"This resto has few reviews, so isn 't far up on TA 's list. However, all but one of the reviews are glowing, as is mine. The cuisine here was neither average nor standard Stand Out would be a more apt description. The menu is diverse. Although many of the dishes listed are familiar, the spicing of those I had was subtly different and distinct, and the freshness of the ingredients and their individual preparation was apparent. No hint of mass production here. Vegetables were crisp and tender, and the vegetarian offerings were plentiful. Service was excellent (Deutsch/Englisch egal), prompt and very welcoming. The single negative review listed is not a review of the restaurant or it 's food quality, and should be discounted. It is an ideological rant, brought on by the reviewer 's reaction to a perhaps uninformed waitress who was, herself, probably unaware of the diversity of regional cuisines in India. The reviewer says he didn 't even go in! Mela is definitely worth a visit. And if you 're a resident or longer term visitor, it 's worth several!"
