Melaine's Roti And Grill Restaurant

As passing by this establishment for years coming from the 6 train walking towards the express bus to Queens, there was always a certain "pull" of energy that enticed me to go inside. While attending a dinner with my girlfriends, it was no wonder how this place always "called" to me. Inside is nice and cozy with a family atmosphere. It was an amazing experience with amazing staff and great patrons. We'll be back soon :)

Today was my first visit. I ordered jerk chicken with rice and beans. The chicken is spicy (like I like it) and the rice is soft. The chicken was all dark meat which I didn’t mind either. I also had a whisky sour and margarita while I waited. They have happy hour on Sundays (although the whisky sour didn’t qualify.) This was worth the 15 minute walk from home in my new neighborhood. I’ll be back. Note: I ate half of the chicken before taking the picture.

Wishing I could leave SIX stars! DELICIOUS DELICIOUS DELICIOUS!!!! I know this will not make me a fan amongst our Brooklyn brothers and sisters, but this Melanies Doubles BEATS TRINCITI!!! They’re huge, tasty, and that mango chutney cannot be beat! I can’t remember the last time I had a lunch special under $10, but most of theirs are under 9 with a choice of soda or water! Please try: -Doubles -Fried Snapper with Rice and Dahl -Curry Chicken and Rice -Jerk Chicken and Fried Rice The staff is incredibly friendly, the beer is cold, and the spices are hot! I can’t speak for takeout, but go get yourself some Melanie’s!
