Melanie's is a neighborhood gem known for its top-tier Chinese-Guyanese fusion cuisine and strong drinks. The restaurant offers a cozy ambiance with an outdoor dining setup during the warmer months. The friendly and efficient service provided by Melanie and her family enhances the dining experience. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, with generous portions that ensure satisfaction. Customers praise the flavorful shrimp with broccoli, shrimp fried rice, curry chicken, and roti. The strong Bahama Mama and Blue Long Island Ice Tea cocktails are highly recommended. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant has been a neighborhood staple for a long time. The jerk chicken lo mein stands out, combining Caribbean and Asian flavors in a spicy and tasty way. The atmosphere has a casual, vibrant vibe with dim lighting and Caribbean-Bollywood music, creating a fun, hole-in-the-wall feel. While the staff is friendly and helpful, service can be slow, with some waiting over 40 minutes for food and bills. Parking can be difficult, but the friendly staff and flavorful food make it worth the visit. Overall, Melanie's is a must-visit spot for those seeking unique and tasty West Indian cuisine in the Bronx.
