Best Soul Food Restaurants in Mt. Sinai

Great food. Friendly staff. Excellent music! Drinks also slapped.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The quality of food and drinks is unmatched and their happy hour deal is phenomenal. The hospitality is also on point- they are fabulous.

Received top notch service, and the food and beverages were excellent as always. Has familytravel visiting from New Orleans and they were highly impressed with everything about Melba's!!!

I had so much fun me and my mother and my friend and we got to meet a celebrity. Dave East and he took pictures with us. He was very polite but the whole restaurant was polite and Nice the food was amazing. Will be coming back for my birthday in June. Thank you 

Thursday, 07May26 - A night of celebrating Taurus’ at Ashford & Simpson’s Sugar Bar Lounge - and what a celebration it was. So much joy. So much talent. Thank you, Valerie Simpson, and your late husband; Nickolas Ashford, for creating this amazing venue. The guest host for the evening was the incredibly talented Olutayo. Olutayo is joy exemplified. His vocal range, dance moves, entertaining facial expressions…infectious. I fell in love with this man and did not hesitate to tell him so. Beyond his talents was Olu’s ability to manage / juggle the night’s open-mic entertainers with such grace. From the lyrics of En Vogue and Salt-N-Peppa: “Whatta Man, Whatta Man, What a Mighty Good Man!” All of the entertainers were incredible. What a range of singers, dancers, a poet, a violinist. And the band! The band! The band! Come on!! Outstanding. I was seated next to Darius, one of the several background vocalists that were positioned throughout the lounge. We became fast friends in this space filled with exuberance. Darius was a delight. He was also a big brother to me, making sure no one blocked my view of the performance. Thank you, Darius, that was so kind of you. I had such a wonderful time being in the company of all these amazingly talented people. It was a 6-hour dopamine rush that should not be missed. The dinner that was served was top-notch. I had the Sea Bass. My friend had the Golden Fried Chicken. Both meals were delicious. I had the ginger mocktail with rosemary and blueberries - so yummy I had two. Dessert was key lime pie - suffer we will. Our server; Vickie, was a delight and amazing to observe as she maneuvered around the performers and kept us and everyone around us well served and continually hydrated. Vickie is to be commended for how hard she worked throughout the evening. I made sure our tip reflected our appreciation of her. Put the Sugar Bar on your bucket list when visiting NYC. You’ll leave there feeling you have experienced Heaven on Earth!
