★★★★☆ 4.0 Big Eater · Feb 2026

I went for the weekday lunch buffet and the service was good. However, the food wasn’t hot and there wasn’t much variety. For example there were no samosa and rolls. The restaurant has potential, but it needs some improvements to be better. Thank you!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Hritik · Dec 2024

Mela Modern Indian Cuisine is undoubtedly one of the finest Indian Cuisine restaurants in Boston. I tried the buffet and was impressed with the taste and the options offered. I especially like the hospitality of the staff which I felt was friendly and courteous. The space crunch is indeed a setback which could be improved with a little tweak in the furniture. Food was delicious and could have been better but so far it is one of the best Paneer I have tasted. The owner was good and allowed to stay for long. I would recommend making a reservation for dine in which would surely save you an hour or two.

Early weekend dinner for a party of 4 plus a fur kid. Quickly found a patio seating and started with non veggie platter of roast chicken, samosa, minced lamb, and battered chix nuggets. Then enjoyed shared plates of lamb korma, vindaloo, tofu curry and chicken masala with steamed basmati rice and hot garlc butter naan. Spice level of medium was just right and each serving was delicious and not greasy. Mango lassi and pistachio smoothie were refreshing. Service was attentive and prompt. Had a great get together dinner.

Met some friends here for the weekend lunch buffet, and we all enjoyed it! I have a dairy allergy, so they walked me through the buffet to let me know my options. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive. It was a good deal too!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Daman Anand · Aug 2025

Horrible food for prices that they keep increasing every single week. staff is rude and wants to take your plate every five minutes even if you’re not done eating the service takes forever and the food becomes rock hard and is not fresh. does not do justice to Indian food
