4 years agoSolidly good food with plenty of injera to go with. Would happily get food here again. We had both the vegetable platter and the beef tibs. Highly recommend the veggies.

Edited 4 years agoI am currently sitting outside of Mela as I write this review. I placed a pickup order online for lunch. I check the website and google site before I place the order to be sure they were opened. I pull up to the restaurant and the restaurant is closed! Although it said open on the website and google! I was charged $48 and I have no food! I’m very upset because I left my 5month old baby home with her father to come here for convenience and because their food is good.. Now I am hungry and having to go back and forth with my bank to get my $48 back! Please change your times if you’re not going to be open! —— Reply: The website said “opened” and I wasn’t the only person that was outside of your restaurant another customer who also came because it said opened. Please refund me my phone!

4 years agoMela’s provides an exceptional dining experience for anyone to enjoy authentic Ethiopian Cuisine. We had the Sambusa, Chicken and Fish Tibs with half platter of veggies and it was delicious. We were so ready to dig in that I forgot to take photos of the beautifully plated food. You won’t be disappointed.

5 years agoAuthentic Ethiopian food and this is a must recommendation if you are ever in the Decatur area. For sure to try Vegetarian & Vegan all of them. I am not gone go into details but check the place out. BN

5 years agoSuch a beautiful upscale Ethiopian restaurant that serves traditional Ethiopian food!! The Mela special is a must! This hidden gem of a restaurant is tucked away quietly in North Decatur, but definitely deserves more recognition.

6 years agoGreat new Ethiopian spot. The staff is very friendly. There are plenty of choices on the menu, the prices are fair and the food is very tasty. Will be going back.

6 years agoOrdered the Mela Special and Veggie Combo and OMG! First, the food presentation was so nice. Then the taste was amazing. The Kitfo Leb Leb was very good and the Beef Tibs was on point. Veggies were cooked very well. Service was excellent. Our waitress kept coming back to our table asking how things were and made sure we always had enough injera. This place is really an experience to enjoy from the Ethiopian food, the Ethiopian artwork and even the coffee ceremony (which we’re doing next time!). Plenty of free parking available! Something I always look for.

6 years agoQuality food at a fair price! Hilina’s service went above and beyond my expectations. Even though I have been to a couple of other Ethiopian restaurants, this is the first time I learnt the traditional way of eating the food. The ambience is also very clean and pretty. Would come back and recommend others to come.
