dessert gods we did—flaky, buttery, honey-drenched bliss.
So take it from me: swing by Flame Grill, say yes to the gyro, double yes to dessert, and if it’s too much to eat in one sitting, take it to go!
Flame Grill & Mediterranean Bakery is located at 8154 NW Prairie View Road, Kansas City, MO 64151.
