Offering a slight update on Ethiopian classics, Mela Bistro is an excellent option for healthy and flavor-forward meat and vegetable based stews. The housemade fermented injera unique in its fluffy airiness, leaving one still feeling light by the end of a meal.A tasteful interior and very friendly service make for a great date spot.

We went to Mela Bistro in groups from San Jose a couple of days ago for diner. We all have a good experience. The food was great. I personally like veggie tibs, veggie kitfo and gored gored. The Tef cake was also great. Everything especially the veggie items were tasty and fast service. Besides, the staffs were very friendly and professional. Adiam Tesfaye treated us great. I will defiantly go there again and recommend Mela Bistro.Etsegenet

Went here for an anniversary & my boyfriend & I weren’t disappointed. We ordered the Meal Plate (for two) and ate it within 15 minutes. The flavors are amazing and you’re provided with so much injera. 10/10! The ginger lemonade is a great palate cleanser as well.
