Joy & Snook

Joy & Snook is a small storefront on Nostrand Ave without a menu. Guyanese food has an interesting mix of Caribbean, Indian and Chinese influences, hence the presence here of chow mein, dal and saltfish. If you’re willing to travel further out, Sybil’s in Richmond Hill might be considered the best Guyanese restaurant. If that place is too crowded, as it was when I visited, Brown Betty across the street is a pretty good place to try the chicken ‘n’ ruff, Guyana’s take on fried chicken and french fries.
