Your New Vegan Trinidadian Best Friend - Edit
Finding this spot in the Heights was such an unexpected and happy surprise. If you're bored of veggie burgers and hummus wraps (and let's face it, who isn't?) and wish you could safely enjoy interesting cuisines from around the world without worrying about accidentally ingesting a pig eye, well now you do.
David and Son's is not a vegan or even a vegetarian restaurant, but they know exactly what is in each dish, cook all their vegetable entrees in oil, and make everything as fresh as it can be. Ingredients are bought at start of day and whatever is left at day's end is donated to a homeless shelter so you are always eating food that was made same-day. Nothing is frozen.
Veg/vegans can eat most if not all of the vegetable entrees (ask first to be sure) - I particularly liked the okra fry. Trinidadian specialties include the "Buss up Shot", a delicious pile of roti that looks like a "busted up shirt", or dhal puri roti (similar but with yellow split pea flavoring on the inside. I haven't tried "doubles" yet but they looked delicious.
Don't let the modest storefront stop you from checking out this gem!
