· Vegan restaurant, Caribbean restaurant
· Peckham
Joyful vegan Caribbean comfort food with gigantic portions and warmly personal service; expect a queue and a hidden arcade location.
The verdict
Preliminary Grade: This restaurant has only 99 reviews, which is below our 100-review minimum for reliable grading. This grade should be considered preliminary until more reviews are available. Deserted Cactus earns grade A recognition as a beloved local institution that delivers far more than its modest arcade setting suggests.
One caveat: Service speed can be slow at peak times due to single-chef setup; plan for a wait
