    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 .

    Ugh yogis fell off. I payed 15$ for this small oxtail she gave me these pieces and the bottom of the tray was full of oil. Smh he's a friendly chef and his restaurants are well known but they definitely fell off

    Small jerk wings with vegetable fried rice and salad

    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.

    Brown stew chicken, Rasta pasta and cabbage
    Natasha S.

    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.

    Oxtail Gravy!

    How is the Stewed Chicken?

    The brown stewed chicken is good. It really has a nice taste to it. I love the taste of the gravy and it goes really well with the rice and peas and cabbage.

Among the many soigné Trini eateries scattered across Queens, this one layers in just the right accoutrements to truly awaken your palate.

Sweet bursts of pineapple weave through the savory richness, striking a perfect balance that transports you straight to the shoreline--sun on your skin, salt in the air, and the rhythm of the Caribbean just beyond the waves. You officially have the Supreme touched.

You can get huge servings, of chicken, beef, shrimp, oxtail, duck, rice and vegetables in lunch and dinner servings sizes. While we do love the complete meals, we came exclusively for the "doubles". These savory pastries pack a flavor explosion that can't be beat. Made of flour and fried, these moist but crispy disks are stuffed with your filling of choice. You can have meat, seafood, veggies or just plain if you are not feeling fancy. After selecting the filling, make sure you ask for " everything " toppings. The toppings consist a healthy slathering of spiced chickpeas, tangy tamarind chutney and spicy pepper sauce. If you can't handle spice, leave out the pepper but without the sauce, the depth of flavor is absolutely lastonishing. I selected one shrimp and onw goat double, my partner in crime filled his with assorted veggies. The vibe is fast paced and super busy so grab a menu, decide what you want and be ready to order when it's your turn. They also sell assorted beverages to help cool you off. I'm studying the menu for my return trip. Enjoy.

    **A MUST VISIT RESTAURANT IN LITTLE GUYANA** **DELICIOUS…read moreFOOD & BAKERY ITEMS** A SPECIAL PART OF QUEENS Spanning about thirty blocks around Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill, is a very interesting neighborhood known as Little Guyana. An area where one of the largest populations of Guyanese immigrants reside in New York, along with others hailing from Trinidad, Jamaica, India, and Asia. As such, it's a bustling Indo-Caribbean mixing pot neighborhood, with - in some areas - a times square vibe. And most importantly, home to multiple restaurants, Carribean bakeries, clothing shops, grocery stores, and even Guyanese style Chinese food restaurants (Yes, that really is a thing!) EXPERIENCE LITTLE GUYANA AT SYBIL'S A fantastic way to start off your exploration of Little Guyana is to visit Sybil's Bakery. Here, Sybil, an expat from Guyana, along with her relatives and children, have been serving Guyanese specialties to the Richmond Hill community for almost 50 years. Offering steam tables filled with fantastic food, Bakery items, and authentic drinks. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT Ask someone from Guyana, and they'll tell you that Sybil's is a top spot to visit in the neighborhood. Because of this, the restaurant can sometimes become very crowded, with a line spilling out the door, and down the sidewalk. So it's best not to visit during peak times if possible. And as it's a small restaurant with no tables, you must enter, grab a ticket from the dispenser, and then wait for your number to be called. And while waiting, it's a great time to check the various offerings in the steam table area, take a peak at all the bakery items and patties, and peruse the large menu above the counter. And to be honest, because of the large number of choices here, you really need to do this, so you'll have somewhat of an idea what to order when you're called. YOU HAVE TO TRY... Just about everything is delicious here, so all the standard Caribbean dishes, such as Jerk Chicken, Stewed Chicken, Fried Chicken, Oxtail, Curries and sides are all great choices. And then another wonderful item to try here, is Guyanese Pepper Pot, a traditional meat stew with a dark spiced gravy. And don't forget to order a tasty Roti to eat along with any saucy dishes you order. In addition, the fantastic Guyana Style Chinese items, such as the Chow Mein (fried noodles) and Fried Rice - which are my favorite- are seasoned exceptionally well with Caribbean spices, making these dishes hit differently, in comparison to other restaurants. Of course there are regular Jamaican style Beef Patties and Chicken Patties being served here, which are very tasty. But the Guyana style Patties, which are round, and packed full with either beef or chicken, & veg are scrumptious and unique. With these, the crust is more similar to that of a chicken pot pie, and the generous filling is fantastic. Meanwhile, because these are so friggin good, you will see people order them here by the dozen, to take home. So don't pass these up. Another popular choice, especially during lunch, are Sybil's famous Fish Sandwiches and Jerk Chicken Sandwiches. These start out with either fried fish or jerk chicken, along with lettuce, tomato, tartar sauce, another slightly sweet special sauce, and then some hot sauce, on a wonderful, mildly sweet and soft Coco Bread. Sybil's makes these sandwiches here, non-stop all day long, and there's a deliciously good reason why! BUT SYBIL'S IS A BAKERY ALSO! A trip to Sybil's for most people usually entails purchasing food, and then also Guyanese style baked goods. Some items of note, are the fresh Tennis Rolls, a dense, slightly sweet roll famous for being eaten with a nice slab of cheese in between, creating the best cheese sandwich ever. And if you enjoy cheese, the Cheese Roll pastry, the Cheese Pie tart and the Cheese Scone are also wonderful. And some examples of the sweeter style baked goods here, are the famous Guyana Pineapple Tarts and Guava Tarts which are a must try. Along with the Carrot Cake, Cassava Cake, Cherry buns, Coconut Drops, Chinese Cakes, Currant Rolls, and Solara, just to name a few. I LOVE THIS PLACE All in all, Sybil's is not a perfect restaurant. There are no tables to eat-in, it's usually crowded, and the ordering process can feel a bit rushed and intimidating your first time here. Moreover, if your looking for the best Trinidad style Doubles and Roti, then - without a doubt - Trinciti, Trini Delight and Singh's Roti Shop are better destinations. (Look for my previous review of Singh's Roti Shop if you have a chance). But let me tell you, if I am anywhere near Little Guyana, and I'm hungry, It's a good chance that I'm stopping at Sybil's for some of my favorite food and some magical baked items to take home. Because I really love this place, and if you get to know this unique restaurant like I do, I bet you may fall in love also.

It's a fairly large restaurant. We ordered cocktails, few tapas and the steak. I would've ordered another entree but they were out of dish after dish that I would've tried.. well it turned out to be enough food since the omelette dish was so dense and I filled up on bread. The best dish was the shrimp with garlic tapa which I usually wouldn't bother ordering but I've already tried most of the menu. Lots of garlic. Really tasty ..dipped the oil with the bread. We were sitting there for a while, waiting for our drinks and other food but nothing came out so I wanted more bread since I was starving. My first meal that day. One the guys brought more bread for us quickly. The steak and omelette finally came. I would never order the omelette dish but L wanted to try it and it was tapas Tuesday so there was a slight discount. Very bland. Not enough egg, too much potato, very dry so we spooned a lil of the garlic oil from the shrimp dish and it helped a lot. I had a lil but L ate the rest. Salad was good but it was overdressed. The steak was a lil bit bloody in the middle even though we ordered it medium so it wasn't as good as we had it before. We still didn't get our cocktails because the bartender lady kept making margaritas which were only $5 that day instead of our $17 drinks. Someone came past 7:30pm and our waitress said he was gonna make our drinks. The drinks were pretty good but we already finished our food. Usually I would have ordered one of each cocktail at Sala but I was full and had other places to go. The slow service and the unavailability of certain dishes has impacted my recommendation to others but I still like the drinks here and we did enjoy the gambas tapa dish a lot..
