"Firstly, thank you for those great reviews that led us to trying this restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to go as an extended family for my partner’s birthday but have been so disappointed in the food in the many places we’ve been, decided to go as a couple to try it out. I felt positive on entering the Ashoka the smiling welcome, the lighting, the interior which was large enough to accommodate a variety of group sizes but still cozy. The food was amazing. That mix of containers you get with papadams was the usual but unusual in that they tasted so good I asked to keep them to eat with my main meal. I ordered 3 side dishes to eat (ordered as side dishes, not main) and, my partner, chicken biryani and a keema naan. I’m vegetarian so ordered my favourite dishes. The word that kept coming to mind as I ate was fresh. The ingredients tasted so fresh. My partner struggled to eat all his meal and had to leave a bit and I asked for my leftovers to be put in containers and am eating now (following day). Still as delicious. Thanks you Ashoka for such good food and a lovely evening. Oh, by the way, you bring your own booze which, for me, is a bonus."
