The wife and I have been here twice so far (both visits in the last week). Between the two of us we've had the Oxtail, Fried Chicken, J*** Chicken, and Curry Goat. The first impression is that the food looks and smells amazing. The dishes are all fantastically delicious and I can't wait until Curry Oxtail comes up on the menu (seriously, the curry is outstanding.) The staff are incredibly friendly, and the portions are super generous.Very happy that the selection changes daily - makes it super easy to try new things (and the daily selection is typically posted on facebook in the mornings.)

Honestly they are so sweet in there, and they give a lot of food for 8-10$. I am extremely pleased with all of it! I have been there twice in a week and will be back again lol. I like the family atmosphere and the customer service, there is this nice little girl that greets you and tells you about the food which is adorable, it's fun to see the food change everyday so I can try something new( their Facebook page updates everyday), and I love that there is a point system and discounts for essential workers. I really enjoy this little hidden gem! Keep it up!

Me and my daughter was there this pass weekend since I heard good things about your business. Well when we got home we wasn't happy we both had the oxtail meal the rice was old the gravy had a burnt taste and the plantains was rubbery. I was told to try again but right now not sure.

Delicious food in generous portions, friendly and accommodating staff, and a cutely-decorated front area to wait for your order. I've never walked away from Michelle's disappointed, and you won't either. A changing selection of mains and sides means that each visit will give you the opportunity to try something new alongside your own favorites. I haven't had a chance to try anything from the bakery yet, but I look forward to it and I'm sure the treats will match up to the quality of the rest of the food!

Foods ok! The plaintains are tough and the porridge was like a doughy-jello. The taste was there but the texture was off. They don't have a menu and don't know what they're serving for yhe next day. I suppose it depends on what the cook feels like cooking for the day or whats left over. Hhmmm! Good customer service though.

Bakery is on point!!!!! I ordered some type of coconut macaroon type of sweet. A 6 piece it was delicious. I also got a rice and peas with brown stew chicken. It too was very very good! A plus !!! The side was plantains. Loved it. I do love that they play good music too. The energy in the restaurant is so warm.

I visited Michelle’s kitchen for the first time today. The oxtails were tender and delicious, the curry chicken was also flavorful. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
The food is delicious and full of flavor! This has been my 4th visit and I have been satisfied every time.

I visited Michelle's kitchen in the evening of the grand opening on August 1, 2020. I wish I took a picture of the food I bought to share with you all. The j*** chicken was REALLY GOOD. The mac salad in addition was a nice side that I haven't come across yet in the greater Hartford area. I'm really particular on where I buy my food. With that said, good customer service is key. Way in the evening I was impressed that the staff's customer service was so enthusiastic and welcoming as if I was the first customer. I can imagine the grand opening can be a long day for all involved. I also, picked up a small cake, it was delicious. I don't live in East Hartford and others restaurants are closer but after my experience, you would go back again and I will. Michelle and staff, well done ladies!!

Yesterday was not the best day for me and my mom traveling from store to store feeling drained by the end of it and hungry for a good serving of splendid Jamaican Food when remembered that a restaurant called Michelles kitchen opened up on Silverline When we arrive we were greeted with a red carpet a Jamaican music blasting from a loudspeaker which was a pretty good Jamaican feel feeling warm by the welcome we proceeded into the building well we got inside of the restaurant it seemed pretty queen and the servers were standing around waiting for the next customerThey gave us the greeting welcome to Michelle’s kitchen how can we assist you today they eat they added on that it was a seafood special Friday my mother loving seafood the way how she does she was very ecstatic to hear that the order was curry cunch With the mediocre side of red rice and lettuce leaf that they called toss salad I was already kind of aggravated by a fly buzzing around my face and all I wanted was j*** chicken and two festivals which came to 25.76 and with that price we should have some good food because that is only ONE PLATE OF FOODWhen we got home we gathered plates and utensils and wash our hands when we opened up the one we opened up the bag there was no sense of smell of seasoning or chicken or rice or seafood and my mom is a cook and whenever she finishes the cooking and when we sit down at the table there is a smell of food in the air and in the house and with all the restaurants it’s the same thing whenever we open up the food there’s a sense of smell around the house already been kind of skeptical we opened up the the j*** chicken which consisted of Three pieces of chicken that one little piece of pie and water down j*** sauce there was absolutely no taste no spice and we dipped it into the j*** sauce it’s practically made it worse being disgusted we moved on to the seafood we opened it up and started to try the rice and the seafood the rice almost made me barf at the seafood had zero taste and it was thrown in the trash without even three bites taken I close this out by saying me a twelve year old was absolutely Disgusted by the food add me and my mother will never be returning to Michelle’s kitchen again
