Was hoping for lunch buffet but missed it but it was still amazing. Wait staff was great, helped me select lunch. Great atmosphere and quiet. If you are on the south side of Indy you should check this place out!

Very nice little spot. Excellent butter chicken, tandoori chicken & gulab jamun. Buffet on
My recent visit to Mela Restaurant left me thoroughly dissatisfied, and I feel compelled to share my unfortunate experience. Despite my anticipation of enjoying authentic Indian cuisine, my encounter with the establishment was marred by numerous disappointments.First and foremost, the quality of the food fell far short of the restaurant's claims. What was promised as an exquisite culinary experience turned out to be anything but. The flavors lacked depth, and the dishes failed to impress.Equally disappointing was the demeanor of the staff. Far from being welcoming and accommodating, they appeared disinterested and indifferent to the needs of the patrons. To add insult to injury, I encountered an unsettling issue with the payment process. Not only did the restaurant refuse to accept Indian credit cards, but they also subjected me to unnecessary inconvenience and delay. Moreover, upon opting for alternative payment methods, I was shocked to find that the staff arbitrarily inflated the bill, charging more than the actual amount.As a visitor to Indianapolis, I had hoped for a taste of home comforts at Mela Restaurant. Instead, I was met with a stark reminder of the challenges and frustrations that often accompany dining experiences in India.My earnest plea to the owner of Mela Restaurant is to implement necessary improvements promptly. Prioritize customer satisfaction by employing courteous staff and ensuring transparent and fair billing practices. After all, the happiness and contentment of your patrons should always remain paramount.In conclusion, my encounter with Mela Restaurant was far from satisfactory, and I sincerely hope that necessary measures will be taken to rectify the shortcomings. Thank you.

Nice ambience and amazing customer service.All the dishes we tried here were 10/10.
Had higher expectations for the food! Service was great, and the ambiance and the atmosphere was good as well. They definitely should improve the dinner buffet options and quality however! I understand that the price is fair but honestly I wouldn’t mind paying more for better food!!
