Food and Service very good. If anything needs changing it is a tweak in the decor as it is very stark due to the cold green wall lighting which could be easily sorted with a different bulb to create a warmer feel but other than that it is a nice restaurant. No complaints.

If you have ever been to Mela before you will know the set up downstairs. This should be used for people collecting takeaways or waiting for a table upstairs. I booked about a month before our trip & when we arrived we were told our table would be a few minutes. They then rushed a couple who were sat at the table right outside the kitchen & told us this was our table. The manager seemed bemused that we declined this table & so we left. No customer service was provided or an explanation but feel that our table had been given to a walk in guest. This was really disappointing after having two great meals before. However, we had just as good a meal at another Indian restaurant just up the road. (Shahibs)

Outstanding curry house. Myself and my husband are newly weds and have come for a mini moon in the lakes. Our go to meal is a curry. After researching the curry houses locally we ended up finding this one. So pleased we did because it was hands down, one of the best chicken dansaks I've had. The curry was outstanding. My husband had the lamb madras and the lamb was succulent and fell apart. Both extremely tasty curries. Surprised this only has 4 stars as it definetely deserves 5. Ready the previous reviews about the service, appreciate people have different experiences. The service we received was warm, friendly and they were very attentive. Always made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us throughout. Service also 5 star. If you are a massive curry lover and need a decent curry house, just come here. Absolutely unbelievable. I'm still thinking about it the next day.

We went here for dinner as we’d arrived late and nowhere else was open. Staff were great and we didn’t wait long for anything. Had the mix starters and these were nice. I ordered the butter chicken and the only way to describe it is to say it looked like pink custard. It had a skin on the top so I stirred that in but the sauce was an odd texture. It was also surprisingly very sweet. My husband really enjoyed his tikka masala!

We ordered a chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka bhuna masala with mushroom rice and a peshwari naan and it was all delicious. We were so pleased with the food we ended up ordering a takeaway later in the week. The food was piping hot even by the time we had walked back to our campsite and of course, it was lovely. We will be back again ☺️

We are frequent diners of Indian food for last 40 yrs at various locations around England and Scotland, and rate the food at Mela’s as the best ever.

Went to take away food for my family and on entering i asked the server that i wanted his suggestions regarding the menu on which he started off really rudely. Saying that everything is good look at the menu Can’t you read. J was appalled yet remained composed and continued to explain that i had read the menu outside already but i was confused about which gravy to order so what would you recommend. He rudely said that you can’t eat what i would recommend i eat spicy. I said we also eat spicy he just said you can buy “dish name” but you cant eat it too hot and rudelg just stepped into some back room mid sentence. I was too anngry to even say anything and as much as i want to go back in again and ask if this behaviour was specific for me because of my hijab, i feel like that would be stooping to his level. But management should really look into their servers attitudes. Would not recommend this hateful place to anyone

The dishes at this takeaway are comparably priced to Kendal's leading Indian Takeaway but the quality is nothing like as good as their food; and it comes to you cold! I thought I would give this place a try last December so I went in and bought a Lamb Jalfrezi, a portion of Pilau Rice, two Onion Bhaji's and a garlic & Coriander Naan as they had no other Naans by this point. The Lamb Jalfrezi tasted good and authentic, but when added to the rice, I finished up with a lot of watery liquid with my meal which was disappointing. The Onion Bhaji's were overpriced for the size of them ( 3 inch flat patties) and were very oily! The Naan bread, when heated in the oven completely dried out in the middle and was like a cracker biscuit - not good! I paid an amount comparable to that had I gone to The British Raj, except from there it would have all been top quality and freshly prepared which non of this food was (they make it all in a kitchen in Lancaster apparently) and hot; ready to eat. Support your local Indian Takeaway folks - that is what I will be continuing to do.

We have bought food there twice. The guys are kind and serve generous portions. Really friendly, and I would go back again and again. Thanks for being authentic 🤗

We had the worst dinner at the Eastern Balti, not just the worst Indian food. Everything our group of 4 ordered was dry, overcooked and flavourless. Lamb/meat? and chicken cubes, and chicken tandoori leg kebabs were chewy, sinewy and tasteless, chicken tough and no flavour. Lots of gravy on two of our orders which were not Indian in the least. Manager stated their food was to the taste of Michelin-star chefs who were regular weekly customers, but spectacularly failed to deliver. One to avoid!

Ordered takeaway delivery was extremely disappointed in butter chicken about 5 strips of chicken & half a tub full of just sauce. Though rest of order was good.

I wasn’t expecting much from an Indian restaurant in the heart of the Lakes, but was very pleasantly surprised. We were there on a Sunday night and they weren’t very busy. The decor is a bit tired inside but don’t let that put you off. The food was piping hot, freshly cooked and tasty. It’s cash only and take your own booze. I would definitely go again next time we’re staying in Coniston.
