Quality food around $16 on weekdays after tax. Loved server’s honesty when I ask him for a chai to go from the menu. He said, “we don’t have the to go cup the form cup we have melts”. He could’ve easily used the foam cup and had me drink melted plastic but he chose to be honest, loved it! Would come here again.

What a place to have your lunch or dinner. Amazing upscale Indian restaurant located on Main street of Asheville in downtown. Very well decorated in Gujarati style. Enjoy the view while having food if you are lucky to get a table near the window. Top class food. I ordered Chilli Chicken, Chicken Mehfil which is their specialty dish and Garlic Naan. They served a big Rice bowl with Main entree.The taste was perfect. The spicyness was like I wanted. Service was also good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Of course 5 out 5 rating from me. The only issue is the parking as the road is always busy.

Another Stop on the High Roller Food Tour, and it was really excellent. I love Indian food, and Mehfi stands out. I don’t remember what the drink was called, but it was tasty and refreshing. The staff and owner were very gracious and deservedly proud of what they serve.

Mehfil is a great upscale Indian restaurant at the Main Street of Asheville downtown. Spacious seating and great environment. Food was tasty. We ordered malai kofta, veggie tikka masala, lamb, garlic naan, aloo paratha, raita and gulab jamun. Veggie tikka masala, lamb and aloo paratha were our favorites. Service was good as well. Serving size was good. We paid around $160 for our food which was a little at the higher side; but overall experience made it worth.

Mehfil specializes Indian Cuisine. It was a stop on our Eating Asheville High Roller Food Tour. They serve a buffet each day. On our visit the Chef provided a mini buffet for us to sample a variety of Indian specialities. Additionally, the Chef visited with us as we dined. He shared the importance of preparing Indian food, spices, and more. They have a restaurant next door that is a Pick up and go type while this restuarant is more traditional for eating in and for their buffet. He was also excited that they now have a Food Truck. Very tasty – spicey samplings.

We had this on our list of places to go when visiting Asheville last fall and it did not disappoint! I’m not a huge fan of spicy food so I was apprehensive but everything was delicious. I got chicken tikka masala and it was so yummy. We had several types of naan – all were great. Had wonderful service and the overall atmosphere in the restaurant was great! Will come again when in the area! My dining companions who like spice said the spice levels were as described and well done.

If you have ever had authentic Indian food, made from someone who was born and raised in India you know it is to find those flavors. Mehfil does that and more. Their traditional service is delightful, I for one love feeling fancy, white table cloth, small dishes for each part of the meal, not already sweetened Chai. Heaven.

If you are looking for true Indian cuisine this is your spot. The minute you walk in the aroma tells you it is going to be a delicious meal. We ordered a pink lotus and chalte-chalte to peruse the menu.
