Sybil's Bakery & Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

Review: Top-Tier Guyanese Flavors at Sybil’s Bakery & Roti Café – Queens, NY

My son and I stopped by Sybil’s Bakery & Roti Café in Queens, and the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. This Guyanese, West Indian-style restaurant delivers bold, authentic flavors and genuine hospitality.

We started with pepperpot and cocoa bread—a rich, flavorful dish that tasted like a warm embrace from the islands. The cocoa bread was soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for soaking up the delicious pepperpot sauce.

For our main course, we had oxtails, curry goat, and vegetable fried rice. The oxtails were tender and perfectly seasoned, the curry goat was full of flavor with just the right amount of spice, and the vegetable fried rice pulled it all together beautifully.

To drink, we enjoyed peanut punch and sorrel, both refreshing and packed with authentic Caribbean flavor.

The fish sandwiches were another highlight—crispy, juicy, and unforgettable! And we couldn’t resist finishing our meal with a slice of guava cake, which was moist, sweet, and absolutely delicious.

What truly stood out—beyond the amazing food—was the hospitality. The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and inviting. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Sybil’s offers top-tier service and flavors.

I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic Guyanese-West Indian cuisine served with...

Dont waste your money here might as well go to Sybils on liberty. Better yet go to Trincity on lefferts and 111ave. Once you try Trincity you will never come back here. I will be posting pictures. The most i would even come back here for is maybe the pastry and bakery but i would have to be desperate to eat from here. Its not even about the money its about the QUALITY FOOD.

First off I got a curry chicken roti- the curry tasted like the bottom of the pot got burnt and they didnt care. The entire curry has a burn taste to it. Leaving a bad after taste. The roti was stiff.

The curry shrimp taste was ok but they put so much potatoe wheres the shrimp. On top of that its baby shrimp. You will see the picture. The dhal puri was also stiff and didnt have much peas in it might as well stick to bread.

The pudding(black and white) is so dry and the ends of it is such a turn off why sell something like that. They gave water down tamarind sauce to eat the pudding with. Terrible terrible.

The cook up rice should be only vege cuz there was literally one pice of chicken that broke up in my order.

The pastry needs better filling not so much crust. The cassava pone here is so small for the price. If you go to the sybils on liberty its a bigger piece for the same price.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I GOT ALL THIS FOOD FOR MY FAMILY THAT DIDNT EVEN WANT TO EAT IT. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME TO GET A...

👎🏾 The food isn't good enough for them to have such bad attitudes. I've brushed it off, thinking it was just a bad day, but it keeps getting worse and it's not just me because I'm seeing them in arguing with other customers, and then continuing to talk about the customer after they have left, which continues to make the experience worse for other customers.

I've just walked out during some of those times. I don't want them making my food after arguing with people.

The taller woman with blond streaks is always smiling and nice, but she's hardly ever there when I go. The other 2 women that are typically always there are bad for business. It's starting to be pretty empty when it's just them, and I see why. Other customers are getting tired of it. They're very mean and rude, and I'm just not ignoring it anymore. I'm just not eating from there anymore. That's bad energy.

The business would be just as busy as the Sybil's on Liberty, if the food and attitudes were better.

I really wish we had more Trini options in the area.

You have to have WAY better food for me to keep ignoring the bad attitudes. This restaurant's food just isn't worth continuing to support. They gotta hire people with better customer service skills. It doesn't have to be Disney World, but at least basic respect and appreciation for...
