I love all things Tandoori, Vindaloo or any meats swimming in Curry. Mela offers these fine dishes and of course the traditional paneer veges and my fave, Alu Gobhi (cauliflower & potatoes). 9 types of Fresh warm tandoori breads are also available as well as Chat Papri and Samosa. Try the tasty Garlic Shrimps! I always order the Masala Iced Tea. Mela offers great daily lunch specials under $10.00. Metered parking on the streets but there's also a pay parking lot around the corner. Atmosphere is pretty, festive and clean. Service has always been good. Prices are reasonable. BYOB.

I'm always on the lookout for a good Indian restaurant. This may sound weird but it really isn't since my parents were from India and Indian cusine has been a staple in my household. That's fine I totally appreciate Mela Indian Cusine in Ridgewood, NJ.
Because of my familiarity with Indian cusine, I know what tastes good and what's not right, at least I would like to think so. This has also helped when ordering food since I know exactly what I want. The speciality of this place is Tandoori, and it would be a crime to walk out of the restaurant without sampling one of the finer tastes of India. The portions may look small to you but believe me, they are more than satisfactory. The food is very rich and I can't imagine eating huge portions at all.
The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing, especially with sitar music playing in the background. This particular place once played host to Ravi Shankar, the most famous sitarist in India. If you can't sit doen for a meal, they are very happy to accomodate you to pick up your food.
The lunch is spectacular with an all-you-can eat buffett served everyday. The selections are plentiful and very filling.
I can't get enough of Mela and always have a craving to go back whenever I need an Indian food fix.
PROS: Great food and atmosphere
CONS: Parking in Ridgewood can be a hassle
