A favourite with critics and patrons alike, Mela is proud to have received many culinary awards over the past 10 years, including most recently Regional Winner of Best Indian Restaurant in the Archant London Food and Drink Awards. These can only reflect the true brilliance of Mela's inspired menu that delivers the promise of authentic Indian dishes infused with passion and flair!
Mela's menu showcases the varying cultures, traditions, celebrations and styles of living that give character to Indian cuisine. Our food varies according to its regional location. Flavours and aromas are robust, exciting and truly unique. Fine ingredients, cooking methods and distinct tastes and textures ensure that you experience the true joy of Indian dining.
A celebration of Indian cuisine right in the centre of bustling London, Mela restaurant has a unique take on the Indian restaurant from start to finish. In a part of the capital that’s near Covent Garden and right on Shaftesbury Avenue, an area usually associated with Chinese food, Mela is a stand-out for style, taste and service. The airy dining room, full of natural light, is decorated in a completely contemporary manner, warm colours and simple shapes giving a clean, comfortable feel. Good service is a high priority at Mela where you’ll be greeted warmly and treated like a VIP throughout your visit. From the foothills of the Himalayas to the warm seas of the coast, Mela reflects the hugely varied and inspiring cuisine of India, opening minds and stomachs to more than your usual tikka masala. Colourful, robust in flavour and evocative of the subcontinent, every dish is prepared with care and great attention to detail.
Signature dish: Tiger prawns marinated in saffron, caraway seeds and coriander.
