Taste is great, I'd prefer less fat on the oxtails, and a better portion as I paid 31.00 for the meal and no option for sides nor does the items allow you to know what comes with the dish. Definitely give it a try , I haven't found many trini restaurants in philly.

I honestly am so sad that this place is closed now -- where will I get my buss up shot now? Food was always excellent, delicious and hot. Portions would be so large, I'd have enough for at least another meal (or two).
What a loss. Their food was fresh and delicious. Curry goat was good; curry chicken was AMAZING.

I used to order flambo pre Covid maybe twice a month. At the time I thought they had the best oxtails in the city. A little pricey, but worth it. Yes was the first time I ordered from here in almost 3 years and I can say for certain that it is not the same anymore. To start, I drained maybe 3-4 tablespoons of GREASE from the pint container the oxtail was in. I would like to add that the pint container was maybe 65% full? For a $31 meal that is ridiculous. Pre covid the oxtail used to fill 2 people up. Now it isnt even worth eating. The taste has changed, the grease is ridiculous, and the portion is crazy. Thats a kids meal basically. I actually had to cook more rice because what was given was the equivalent to a cup and a half of cooked rice. I like this place and the people, but I feel genuinely ripped off. I spent $31 for what basically amounted to a tasting menu. In short, nobody should order this Oxtail until they get their stuff together.
On a positive note, the Curry Chicken Dhalpuri was amazing.

The Tandoori Grilled Lamb Chops - Appetizer may be one if the best bites of food I've ever had & the Pholourie is incredibly pillowy & still dense.
The only issue I have is the Tandoori Grilled Lamb Chops - Appetizer were a bit on the small side, so not entirely sure they were worth the full price. But still absolutely delicious!

Honestly it was okay but the roti was very soggy and the curry made my stomach hurt. As a true Trinidadan who grew up with island parents, this is far from it. To anyone looking for roti I would definitely recommend brown sugar cafe because flambo just wasn't it.
