If you're looking for pure comfort food and a family owned and operated business, look no more. Melanies welcomed hubby and I with open arms and made us feel right at home for our first time trying West Indian food. We started with the potato balls and some shrimp... So much flavor. The potato balls came with a mango chutney or dip that was so delicious and paired perfectly. The chicken curry had so much flavor and truly was a comfort meal.

The food at this restaurant is excellent, and it's always a favorite for my entire family when we have visitors. The chicken fried rice is delicious and always fresh. We have never had a bad meal here. The jerk chicken is also incredibly tasty. In addition to Guyanese cuisine, they also incorporate flavors from other cultures, which I really enjoy.
Had the Chicken Fried Rice, flavorable, I prefer Par Boiled rice with Chinese food, the rice was good but because of the choice it was a bit Soft. The chicken tasted passable could have done with some color... Wish Cilantro or Culantro was added to the rice... Will purchase again
