Mela Tandoori Kitchen - San Andreas

Yelp Google helped me find a true gem in SF. Food, ambiance service were outstanding, delicious rich flavors, learned about butter parantha, like a Naan croissant, and Kashmiri Chai, highly recommended!

The ambiance was good we can feel the punjabi/indian atmospheres. The appetizers especially samosa bites was good. Overall a nice Indian restaurant.

Truly authentic Indian cuisine serving Halal/Zabihah meat in a homey setting. Their food was absolutely delicious, specifically the Chicken Tikka Masala. Also make sure to order some fresh Naan, rice, and try their Lassi: a traditional yogurt blended smoothie-like delight. The peach Lassi is our favorite! However, expect to spend 1-2 hours here (during dinner hours) as the kitchen is a bit slow preparing your fresh meal and the service is extremely slow. Our server visited us once in the 40 minutes we sat down at our table and that was just to take our order. They had food runners who brought us water and part of our food, but we had to flag our waitress down for the second half of our food. (Saturday 8:30pm) Others have also noticed this poor service during dinner time (even with a reservation) so I would recommend visiting on a weeknight or early on the weekend, around 6 pm for an authentic Indian experience!

I really enjoyed the food : but they don’t Greet the diners the minute they walk in the door, I was waiting for more than 10 mins for a table and I was thirsty, I asked them for water but they didn’t bring it :

Amazing food and service! By far my favourite spot to eat when it comes to desi food in the City. Especially love the chicken tikka fried they have (pictured below). Love bringing friends here whenever I can. Should be a must for anyone visiting the city!
