One thing I can say about this place is that they’re always consistent with their food! From oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken, curry goat, even the PATTIES!!!! Food is amazing and is definitely a hidden gem in CT! Hard finding authentic Jamaican food and this place gets all my coins!! Customer service is great as well! Staff is super friendly and not like other spots(if you know you know) 1000/10
Melos Caribbean Kitchen in New London is considered absolutely amazing and phenomenal, with excellent, great-tasting food that is consistent and authentic. The oxtail dinner is a favorite, described as rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor, cooked perfectly so the meat falls off the bone. The stew chicken is also a must-try. Other praised dishes include the curry chicken, curry goat, and jerk chicken, which is noted as very spicy. The cheesy beef patty and curry chicken roti wrap are also enjoyed.
The sides receive exceptional praise, called the best selection ever offered. The rice and peas is highlighted as the best ever, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The fried plantain, fried dumpling, and fresh cabbage are all delicious and flavorful, adding balance to the meal. Portion sizes are great and large, often providing two meals or leftovers.
The atmosphere gives an island vibe, though the exterior is simple. Service is great, with staff quickly rectifying any order issues. It is recommended to call ahead for specific items or large orders, and to check for updated opening times. The restaurant is widely considered 100% worth the trip and a definite favorite.
