De Islands was founded in 2003 by Persaud together with his cousin Harrinarine Jagnarine, an owner-operated kitchen built to bring real Caribbean cooking to the community.
What started as a spot for the Caribbean community quickly won over the whole neighborhood. Two decades later, the mission hasn't changed: consistently high-quality meals and service, whether you're grabbing take-out or catering a crowd.
Craving jerk but can't leave the couch? De Islands is on Uber Eats and DoorDash, just a click away.
Lunch, dinner or late-night craving, we've got you covered at both locations.
Call ahead for pickup, get it delivered, or let us cater your next big lime.
