Flambo Caribbean Restaurant

I had the pleasure of dining at Flambo Caribbean/Indian Restaurant in Center City yesterday, and it was truly a culinary delight. From the moment we stepped in, the experience was exceptional. To start, I ordered the oxtails, which arrived in a flavorful gravy alongside perfectly cooked beans and rice. The rich and savory combination of the oxtails and the accompanying sides was an absolute treat for the taste buds. My dining companion opted for the curry goat, a fragrant dish accompanied by curry chickpeas and rice. Both dishes were generously portioned and showcased the restaurant's commitment to authentic flavors. What truly stood out, however, was the complimentary buss-up-shot that accompanied our meals. This traditional Caribbean flatbread added a delightful texture to our dining experience, complementing the main courses perfectly. For drinks, we indulged in the sorrel and mango lassi. The sorrel had a refreshing tanginess, while the mango lassi was a sweet and creamy delight. These beverages paired seamlessly with our meals and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall dining experience. Our waiter deserves special mention for his exceptional service. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, he elevated our dining experience. To our surprise and delight, he even treated us to a free appetizer, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to customer satisfaction. The atmosphere at Flambo strikes a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. The ambiance is inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The extensive menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. What particularly caught my attention was the fantastic deal they offer—$55 per person for 2 appetizers, 1 starter, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, and a free roti or buss-up-shot. This not only provides great value but also allows patrons to explore the diverse offerings on the menu. In conclusion, Flambo Caribbean/Indian Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The impeccable food, delightful drinks, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere make it a standout dining destination. I wholeheartedly give Flambo a solid 5-star rating and look forward to returning to savor more of their delectable offerings.

Really a nice gem we stumbled upon. I like their happy hour window, the cocktails and bar seemed a bit more high end. Though we didn't try! Every part of the food was delicious. Pakora, Roti, Curry Mussels, Butter Chicken, Oxtail, and corn soup. Oxtail and the mussels by far my favorite! One thing too. They were extremely short staffed and the cook was apparently the waiter and he WAS AMAZING. I hope he gets help the he needs soon. He made our night and gave good little pointers about how to enjoy some of the things we ordered together

A hidden gem! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We stopped in prior to a wedding for a quick bite and everything to do with it was perfect. The food we ate here was cooked to perfection, and hit the exact spice levels we asked for! The service was an amazing balance of attentiveness and providing space for us to enjoy the food and the people we were with. And the atmosphere was such a great balance of chill vibes with a very cool clean look! 5 stars!
