Mela - Aylesbury Vale

On Wednesday 8th November 2023, six gentlemen dined at Mela restaurant in Aylesbury. Having visited multiple curry houses in the area over the past year, we can confidently say that Mela is among the top establishments. The service was fantastic, the food was excellent, and we were even treated to a complimentary drink at the end, all at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Mela and look forward to returning soon.

Delicious meal, such a lovely place to eat amazing food. Thanks Ash and the team. I had lamb pathia which had so much lovely flavour and Ash’s special starter was really special. We are very lucky to have such a brilliant restaurant in our village.

I had not been to Mela before, and what an absolute delight! This is the best Indian restaurant in and around Aylesbury by far! Its tucked away in Aston Clinton but absolutely worth the drive there there is a good amount of parking, and its free too! The restaurant when inside, is really nicely decorated, with a great water feature on the floor (check it out near reception). they took our coats and put them on a hanger which was nice too! Plus they knew my name and welcomed us all when we arrived which was really nice! The team are really lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable on their dishes. they have a vast menu and lots of it is customisable, which is great. They do mango lassi which is yummy! All of the food is wonderfully presented and not once did my family feel rushed to finish which you can feel in many restaurants nowadays. I took their advice on dishes as I was spoilt for choice! The quality of the food is just wonderful, I love Indian food, and this by far is the best food I have ever had (aside from my own mum and dad's cooking) and I will definitely be back here. I cannot recommend here enough! The food is cooked really nice and has great portions and it is really well presented as well! They also had great service and did not clear plates before everyone finished (which is a pet hate of my own) so you don't feel rushed. I really, really rate here and recommend everyone should go here. I should have come here a long time ago I would not have bothered with any others!

This is by far the best Indian Restaurant I know. The food is consistently amazing and the atmosphere and service 1st Class. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I had forgotten how delicious the food is at this restaurant. Last night, six of us dined here and everyone loved their meals. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit or getting takeaway.
