Mela Indian Takeaway in Bristol

The classic mela takeaway. Always loved their food and the service from the longstanding family takeaway. Impressive vegan menu too

An absolute gem of a restaurant - authentic flavours, great value, not heavy or creamy. The meat thali can’t be beaten for value - fees two for £10 no trouble.We honestly don’t go anywhere else now as they’re so consistently good. After going on and off for a decade it still very much like a well kept secret.Customer service also has to get a mention as the owner is so genuine and friendly.

Home like authentic Indian food. Hidden gem

Been eating here years. Best curry, very cheap. Lovely staff

Great range of vegan dishes. Wholesome and tasty eats. Good value for money. Big portions. Friendly staff. Bless x

Over lockdown we tried out loads of local takeaways and for each we were disappointed - hour long waits, food missing, salty food. Then we discovered Mela! Week after week the food has been fantastic, utterly delicious, and hit the spot every time. It’s also incredibly good value. It’s so consistent we don’t bother going anywhere else now, and we recommend Mela to everyone.

Often get curries from here. Great vegan selection clearly listed (although they have non vegan too), good prices, always friendly service with excellent communication about waiting times. The only food place I can think of that me, my partner and my parents all like the food!

Lovely staff but this is where the positivity ends sadly. Ordered two chicken tikka Pathia after reading some of the other recommendations, can’t describe them as a curry as tasted like thin tomato cup a soup with curry powder in and the chicken tasted boiled and bland. The kebabs were nice but looked a bit past their best but were the best thing on the order. The onion bhajis were very floury and had to throw most of our food away . Sadly disappointed after reading all the great reviews , hopefully this is a one off.

great curry at excellent prices must check them out. Staff are lovely and very good to talk and chat too. Me and my partner went in to get curry and even came out with a film recommendation from a very pleasant and polite gentleman who served us. The Dansak was delicious and very reasonably priced. I would happily visit again and get another lovely curry.

Authentic flavours, incredible value, generous servings and not an oil slick curry or overfried bhaji in sight. Spices are complex and fragrant and service is friendly and super helpful. Staff were kind enough to offer us a sample of their chicken tikka and i heartily regret not including it in our order- perfectly tender, charred and seasoned. Won't be going to another takeaway in the area ever again!
