Attentive staff. The food was very good and arrived in a timely manner. It was on a Tuesday night, therefore, it was very quiet. Enjoyed the atmosphere. We live in Canada, and come to Birmingham every six months. We never miss an opportunity to have a meal at Mela. We are never disappointed.

Three of us visited, we all had different starters and main courses and everyone of them was really tasty and delicious. It was a Saturday evening and the atmosphere was buzzing. It feels this restaurant is back to its previous very good form.

Of the 4 starters ordered, only the onion bargee represented vfm. The mixed grill platter, chicken shashlik, & sheek kebab were very small portion sizes for the cost. One main was ordered & stated twice with no coriander....it came with coriander. As for the flavour, none of the meals could be faulted, but again, £8.95 for 6 small pieces of lamb in the lamb jalfrezi was not vfm. However, the overriding factor for such low score was after finishing our starters at approx. 20:35, & asked by a waiter if we wanted to wait for our mains - to which we replied "no, we'll have them now", by 21:25 there was still no food. After asking a waiter if there was any danger we might get some, the usual "it's just on it's way" was the reply. I again asked another waiter for our food & stated we had been waiting nearly an hour, to which he said "it's not been that long, you've only just had your starters" to which he received a not very polite reply to go away. This restaurant was far more interested in the money spending birthday party at a nearby table to the detriment of the rest of us. It's not the first time our party of 4 have been to Mela, but it was definitely the last. Back to the trusted Bangla Lounge from now on.

A bit disappointed as their website promised a free bottle of wine for bookings of 4 or more and when I asked, they said that offer was no longer available. Meal was ok but nothing special, we used to go there very often when it was the Malibar but it is very bog standard now

This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The starters and mains were very tasty and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed some very reasonably priced wine. Up until the mains the service was good with staff being attentive but not overbearing. Our only disappointment was not being offered desert menus or coffee but overall we were really happy with the quality of the food.

Lovely and clean and hot fresh tasty food. Staff are friendly and never feel rushed for table. Just be aware that there is a £1 per person charge if you take your own drinks even for children which i dont agree with.
