The Soul Spot

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home!

Listen I originally walked in just for cornbread. I was in the area, looked the place up on Google, and thought I'd give it a try. The moment I saw the food, I started yelling to my friends (we were visiting from Toronto Canada) asking if they wanted anything because WOW. Every single bite was worth it.

The food felt like it came straight from my Jamaican family’s kitchen homemade, flavorful, and full of love. That cornbread? Easily the best I've had in YEARS. No joke. I even bought two extra pieces to save for later... but ended up eating them because everything was just that good.

I was so impressed I told my other friends staying at a different hotel to make the trip this place is worth it. Amazing food, great vibes, and warm service. Go support them you won’t regret it! Look at my pictures food sweet me bod bod I almost forgot to take a picture I had to play it off like I didn't touch the food 😅

Ordered for pickup because it said delivery, 5 blocks away to my hotel, was too far.

Food was done on time, but the lamb chop was the only thing that came out as expected. The black eyed peas with rice were more like Caribbean rice and peas vs the traditional style. It was hard to discern if it was in fact salmon in the croquettes because it was overpowered by sweet mashed potatoes. The jollof was okay but the stuffing tasted like they used the leftover cornbread, it was so sweet it could have been dessert.

It was just totally not the style I expected when it said "soul" because we don't even have the words to say what was wrong with the green beans but I miss seasonings and flavor.

This is what they sold me for $16 out of my hard earned money. I just wanted a dinner meal not a plate full of oil, gravy. The meatloaf wasn’t even that grate, I bit into something in it. The whole experience was horrible. Rushed me to make an order and to choose.

Y’all don’t understand HOW GOOOOOOOD this food is! My new favorite work spot. The ribs and mac & cheese are a 100000/10 — you can taste the love in every bite!

This restaurant’s name speaks for itself-The Soul Spot- literally feeds your soul. Seldom do I come across a meal that feels like a hug to your soul. The smell alone made my mouth water! 10/10 from flavor to a HUGE portion size. The woman serving me was so sweet and explained every option to me.
Will be craving this place forever now!
Thank you!!

Sybil's

On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Sybil’s for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious chicken patties, which have become a beloved staple at our event.

The chicken patties were perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. Their consistency and quality never disappoint, and it’s clear that Sybil’s takes great pride in their food. Our guests always look forward to enjoying these savory treats, and this year was no exception.

We deeply appreciate Sybil’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their unwavering support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them.

Thank you, Sybil’s, for your kindness, reliability, and outstanding contributions. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Sybils is one of the best restaurants in New York, and I make sure to visit every time I’m in the city. They’re one of the only places that sell the original Guyanese patties — the real ones I grew up with. Not the soft, floury, yellow-looking versions that some places offer, but the authentic, firm, flavorful patties that remind me of home.

This is the only spot where I can get the true taste of Guyana, and that’s why I keep going back. The food is always enjoyable, and I recommend them 100% to anyone looking for genuine Guyanese flavor. Whenever I visit New York, I eat there until I can’t anymore — and I still make sure to take some patties back home with me.

I came here for pattys and I was not disappointed with the food that I got. Everything was amazing and the prices were good for the items that I got. Service was top notch.. come before lunch time.

I’ve been going here for years, the food still tastes good. They just didn’t give that much food for the price I payed ($50). It was a pickup order so I assume that why they didn’t fill the bowls. It was still 2 and a half hours before closing so I don’t think that’s why the bowls were empty.

I ordered a large chowmein through Uber Eats, with channa as a side. With the high cost of food, I was given HALF of the container with channa. I paid for  a LARGE  chowmein. This is deceptive behavior.  Do not buy from there. I didn't order a small chowmein.  In essence, that's exactly what they did, served a small. I feel robbed. It is very likely that this is a steady practice. Do not spend your money there!
