Mela Restaurant

Fourth time I’ve been here but first time eating inside. Just like all the other times, the food is delicious and the staff is super nice and helpful!

Had a lovely dinner with my Indian friends. They really liked it! Thank you!

Good food and location. Prompt service and decent size of each potion

Recommend for Indian food lovers in town

Wonderfully creative options, like a delicious Duck Masala, supplement standards.

The food and service were both excellent.

Food was great but very busy with take out people all over picking up orders!!! So the food is great!!!!

Not a do over. The food wasn’t served warm/hot, the meat was dry/not prepared fresh, the “moderate” spiciness was primarily just salty, and the rice was old. The service was slow and not friendly. We won’t be returning.

Delicious food. Reasonably priced.

The food and the service was excellent, even as busy as it was. Mela is still our favorite for Indian food.

Consistently excellent. So lucky to have this place in the neighborhood.

Amazing food! Amazing service. Drinks were delicious and unique

Lovely night out!

Always a favorite for after theater dinner on Tremont Street. We enjoy the wide variety of dishes and selections. Nice ambience and enjoyable experience. Really like the complete meal for two options, with appetizers, entrees and desserts... Both vegetarian and non vegetarian choices!

We were lucky enough to grab a table outside last minute - it was truly a delicious meal!

Lots of variety everything looked good. The food I did choose was amazing.

The food was great. The waitstaff was very kind and friendly, but they still seem to be learning the rhythm of service. Had to ask for utensils and plates after our food came out.Would come back again, just curious to see if the service improves.

Mela is always great

Do they cook anything fresh? Pre made food, reheated and served. we were in, served, and out in 45 min. Poor service

Love this place

I absolutely love Mela. Their staff is incredible and so helpful, I felt super safe and LOVE their food. One of our fav spots in the city

In a word fantastic!!!

Wonderful little gem in South End at the previous Geoffrey's location. GREAT Indian food! Best garlic nan I've ever had! Not to mention the Lychee Martini! Definitely worth a try. Will be back!

Love love love it!!! I have been coming here for over 10 years. Still my favorite place for Indian food.

Waiter was great ambiance is beautiful and vibes is great and they gave great recommendations on what to eat

We were delighted to return to Mela after the pandemic. We ate outdoors, which was delightful.

One of our favorite places, Mela does not disappoint.. we had a wind meal at a reasonable price . The staff is friendly and accommodating. We will return.

I’m actually obsessed with this place I think it’s the best Indian food in all of Boston!! Their coconut curry and chicken tikka masala are so good. I also love their lychee martinis. The ambience isn’t amazing but it’s fun sitting outside and pretty casual. I wouldn’t go there for a date but I would definitely go there for every day dining. Prices are also super reasonable.

Food was good—they tend to under spice—and wonderfully presented.

It was pretty good but I couldn’t get the right cocktail due to a l

If you are looking for authentic Indian this is not the place for you.
We started with the meat and veggie platters to start which were delicious but it went down hill from there. We asked for medium (heat wise) chicken tikka and various veggie and naan breads and there was no spice or flavour what so ever.

Sauces tasted more like Italian pasta sauce than spicy flavourful indian.

Lovely food and cocktails! Very affordable menu as well. The only improvement I would suggest is making the restaurant look less takeout-esque. The indoor dining seemed a bit out of place and it wasn’t a great ambiance.

great food great service

Wonderful Indian food.

They were so accommodating and friendly! We made a last-minute reservation with a friend and their dog, and the team at Mela was so welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the staff was phenomenal. This is my first time dining here. I’m excited to return!

Fantastic Indian food. I noticed that they're doing fine on their take out which is definitely a plus for their business, given the current situation.

Simply delicious and wonderful, kind service! Highly recommend!

Very good Indian food. Small space limits tables. Outdoor space available when weather is ok.

As you can see this is one of my favorites. The food and service never disappoint. I love their garlic naan and the lentils. Stop in and enjoy

I’m a huge foodie and health care provider who has not been able to enjoy the wonderful offerings of our local restaurants due to the present covid chaos. During such stressful times where caution is appropriate but sanity is important, Mela was the perfect choice. The outdoor seating was great and we were warm with the gas lamps. The staff were really attentive with excellent service and provided great humor throughout the dining experience. The food was fantastic and the cocktails were amazing. From a date, to takeout, to a get together with friends (covid responsible for course), Mela is the spot for you...
