So much more than great coffee! An inventive niche in downtown Rahway, serving delicious, healthy breakfast/brunch entrees comparable to Parisian cafes. Well priced with excellent customer service and a warm ambience, it’s the place to be on weekends and more. A Jersey gem!

The girls are always nice here. If you want something quick and good to eat you should definitely stop by. I've only pretty much had their Buffalo wings which are really good and their beef Pattie's but I see people order everything here. Great prices and always clean! Grab some ice cream While the weather is still nice!

Been there twice and they always take my money but never give me what I ordered. Got scammed twice already. Stay away from this restaurant

Closed on multiple occasions I've passed by when the hours say they should be open.

The drums n flats were so salty and the full wings were bland. They didn't pay any attention to my request for no rolls. If I'm gonna indulge in a guilty pleasure, would like some actual pleasure. A reminder that unhealthy food is just not worth it.

This spot is the very definition of more than meets the eye. In my quest to explore the area a bit further I stumbled upon this "chicken spot" looking for something cheap and filling. However, I was left with the impression that this is more than your run of the mills chicken fix.EnvironmentFrom the outside it would appear to be your typical chicken spot serving grease and a tummy ache. Yet, walk inside and it become quite apparent the store is clean and in my experience I was well received.FoodI ordered a fried chicken platter with fries that didn't disappoint. The chicken was far more flavorful and juicy than expected. The fries were of the basic "string" variety but didn't hold much seasoning.THE SAUCENot a bad choice for a wild Saturday night rendezvous or anyone in need of a quick comfort meal. The price won't break your wallet and the food delivers.Happy eating!

Friendly service, fresh made to order food, and great portions. The chicken salad never disappoints!

This is a very nice, clean and friendly cafe. It’s located right next to the Watt Hotel. Everyone was very nice and the food was very good. We will be coming back for breakfast and chai.

I don’t think that I had rolled ice cream until I visited Melao. Rolled Ice Cream is airy and delicious - particularly when served with toppings and whipped cream. A visit to Melao is an outstanding experience. The staff is helpful and the seating area is very comfortable. We will return!
Damn! This place cooks the worst fried chicken I have ever had.. literally the worst. It was so upsetting I just threw away the rest of my box. Ate 3 out the 10 piece.... I gave it two stars because their cheese fries weren't bad at all. At least that satisfied me...

Got the 10 piece Combo. Tons of Fry's chicken is legit give it a 3.9 out of 5 smells is great chicken is juicy but little bland on the taste but over great for price.

Ice cream was not the best....

Writing this review to remind myself never to order from here again. First time I came here I ordered a Turkey burger and it tasted like they took it out of the freezer and microwaved it. I remember the guy at the register on the phone providing zero customer service. The second time I ordered a 5 pc with fries and a soda for lunch. I was expecting chicken tenders. I got all the way home and opened my box to 3 pieces of chicken breast and a roll. Not what I ordered at all. Of course, I couldn't return to the store because I didn't have time. So word of advice - check your order before you leave. Also, I can get 3 pieces, mashed potatoes, a cookie and a drink for $5.99 at kfc. 2 stars bc the chicken is good but customer service is absolute trash. Turkey burger is absolute trash. And messing up my order is absolutely unacceptable.
