The service is always so good here, they make you feel very at home and we asked to make changes in spice and ingredients and nothing was a problem. The food as always was beautiful. So full of flavour and authentic. Along with that it is very well priced. Definitely worth a visit! Loved it!

First class service and lovely food. We couldn’t fault the restaurant and the meal was at a very good price. We highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a good Indian meal in the Harborne area.

A pleasant welcome with prompt service. The menu choice was good but not overwhelming with a nice mixture of the old standards and less common dishes. Reasonably priced.

Starters were amazing (sea bass and Hariali chicken), main courses (2 different chicken dishes from the specials menu, but they tasted very similar) were fine, but nothing special and did not live up the promise of the starters. Great service , very reasonably priced menu and only £1 corkage. If you don't want to take your own wine, they're own alcoholic drinks menu is extremely reasonably priced. Will definitely go back

This was our first time at Mela and it won't be our last. Service was excellent as well as the food which was nice & hot (Not spicy hot) prices were quite reasonable too. We were told they also did a take out service so we took one of their menus for future use. Spotless bathroom facilities. The only downside I would mention is there is a flight of stairs to get to restaurant I couldn't see disabled access for anyone who needs it. Overall we'll definitely go back.

The food wasn't as nice as it's been on previous visits. I was rushed to eat my starter and main. The coke was flat. Just not a great experience.

Gorgeous food, pleasant, stylish setting, friendly service and good value. What more could you ask for? This place is a 'hidden gem', accessed from a single door on the street up a staircase, so don't miss it!

Early evening meal with our daughter who's just started at Birmingham Uni. Thought she might need a good meal!! She didn't get a good meal - she got an excellent meal. Menu was a bit different. I had the lamb from their speciality page - beautiful. Really tender meat and full of flavour. Could easily miss restaurant as single doorway with restaurant upstairs. Don't let entrance put you off as dining area very upmarket. Totally recommend.

drinks were off I decided to tell the waiter who instead patronised us by telling us it was due to the ice. The drinks were undrinkable & we were still charged £5:95. No aplogy or nothing. Food was ok but really oily. Price wise over price for what u get. Sorry its not the best.
