Meh. Mela is OK, I think India Garden is slightly better though. I've been spoiled by San Francisco. The ambiance is nice.

As another reviewer pointed out the reviews for Mela have trended down recently. My lunch there yesterday helps to explain this downtrend; Mela is not as good as it once way. The food and service...

Mela has a pretty decent lunch buffet with lots of vegetarian options. Maybe all vegetarian? It might not be the most authentic and it might not pack enough spice for you..but its definitely tasty....

During our brief trip to Asheville, we were completely lost around town, and couldn't find the restaurant we wanted to eat at. We got so hungry that we decided to eat at the very next restaurant we...

Quite tasteless and that's hard to do with Indian food.The ratings trend since Sept of 2008 has gone downhill precipitously. Looks like it received high ratings prior to that. In 8 ratings since...

Not sure why people praise the lunch buffet at Mela. The decor and ambiance is beautiful there, to be sure, the crowd is laid-back, and the buffet is a reasonably-priced lunch. However, the food is a...

"Meh. I've experienced better." is about what I think of Mela. I actually like coming here for their dinners, which I would give a 3-4 star. The atmosphere and food is well prepared and good! It's...

The restaurant in downtown Asheville is really bustling at lunch time. I've had the lunch buffet on three occasions - always different, always excellent. The service is not the best, but the food is great.

I love Indian food...and grew up eating it in Europe. So I was excited when Mela opened. However, I have now eaten there three times and what I find is that almost every dish has so much chilli pepper in it...

Mela's lunch buffet is too tasty to pass up. A frequent visitor, this place gets packed at lunch because the food is abundant and very good. It comes with salad if you want light, or chicken with creamy sauce,...
