Mela Indian Cuisine (Swindon) in Swindon

Best Indian food in Swindon, noticeable difference in quality and friendly environment / staff

food was amazing, staff was very efficient and helpful! defo will be coming again and will recommend

So Sad!! Mela used to be my "go to" restaurant. Just taken delivery of what is supposed to be a madras & a jalfrezzi. Madras has visible uncooked spices. Jalfrezzi has large pieces of uncooked pepper & onion. Both very salty and really not very nice. The naan was average, nothing like it used to be. The rice was nice, I cooked it myself! WHAT HAPPENED MELA???

Absolutely superb dhansak. Service and atmosphere were great. All dishes were very well prepared. Will be coming back.

Waste of money, they put sugar in every dishes. I couldn't feel the real taste of the food. I can't believe sugar in coconut rice and chicken tikka komar.

The food and service was amazing

Food and service was amazing! 10/10!

Very nice food, service is quality, take very good care customers.

Amazing food!!! Perfect service!!! Highly recommended

The food was amazing. I love starter a lot.

As soon as you spot the excessive tomatoes in a dish you know you have a problem. We very rarely order Indian food for obvious reasons as I’m a chef. And I hate to be writing this review but I did call the manager and he really had no interest in fixing this. We paid almost £12 for this Prawn Balti dish. Come on Mela - do better please. It became a spot the prawn competition.

Absolutely incredible food, very friendly service. Portion sizes were massive and everything was freshly cooked. Definitely will be back!!

Love the food and the staff are so kind

Excellent, Ruchi’s now has competition !!

Very nice food, staff polite and efficient

Great food, great service, lovely place to eat, would recommend!!

Our favourite curry house in Swindon, always delicious food, both classics and house special, and a great value meal deal during the week. Love their dansak!

Very tasty, good selection and great service.

Brilliant Curry house with lovely staff and good prices 👍🏼

Good was delicious and lovely atmosphere

Good really good. Drink service a bit slow. Website not up to date and advertises a different menu which we wanted so was disappointed when we got here to find out that was previous owners.

Excellent food!!Very impressed with service!!Always recommend

We love it here, food and service very good. Husband has been 5x in 3wks and is already planning next visit. Thank you!

We came for an impromptu dinner on a weekday and was greeted by very friendly waiters. The food was very tasty and plentiful. We had veg platter starters, chicken 65, tandoori mixed grill, Chana, chicken curry and paratha. We probably over ordered but we still ate it all! We even got to speak to chef who was nice. Toilets were clean. Parking nearby so good location. Thanks very much !

Food is very tasty, I like the lay out of the menu. The best naan bread in Swindon. Service is friendly and discreet, the only thing that could do with a little work is the atmosphere. This can’t be helped if there are few tables but music etc could be a tad louder and more consistent. Over all nice experience.

Beautiful food. Walked in and got a table. Food was lovely. Portions bigger than I expected with 4 vegetable pakora and lots of chicken in my curry with a good sized naan. The service was good, they checked that everything was OK but didn't keep bugging me which was great.

Exceptional Indian cuisine with impeccable service. Chef Porimol Dey truly stands out with his courteous demeanor and expertise in perfectly blending authentic Indian spices into our dishes. Highly recommend!

Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. Food is delicious and staff is very friendly. Highly recommended

Amazing food. One of the best Indian restaurants/food I have ever tried. Highly recommended!

Awesome curry. Naga tikka vindaloo lovely... Very tasty not just plied with curry powder. See ice brilliant and not overly expensive. A great curry house one of the best in Swindon.

We hadn't been here for a while but saw they were advertising a new menu. We didn't try anything new but what we ordered was delicious. The service was great and all reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back again soon.

Best Indian restaurant in swindon.will be back soon

Delicious food as usual. We been there last thursday.

Not an Indian restaurant, it’s a Bangladeshi restaurant. Had the worst ever Aloo paratha here. There was literally no aloo ( potatoes) in the Aloo paratha. We also ordered Paneer butter masala & Mushroom jalfrezi and the taste was below standard . Not sure if all the reviews are genuine. Only Tandoori roti was good .

Tasty food and Good customer service.

Fantastic contemporary Indian cuisine, best in Swindon for a long time. I really enjoyed the Bhuna and my friend really enjoyed the onion Bhaji starter

We just had a fantastic meal (10/3). We've been regulars here for a long time. Mela is a very welcoming place. The menu is varied and the chef is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Delightful meal & service. Thank you

Hey Shylan! The service you’ve given is absolutely phenomenal. Thank you ever so much. We’ve enjoyed food so much and had a lovely time with our family. Keep up the good work 💯☺️

Amazing food, friendly service. We keep going back because it's so good. I tell my friends and family it's the best Indian I've ever had. I wish we could come more often! Reasonably priced as well.

Great food and attentive service.

Really good food with a healthy portion to fill any satisfactions. One of the top Indian restaurants I’ve eaten at and would highly recommend.

The best Indian I have ever had definitely coming back here again

One of the best curry’s I’ve had in Swindon recently, far far above your stock food - good sized portions and staff happy to do the take home bit if it’s a bit too much. Chef often comes into the Resturant to see if you’re happy . Definitely coming back and would recommend Jason - Old town resident

Delicious food with excellent environment and Fast service

My family and I have been here since it's opening. It has been a great experience every time. Their food and service is Excellent. The ambiance is also very welcoming and charming. Their Staffs are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. I have to say, we enjoyed every single bite of the meal. Considering the quality, the price is quite reasonable. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and delicious food

If we're in town for a night out and fancy a curry, The Mela is always our port of call. Excellent menu, food always perfectly cooked and served.

Good food and very nice ambiance
