Review by Felicity Kling

Melba's Restaurant is a cozy gem in Harlem offering an authentic taste of Southern cuisine! 🌟

I stopped by for Sunday brunch and was blown away by the mouth-watering Mac and Cheese - its roux was simply divine! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the fast service made our meal even better. Brian, our server, was attentive and friendly, making the experience truly special.

The atmosphere is casual yet vibrant, perfect for groups. I can't wait to return and dive into more of their delicious offerings! A must-visit when in NYC! 🍽️✨
