Best Indian food I've ever had. Period. Just look at that picturesque chicken tikka masala .. my mouth is watering all over again. It's not a trip to Asheville until I've visited Mela's at least once.

The lunch buffet is an awesome value for this super tasty authentic Indian food . The Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite from any I've had in the U.S.

Awesome lunch buffet in a lovely Indian environment. I go there weekly, at least. Take-out lunch is the best bargain- fill it up to go.

I had delicious chicken tikka masala with some hot golden milk on a cool fall day. Would recommend.

I've been to Mela 6 times since moving to North Carolina. It's delicious, consistent and I have a love affair with my 'usual' extra spicy vindaloo !

Great taste, went for buffet . Not too many items on the menu. Highly recommended!!

Food was very good! They were out of lime pickle though, which is one of my favorite parts of the meal.

Great food and great atmosphere. The Mela curry is amazing, I usually get the lamb .

Very popular restaurant with Indian families. Great food but the restaurant could use some maintenance updates.

Lunch buffet is delicious and reasonable at $10. With the buffet , you can get a draft beer for $1.35!

My first-ever Indian food , and what a great place to begin. An excellent meal and warm atmosphere. I wish Mela was in my hometown.

The chicken curry special was awesome! Get the spinach and goat cheese bread on the side to soothe the zing!

Chicken tikka masala was delicious. Not too heavy and an easily shareable portion size!

Love it for lunch . Friday is Chaiday. Add it for $2 including almond milk

Outstanding. Best meal we have had in a while.

The best Indian cuisine in Asheville

Twin parents at Sierra Nevada told us this Indian food is unreal. Like the best ever.

Delicious Madras Vegetables and killer cocktails !

The lunch buffet was just enough food, didn't feel overly stuffed afterward.

Very good Food! Had Tandoori Chicken ! Excellent

Please introduce yourself to the owner,, anuup.. Really nice guy and so down to earth.

Great restaurant !!! Double Ka Meetha is delicious!!!!

Try the mango lassi . You won't be disappointed.

Try their housemade chai or ginger limeade both are amazing.

The lunch buffet is really good

Better for dinner than lunch ! The lunch buffet is cheap but not stellar!

Get the buffet . Avoid filling up on rice .

Great naan and huge lunch buffet ...too much food!

Vindaloo is seriously spicy and delicious

Absolutely love this India restaurant . Never go to Asheville without going here.

Try the Goldina drink....like a nice mojito !

Lemme tell ya... this Kashmiri chicken was mind blowing!

Draft beer is only $1.35 with buffet !

The chai is totally worth the extra $2 at lunch .

First try at Indian. Impressive !

This place ended up ruining my night by refusing to take the one card I had brought with me to pay for my meal! WHY WILL THEY NOT TELL CUSTOMERS UP FRONT THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT DISCOVER CARD!

Delicious fresh food

$1 off each buffet when you pay with cash.

The lunch buffet

I love their buffets !

Highly recommended.

I had the spiciest Chicken Vindaloo ever here! It's good, but get a glass of water! or three!

When the waitress says the Chicken Vindaloo is atomic, she means it. BEWARE!

Food good, service could better

Lunch here is very affordable and delicious!

Best indian food in the south

Belly dancers are amazingly talented

Love this place - it's the favorite Indian restaurant for both my husband and I. Be warned - when the wait staff stress that the five stars is hot - it's really freaking hot. When my husband ordered
