Delicious menu with a lovely ambiance and spacious seating arrangements. Perfectly located in Center City, Flambo offers both brunch / lunch and dinner menus with a great selection of Caribbean-inspired drinks such as rum punch, sorrel-flavored mimosas, and more.
The location and quality menu would be great for attracting a bigger lunch crowd, which right now is pretty small. The restaurant should consider updating their exterior signage to include “Caribbean restaurant” beneath the name so that its more visible to passerby’s. Also expanding the brunch menu to add one more breakfast option and unlimited mimosas to compete with the other brunch offerings in the neighborhood.
As far as the menu goes, we had the chickpea doubles, the curry goat entree, ans the rasta pasta. All were absolutely excellent and transported my best friend back to her time in Trinidad. We’ll definitely be back again!

The ox tail was the best I’ve ever had - it goes so well with the pholouri and plantains. Will be back for date night!
