Tinseltown Ealing in Ealing

The food is the shining star at this restaurant. A beautiful Massala curry with prawns, accompanied by some tasty tandoori lamb chops. Service was a bit hit n miss, but it did its job. The food did take a while but I wasn’t in a rush. If I was in the area again, I’d definitely return for a great curry.

Best Indian in Ealing. Lovely staff

Great set lunch menu at wonderful price Food so tasty and staff friendly and welcoming

3.5 stars rounded up! Got complementary poppadoms, chutneys were tasty. We are Indian and found the butter chicken and chilli paneer to be a little bit on the sweeter side but flavourful. Garlic naan was good too. Portion sizes were good enough for 2 people. We didn’t get it, but the table next to us ordered a mixed grill, and it smelled really good! Service was nice. Overall decent, but will have to come back and see if they can adjust the meal to suit our palate.

Very professional place , freindly staff and good location near Ealing Broadway station. The menu offered a extensive variety of starters / mains for vegetarian and non vegetarian. The restaurant set up was very tidy and table was positioned well. Definitely my top three restaurants in Ealing.

I did a take away, staff friendly, polite paneer was good, lamb good, but channa a bit undercooked!! Bit disappointing. This is a only Indian restaurant after Madhu’s they need a bit of attention.

Perfect place with perfect meal!

Really nice restaurant. Perfect service and amazing dishes. Thanks

Amazing place to have authentic indian food

Warm welcome, very good foodand nice place. I recommend, nice restaurant in Ealing.

Excellent food and service ! Very recommended to food lovers !

Delitious food and fantastic atmosphere and service. We highly recommended Good bless

Thank you for a serving such a lovely food and we bless your work and this place and all the staff in here.Great service! In mighty Jesus name.

Lovely food. The mixed grill was cooked very well. Excellent service by the staff

Fantastic service at Mela, the waitresses are so sweet and hospitable. Poppadoms on the house were a nice touch. For starters we had onion bahji’s which were delicious and samosas which I felt could have done with a thinner pastry. For mains we had chicken madras, saag paneer and the goan prawn curry with pilau rice and garlic naan. Everything was delicious except the saag paneer which I’m am sad to say disappointed me a little. Overall a great experience for my birthday dinner!

Wonderful service great food worth every penny A+

Great restaurant and good food, good customer service as well. Highly recommended if you need good Indian cuisine.

Lovely little place. Service was impeccable. Great quality food. I always judge a curry on whether it upsets the stomach in any way and there was not even a murmur of a gurgle after eating here. Butter Chicken, Keema Naan, Pilau Rice and Chicken Tikka Massala. Stayed in Ealing twice now and would stay there again just to eat here!

Was decent. I wouldn't really call it fine dining. Pretty standard restaurant with ok service. Long waiting times between starters and mains over an hour, everyone was getting hungry. Would i come again ? Probably not.

We had mums 70th birthday meal here for a group of 14. Prior to the day, Shiya handled my booking very attentively and advised that bringing a cake would be okay. Poppadoms were served prior to us ordering the starters. The starters ordered were very nice, both vegetarian and meat dishes. Waited a bit of time between courses as some guests did ask how long it was going to be. This could have been due to the size of the booking and dishes ordered. I would recommend a bit more attentiveness to larger bookings. The mains were also very nice and tasted fresh, with flavour. Wines, beer, and cocktails served. All in all, it's a nice restaurant in the heart of Eailing. Good vegetarian and seafood options on the menu. Shiya who is front of the house, was very nice and very keen to make her diners feel welcome.

I had lunch with my mum here today, food was so lovely and on point and Rithu had amazing customer service skills. I will definitely come soon again here. Nice environment and settings 💯 love it!

Nice, very nice actually. The food was really good although a little bit too spicy for us; we still ate it because it was really good. Service was very good, we couldn't fault it at all. The atmosphere was just too busy for me to deal with. I have very bad tinnitus and the place was just too noisy for me. Overall, it was very good and we will possibly go back there next time we're in the area. However, it was a little bit too expensive compared to other Indian restaurants we have been to so we won't be rushing back there. Overall score: 8 out of 10.

friendly and courteous staff, ambience is nice but not outstanding, unfortunately the food was far too spicy, almost inedible. In return there was a dessert for free. Unfortunately, vegetables in the “mix vegetables dish” are a bit rubbery and not fresh.

We went to Mela restaurant on valentine's day for the first time ,we were amazed by the quality of food and service. Each dish tasted so delicious and unique. Staff putting extra effort to serve customers with respect. I highly recommend this Restaurant. We definitely go back very soon. Louise

Friendly service and very nice atmosphere for Valentine's Day. I have enjoyed a lot my sweet ball for a dessert. A place to recommend:)

Great food and kind welcoming staff :)

Nice ambience and helpful people . Indian taste and tasty food

Best service and food. After along time had dal makhani which taste so good to pallete. Nice stuffed paratha.

Nice food and service really tasty

Delicious and fantastic service. Going to be back very soon!

Totally delicious! It was our first time ordering and everything was perfect. We had Chicken Jalfrezi, Chicken Madras and Aloo Gobi. All were great. Recommend.

We dined here for a birthday celebration, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. The food was excellent, with a variety of delicious vegetarian options available. Our waitress provided exceptional service, welcoming us warmly and ensuring our experience was nothing short of superb. To top it off, they surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake, adding a delightful touch to the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service.

Delicious! My husband and I have ordered food and also ate at the restaurant. Very fresh, tasty and delicious menu. Everything fantastic and glad for it to be a fabulous edition of Ealing Broadway. Will be returning.

I‘m normally Not the Kind of Person to do many reviews but I Need to do one for Mela Restaurant! We were looking for a Restaurant pretty spontaneous and just thought Why not trying the Mela restaurant? And I never looked back. It‘s the best Indian restaurant where I ever was! The food was amazing also for the price of 70£ having 2 forecast, 2 main courses, 3 drinks you can really Not say much. The staff was amazingly kind and attentive as well. I can just say Thank you to the whole team and I will surely come back when I will be un London again!

Been coming back to the UK for 12 years and end up drawn back to Milton Keynes normally. We fell ill on this trip so ended up eating local. I will not be going back to Milton keynes again for Indian food. I had the chicken jalfrezi my with the chicken tikka masala both with the perfect heat to not blow the roof of your mouth of and leave you wanting more. I also got the lamb chops (always have enough food for the next day) they were equally as tasty. Lovely people and in the right place for when we stay in ealing next year.

Beautiful meal , amazing service and the restaurant is great. Food exceptional and prices really good!! We will be back for sure

Very nice atmosphere and good food We served from ritu she served very very nice professionally thanks

Food very good. Wine not so much. Staff very attentive prices very good

Excellent food with lots of options, vegetarian and non vegetarian, lovely mango lassi!

The papri chaat was stale and almost inedible. Mix grill was ok but meat tasted a little off. Main course was ok but I've had better for cheaper the price. Naan breads were good. I eat Indian food regularly and wouldn't visit this place again. The waiter was telling us the chef has lots of experience but didn't seem like it from the food he made! Service was good and staff were friendly and helpful

It was great experience, enjoyed Indian cuisines felt like home

Amazing food and service. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious!

Great experience; excellent customer service and fabulous food. 10/10.

Service was top notch , and the food was 10 out of 10 , very excellent customer service

Really wonderful food and staff!!! Cant recommend higher ☺️

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is absolutely amazing, the place is beautiful, very convenient close to the station, great service. And they have an extensive vegan menu, I love this place!

Loved the aubergine masala and Peshawari naan. All the dishes we ordered came with good portions and were not very spicy except the jackfruit and mushroom biryani. Even the kids enjoyed it. There was a large selection of vegetarian menu. The service was great and the staff were friendly. Very accommodating and helpful to things we asked for. Parking is a bit of a trouble. There is road side parking and it is free after 7pm. But quite hard to get a spot though.

The food is absolutely delicious, definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great restaurant, came for lunch and was very pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and fresh with the set lunch menu being so reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will most definitely be going back for more !

Lovely fresh, fragrant food. Service was outstanding and the price is excellent value for money. Highly recommended

Food is amazing will definitely recommend and visit again.

Starters were amazing, but main let it down. The prices were cheap and the service was excellent

We booked Mela restaurant for a staff Christmas party. They were very accommodating and opened the restaurant earlier than usual for us. They also accepted my request to serve the lunch menu at 4pm - normally they serve that between 12 - 2. The staff are very friendly and the food tasted nice. All of my colleagues enjoyed their food too. The lunch menu is really good value for money - 2 courses for £10, 3 courses for £11.

I had a delightful experience at Mela. At the restaurant, the atmosphere was nice and friendly, and the staff went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. The food was delicious, and I would highly recommend this place to others.

Restaurant is beautiful and buzzing, I loved the lamb chops. The malabar fish curry and Lamb biriyani were stunning. Highly recommend.

Awesome place to eat Indian food. Food quality and quantity was good. I like the authentic taste. Must visit with family and friends.

Nice atmosphere, spacious, good selection of food with amazing taste.

Super tasty food and great service. A must go in Ealing Broadway

The food was super delicious, very good portions and the service was excellent. Will definitely come back

Good quality food, highly recommend this place to families. Best service in west London!

Another great meal at Mela Great back story too.

Great food, spicier than i thought which is always a good thing. Service was fantastic, really friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Also suggested the best pudding by Vipul! Really highly recommended! Enjoy

So glad I found this fine dining restaurant in Ealing. Food was delicious, top quality. I really appreciated that they prepared a special curry for me (butter paneer) without onions and garlic. It was the tastiest curry I have ever had and I am indian! All dishes were prepared with the right blend of good quality spices. It was an excellent experience. I will go back or order from this restaurant again for sure.

Amazing restaurant- the best authentic Indian in Ealing by a country mile. Used to have to go to Southall for this quality. Definitely recommend.

Amazing place,makes you wanna come back.Food excellent,staff tentative and warm.A must visit for sure!

Mela was an amazing experience! They let us stay 30 mins past closing time. The atmosphere was great & the establishment was very clean. The food was incredible & arrived swiftly. They even threw in some extras! Amazing staff & great food. Best spot in Ealing!

Friendly staff. Cocktails are not good. Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala was on the sweet side. Not to my taste. Garlic naan was very good.

Can improve the service. The food taste can be improved.

Had a takeaway dinner for two last night. Ordered over the phone as the website is not up and running. Staff was courteous and the ordering process went without any issues. The good - bhindi rani was excellent, gulab jamun was great - tasted like home-made jamun rather than store bought ones. Not so good - parathaas has stones in it - could've been from the tandoor but it was no pleasant experience biting into stones. butter chicken gravy had too much cardamom and it was off-putting. the chicken itself was good and had a nice smokey flavor but the gravy had too much cardamom. Got a 30% opening week discount which was great, but otherwise we weren't blown away by the food! Update: Gave Mela a second chance and had a dine-in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Lamb Rogan Josh was good, but the HYD biryani was excellent. I've changed my mind. 5 stars to Mela!

El servicio era muy bueno. Teníamos un camarero muy agradable que era muy agradable.

Walked up to thistle town today for lunch. Found a notice on door Permanently closed.😐im not surprised everytime I have been they have run out of mayo...burger buns..coke...fries these are are most occasions

I've been going to Tinseltown Ealing since it first opened. I think I've tried everything on the menu. It was our go-to place, we loved it. Recently they decided to change the menu, so we went to try it. The new menu isn't as extensive and they've gotten rid of a lot of old favourites. The meat in the new burgers is disgusting, it tastes like cardboard. The nachos were freezing cold and had weird movie theatre cheese on it as opposed to melted cheddar cheese. I paid £1.69 extra for cheesy fries and there was hardly any cheese on it (it was the same weird cheese as the nachos). I cannot believe they changed a perfectly good menu. You were doing so well Tinseltown but you ruined it. Never coming here again! Disgusting food. Avoid!!

bad customer service . 50minutes Long wait and order missing , bill came full I told them order missing, then Red hair women said ohh sorry . They was like useless and helpless . I waste time and money . Feeling too bad .

We went this place really was so poor service and waste of time waiting over 40 minutes and then we didn't get what we ordered this was unhappy even for me and my friend I'll never try this again

Servicio al cliente muy malo y el lugar no estaba lleno! Estaba emocionado de ir, ya que no me he ido a un pueblo en años brillantes y antes tenía experiencias positivas. Esta fue la primera vez que me había ido a la sucursal de ealing. Llegamos alrededor de las 10 de la noche con mi pareja y rápidamente nos llevaron a nuestros asientos. Tuvimos inmediatamente decidido lo que nos gustaría. Luego pasó los siguientes 30 minutos tratando de conseguir la atención personal y nos dijeron dos veces "ser con usted en un poco". Después de decepción!

I came here for the first time with my 2 boys. The floor is uneven and held together with duct tape and is uneven.

floor was uneven and had duct tape attached to it! I ordered some chocolate cake dessert which were like those Christmas puddings you get from the supermarket! I wasn’t expecting that! The server was nice though!

I came here with some friends recently and was very disappointed to find that there were no vegan options. Catch up, Tinseltown. It’s 2018!

Had a woman on the phone, asked her to help me out with my order that never arrived to destination and she's been rude as. Disgusting and disappointing attitude. Hope the food won't be as despicable.

One of (too) many London restaurants that misses a unique selling point. You get exactly what you expect: A fancy named burger served in a compatible atmosphere. No more, no less.

Vine aquí con mi madre y los niños (les encanta la batidos) y lo pasamos genial. Mi hamburguesa era increíble y tenía un gran servicio desde el camarero (ismail). Ojalá me había dejado espacio para el postre porque los niños gofres parecía realmente bien. La próxima vez!

A big restaurant on the high street. Went for dinner and parking was readily available. Nice decoration, though the flooring...

I went yesterday night with my family to have some dinner. Its been a pleasure to eat here. Place was not fully packed but we got our starters with in 5 minutes. Our server Ishmael been did a great job as he cleared our table after the starter and we got the shakes what was delightful and the mains almost the same time. I went for a double beef the don burger and everything was perfect. Bun was toasted and the beef was beautifully cooked. This place is definitely worth visiting and we will be back

Pedí una hamburguesa doble chili y la porción de las hamburguesas eran pequeñas, en mi opinión, especialmente a la luz de mi expectativa de una cena americana. Para el postre, el batido pedí azúcar contenida waffle lleno en que me pareció daba asco. Hubiera sido mejor sin. El precio es demasiado alto para la baja calidad. Sé de un famoso restaurante de comida rápida, donde puede conseguir exactamente el mismo menú durante al menos la mitad de precio.

Un salto en los niños eran niños de hambre y quería un bocadillo y, sin duda, el que describe batidos antes de llegar como mejores. . . Lamentablemente a la llegada, tras ordenar algunas patatas fritas y batidos durante todo las patatas fritas bien las bebidas antes de llegar, que no es normalmente el caso en cualquier bodegón antes, a menos que se haya hecho un pedido específico para hacerlo. Uno batido llegamos pero las otras dos no tenían. . . Durante un largo tiempo. . . Espera más de un tiempo razonable me pareció restaurantes y bodegones necesita hacer un esfuerzo a hacerle saber al cliente lo que es el problema. . . . Así logran las expectativas y o hacer una compensación por el retraso. . . En este caso Szymon o miembro del equipo simon en brillantes de Ealing fue capaz de vínculo con el director para asegurarse de que un grupo no se volver insatisfecha y trajeron un batido adicional en la casa. Este gesto fue apreciado y bien en él para pensar sobre servicio al cliente. Esto nos deja con la sensación de que volveré de nuevo para el batidos. . .

He estado aquí muchas veces en que siempre me pide el tenerla encendida Cajun burger es increíble lleno de buenos lados sabor.

El restaurante peor arruinó mi noche fui allí con mi familia sólo la vergüenza para llevar a mi familia. No es la primera vez en mi cada vez que tengo un problema. Hoy yo estaba indignado de que no debe jugar con los clientes en línea. Dicho esto que Restaurante bloody no tiene patatas fritas, no tiene cosa pastel, tomó fundido 35 minutos de traer los postres. Pedimos agua 5 veces no venga mi hermana comenzó

Overrated and over priced. I went during Ramadan and they charge for dates! Being run by muslims, this is quite shameful. Food make sure you feel sick afterwards. Not impressed at all.

Ordered 2 x burgers and 2 x fries from Ealing Tinseltown through Uber Eats. The driver arrives on time and hands me a bag with "wait for it" a half drunk cup of juice and a straw. I asked what is this and he said this is your order. Half a cup of juice is my order huh!. Spoke to the manager of Tinseltown on the phone and said he would get the driver to come back with my order. 2 hours later and nothing. No answer from the restaurant and no food. You can't make this stuff up. Shocking experience

Both my girlfriend and I felt a bit sick after. Likely to the amount of oil in the food. Only silver lining is that we didn't spend much. £9.99 Wednesday wing deal.

I literally visited once, the milkshake was so disgusting honestly so nasty. I tried the burger it was so greasy and pathetic it was giving up on life.

I've been to many tinseltown branches but this was one of the worst. Waffle was tasteless and they were so stingy with covering it in Nutella sauce. Service was appealing the staff barely smile and don't even look like they want to be there. Their milkshake was ok but could have been better. Maybe it was a bad day so I would attend again just to see but judging by the reviews on this place it is not the place to go

There was literally 2 people walking around, one didn't know what he was saying or doing! Asked for a chicken burger, got a lamb burger. By the time I'd finished the rest of my food, my burger lands on the table! Milkshake was nice but didn't make up for the service unfortunately.

A catalogue of disasters.First i had a long wait just to order at the till.Then the food came - honestly the burgers were terrible. never tasted a burger as bad. everyone on the table had the same experience. chips looked and tasted asda price quality.Then to top it off , at home with upset stomach and spent some time releasing in the toilet!Avoid this branch like the plague.

The staff here just don't care in the slightest. The quality of the food is ok, in comparison to other tinseltown branches it is weak. We came here on Tues 27th Dec 2016 at 3pm, well after the lunch hour rush (there were about 3 other occupied tables). We had to go up and order at the front desk, where there was one person taking orders. He got quite confused when taking the order and wasnt able to tell the difference between various sauces. The food came out at different times. They forgot to bring out some of the items and we had to speak to 3 different people to get the remaining of our food. Overall I would not recommend and would not visit again. There are better restaurants nearby that sell similar food.

Fancied eating out in ealing, and was convinced to try the ealing tinseltown branch.Upon walking in we were put off by the bright green yellow colours and lacking empty atmosphere. The waiter seating us didn't want to be there.I ordered a basic beef burger and mash. The beefburger was painful to eat and so I left it. The meat tasted of something lower value than McDonald's and a few levels lower than Burger king. The large tomatoe slices had no taste to them. The burger sauce was nice, but too little, although accompanied by sauce of choice, the garlic mayo I'd chosen didn't have the expected amount of garlic. The sesame seed bun was dry/old tasting, the brioche bun my partner had looked a better choice and was not dry.The mash tasted out of a box so I didn't bother with that either.The peanut brownie VIP shake started well, looked good, cream etc good, peanut nice. I didn't get chocolate or Brownie flavouring or Brownie pieces, the bottom part didn't taste great and made my tummy hurt.My partners fries were delicious. Crispy, and tasty. There was no table service too.I wouldn't say it is a bad chain, but I'd not recommend nor revisit this branch.

The food was not to my expectations and it also had a very funny taste to it. The icecream came like milk and when i asked to change it they gave me a very funny look. The steak was also not well done and my belly is also not feeling right at all. Definitely wont be going again and i dont recommend to anyone to go this branch of tinseltown
