For a genuine Punjabi cuisine experience, head to Mela. Their menu offers a range of Punjabi dishes, from classics like butter chicken and tikka masala to vegetarian options. Every dish bursts with bold and flavorful spices, and ingredients are of high quality. Shouldn’t forget to mention it’s verrrrry reasonably priced.

The food here is SUPERB!!! The paranthas are literally the best we have had in the area – super fresh, taste wonderful and crispy, served with butter, pickle and dahi. And on top of that, the prices are totally reasonable.

20 of us went here for a fun retreat. This place is open 24/7 and they serve freshly made food that they prepare right in front of us. The owner and his family took care of us like a family and we spent 5hrs in the restaurant ordering foods and snacks non-stop.

This place has no redeeming qualities. The food was meh. The chutneys lacked flavor. I couldn’t even finish the chaat. The place stinks of fryer oil, they should really add better vents. The tables and chairs are thrift store quality. Ambience is non-existent. The food isn’t particularly cheap either. The order took forever to arrive with only 2 customers on a weeknight.

We were staying in the area and in need of a late (1am) dinner. We were blown away by our luck to find this gem! The food was incredibly fresh and the seasoning was to a high standard. Further, the staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we understood the menu and received what we needed. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for excellent Indian food and gold tier customer service.

This place is a hidden gem. Their parathas are freshly made to order and have plenty of stuffing. I have tried the aloo and keema paratha and love them both. Their samosas are also outstanding with delicious filling. We also took some sweets to a friend’s party and everyone enjoyed these.

Fantastic restaurant off Ox Road. Always saw it decided to try it out. First, they are open 24hrs, which is great to know. Second, they have a diverse menu from Indian street foods to main entrees. I went with some sweets and samosas.. I got fresh jelabis and they were very tasty. Samosas were very nice with with the mint and tamerine chutneys. Will try other items next time.
