I wish I took a photo but it was gone that quick. $18 jerk chicken plate that came with FOUR pieces of chicken, plantains and cabbage. I literally came on here to see where I can find them tomorrow because I cannot stop thinking about that cabbage. Jerk was so good. Just the right spice that I ate the first piece and didn't even sauce it up. Food is fresh too. Waited about 15 minutes for it, and will happily do that again. read more

Dilan's came to my work today as a lunch option and it was perfect. It was a wild, rainy day; the kind of weather which lends itself perfectly to a well seasoned, fresh and warm meal. This dish soothed my soul in ways I did not expect. The vegan curry had a flavor profile that any patron would still be thinking about long after the dining experience. The texture of the chickpeas was 10/10: Tender but not mushy, firm but not toothy; A spectacular vehicle awash with the rich & layered curry flavor. The rice was cooked to the ideal limit: sticky but not gluey. A gentle bed of warmth and texture to compliment the curry, accompanied by plantains of paradise. I can't imagine how I am supposed to enjoy dinner tonight. If Dilan's is anywhere in a 50 mile radius, I recommend making the journey because it is out of this world. read more

Absolutely delicious food! I ordered the 2 protein combo with Jerk Chicken & Curry Chicken, Mac&Cheese, & Grilled Asparagus. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The Pineapple Ginger juice is a great balance of sweet, citrus, and bite of ginger. There was a little wait, but well worth everything second for this delicious food.

Holy smokes! A friend picked up an oxtail plate with 2 sides for me and I couldn't believe my tastebuds. The oxtails were so tender and the sauce was extremely flavorful without being too salty or spicy. Just perfect. The platanos fritos were fried perfectly as well. The rice was yummy! read more

I had an incredible experience at Dillan's Caribbean Grill. The food was nothing short of amazing.

Dilans Carribean Grill was a vendor at the Street Food Cinema ft. Do the Right Thing Juneteenth celebration. I've been craving Caribbean food for a while now. So this was a no-brainer to me I knew exactly which food truck I was gonna try. The line had a nice amount of customers waiting. So that made me confident this was a clear-sign of goodness. Lol...... Sadly I was wrong The curry was okay it could have had more of a flavorful taste to be honest. I was also disappointed that they only gave me 3 asparagus. I'm sad I didn't get the flavor I was looking for here. read more

Dilans Carribean Grill - Lobster taco!!!! Bomb!!! - Food Trucks Near Me

By far one of my favorite food trucks I look forward to when they pop up around L.A. He has some great recipes. The Jerk Chicken is his staple. Very flavorful and just the right amount of kick to it. It's a recipe he's crafted through out the years, but besides that there's also some other must try items you should look for. I always look forward to the ox tails. Another must try and I get sad when he sells out of them and I miss them because they really are something to look forward to. Jerk Chicken + Ox Tails are number one and two on my list. He also makes some good curry chicken too, it's a sleeper item on the menu. Not to mention his Tri Tip plate is great too. But what's really a sleeper menu item is his burger and fries. Man oh man let me tell you something he does make an incredible burger. I usually make it a bacon cheese burger and customize it with grilled onions, but this time around I ordered the burger and Dilan had a surprise and topped it with Tri Tip along with grilled onions, lettuce and tomato with cheese. I always ask for my burgers to be cooked medium to really savor the flavor. I was not disappointed one bit as this burger was good to the very last bite. Very good place! I also love his plantains and Mac N cheese. You got to look for Dilan when he pops up. He's usually at Upshift Brewery and Melrose Trading Post but keep up with his Instagram because they announce other places they go. Trust me your taste buds will be rewarded. Yet another great black owned business you should come out and visit soon. Dilan and Jewel are really cool people. read more

Dilan's Carribean was a welcome edition this past week at my friend's apartment complex. We looked forward to it all day, checking the menu, deciding what to get! Ordering ahead was super easy and friendly. We texted, they confirmed, 20 minutes later we ran down to grab the grub. We finally settled on a cheeseburger with fries ad the brown chicken with plantains and rice. We really enjoyed everything, good portion sizes, completely reasonable prices. I must say I was obsessed with their fries though! They were so crispy, just the right amount of salt...I was in loveeeee. Couldn't stop popping them! Check their instagram to see where they'll be next! Great food with that island spice. read more

Dilans Carribean Grill - $12 jerk chicken plate w/ rice & peas and asparagus - Food Trucks Near Me

We were lucky enough to have Dilans cater our wedding - the food was a hit! More than a month later I'm still hearing from our guests about how good the food was. They even threw in extra oxtails for my hubby and I at no cost. Highly highly recommnend! read more

I just had their Vegan Platter for dinner tonight. Totally awesome! Great quality food! Excellent taste! Thank you!

Ate there food while at an event at Ivy Station! Very good & reasonable prices! I got salmon, rice, & steamed spinach. My friend got jerk chicken, spinach, and plantains. Got 2 bottles of water for me and one for her. Each $1. They have medium & large plates. My salmon plate took 15 min so they could cook it. Hers only took them to plate it all. Would def eat here again. The steamed spinach was good because it was flavored with either like jerk spice or cumin or some thing I don't know. And then the rice was Jasmine rice. And then the salmon was lightly flavored too. read more

Dilans came to the Sony studio lot today and delivered some delicious grub from the grill! There aren't many reviews on yelp for this place as of yet, but the ones I've read seemed reliable so I decided to give it a go and I'm so glad I did! Since one of the reviews mentioned that the Jerk Chicken is a staple, I ordered that plate with a side of plantains and asparagus (it comes with 2 sides) served at the perfect temperature. JERK CHICKEN: Tender and juicy, with the perfect amount of flavor and smoky crispiness from the skin. The special sauce on the side gave it a balance and an extra kick without being overpowering. DELICIOUS. PLANTAINS: On point. Fresh, warm, and had the perfect amount of caramelization. Ugh! AMAZING. ASPARAGUS: There's nothing I hate more than chewing on the fibrous lignin towards the end of asparagus spears, but there's nothing fibrous about these! Other than wishing there were more spears and maybe less seasoning (tad salty), these were fresh and cooked well with the right amount of tenderness and crisp. I got my greens in. YUM. Dear Dilans, thank you and please come back! I'm hoping to try the Ox Tail next time. read more

Jerk chicken wad amazing ! Had a dope mac and cheese and greens to go with it. Would definetly recommend read more
