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.

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!

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.

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.

Dhalpuri was ok, but the curry was like a curry stew with too much channa. Could hardly taste the curry.
