Desi's Downtown Restaurant

I actually won a meal at Desi‘s this week and it was also my first time eating there. The food was absolutely delicious and I was recommended to have the banana pudding and it was also delicious if you leave there hungry it’s on you. I would highly recommend that sees you get what you pay for And a big selection. And also the staff was very friendly .Thank you once again I promise I will be back.😋

Maybe I went on an off day! I'm seeing these reviews and think that I ate at a completely different restaurant. First of all, I was taken aback by the giant Trump Triump sign on the door. That, Fox news on the TV, and the new U.S and Israeli flags on the wall, shows me that they only intend to cater to a certain segment of people. Or be glad to accept anyone's money, while disrespecting them in their face.. So with that, they don't share my business sense or my openness to all people, so I won't go back. However, back to the food.
The servers were friendly, the food was less than average. From the extreme salt taste and the blandness, most is obviously from cans. The mac n cheese was creamy but salty and short on cheese flavor. The catfish and mullet wete both decent tasting. The seafood pasta was salty, but ok. The gumbo, after constantly picking out the bark pieces from the okra, was ok. That's a canned thing, if you don't know. Take it from a Louisiana boy. The rutabagas and sweet tea were both really good. Very overpriced for the quality and selection.
