I originally came into this place looking to try their shrimp lunch special but they were out so I decided to go for their oxtails. It was a pretty decent price for the portion size I got. However, some of the oxtails I received were just bones no meat. I'm a sauce girl so I liked that they put a lot of gravy onto my rice. However, the oxtails were a bit dry and on the sweeter side. read more

Yogi Restaurant - New American Near Me - Queens, New York

This place has really good curry. It's a small establishment but the food is worth the visit. Their curry goat is tender.

Recently I have noticed that yogis food has not been the same.just today me and my wife ordered some food from there,I got the cheesey beef patties which was good .And my wife ordered a small oxtail dinner for $14 dollars, the oxtails was the worst. They weren't cooked enough at all they were tuff and hard and you couldn't even eat them ,the vegetables were undercooked with no seasoning, very bland taste. she was totally upset about her meal.They use to make some good oxtails dinners, but not any more. Note the dinner was $14 for a small dinner ,what a shame, But they shouldn't charge that much for a dinner and the meal taste like nothing, we expect better from them up there, they need to get it together with there under cooked oxtails. Yogis has been a staple in the community for a long time . read more

Great lunch spot . Staff is friendly and serves decent portions of food . The Rasta pasta is amazing and you can add a meat option . With the mini option you can choose just about anything, it's a great lunch option because it's just enough to fill you without you feeling overstuffed . Seating is available inside . read more

Yogi Restaurant - Oxtail - New American Near Me - Queens, New York

Hello everyone! I just want to start off by informing you that this review is based on my experience solely at Yogi's Restaurant which is now called Fortis Restaurant at this location. As of December 21, 2020 the name has been changed to Fortis Restaurant, and although my most recent visit was when the restaurant was named Yogi's, I would still enjoy sharing my experiences with you all in despite of the change. Yogi's has been one of many Caribbean restaurants I have tried in the years of being a Yelper, but was very new to me at the time. Also, being new to the neighborhood has led me here upon my crave for some Jamaican eats. I was mainly interested in the lunch specials they had available referred to as "minis." That day was my first time trying Yogi's and because I really didn't have a heavy appetite at the moment, I found this perfect for that just right satisfactory portion. The inside was set up as that of what I would describe as a small dine-in/takeout restaurant. The cashier was to the right of walking in followed by two high corner tables with bar style chairs on the left for eating in and drinking beers; which they served if you were of legal drinking age of course. Towards the back of the restaurant was the food that was displayed buffet style, but you couldn't serve yourself. All names of each dish was labeled right above so that you knew what you wanted to order in an instant. They offered the usual dishes that many are familiar with like stew chicken, oxtails, curry chicken, etc. There were also different varieties such as grilled salmon chunks, jerk wings, sweet chili wings, sweet chili shrimp, jerk chicken fried rice, and fried chicken. Both female servers were pleasant and moved quickly for the most part. The neighborhood is not the safest but most people usually got their food to go. I have tried the grilled salmon chunks, jerk wings (as pictured), fried rice, and curry chicken. My favorite, the jerk wings, were perfectly spiced without jerk sauce and baked well with slight crisp to the skin. The fried rice was oily and edible mainly with meat. The curry chicken was good, but a few times I found it tasted a bit bland as if it was lacking the curry spice. Last to mention the salmon chunks which was too salty, so much so, that I could not finish less than half a portion. I really did not expect the salmon to taste as it did because it looked really good and that was disappointing. I was reading other reviews and what sticks out the most is that it seems as though the quality of food at this location specifically declined over the years. Like I mentioned before hand, Yogi's was new to me at the time, so I cannot comment much on that part. I do however see that they were a staple in the neighborhood and favored by many. I do recommend trying their other location a few blocks down across from York College campus at 92-40c Guy R. Brewer, Queens, NY. They are a popular location and best known to have really good chicken soup and breakfast. read more

Yogi Restaurant - Small jerk wings with vegetable fried rice and salad - New American Near Me - Queens, New York

I love the food still but I gotta take some stars back cause it's the second time yall messed up my jerk wings order. I won't be ordering delivery anymore if I'm in the neighborhood I look forward to trying it out again. read more

This was the worst experience ever. I ordered callaloo, and when it arrived, it was mostly cabbage and carrots and maybe a spoonful of color. In addition, it was not wrapped well so the liquid got all over the bag and was dry by the time I got it Inside but the bag was wet so I called to remedy this and the guy said if you don't like it, throw it out and order something else. the food did not even taste good and I really tried . horrible customer service, horrible response, and would never order from them again read more

I came here after my mom bragged about her food last week from this place, so we went today so I could see what it was all about. I ordered the brown stew chicken, Rasta pasta and cabbage. This food did not disappoint!!! In fact it was delicious, the Rasta pasta has a lil spice to it and plenty of veggies like carrots, peas, green beans. The brown stew chicken was so flavorful and the cabbage was just as good with other veggies added to it as well. I will definitely be back for the oxtails next time. read more

Yogi Restaurant - Brown stew chicken, Rasta pasta and cabbage - New American Near Me - Queens, New York

I wish this place would just go out of business already they are always always always out of food and cancelling orders. Just close.

I am so happy this place sells Minis for delivery. If you are not sure what you want just order everything you will not be disappointed... When you ask for extra gravy you get extra gravy... I am far from and my food always comes hot and ready to eat! I am a fan! read more

This was my first time today eating at Yogi's Restaurant referred by my co-worker. I finally tried and was very pleased on how the Oxtails was falling off the bones and the portion was good. The staff was professional and very pleasant. Great Job! read more

Delivery in no time. I'm so happy I've found them, like a taste of back home, I have to eat there at least once a week. Don't hesitate check them out!!!! read more

This white boy eats tons of jerk chicken all over the city as my job takes me to all 5 boroughs weekly. While in certain parts of southeastern Queens there are streets like merrick blvd where there seems to a jerk spot every other block and in some places 3 or 4 right next to each other and it can seem overwhelming to pick a place but when I'm in queens, I like to eat here .They have a nice selection of different dishes cooked daily and there are so many good ones but I recommend: jerk chicken, oxtails, jerk salmon, chili shrimp and the rasta pasta. Service is very friendly which sorry if this offends doesn't seem to be case in most Jamican restaurants. Place doesn't look like much and doubles as a western union office but the food is the star here. read more

LISTENING IS NOT WHAT THEY DO. Don't get me wrong the other reviews were right. I'm a Emt and my partner and I was hungry. We didn't really want to much so we won't get hit with another job. So we saw and checked the reviews. The food is amazing. If you in the area looking for Jamaican food. You can try. I wouldn't go out my way to go. read more

Chicken soup is delish .. spicy and favorful... Oxtails are a toss up too much browning sauce for me. Some days it is good and some so so... peas and rice yum . read more

Love this spot, one of those hole in a walls you wanna keep secret so my bad Im posting on yelp, but this spot is fire! Only have two restaurants I look forward to eating at when I come to NY, and its this spot and Adelas. If you from Cali, you know you can't get Jamaican food like this...Susie and Patty were hella kind gave us good service and laced our rice and beans with oxtail gravy. Came here twice and thinking about booking a flight to NY just to eat here lol. read more

Stopped by here yesterday and got the stew chicken with rice and peas. The food is absolutely incredible. You can tell it's made by people who really care. I'm looking forward to my next time there so I can get some oxtail. read more

The customer service at this place is garbage. They laughed at me on the phone when I asked them to make a slight change to my order and couldn't be bothered to contact me when they realized that something I ordered wasn't in stock. Then instead of simply refunding me for the missing item, they send me a chicken soup I didn't ask for with no flavor and no chicken in it. Not impressed. read more

Yogi's is the best. The oxtail here is serous!! You won't be disappointed. I haven't ordered anything else, because I'm just addicted to oxtail. I may try something else and update my review. read more

This place sucks. Worse business ever when it comes to delivery. Their phone is always busy, what business don't have call-waiting in 2016. If you are lucky enough to get through, their delivery wouldn't come. I waited 2 hours for my delivery and it never came. I was so frustrated I canceled it. read more

Ok this is a Lil shack that I used to love...especially coming home late fr a party and want something hot & ready. Gets really packed cause its a bit small. But above all the food is great. Jerk chicken wings is the best!!! read more

I literally just ordered from this place and I never will again. I ordered jerk chicken and vegetables nothing else. My order comes with a crapload of rice and maybe a spoon of vegetables. How hard is it to take order properly? I even called twice just to make sure and it's still wrong. Won't be ordering from this place again. I'm only giving it one star so the review will be seen its not even worth that. read more

Good food . Decent service depending on who's behind the counter. One of the ladies used to make a carrot cake with no icing I used to love but I don't see her there anymore . I would recomend this place tho read more

Called to order a large soup and the young lady responded that she does not have time to prepare the order and I must come in and stand on line. This service sucks. read more

Nice neighborhood restaurant. I heard about the oxtails. i tried them and I like them more than my own cooking. Everytime I go back I can not resist the oxtails. They are meaty (not fatty), well seasoned and cooked to fall off the bone. They serve a sauted cabbage that I think is great also. Sorry that I can not tell you about the jerk chicken and the other dishes but do try the oxtails. read more

Butter shrimp and pepper shrimp on Fridays. Wish they served the shrimp all week. Only down side is the plantains are not as ripe as I like.

This was totally unexpected but the stew.... Awesome, delivery took about 40 minutes which was fair and definitly worth the wait. Kudos

A plethora of words....this place isn't worth it, over priced, the service sucks...avoid here by all means. smh

I wont lie its a bit overpriced i usually always get the same thing (jerk chicken rice/peas side of sweet chili shrimp) a large comes out to be about $23 . I say about because the price fluctuates every time . Depending on who works the people are friendly as you are they are a bit pushy as if you're supposed to just know what you want before you get there but the food is good , Try to support my black owned businesses . Seems like they have more rice in the back there than anything though i always get a mountain of rice read more

shereena or whatever her name is got a nasty funky attitude. unless i get an apology from the bitch. i will keep my review up. i support yogi pockets because i been going there since forever. i love my yogi's.. as for shereena.. i will be there personally to speak to yogi about my exchange of items for red velvet cake and the $1 tip i gave for delivery being y'all don't deliver. so red velvet is $3 i exchanged for a beef patty which is $2 left from the $3 cake & $1 tip. that equals to another beef patty basically. shorty shereena got an attitude like i am in the wrong when all i wanted was what i paid for & $1 tip. no sense of customer service hospitality. i called.. politely asked her name and if she took my man order the bitch want to come out the side of her neck to say i work here. a worker at yogi? like for real ma? no hospitality, professionalism, common courtesy or proper etiquette? who raised you? very disappointed. she must be phucking "yogi" the boss. yogi better keep these bitches in line. her mouth crazy. i was so polite and sweet. her nasty attitude turned me off. you been changing cooks come the phuck on yogi! i been supporting you and your business. i recommend you all the time for new comers to the 40 p vicinity! as for shereena: teach ya'll something, be there or be square. you done called for the madame, i said you done called up for the madame! & guess what bitch you never know when she coming but she always on fuckin time & the time will come. & the time will be monday because guess what?! i am going to clear up my mother phucking name, & i am going to come with proof! i'ma come with proof. so guess what, there a mf that could talk all day. & then there's a mf that could prove all day what they talking about.

I always go to this restaurant and bring friends along because the food is good. This week I went along with my coworker who spent a good 20 dollars on her lunch. I tried to order jerk chicken with rice and peas and some oxtail gravy for the rice. Ms. Francine told me I could not get oxtail gravy only curry gravy. Mind you there was barely any oxtails left in the pot full of gravy. I asked twice before I walked out. I have ordered this or oxtails every time I go to yogis and even ordered party platters and had friends order party platters from them last summer for outings. Never again. I'll find another spot that won't mind giving their customer some gravy for their rice. The food is good but customer service counts! read more

Who likes cold fish, do you want cold food? Get ready because that's what i got! 1. I get hung up on twice, girl on phones said she was too busy 2. It took about 5-8 minutes to place an order 3. The server was doing phones and the counter, so I do understand because that is too much for one person in a busy restaurant. Finally, when I placed my order it came out to a wopping $12 for a plate of food but in the begining she said it was $6 I ordered fish with peas and rice She offered me a salad and plantains so I added that aswell After 30 minutes the delivery guy was still not here, I live less than a block away from this restaurant. I was starving so I called back just to say if he's not here in 5mins forget it, I'm going to buy food across the street The girl I think her name is yuny or yunie was very nice, said she will call him and like magic the guy was at my door. I pay and he left, what I received was a box of cold food (mostly rice, about three fork bites of a salad and 2 pieces of sweet plantain The tiny fish was cold and tasted awful! I couldn't even eat it NEVER AGAIN!! What a RIP OFF and I had to wait 30+minutes for this? I read all the great reviews and called them righ away, what happened ? maybe the accidental hangups were a bad sign :( read more
