Our Story

Mela started from a simple observation: the best food recommendations don't come from algorithms or ads. They come from people you trust.

We watched food creators build communities around their favorite neighborhood spots. We saw restaurants struggle to connect with customers who'd actually appreciate what they do. And we realized there was a better way to bring them together.

The word "mela" means festival—a celebration of community, culture, and connection. That's exactly what we're building: a space where food lovers, creators, and local restaurants can come together in meaningful ways.

No gimmicks. No complicated platforms. Just real people, real places, and real experiences that bring neighborhoods to life.

This is more than discovering restaurants. It's about rediscovering your neighborhood, one spot at a time.
