" Fantastic food all around! The curry chicken was delightful and I’m not even a big fan of curry! The chef truly makes an effort to ensure the spices are well balanced. The only hiccup was in service; it took a bit longer than expected to get our drinks, but it was worth the wait. Each step of the meal was excellent, and I would come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Flambo has officially made it to my favorite Caribbean restaurants list! I came for the first time last weekend, and I'm already dreaming about my next visit. The curry shrimp is a must-try, and the drinks pack a great punch! My friends raved about the doubles they had, so there's definitely something for everyone. Come by for good food and even better vibes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flambo is a gem in the city! The food is incredibly fresh and authentically Trinidadian. I had the pholourie and curry chicken, both out of this world! The staff is friendly and service is quick and efficient. The atmosphere is lively and colorful, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a fun night out with friends. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolutely delightful experience! I was initially interested in their Indian offerings but was blown away by how authentic and delicious the Trinidadian dishes were. I tried the oxtail and it was perfectly cooked, falling right off the bone. The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were like family. I truly felt like I was dining in Trinidad. Highly recommend them! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Flambo experience was a mixed bag. While the ambiance was vibrant and nice, I found that some dishes did not meet my expectations in terms of authenticity. The butter chicken was enjoyable but didn't taste quite like the real deal. However, the service was exceptional and made me feel welcomed. I would probably return to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Easily one of my favorite restaurants! The food brings me right back to my Caribbean roots. The goat curry was spot-on and the bread was fresh and fluffy. The atmosphere was inviting and perfect for gatherings. I found their service attentive without being intrusive. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Flambo delivered a delightful meal! I had the baked fish and buccaneer punch—pure satisfaction! The modest decor added to the welcoming atmosphere. The service was attentive and cheery. I'd suggest visiting with a group to try a bit of everything; the menu offers so much to sample! " (*Curated Review*)
