For the kind of person who plays with fire, knowing they might get burnt.
Great food, dodgy kitchen. You know the risks. Pack Imodium and pray.
Mela Restaurant is a culinary gamble that feels like a love letter to spice lovers, despite its hygiene score that screams 'caution'. The food, according to fans, is a glorious symphony of flavors. Lorraine and Paul rave about the no-frills charm and BYOB policy, making it a regular spot for frugal foodies. But beware: the culinary roulette also includes the infamous chicken tikka vindaloo, which, for some, was more of a ghost than a meal—no smell, no taste, just regret.
If you fancy a cheap meal that could either impress or leave you questioning your life choices, Mela is your place. Just make sure you've got a strong constitution, as the mixed reviews on service and food quality are like a spicy curry—some love the heat, while others are left crying into their naan. 🔥
