Mela

Aromas of sizzling meats fill Mela's dining room as patrons sear helpings of marinated lamb chops, scallops, or Atlantic salmon at their tables with hot oiled stones. To supplement the patron-grilled dishes, chefs lend their culinary expertise while baking skewered meats and pillowy naan in a traditional tandoor oven and sautéing lentils and vegetables in a fragrant confetti of herbs and Indian spices. They tailor the amount of heat in each entree to accommodate each diner's preferences, preparing mild, savory dishes as well as meals with enough heat to vaporize an army of snowmen.

Salmon-pink drapes line the dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows, lending a soft touch to the stone flooring and walls lined in sheets of hammered copper.

"Lovely" Lucy Peters: Inhaled entire spoonful of cinnamon using cinnamon stick as a straw

Brick "The Stick" Bancroft: Didn't even cry or say F words

Gwen "Has a Cousin" Havisham: Never did the cinnamon challenge herself but reportedly has a cousin who ate two things of cinnamon

Doug "Dougie" Durcelli: Heroically dove in front of a spoonful of cinnamon before a dog could eat it and get sick

  • Overall, the prices are great and the food is so tasty and there's always enough for leftovers so I will continue to return again and again!

  • The garlic naan is amazing and the chicken tikka masala is mouth-watering. I've also tried a couple of the lamb dishes and they were delicious as well
