The food was super delicious! You can smell the flavorful aroma of their well seasoned foods as soon as you open the door to the restaurant! 👅👅 lol My friend and I dined here and I was very content because Desmond’s was my friends recommendation… I’m a vegan so being at the restaurant was soo satisfying because I had plenty of dishes to choose from. My friend is not a vegan and she still enjoyed herself and ate a flavorful and well portioned dish. The service was fine. The ambiance was descent, plenty of seats inside and outside.
This is not my first time coming here. The owners are very patient. They food is amazing. Great place to start your vegan journey or to just try something new! I recommend the Jerk BBQ for first time! Sweet potatoes, and Tomato dried Rasta pasta is bomb.
I have been under a rock because I had no idea this beautiful spot was here for the last 6 years!! I have always loved "island cuisine" (Especially Trinidadian) and this area has not had luck with having some really good Caribbean food. But now I know where to go!! I got some Channa Curry with authentic Trinidadian ROTI too!! And topped it off with some Island Punch. The first bite took me back to my aunt's kitchen in NY that made the BEST curry. (She made the best saltfish & bakes too!🥰). Desmond's is definitely my spot to hit for awesome food!! ❤️✊🏽💯
I love this spot and the food never disappoints. It makes me feel good to know I'm eating healthy and delicious vegan food and supporting a black owned business. My most recent visit I had the lunch special of Jerk jackfruit "chicken", over rice with collard greens and plantains. Everything was well seasoned with amazing flavors and good portions. I highly recommend this even if you're skeptical about vegan food, this is simply good food. Try it!
This was my FIRST TIME trying Jackfruit. I wasn't disappointed. However, the cole slaw detracted from the sandwich. IF it had been good, the issue that there was SO little put on there would have been a problem. But the cole slaw had chunks of raw cabbage and was a bit dry/underseasoned. 😕 So having 'virtually none' was a blessing. The plantains were hittin'...I would have been happy with a container of those! A bit pricey too. Overall, I wasn't wowed but not completely disappointed. I'll try a couple other items and see how I feel. 🤔 Update: So I tried 2 more dishes. Hoping I'd find a dish I could love. Unfortunately, it just didn't happen. The seasonings are one note/one dimensional. The cabbage is consistently undercooked. This just isn't for me.
