Flames

Flames at 162a Woodhouse Lane occupies a student-district staple position on the university strip. The broad menu covers pizzas, kebabs, burgers, shawarma dishes, fried chicken, salads and curries — a wide card that doubles as a late-night menu for the surrounding student population. Shawarma-style dishes, with marinated rotisserie meat sliced into wraps and pitta, give Flames a Middle Eastern dimension that distinguishes it from straightforward pizza shops. The Woodhouse Lane address benefits from high student footfall throughout the academic year, particularly in the evening when nearby lectures have ended.
