The 11 Best West Indian Restaurants in NYC’s Little Guyana - Eater NY

"Depending on which direction you’re eating through Liberty Avenue, some locals say that Little Guyana begins with S&A West Indian Restaurant and ends with Sybil’s. At the western Ozone Park section of Little Guyana, Indian-Trinidadian co-owner Savi Samsair has been bringing homestyle West Indian classics to Queens since 1996 (originally on Hillside Avenue). Here, locals flock to her aloo pie, a boat of fluffy, fried dough lined with mashed potato that eagerly soaks up its fillings. Ask Savi to make an aloo pie for you, and she’ll stuff it with boneless chicken curry, stewed pumpkin talkari, and a smattering of her housemade sauces like mango, tamarind, pepper, and a spicy “mother-in-law” made from about 20 different ingredients. Mango curry, oxtail stew, and bake and salt fish are also local favorites." - Caroline Shin
