December 2023, i came to California from Chicago with my friends in order to celebrate New Year in Big Bear. We rented cabin there and needed good grocery store.We found this grocery store and were so lucky. Price and quality were very good for us. Owner provided us lamb, beef and liver, so we could cook traditional kazakh cousin. Meat was on a superior level as well as service. In addition to that, owner recommended good spices to us. 10/10!

The new owner and his team are very nice & friendly. He has fresh young goat meat available daily and beef as well. Has his own butchery to cut as well. The butcher is very professional, I bought fish and goat meat and they were cut and clean very professionally, I have come across only a few who are able to do such a clean work. Also carries all sorts of fish from the Indian Subcontinent like Rohu, Katla, Coral, Hilsa that his team will clean and cut into steaks without any extra charge. Just call him and order the fish and go pick up. Also he carries a line of other small fishes like Gutum, Molla Black, Darsha Putti, Chapla, Sagor Puna, Koi, Balla, Bata, Lotia, Keski, Meni fish. Alongwith that he carries shrimp as well.Also his Shami kebab whether Beef/Chicken are very delicious and no one sells shami kebab in SOCAL at the store except him. His Beef/chicken biryani is also very delicious.He carries various rice like basmati, sona masoori, kaljeera and many more.His prices are also very reasonable whether for cooked food or raw meat/fish/chicken.I love this place which i found recently and I will be a regular customer for fish, goat meat and shami kebab.They will cook chicken/beef/goat meat for you at an additional cost of $10 if you buy from them, they use fresh spices to cook them and not the packed ones.I bought goat liver last week and it came out to be very good. The goat meat was of excellent quality, fresh young goat and clean not like the old regular frozen ones that other stores sell. They will even mince the meat for you whether beef/goat.I bought 5 small young chicken over the weekend and it came out to be very tasty when I made Indian curry out of it. It was properly cleaned and professionally cut and washed as well.They also have huge 10 lbs or more Mirgal and swai fish. All the fishes that they keep are freshly frozen and are fresh water fish and not salt water ocean fish.I have stopped buying fish, chicken, goat, beef from other regular stores like trader joes, ralphs, sprouts etc. I go to Mela Halal Meat and Grocery Store because of their high quality meat, chicken and fish.Last weekend I bought a 12lbs Katla fish, cleaned and cut in steak size. It really came out to tasty. I cooked in the curry style but one can marinate it with spices and then either fry it in oil or grill it. Previously, I tried the the 12lbs Mirgal, then Rohu, and finally Coral fish as well which also came out excellent.I like this store very much and really appreciate the new owner and his team on the wonderful work they are doing for bringing such a high quality food to the locals here in CA.I wish him the Very Best!

I discovered this little market while trying to learn to cook some Indian dishes. The owner was very kind and helped me find what I needed. Ive gone back and tried the beef biryani and samosas and they were delicious. Definitely recommend.

Mela is a great Halal meat market. They also do catering. Recently the catered for my daughter’s birthday party for about 200 people. The service and the food was amazing and freshly cooked. If you want to taste authentic BANGLADESHi food choose Mela for your next party.
