Mela

Head to Mela and you'll find yourself in a straightforward, no-frills Indian restaurant that's been pulling in the crowds near the town centre. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing—they're not trying to reinvent the wheel, just cook proper curries that actually taste like something. You get the sense the owners care about doing the basics brilliantly: decent naans, curries with actual depth, and service that feels genuinely welcoming rather than rushed. It's the sort of place locals keep coming back to because the food's reliable and honest, prices won't leave your wallet weeping, and there's none of that pretentious bollocks you sometimes get elsewhere.
