Eating WEST INDIAN FOOD in LITTLE GUYANA!! Queens, NYC
🧳 SHIVA: / backyardpromotions
✈️ CHECK OUT MY TRAVEL BLOG: davidsbeenhere.com/
New York City is arguably the largest and most diverse cultural melting pot on the planet. The cuisines of over 100 countries around the world are represented in its restaurants. So when I got the opportunity to go on a food tour of the Little Guyana neighborhood, I jumped at the chance! Come with me as I go on a Guyanese food tour of Little Guyana in Queens, NYC!
Our journey began on Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard. Liberty Avenue is the mecca for Indo-Caribbean cuisine in New York. Shiva is Trinidadian and took me to have the ultimate Trinidadian breakfast at Tropical Jade 3.
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
I could see shrimp, goat, duck, rotis, and more there. It’s a diner-style restaurant with a long buffet where they serve you. We ordered the doubles (thin, stuffed flatbreads), roti, buss-up shot, dal puri, bake & saltfish (fried pastry stuffed with salt fish), curry shrimp, and stew pork.
My Sorrel soda tasted a little like cranberries and Shiva’s banana soda tasted exactly like bananas! First, we jumped on the doubles, which were doughy and contain chickpeas and chutneys. They were very spicy! I loved them with the spicy hot sauce!
Next was the baked & saltfish. It contained bacalao, or codfish and was a little fluffier and had more texture than the bread in the doubles. The spicy sauce took it to another level! The stew pork was chunky, fall-apart tender, and went great with the roti.
The large roti with the curry shrimp was excellent and was more of a light, stew-like curry. I also liked the potatoes in the dal puri. But the curry shrimp gravy was out of this world!
Back outside were displays of fruit and vegetables outside a supermarket. We walked past nail salons, sari shops, Pooja shops, fruit vendors, and more shops selling cultural items. I could hear Hindi music coming from a lot of them. We stopped inside a sari shop called Henna Fashion Inc. Everything there was beautiful!
From there, we continued on an stopped at a coconut vendor outside. He cut the top off so I could drink the water inside. It was super refreshing! Then, he cut it open so we could eat the cool, filling meat inside! It took me right back to Asia!
At Anita’s Fashion Pooja Center, we saw statues of Hindu gods as well as Indian bridal gowns and other clothing. Then, on 123rd and Liberty, we headed to Avenue BBQ Hut. In the kitchen, they made us some BBQ lamb and BBQ chicken platters with barbecue sauce and garlic sauce over a bed of fries.
The BBQ lamb was delicious and high-quality. I loved the barbecue sauce and the fries underneath. It was my first time having barbecued lamb and it blew my mind! I couldn’t get enough of it!
We followed that with some sparkling apple juice and then jumped on the chicken. It fell right off the bone. One of my favorite Caribbean chicken dishes ever!
Then, we headed past bakeries, shops, and more to Fiwi Foods, a food truck on 124th and Liberty selling jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtails, curry goat, and more. But we were heading to Little Guyana Bake Shop. Shiva even gave me a Backyard Republik gift bag!
We made a quick stop inside Singh’s Roti Shop & Bar, a famous roti shop with a huge menu. Everything looked amazing! We tried a crisp Carib lager and quickly checked out Sybil’s Bakery & Restaurant.
At Nest Restaurant, we got che chi kai chicken, two types of wontons, fried chicken with rice, and more. The che chi kai chicken was light and crispy, and the jerk chicken wontons were great. I also loved the Chinese chicken fried rice. The blueberry & cream cheese wontons were so unique!

The legend of how "doubles" got that name is this: it's originally a street food brought over by Indian indentured labourers and was originally called "bara" (the fried dough shells) consisting of only one bara and topped with channa (chickpeas). Then one day a buyer at a popular seller asked for a "double" or two baras with the channa instead of one. This caught on and eventually everyone was asking for a "double" and the dish eventually became referred to to as "doubles". Many different sauces and chutneys (condiments/salsas) have been added over time from tamarind, mango, cucumber, coconut, pommecythere (juneplum/golden apple/ambarella), moolai (white radish), chilis etc. It's traditionally sold from a box attached to the front cart of a bicycle.

Interesting thanks. still waiting to try doubles .
This was a wonderful showcase of West Indian culture but the guide was mistaken in his explanation of the differences between West Indian and East Indian….these terms are derivatives of the colonial period West Indies and East Indies when India and Pakistan, and parts of the Caribbean were colonies of the British Empire. Two trading companies were established to manage the colonies The West Indian Trading Company and the East Indian Trading Companies. The territories over times were referred to as the West Indies and East Indies….the term West Indian was originally assigned to the native aboriginal people of the Caribbean and South America that lived in the British colonies, but overtime came to refer to anyone of any racial or ethnic background that was born in the West Indies not only the descendants of indentured laborers.

@ Deon Gibson Just want to point out that the term West Indian has nothing to do with Indians in Caribbean. For some bizarre reason the younger generation of black folks think so. Everyone before knew that it mean everyone according to who immigrated there because of the the term British West Indies. Indians know that it doesn't mean just them, but strangely younger black people think that's what it means and they are offended by the term.

First of all he never called they are West Indies by root. He said his ancestors came to caribbean from India as indenture labour and finally they established in caribbean and didn't return. By the way there was no such term or country named as Pakistan by that time when people from India reached at Caribbean. Correct it if you don't know at all. We Indian know Columbus expedition to India by travelling west to east to reach in India. He thought world is round , so he needs to travel towards west to reach east in India. By travelling west from Spain the land he reached he called as this is India. That's how the America and caribbean called as west India or the native people there called by European as Indian. This is how it got the name West Indies.

Love the video, but the West Indies are called that because Europeans wanted to differentiate it from the East Indies (because I guess all the places they colonized were "Indies" to them). Actual Indians from India didn't start arriving to the West Indies until the early 1800s, long after it was named that.

Late 1800. France was the first to abolish slavery, thans to the Haitians. Spain then England followed. France recaptured Haiti later on and eventually freed her in the early 1900's.
Liberty Ave aka Little Guyana is an homage to the entire West Indian community. We are so grateful for the privilege of having that community available to us. We are able to get all of our respective cultural ingredients, "home style" foods and Caribbean supplies. Our food and culture is a testament to the amazing diversity of the Caribbean. It's a wonderful blend of people from every race and creed. Thank you for showcasing this facet of NY during your tour. We appreciate it😊❤🙏

It’s called West Indies because Columbus thought he landed in India. That’s where the name comes from. It’s was called West Indies before the British imported Chinese and Indians to fill the gap after they freed the slaves and they need cheap labor. It’s kinda a slap in the face how he intentionally cut Afro West Indians out of the picture.

But some how trini Indians in trinidad always think they better than the trini africans .. the black race is the most hated and envied race .. every race thinks they are superior to them doesn't matter which country they live in .. And that's why he left out the afo trinis .

Its the host/ White guy that started the Explaining of what West Indies mean, Not the Indo guy. Yes I hate the way they leave out other food , but the place is a Roti Shop. Most Guyanese and Trinidadians are extremely bad at explain their culture to other people. they are not doing it purposely to leave out black people like nelcia suggests. A lot of black folks seem to have a chip on their shoulder that they cant get fixed.

Singh's is my go to for home cooked Trinidadian food when in NYC! Great representation Dave! This true Trinidadian restaurant has a great representation of the dominant cultural cuisines offered on the island such as Indo, Creole and Chinese. It is that combination of cuisines that makes Trinidad unique. Most importantly is the "homestyle" ambiance at Singh's that people from all walks of life go there for; whether you just finished a 12 hr shift at JFK or you are a visiting professor yearning for something heartwarming and belly-filling and a "Trini lime" (social gathering). At any "lime" in Trinidad you will usually find gastronomic representation from all the cultures and peoples from all socio economic levels and that's what makes us equal at the table! Keep up the good work and PLEASE visit Trinidad soon, I am sure being from South Florida you have Trinidadian friends, if not the fans on here will hook you up ;-)

Oh looorrrd.
These people need history lesson. West Indies, called so because indians went there and settled? Columbus started his voyage in search of India. He lost direction and reached carribbean island and assumed he is in india. So when he met the native people, he called them indians ( native peoples of America are still called indians) Only later he realised, he is in the Western part of the world, but the name stuck. And the real india became East India ( That's how the British East India company and Dutch India came in to existanc. Later British took people from India to the carribbean islands as labourers, who kept their culture alive there. So, Indians in the term West Indies refers to the native indigenous people, say for example Caribe, not the other way.
