Updating my review as Yardy has since transformed into a full restaurant and bar!
Yardy makes market-driven West Indian fare, meaning as a vegan you're going to enjoy the freshest local produce available. It also means the menu will slightly change seasonally, which is exciting.
What started as a food truck has expanded into a full restaurant complete with a rum cocktail menu, indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter when you arrive, then seat yourself. Your food is brought to your table as it's ready, and most of the offerings are designed to be shared.
As someone who enjoyed the doubles from their original food truck, that's what I had been craving most. However, I was thoroughly ready to try what else they had come up with!
For small plates we ordered the jerk smoked beets which had so much flavor, and the doubles which comes with a chickpea curry over two pieces of fried flatbread topped with several tasty chutneys.
For the main course we ordered the market curry plate which featured a variety of vegetables cooked to perfection on a bed of curry and aloo with a scoop of rice. Keep in mind there's some heat but not too much handle.
Lastly, we tried a variety of cocktails. It does have rum bar in the name! I don't think you could go wrong but I loved the Fresa Coconut Cooler.
Yardy is making something entirely different than what can be found anywhere else in town, and I love it. Plus, the building and the patio are so cute, you feel transported to another place.
If you've been waiting to check it out, or haven't heard of it yet, get yourself there asap!
