Description

Mela Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience characterized by its outstanding menu, particularly the Mongolian prawn curry and madras, which have earned rave reviews from patrons.

However, some diners have noted issues with the restaurant's temperature and mixed experiences with takeout orders.

For $10.30, the mix kebab takeout was disappointing to say the least. It was not a good mix and seemed like a rip-off. If the kitchen is closed and cannot make it, just inform the customer.

We attended the Mela which is now under new management for a birthday party. We were a large table of 18. The staff were polite and really nice to the kids. They helped us find two extra seats when there was a mix up with the booking. They were expecting 16 of us. The food was delicious. Maybe the one of the tastiest dishes I have tried from an Indian restaurant. The garlic naan bread was lovely too, full of flavour. Drink service was fast and the food came out with good spaces in between each course. From the 18 of us.. There was not one complaint or issue. That's a tricky skill for any restaurant. Thank you

If you can't drop in then the takeaway is damn near just as good. Order direct from the restaurant, they have a cracking discount on at the moment too.

Came to Mela for mine and my parents anniversary, not a massive curry fan but I have to say the food was delicious! Lots of options to choose from regarding menu choices, I couldn’t fault it what so ever, the service was on point very friendly staff and very welcoming, would 100% recommend and definitely will be retuning.
