" While dining at Mela, I felt that the authenticity was somewhat lacking. My experience was a mixed bag. The dishes were decent but not exactly what I expected from an Indian place. I found the korma to be bland and too creamy, while the samosas were nice and crunchy. Service was reasonable, but I encountered a language barrier with the staff, which made ordering a bit challenging. Overall, it’s a solid spot for those looking for something new, but authentic Indian food isn’t guaranteed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations when I went to Mela, and while parts of the meal were enjoyable, it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. The butter chicken was a bit too sweet for my palate, and the rice served with it was overcooked. On the bright side, the garlic naan was hot and well-buttered, and the ambiance was nice for a weekday dinner. I might come back to give it another shot but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mediocre experience at Mela. The food was not too bad, but it didn't meet my expectations for authenticity either. I found the curry to be more on the sweet side rather than spicy. On a positive note, the service was friendly, and it was a nice setting for dining out. I might come back if they improve their flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot about Mela, I finally decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did! The atmosphere was inviting, perfect for a cozy lunch. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every one of them was delectable. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciated. Overall, a highly enjoyable experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Mela! I went for lunch with some friends, and the buffet was a pleasurable experience. Plenty of vegetarian choices which were delightful. My favorite was the aloo gobi, perfectly spiced, and I couldn't resist going back for seconds. The staff actively checked on us, providing exceptional service throughout our stay. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to admit I expected more authenticity at Mela. My chicken masala was bright but a touch sweet, and while it wasn't bad, it didn't wow me. Service was friendly; I had a good time overall, just hoped for a touch of the traditional. I may visit again but might look for something more authentic first next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing find in Boston! I was taken here by a friend who swore by their food. I have to admit, it was delightful. The spices in the tandoori chicken were evident, and the naan was perfectly fluffy. I had a small issue with the timing of service, as my drink took longer than expected, but the food came promptly. I left feeling satisfied and would gladly return. " (*Curated Review*)
