Our daughter has just moved to Sheffield so we aren’t familiar with the restaurants in the city, the Ashoka came up on a Time Out recommended list so we decided to give it a try and we weren’t disappointed. The menu is interesting and not your average run of the mill offerings. Food was delicious and portions were ample for us. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive, the restaurant isn’t that big so glad we made a reservation.
We were in Sheffield as a pit stop on the way back to London from Scotland. Did not have a reservation but they accommodated us so that was nice. Was not busy when we started but was getting busy as the evening progressed. Now to the food. It was probably the worst Indian food I have had in the entire trip to the UK. The poppadums smelled of used oil. The saag paneer was not minced and we could see only whole stems. The taste was terrible too. Muttar paneer was ok and so was the chole puri. Chapati was like rubber. The service was mixed, good at the beginning but kind of haughty when we ordered an extra poori. One caveat. We are Indian origin and from the US. Maybe the dishes were catering to the local palette.
large small Indian restorer, reasonable price, faster and friendly service. you can't get out either.
Ashoka had a wonderful colonial feel about it and it felt like we were eating in the 1950/60s. The menu also offered a very interesting variety of choices not seen in other Indian restaurants. My Keralan Coconut Curry was excellent and full of flavour and spice. My sons were also very impressed with their curry choices. Prices were very reasonable. Our server (possibly the owner) was quirky and made it quite clear he didn't want to know any football scores (he was watching it later on TV). As we were jubilant Palace fans we did our best to supress our joy! However for us it was double success great result and great food!
Lovely little local restaurant with buzzing ambience and very friendly excellent service . Food was generally good but I wouldn’t say outstanding or out of the ordinary . Would definitely come back again .
Great food. Will cook to your specifications. Lovely staff. Free drinks for the children. Definitely recommend. Great finishing touches.
Picture the scene. A wet Wednesday night, two old friends catching up, a few pints down. Time for a curry. Boasting one of the more evolved and modern curry house menus I 've seen, Ashoka certainly creates some anticipation as to what 's about to grace the table. At the back of the restaurant is a black board with some restaurant rules no smoking, no outside food, no swearing etc... Felt a little like school. First up poppadoms off to a flier. Not greasy and crisp served with good version of the usual suspect accompaniments. We shared the chicken liver puri. Never seem chicken liver on an Indian menu before. To be fair the curry sauce in the puri softened the crisp shell which didn 't work and the spices over powered the liver flavour. For the main event we had a vegetable curry with trademarked caramelized onions (still no sure if that 's a real trademark or if it 's tongue in cheek). Very nice. A solid chicken curry came with it. The spinach dahl lacked lentils but tasted good. Over ordered on the carbs (so easily done) and struggled to finish the rice, naan, and roti. But got there somehow. Beer selection was good and pricing of everything fair. The refilling of the water glasses on our table was either world class or boarder line disruptive possibly both. I made the school boy error of asking if they did desserts. I was told, that despite a fellow diner asking the same thing just moments before that they categorically don 't. Felt a bit strong as a response to a question from a diner attempting to give them, you know, more business. So I quipped back, 'perhaps if two customers have asked the same question in ten minutes there 's demand and this should be considered '. Was reliably informed that no one else would ask for ten days after I had asked. Doesn 't matter. We got extra chocolates with the bill (which was all laughed together at) and those towels you pour hot water on and they expand 5x bigger. Who doesn 't like those? Overall a great dinner, world class water service and a genuinely innovative modern curry offering. Much to like. Just don 't ask for a pudding. Maybe that should go on the black board?
I brought 10 colleagues to Ashoka for their first visit. Having been numerous times in the past. I might have hyped the place up a bit as I love it it there. As expected its didn't disappoint. Everyone had a fabulous evening and could not speak highly enough of the food we ordered and the service we received. A colleague from London thought it was the best curry he's had in the UK which is an impressive accolade from a foody. Rest assured we will be back with clients and colleagues in the very near future. Many thanks.
