Ordered chiken Biriyani. I thought it was kind of bland. Great atmosphere and service though. Place looks busy and I had to wait 5-10mins on a weekend to get a table. But food wasn't that impressive

I’ve eaten here a few times and never been disappointed. I normally go for the lamb curry. The food is always fresh and very tasty. One thing you’ll notice is there’s no salt and pepper on the table because there’s no need for it. If you love Indian food, this is definitely a must try Restaurant.

I don't love this type of food so that's on me. I didn't like the pasta but loved the cheddar jack naan and chocolate milkshake and the chai was the best I've ever had. Loved the atmosphere and it smelled so good inside!

Absolutely love this place! The food tastes just like home-cooked Indian meals—fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared and rich in traditional spices. The ambiance is sophisticated yet welcoming, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Indian cuisine in a refined setting!

We wanted something besides just veg-so we decided to try Ashoka-The front staff seated us immediately. Our sever-Rishi is simply fantastic. He knows the menu well & really engaged with us. The rest of the staff are truly top notch. The tandoori chicken was done to perfection & came out sizzling. Roti & aloo gobi made a nice paring. The pistachio kulfi was delicious. We’re definitely going back soon. They do have an amazing selection as well.

We had a great meal. We would order again all of the dishes we tried: Vegetable Korma, Aloo Saag, and the Mixed Tandoori Grill. We ordered mild curry which was tasty and did not overwhelm the flavors, but you can order hotter. The Vegetable Samosas were perfectly cooked with firm crust and soft interior. Portions were large enough for leftovers. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food arrived quickly, within 15 minutes. This place is a winner!

So yummy!! We can for late lunch on a Tuesday and there was no wait. The eggplant dish was surprisingly complex and delicious. Everything was great and it was affordable. Service was great!

I love the food here. There hasn't been a dish I've gotten here that I didn't like. The servers are so great never gotten my order wrong, so clean and presentable, quick to seat you, quick to get food out. Always recommend to anyone that wants indian food. On the pricier side but honestly worth it. Only thing is that the tables aren't level/fixed so I get anxious sliding out of the booth that I'll lean on the table to much and either spill something.
