The veggie kitfo and misir wot were great. Flavourful and not too spicy. Be sure to try out the honey wine. Mela mule had very... fresh ginger. Also try out their shakshuka for brunch if you can. Service is very warm. Read more

The dinner experience for the first time at Mela was amazing! The chickpea gravy (Shiro Wot) was very flavorful and delicious.... It was a great additional sauce on the top of veggie platter. The restaurant is very clean and well decorated. Can?t wait to trydifferent dishes next time! Read more

This place is so good. I?ve been searching for seafood dishes and found fish and shrimp. The mushroom kitfo was also to die for.... I wish this place was closer to me, I?d be here all the time. The vibe inside is really nice, love the lighting and decor. Service is a little slow so come here ready to take your time and enjoy your company! I can?t wait to come back. Read more
