" I must say, Mela has some of the best Indian food in Indy! I ordered the vegetarian thali and it was packed with a variety of delicious dishes. Every item complemented the others well. The only complaint I have is the slight delay in receiving our order. Despite that, the waiter was very attentive and kept us updated. The atmosphere was cozy, with a nice decor that made me feel like I was dining in India. Highly recommend visiting this culinary gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Mela yesterday. It was pretty good overall. I felt the buffet needed more vegetarian options, but the flavors of the chicken curry were good. The service needed improvement; it was a bit slow when we asked for drinks. Nonetheless, still a decent spot for Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I found Mela! As someone who loves Indian food, I was blown away by their lunch buffet. Everything was fresh, and I appreciated the variety of options, especially the vegetarian dishes. The chana masala was bursting with flavor, and the samosas were crispy and delicious. However, the dining area could use a little more decoration to enhance the overall ambience. Nonetheless, I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Mela was an adventure for my taste buds! Each dish we tried took us on an exciting flavor journey. The tandoori chicken was full of flavor and cooked to perfection—juicy and tender. We enjoyed every moment, and the ambiance added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was our first time at Mela Indian Restaurant, and we were very impressed! The service was friendly, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. I tried the lamb rogan josh, and it was incredible! The spices were spot on, truly authentic Indian food. The only downside was the wait time for our food, but the taste was well worth it. We'll be recommending Mela to all our friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Mela Indian Restaurant was quite enjoyable! The atmosphere felt warm and inviting. I particularly loved the mango lassi, it was the perfect companion to the spicy food. The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful; however, I found that portions were slightly smaller than expected. Overall, a good dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding Mela was a treat! The service was prompt and friendly from the moment we arrived. Everything was beautiful and well-presented. The chicken curry was a standout dish, but the vegetarian options were equally scrumptious. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
