Our Story
Food is more than just a meal — it’s family, tradition, and community. Founded by a husband-and-wife team with over 25 years of combined experience in the restaurant industry, our story began with his passion for cooking and her dedication to hospitality. After years of working side by side — him in the kitchen and her serving guests — we took a leap of faith to open our own family-run business. Today, even our son helps carry on the tradition by running one of our locations.
The name Meli holds special meaning to us — it’s short for Melissa, a reminder that this restaurant is built on love, family, and personal connections.
We pride ourselves on using only fresh ingredients, providing family-first service, and creating an atmosphere where every guest feels at home.
Giving Back
Being part of this community means more than serving food — it means giving back. Over the years, we’ve proudly supported local causes, from donating to cancer research to providing gift baskets for community events and fundraisers. Supporting our neighbors is part of who we are.
Our Promise
As a minority-owned, family-run restaurant, our mission is simple: serve fresh, flavorful meals with the same care we would for our own family, while building lasting connections with the community we love.
