  My coworker and I tried this place for lunch. The food was delicious, and the lunch deals were great. Although the place was empty, the food and service were both good. At first, when you walk in, there’s a strong smell, I guess from the spices and the place felt a little dusty.

  A friend and I decided to grab an impromptu bite to eat Wednesday and stumbled upon Ashoka since our initial choice was way too packed and we were some hangry ladies!! I had not been to Ashoka in quite sometime...over 13yrs. It has definitely had a glow up. Their server made us feel at home and answered all our questions. The food and atmosphere was great. Will definitely be coming back.

  This a great Indian restaurant down south, we had their Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani which was very authentic the papri chaat and chicken Manchurian were great as well. The restaurant is very clean and the service is on point and the servers are very friendly. Our server Venky was very courteous and helpful, he even went out of his way to make us masala chai! I would highly recommend this restaurant

  I’ve been here a few times, and every visit reminds me why this place is such a local gem. The food is consistently authentic and flavorful—our go-to dishes are the chicken korma and chicken xacuti, both absolutely delicious. The homemade naan and Indian tea are also a must-try. What really stood out to me this time, though, was the service. Even when they were clearly short-staffed, the experience never felt chaotic. I was genuinely impressed watching one person manage the front—handling customers, running food, and keeping things moving smoothly. That level of effort and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. The manager is always warm and professional, and it’s clear he truly cares about both the customers and the restaurant. You can tell this place is loved by the community—seeing so many Indian families dining here says a lot about the authenticity. I do hope they’re able to bring in more staff to support the team, because they absolutely deserve it. Even so, they continue to deliver great food and service under pressure. Highly recommend. — Joshua

  I very rarely write reviews, but after my visit on April 18th, I felt it was important to share my experience. I visited with my family (party of 5) for a 7:30 PM reservation. We did not leave until 9:45 PM, and unfortunately, the two-plus hours we spent there was a complete breakdown in service and hospitality. The service was non-existent. We sat at a table with no silverware, napkins, or plates for the duration of our stay. It took roughly 45 minutes just to receive menus, and another 15 minutes before our order was even taken. By that point, we still had not been offered water or drinks. The issues continued when the food arrived: • Incomplete Order: We received our entrees, but all of our appetizers were missing. • Service Gaps: For the next 60 minutes, we repeatedly asked for the missing appetizers and water. Eventually, water was brought to the table, but without any glasses to drink from. The appetizers never arrived. • Food Quality: The entrees that did arrive were mediocre and didn't meet the standard of other local options. This was the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We wanted to support a local business, but to spend over two hours without receiving basic essentials like water glasses or the appetizers we ordered is unacceptable. I don’t see myself returning.
