Abtesam Khan (Shaheen)
OWNER AND CHEF
Shaheen started cooking after becoming mom of twin boys who always liked her food. The boys inspired her to start a business of her own where she can just cook the way she has been cooking for them. And that is exactly what she has been doing with mela's cuisine. She would not serve anything to a customer if she can't think of serving it to her sons. ​

Mela is providing a great variety of heart-healthy meal option for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian customers. In fact, the cover photo showing Chat salad does not have any added fat content. Similarly, in the Biryani recipe, mela is preparing everything from scratch including the spices.
