De Javu - Memphis

Looking for Memphis restaurants with vegan options on the menu and decided on De Javu. Ended up having lunch and dinner there during this trip and would highly recommend the place to anyone looking for vegan and/or New Orleans creole style cuisine. It was great to have vegan entrees which were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The energy level in this little restaurant during dinner service is contagious. A fun experience.

You go to Memphis for the BBQ, but if you are downtown and looking for something different, this place makes you feel you are in the middle of a New Orleans neighborhood. My wife and I lived in New Orleans for 20 years, and everything here is just like being there. An added bonus is that a large portion of the menu is vegetarian. It is all deliciousness. I had the veggie plate (four of the vegetable sides) and a cup of seafood gumbo. My wife had a catfish topped with crawfish etouffe. We shared a grilled boudin and finished with bread pudding. Highly recommended.

The services and the food was outstanding. The servers were very attentive to our needs. One server Masrshall even stayed and blessed the food.

Our waiter Nile was excellent, he was very professional and provided great insight about the menu. Highly recommend De Javu if you enjoy good New Orleans cuisine.

I loved the food as well as the service at Dejavu. My husband is a critic when it comes to New Orleans food since he's from Louisiana. He loved the taste and the spices of the food. I would recommend if you love New Orleans cruisine it's a must!! The location is great also.
