    Clean, neat wall treatments, quiet. Started with simple chai -- creamy, sweet, mildly spicy. Ordered mango lassi with dinner, to counteract the spice -- solid standard preparation. But then the food arrived. Wow. It's been a long time since I've had such good Indian food -- melded myriad spices and flavors, plenty of good basmati rice to go with. I got the lamb mango walla, and my hubby got the goat vindaloo. All of it was brilliant, balanced, perfectly seasoned. And the garlic naan was the best I've ever had: crisp-chewy, perfectly garlicky, buttery. I'm coming back!

    Paid a whole lot of money for one meal just to find out the menu is incorrect and does not include said items!

    I'm so upset, and it could be because I'm HANGRY (part angry, part hungry)! I really wanted Indian food, despite having food at home to eat. I treated myself. I ordered Chipotle Tandoori Salmon. Per the menu comes with "Marinated fresh salmon with chipotle red peppers baked in a clay oven. Served with dal of the day and Basmati rice." (See the attachments) I love rice, so imagine my surprise when my husband gets back with my food and there is NO RICE! I'm like, ok, mistakes happen. Let me call the restaurant so they can make it right! Nope, they made it worse. The guy argued that my order was correct and my meal didn't include rice. You mean I paid $20 dollars for salmon and a whole onion never mind there were no red peppers! My entire meal was a complete letdown! The guy on the phone said the online menu is wrong, and they will change it. Sucks for me. I don't get my money back or rice. Save your money by not eating here or supporting this business. I believe strongly in Karma.

    Vegetable Samosa (2)

    Stopped here for lunch on a Friday. We had seen the reviews and were looking forward to trying it. I suppose the fact that the doors were locked long after opening should have been our cue to turn around and try somewhere else. Lights were on, sign said Open, but they clearly did not want customers. After several minutes, someone finally noticed us and let us in. I confirmed that they were open and we were seated. It wasn't even noon, so it wasn't that we had arrived before or after their lunch hours. We scanned the QR code on the table and pulled up the lunch menu (the same one that is on their website). I had already decided on the vegetable platter - like a bento box of assorted items. We also ordered the chicken platter, lunch tikka masala, and samosas. The waiter tried to push me into ordering a dinner combo that I didn't want - more expensive and didn't have the korma that I wanted. I said no several times and showed him the lunch menu item I wanted. The samosas arrived and were very good. Not greasy or overly spicy. When the lunches arrived, I could see we had a problem. No korma. My lunch had kofta, which is not at all what I wanted. And no green salads as were advertised. The food was good, it just wasn't what I ordered. I came for a very specific menu item and didn't get it. The naan was light and not over cooked or bunt like some places. When we tried to order additional samosas to go, the waiter told us he couldn't let us order more food because they were busy getting ready for the dinner buffet. It was t even 12:30 and they are open for lunch until 2:30. We got the bill and they had overcharged by $8, then claimed they couldn't fix it because of their computer. What???? For the food, I would give 4, maybe 5. For the service and frustration, including overcharging and not getting my order - something right there on the lunch menu - correct. There are plenty of other places, so I doubt we'll be back. It was just too frustrating.

    As we walked in the door at Mela, we were greeted by a very friendly employee, who seated us immediately. The food smelled delicious from the start. It took a little bit for the food to come, but the ambiance was good, and we didn't mind. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the service was great.

    Vegetable Korma
    Julie M.

    Ordered one butter chicken lunch portion and one butter chicken dinner portion plus vegetable korma for pickup. When I arrived, I was being charged for two dinner potions. The person who checked me out acted like he didn't know what I was talking about and I ended up paying for both dinner portions. The vegetable korma had a very large layer of grease on it and was definitely not like any other veg korma I have ever had. I called to see what happened and they said that is their vegetable korma. They took my name down and said they'd replace it. So we went tonight to the buffet and I told the waitress I had called and the person who answered took my name down and said to come in for a replacement. She said she'd talk to the manager about it. So we proceeded to dine in at the dinner buffet. Halfway through a guy asked if we were ready for our check, but my son was still eating. He still brought us the check as if to say we had eaten enough and it's time to go. We felt unwelcome and paid our check. They did not discount for the inedible korma, but I paid anyways. I said thank you when the guy brought our receipt back and he just walked away. VERY rude seeing we just spent $55 there. We will NOT be going back. I'm sorry, but you can at least say "You're welcome" or "thank you for dining with us." Definitely won't spend our money here again for a container full of grease and a bad attitude!!!

    I was blown away! The buffet was amazing. I held the door for a couple exiting and was asked if Id been here before, I had not. She raved and said youll love it! Yes ma'am I indeed did. I didnt even think I liked goat but I love it. I just didnt like the way it was prepared elsewhere. Thats the thing with some restaurants, some think you dont know how its supposed to taste and just give you their american take of it. Not here. Its been a minute since I was able to post so I cant recall everything that was offered, but just try it all. Free plain or garlic naan with the buffet. I believe this was just $14.99!!! Crazy deal. If you want buffet takeout, 8.99! Let me tell you the service here is TOP NOTCH. I drink A LOT of water and the staff kept me filled. They were keeping the buffet items fresh and filled. Very efficiently ran, friendly, and professional. The bathrooms were spotless and I really liked that in addition to the sinks inside, they had a communal sink outside the bathrooms with sanitizor. They have a full bar and also a convention room for parties/gatherings. If you cook Indian food, the connected grocery store is fully stocked with anything you'd need. I accidently got too much on my 2nd helping. I felt so bad about wasting in general and the gentleman explained to me, to not have any worries. That I could put it i a to-go box and even add more to it!!!! He explained that what you give out, comes back to you. Karma. What a great mentality and so hospitality. They are definitely doing things right on all levels.

    *face palm* Too hungry to take food pictures. We loved our food tonight! 5 orders: Chana masala (Great flavor, low heat), salmon tandoori, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and okra vegetarian meal (I forget the name). Everyone loved their dish. Half the table had never eaten Indian food and everyone was very pleased. We had picked up our order and I was delighted to see how beautiful the restaurant was when we visited. I hope to return! Excited to give them our business again.

This place feels warm and welcoming upon entrance. They have ample seating and separate space for parties/larger group. (Ample private parking space btw) We were greeted and seated right away. With a hangry kid with us we requested to get mango lassi right away. But in handle full of minutes remaining order was placed too - Chole Bhature, Aloo Tikki Chat, Butter Naan and Malai Kofta. And then the long wait started. We got our lassi after about 10-12 minutes wait and CB and ATC in about another 25-30 minutes. So far after trying multiple restaurants in multiple cities, 5 star has better Chole taste than others. Bhature was average, we have had better Bhature. Aloo tikki chat tasted better once the hot tikki cooled down a little. Lassi had perfect sweetness but bit watered down than a bit of chunky consistency of lassi. The hostess did check on us in between and apologized about wait due to busy hour. We had easily waited good 30 minutes after finishing our appetizers. But! Finally the food arrived. And it was delicious for sure. Perfectly cooked naan, savory but little sweet kofta entree. The only thing lacking was we had ordered mild spice level but this was definitely a medium. Informed our hostess of this to get a response of well the Indian spices can be spruced down only so much. Agreed but not agreed! Women restroom was clean but out of paper towels, (no air dryer) stayed so till I was there. All in all, great food but too long and gaped of a wait for each item to arrive, okay-ish service. I am willing to give this place one more try and hopefully on a less busier hour before I set my review in stone for this restaurant.

I got butter chicken, we got one chicken taco, and 3 asada tacos. We were t sure what we were going to end up with but it was honestly SO good!!! Definitely will be back. This is a horrible photo I snapped to send to someone so I'll upload it, but I don't get any photos of the tacos, but they had a ton of meat on them!

    The name sounded interesting so my husband and I decided to check it out. I had a feeling it was…read moreIndian and Mexican food, sure enough that's it. I really wanted to try something mixed, but the worker said it was mostly either or. I really thought there would be more fusion options, but on the menu - the left side was Indian dishes and the right side was Mexican dishes. We did order a chicken tikka taco (sort of Indian/mexican infused) and then decided on butter chicken in medium. For the taco, you can get corn or flour tortilla and we forgot to specify, but thankfully it came out on corn. The butter chicken came with rice and naan (I forgot to ask if I could make it garlic naan) so it comes with regular. For a drink, I got the mango lassi which is like a mango smoothie with yogurt and milk, and he got a mango jarrrito. Our meal came up to about $30, and we decided to dine in. I got my mango lassi very quickly, it was really smooth and creamy texture, very milky mango tasting. I liked it, but my husband didn't care for it. The jarrito has a bottle cap, and on the wall, there is a bottle opener. I didn't even notice it but my husband did, it's unique and convenient. It took about 15ish mins or so to get our food, we like that it's made fresh and was brought to our table. He gave us extra plates as we were sharing our order. The tikka taco was bland, didn't really have much flavor. He gave us two sauces, one green and one red (he said the red is spicy) and even with that it was just ok. It was however very filled. The regular naan was good, especially when I dipped it in the butter chicken sauce. As for the butter chicken, it was decent. We got it in medium spice and it wasn't very spicy to me. The rice paired well with the butter chicken. The food was enough for both of us to share and be full, plus we had leftovers. The inside was quiet, it wasn't busy when we came. They have tables and booths for dining in. They also offer drive thru service. The inside appeared clean. They have 2 restrooms towards the back of the restaurant, one for men and one for women. The women's restroom didn't have any toilet paper.
