Nestled in the heart of downtown Asheville, decorated with carvings, and statues imported from India. Mëhfil brings you authentic Indian food in a beautifully relaxed atmosphere.
Come enjoy a casual meal with friends or a celebration with your loved ones. Either way, you'll be taken care of by our knowledgeable and friendly team. We take pride in what we serve and how we serve it - Good Food and Great Service. We also offer takeout, delivery, catering and in Jul 2023 we have added Mow, Mehfil on Wheels, a food truck serving Mehfil food. Mow is a regular at the local breweries and can even come in to your neighborhood. Our signature dishes include the lamb chops, goat curry, deluxe mixed grill-an assortment of lamb and chicken seekh kebab, tandoori shrimp and lamb chops. No one does the tandoor as good us and our awards are testimony to that.

    The service was not five stars only because the kitchen got very backed up, which was totally understandable since it was one of the only restaurants open on Christmas Day. I'm sure it would've been five stars all the way otherwise.  I'm very thankful the restaurant was open on this holiday

    We made reservations for early Christmas dinner. It was incredible. The service, the ambiance, but especially the food. We love Indian food, and this was some of the best we've ever had. Thank you for being open!

    Some very interesting pieces hung on the walls. A few tables closer to the front of the restaurant had table cloths and we re set with flatware and glasses. We were taken to the back of the restaurant where the tables were bare, no cloths no settings. Just not welcoming. Servicewasabit slow,perhaps they were short stsffed. The server was delightful. Food was very good. If all you took from the review was seating area you don’t understand service!

    Hi Kevin, thanks for dining with us and thanks for leaving us a review. We apologize that you were seated towards the back of the restaurant and did not like the ambience. We will do better next time and sincerely hope you will give us another chance.
