    We had a lovely experience! It was rushed because we had tickets for an event and messed up our timing. Although no fault of the staffs, they were kind and understanding when we had to leave immediately after eating. Our food was insanely good….so so so good. I wish I had ordered more scallops. My husband was blown away with the swordfish. Absolutely top 10 meals of our lifetime. We will be back! Asheville and WNC still need us. We are thankful to come and support this beautiful place!

    Attentive staff and great food, who can ask for more. When we come to Asheville, Mehfil is our go to restaurant both for Indian food and a great meal. Have never been disappointed. If you ask my kids, we go for the Biryani plus the variety of Saagwala, Korma, Naan, etc. Thank you again for another great meal.
