Review by Manuela Pfannerstill

Flames is a cozy Caribbean gem in Dorchester that I've frequented for years! 🌴 The vibe is casual, perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back dinner.

I tried the curried chicken during brunch, and while it had a comforting flavor, I was hoping for more seasoning. The real highlight, however, was the strong, aromatic coffee. ☕

Service can be hit or miss, with occasional waits at peak times, but this spot truly shines for its ambiance and variety. A solid choice for a taste of the Caribbean... just a few tweaks in the kitchen would elevate it even more!
