I went for the weekday lunch buffet and the service was good. However, the food wasn’t hot and there wasn’t much variety. For example there were no samosa and rolls. The restaurant has potential, but it needs some improvements to be better. Thank you!!

Mela Modern Indian Cuisine is undoubtedly one of the finest Indian Cuisine restaurants in Boston. I tried the buffet and was impressed with the taste and the options offered. I especially like the hospitality of the staff which I felt was friendly and courteous.
The space crunch is indeed a setback which could be improved with a little tweak in the furniture. Food was delicious and could have been better but so far it is one of the best Paneer I have tasted. The owner was good and allowed to stay for long.
I would recommend making a reservation for dine in which would surely save you an hour or two.

Early weekend dinner for a party of 4 plus a fur kid. Quickly found a patio seating and started with non veggie platter of roast chicken, samosa, minced lamb, and battered chix nuggets. Then enjoyed shared plates of lamb korma, vindaloo, tofu curry and chicken masala with steamed basmati rice and hot garlc butter naan. Spice level of medium was just right and each serving was delicious and not greasy. Mango lassi and pistachio smoothie were refreshing. Service was attentive and prompt. Had a great get together dinner.

Met some friends here for the weekend lunch buffet, and we all enjoyed it! I have a dairy allergy, so they walked me through the buffet to let me know my options. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. It was a good deal too!

Horrible food for prices that they keep increasing every single week. staff is rude and wants to take your plate every five minutes even if you’re not done eating the service takes forever and the food becomes rock hard and is not fresh. does not do justice to Indian food

A True Taste of India at Mela Indian Cuisine!
I recently visited Mela Indian Cuisine with my husband, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food is incredibly authentic it truly reminded us of the vibrant street food and dhaba style dishes from India.
We started with pani poori and pav bhaji, and both were bursting with flavor just like what you’d find on the streets of Mumbai. For our mains, we enjoyed chicken tikka masala, goat curry, a variety of veg curries, biryani, and restaurant style kababs. Every dish was cooked to perfection with rich spices and bold flavors.
The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the food speaks for itself. If you’re looking for real Indian taste from street snacks to hearty curries Mela is the place to go. We’ll definitely be returning!

I visited Mela Restaurant with five friends this weekend and tried their weekend unlimited buffet and wow, what an experience! Hands down, the best Indian buffet in Boston at the most affordable price.
From the moment we stepped in, the aroma of authentic spices welcomed us. The buffet had a great variety 4–5 delicious appetizers like idly, veg samosa, chicken kebab, and spring rolls each item fresh and full of flavor.
For the mains, goat curry, chicken tikka masala, baingan bhartha, Aloo cholay, Paneer Saag, and chicken tandoori were absolutely top notch. You could taste the love in every bite it honestly reminded me of my mother’s cooking. The surprise addition of pav bhaji and pani puri made me feel like I was back in India for lunch.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, the dessert section had gulab jamun and rice pudding (kheer), the perfect sweet ending to a heavenly meal.
Whether you’re an Indian food lover or trying it for the first time, Mela is a must visit. It’s not just a meal it’s a trip to India on a plate. Highly recommend!

We were looking for a quick dinner after arriving at Logan airport from a long trip, we found this gem. We didn’t have a reservation, were seated right away but we definitely recommended it.
As soon as I opened the door, the aroma from all the spices were incredible. The food was incredible, service was very prompt. The lamb coconut curry dish was amazing, it was nice and hot, the garlic and onion naan and the mango lassi were good. We were seated in front of the window and it was just a beautiful feeling. I would say it’s a tight place but there is plenty of space, a very cozy restaurant, the chairs were a bit uncomfortable but suitable. The atmosphere was very peaceful, relaxing, everyone enjoying the moment. I can’t wait to come back.
Came back once again, did not disappoint me. I loved the service, the food was amazing.

Visited Mela for a delightful Indian feast, and it did not disappoint! We tried the samosa chaat, paneer chili, dal makhani, and paneer makhani—all bursting with authentic flavors and spices. The naan was perfectly fluffy, and each curry had a rich, comforting taste. To top it off, we absolutely loved the house-made mango ice cream and the badam kulfi, which added a sweet and refreshing end to the meal. A perfect spot for anyone craving a true taste of India!

Exceptional Indian cuisine with comprehensive bar options! My espresso martini was wonderful and dh had a house gin and tonic that was incredibly flavorful. Extensive wine menu which is surprising at such a reasonably priced menu. Only $56 for the 5 couse meat meal for two. We will be back!
