Nanaimo’s New Go-To for Bold Flavours, Warm Hospitality, and Community Pride - Introducing Flamez Chicken
If you’ve walked through downtown Nanaimo lately, chances are you’ve caught the delicious aroma drifting from 299 Wallace Street. That’s Flamez Chicken, the city’s newest spot for juicy, flavour-packed fried and grilled chicken that’s quickly winning over locals.
But this isn’t just another quick-service restaurant. Flamez is proudly Canadian, locally owned, and deeply connected to the community it serves. From its signature recipes to its friendly team and commitment to giving back, Flamez is as much about people as it is about food.
A Taste Built on Patience and Passion
At the heart of Flamez Chicken’s menu is their signature 12-hour marinated fried chicken. A process that allows every bite to be infused with a unique blend of spices. The chicken is hand-breaded in-house for that perfect golden crunch, then served piping hot for maximum flavour.
And then there’s the butter gravy; rich, creamy, and completely unique to Flamez. Served alongside the chicken, it’s become an instant favourite and a flavour hit that’s unlike anything else in Nanaimo.
The menu offers more than just fried chicken. Guests can enjoy smoky flame-grilled drumsticks, loaded wraps, stacked burgers, rice bowls, fresh salads, and comfort sides like crispy fries, creamy coleslaw, and golden-brown mozzarella sticks.
Everything is prepared fresh in-house, and the entire menu is 100% Halal, catering to a wide range of dietary preferences while ensuring quality and consistency in every order.
Flamez Favourites You Can’t Miss
While every item on the menu has its fans, there are a few standout dishes that have quickly become community favourites:
Flamez Hot Wings – Spicy, tangy, and addictive. Perfect for game night or a weekend treat.
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich – A sweet and savoury combo of teriyaki glaze, grilled pineapple, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
Butter Chicken Rice Bowl – Comfort in a bowl, with tender chicken in a rich butter sauce served over fluffy rice.
Loaded Poutine – A Canadian classic elevated with fresh toppings and Flamez’s signature flavours.
Pair your meal with one of their cold summer drinks — like the upcoming Verry Berry or Mango Mello, for the perfect finish.
More Than a Place to Eat
What sets Flamez apart is its community-first approach. From the day they opened their doors, the team has been committed to being more than just a restaurant.
In just a short span, Flamez has hosted fundraisers, run fun giveaways, and even donated $1,250 to the Nanaimo Child Development Centre to support local children and families.
The atmosphere inside reflects that same spirit, warm, welcoming, and perfect for gathering with friends or family. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or a weekend meal with loved ones, Flamez has quickly become a spot where people feel at home.
A Growing Local Favourite
Despite being a relatively new name in Nanaimo, Flamez has already built a loyal following. Their social media pages are full of glowing reviews, customer photos, and excited comments from people eager to visit.
Families often stop in after work for a hearty dinner. Students drop by for quick takeout between classes. Friends meet up to share a bucket of wings and catch up over a Coke. It’s these little everyday moments that have helped Flamez become part of the city’s dining culture so quickly.
