Flames

Caribbean restaurant · Mattapan

"What to Eat: The original location of Flames (there are now three others) serves up some of the finest Caribbean food in the area. Any of the various curries will do, as will the tripe and beans. Where to Eat: Massachusetts Audubon’s Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, which is just under a mile from Flames and teeming with more than 100 species of birds. It might be difficult eating stew while out in nature, so maybe eat in the car or on a bench before going birdwatching. How to Order: (617) 296-4972 [takeout]" - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
