The Flavor Spot ll

"With island art on the wall, hanging chandeliers, and mannequins decked out in Trini carnival costumes, you would think Flambo is putting on a production you might find across the street at The Met. But unlike the opera house, you won’t have to keep reloading the Ticketmaster page to get your hands on an order of blackened shrimp sauteed in a buttery peppery sauce and stewed chicken drenched in a tomato sauce—they’re pretty open when it comes to reservations. When you stop by, go for the curry chicken dhalpuri. The takari dish wraps strips of chicken, chickpeas, and onions in a warm flatbread. " - candis mclean

"On summer Wednesdays at Dilworth Park, it’s perfectly acceptable to get intoxicated on the front lawn of the City Hall. But once you've seen that unhinged scene, you’re just going want a place to escape to. While Flambo isn't City Hall, their blackened shrimp should be a Philly institution. Head here for a plate of them, along with lightly fried wings and curry mussels. " - candis mclean

"With island art on the wall, colorful chandeliers, and mannequins decked out in Trini carnival costumes, you would think Flambo is putting on a production you might find across the street at The Met. Luckily, you won’t have to keep reloading the Ticketmaster page to get your hands on an order of blackened shrimp sauteed in a buttery, peppery sauce and stewed chicken drenched in a tomato sauce—the Center City spot is pretty open when it comes to reservations. When you stop by, go for the curry chicken dhalpuri. The takari dish wraps strips of firey chicken, slow-simmered chickpeas, and grilled onions in a warm flatbread." - candis mclean
