About Mela @ Herne Hill - Formerly 3 Monkeys
A jewel in the crown of SE London is the Mela @ Herne Hill Indian restaurant. Not a sign of flock wallpaper in sight, the decor is light and airy and the cooking highly regarded. Expect the best of regional Indian cuisine prepared in one of the oldest traditions of cooking, including the tandoori oven, sigri and kadai grill. There is a dramatic show kitchen with chefs on view preparing special dishes. 'Time Out' finalist for 'Best Local Restaurant 1999' - richly deserved. What's cooking? Chaamp Taazdaar - an ineffably aromatic and succulent rack of lamb braised
slowly in a perfectly balanced liquor with an infusion of cloves, cardamom and pathar ke phool, Allepey Seafood Curry - A variety of seafood stewed in coconut milk with shredded ginger, soured with raw mango and for vegetarians - Baadal Jaam - Slices of aubergine ‘dummed’ tender with a topping of spicy tomato chutney and crowned with a dollop of garlic flavoured yoghurt.
Opening hours:
Lunch Mon - Sun 12pm - 2:30pmDinner Mon - Sat 6pm - 11pmSun 6pm - 10:30pmOpen Bank Holidays.

Second time I've been to the 3 monkeys, the food has been excellent both times. We were in a large group so the service was a little slow and they got a few drinks orders wrong, but the nstaff and friendly and the atmosphere good.

I was a bit disappointed with 3 Monkeys as it wa very mediocre - not bad, just not good. OK to go to if you're hungry and just need to get some dinner, but don't bother if you want to treat yourself.Review
The 3 monkeys is a great place to dine with friends and family with good portion sizes.Visitors
