Absolutely outrageous! I ordered a Rasta pasta. It smelled sour and weird. It smelled everything in my house. The food was in FACT SOUR and I was already bad. It made my house smell terrible. I was served inedible food. Will never return! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

We had the oxtail, with rice and beans and cabbage. I think I was supposed to get plantain but not sure. The food was flavorful except for one thing. Why do you feel the need to use so much salt? We have voiced our opinion before and there is still no change. We cannot be the only ones that feel this way. Please cut back on the salt. We would eat from there more often if it wasn't for the salt.

UPDATE: PRICES KEEP GOING UP ON EVERYTHING! I USUALLY GET A SMALL CURRY CHICKEN FOR LUNCH! IT WAS 10.99 WENT UP TO 12.99 ….TODAY I TRIED FOR BREAKFAST THE YOUNG LADY TOLD ME CURRY IS 16$ now medium only and if I wanted COLLADO IT WOULD BE 19$. SO BASICALLY 2 BREAKFAST ITEMS FOR BREAKFAST FOR 20$. YALL LOST ME!! ✌️ I always go to this flames I would consider it the best out the handful in Boston. It’s a new building and I’m sure they have a different chef usually go for a chicken meal whether it’s , curry , bbq or sweet chilli. There’s also Jerk chicken if you like a little kick. On this visit it was pretty good as usual but my veggies were cold and seeing as how I came in fairly early in the afternoon I would figure that everything would be fresh and hot or if not fresh at least hot. I’ve

Lesson learned. Never buying anything from this location ever again or recommending anyone I know to buy from here. Unsanitary and bad business. I hate to do this because I really like the food and support Caribbean business but I can’t support you if you don’t support us. TERRIBLE FOR BUSINESS!!! Take a look ay my pictures for yourself!

Really love the jerk chicken. My first two visits were for dinner and I found that a lot of the pieces were mostly bone with a tiny bit of dark meat. However, my third visit was at lunchtime and the dish was fantastic, with lots of white meat. I do hope they'll add Apple Pay support again soon!
