In this episode, JL Jupiter visits the renowned Harlem soul food restaurant Melba’s in NYC to review some of their signature dishes, check out the atmosphere, and see if it lives up to the reputation.
Key Highlights & Tasting Review
Atmosphere & Drinks:
Features an inviting Sunday brunch vibe with classic R&B background music.
Tastes the Melba’s Palmer (iced tea blend with house style).
Fried Chicken Soul Roll:
Packed with seasoned chicken, collard greens, and melted cheese, fried crisp. Rated highly for flavor and crunch.
Eggnog Waffles:
Served with strawberry cream butter; crisp exterior with a sweet, rich holiday-spice flavor. Highlighted as a standout menu item.
Braised Oxtail Platter:
Tender braised oxtails served alongside collard greens and coconut-milk-infused rice and peas.
Final Verdict:
Acknowledges the higher price point, but praises the soul roll, eggnog waffle, and lively Harlem dining experience as well worth a visit.
