Mela Tandoori Kitchen - San Andreas

My wife and I have been attending concerts in the Civic Center area for years, and hadn't seen the restaurant until last June.

They're fineI've had better, I've had worseNothing about the place particularly stands out The fish was good, the chicken not so much.

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. The food was so good I want to go back already. However, here are the things holding it back from 5 stars. 1)...

I've been a fan of Mela Tandoori since its previous location in the Tenderloin. My friends and I enjoy the wide variety of choices, the quantity and quality of the food, and the great service. Its location within walking distance of Civic Center performance venues is also a plus. Parking along Golden Gate Avenue east of Van Ness Avenue has never been an issue for me. Mela is a great choice for delicious and healthy Indian cuisine!

We are locals. We are Punjabi. We came here Friday and Saturday. Dinner. Two nights in a row. That speaks for itself.
