CarolJuly 16, 2020Outdoor seating is available bc of COVID-19. Delicious Indian food at good prices and portions! I loved the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with the garlic naan.
Tainah M.October 7, 2015Probably the best Indian buffet I've tried in the Boston area so far. Go on weekends, when they have a greater variety of dishes available (including samosas)!
- Tiffany LopinskyJanuary 8, 2017Loved the mango lassi. The buffet is available weekdays and weekends!
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 16, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-INDIAN) Improper Bostonian says, "Sanskrit for "fair", Mela offers tandoori dishes and classic curries that are your ticket for a joyride through Indian cooking."
richard lealOctober 24, 2014So far all good. Pleasant service, samosas great. Got our free mango lassi. Waiting on our tikka and tandoori.
Gifted BostonSeptember 6, 2011If I were on a deserted island... Mela would be the one restaurant I needed. Chicken tikka masala, onion naan and a mango lassi. Copper colored walls & glitter table tops. This is my happy place.
Jeremy KrantzMarch 26, 2015Try their coconut curry. Pretty effin' good. The rest is pretty good too.
Harsha JagadishDecember 8, 2011Try the dinner for two. Very flexi and a smart option. Works out very well. The only complaint about this place is they expect a lot of tip or gratuity
Tania RooneyAugust 3, 2013Garlic naan melts in your mouth. Also, make sure to take advantage of the free mango lassi when you check-in.
Kevin WangMarch 28, 2012One of the best Indian food places in Boston. Won't give you the runs. Bring friends here and eat slowly.
Eric V FieldsApril 24, 2012Authentic Food ...Wonderful Service ... and they can make the dish as hot as you would like (trust me)
Amandeep GillJune 29, 2018Food is mediocre. Waiter didn't have much knowledge (couldn't tell me what Indian style a dish was - i.e. Punjabi, Goan, etc.) Service was ok, but slow
Amazing food and service! The prix fixed 3 course menu makes it an everyday affair.
A SSeptember 2, 2015The service leaves much to be desired. I didn't find any genuine warmth the entire time we ate there. Doesn't matter how the food was, I wouldn't want to go back.

"I have yet to have bad food at this place. My favorite thing on the menu is an appetizer: samosa chaat. I get it every time I eat here or have food delivered."
