Reviews of Ashoka South Side

T. A.

Last minute reservation for 4. Arrived early and still welcomed and seated quickly. Great selection of food, we had the deli chicken & chicken pakora to start with. For main courses we went for the South Indian Chilli Chicken and the traditional korma. The kids had the kids Korma and rice. Going for the VIP kids meal they had a fruit shoot and animal themed ice cream. Brilliant and tasty food (apologies food was gone before we took pictures!) Very friendly staff and amazingly tasty food well worth 5 out of 5 stars ! If your in the south side give it a try, brilliant Indian styled meals !

A FANTASTIC Indian meal. We had the 7-course tasting menu, papadums and dips, fresh garlic naan, Cobra beer and Rioja Crianza red wine. Top class service. All staff looked after us very well. Raj has top (sometimes questionable) patter! Great value. Highly recommend.

Visited last night after a 6 months gap since our last visit and the quality of the 7 course Taster was as good as before which was excellent. All food served hot and promptly. Taster just the right amount of each - I got an extra peshweri nan. Only wee problem was the the poppodam only had spicy onions dip and not the usual selection. We would gladly recommend all to visit the place.

Just had the most lovely 7 plate tasting menu at the Ashoka South Side Glasgow. The dishes were tasty & the care attention relating to service was superb! Will be back & would highly recommend!

S. O.

First class ,friendly service Food delicious. We ordered 7 curries, each one had an individual flavour very high quality. Chicken and lamb melted in your mouth. Best Indian meal we have had in Glasgow Can’t wait to return

C. M.

Loved it! Tasty food and welcoming and friendly staff. We came with a voucher we got for Xmas and will definitely come back for the full menu!

E. G.

Website is difficult to navigate. Ordered a meal for two and what I got was not what I ordered. Payment on the site was flawed so had to pay in store. Food is okay but would phone and order next time we online ordering is so poor.

First order after a long time. I'm impressed with the vegan menu. Everything was delicious! 10/10 would recommend.

Great tasty , sometimes unusual food. Fantastic service in lovely surroundings in a convenient location.

D. W.

Done the taster menu through wowcher, was very impressed with the standard of food, server was excellent and I'll definitely be back in the future, couldn't fault anything.

A. B.

Really tasty Vegan options, served by first rate staff. We loved our experience here.

Y. R.

Travelled from Ayrshire & sampled the 7 course tasting menu which had something different from the 'normal' choices on offer. Great selection of super tasty food (a great way to try new dishes), lovely atmosphere & attentive staff.- need to give a special mention to Raj for his personal touch. Worth a visit.

A. K.

Food is just amazing. Highly recommend in south side. Vegan chole/chick peas is nice

E. M.

Very nice meal here, service was excellent and the staff very polite and efficient. Lovely clean restaurant, tables set nicely. The only thing wrong was my dessert, I got the brownie with ice cream, (you pay extra for ice cream), the actual brownie was tiny.... It cost £3.99 on it`s own then £1.00 extra for ice cream. If they had came with the brownie on it's own I would have refused it as it isn't worth the money. All the food was however delicious, but dessert price spoiled the meal.

A.

Brilliant meal... Chasni and Butter Chicken. Both delicious, hot and plentiful!

J. W.

Really enjoyed food choices Big xhoice of dishes Staff explained the different types Tried lots of different dishes loved them all Staff very helpful & patient as we where unsure about some of the dishes Highly recommend anyone to give it a visit

WOW a restaurant that understands hospitality and service. Raj was a fantastic host that made us feel welcome and at home. We had the 7 course taster that was simply amazing. The whole team we're awesome. Well done Ashoka Southside!!! A new customer you have.

G. C.

Fantastic experience on Saturday. Food was absolutely outstanding. Lovely gentleman brought out a yummy fudge cake with a candle as a surprise for mine & hubby's birthday. Can't wait to return again soon. 🥰

F. C.

Went for dinner tonight for the 7 course taster menu and it was superb. Lovely atmosphere, incredibly friendly and good service and most importantly the food was delicious. Left feeling nicely stuffed and will definitely be back.

M. B.

One of the most authentic Indian meals I have ever had outside of India. The Desi chana masala was absolutely splendid and I took the opportunity to ask the manager about it. He told me that they especially import the spices for this dish from India and use their generational family recipe. The taste is so authentic that it beats what we even get at home!

M. M.

Excellent service and fantastic food from a wonderful bunch of people. Very good menu and prices too. All the food was well prepared and presented. Great place for my 60th birthday party. Raj was also a great friendly host.

g. f.

Excellent meal once more from a fantastic cosy restaurant. Outstanding value for money, fresh, flavoursome food. Raj was our host, warm, friendly, welcoming and really helpful, as well as being funny and engaging. Highly recommended.

D. M.

We took advantage of an Itison voucher to try the tasting menu. We were guided through the menu by our server and chose items that we wouldn’t normally go for. EVERYTHING was delicious, I’m not usually a fan of aubergine, but it was melt in the mouth gorgeous! as was the chickpea dish. Staff were lovely, attentive and friendly. The basic question is always, would I go back. The answer is a definite YES

P. S.

The food was absolutely amazing, they have something for everyone!! The vegan options are just as diverse as the others which really meant a lot to me. The staff is very professional and super friendly - always a delight to chat with them. Whenever you're there, ask for Mannu or Jaz... they'll really add positivity to your entire evening!

R. S.

The food is delicious, haven’t had such amazing Indian food in a long time. Loved it and the service 😍 mannnnnnnn. It’s a must go place. Happy customer is saying this… :)

M. T.

The food was amazing! We had the 7 course tasing menu and each was delicious. Will definitely be back

R. G.

It was ok, 7 taster menu, starters very limited and very little, would I use again, prob not, we see others got poppadoms spiced onions we didn't get this either, the review underneath was defo not what we got 🤔 maybe because we aren't drinkers it wasnt worth ur while, very basic, rations

C. C.

Superb menu, friendly helpful staff, great decor and prices. A quality restaurant in every sense.

K. Q.

First time trying here and WOW 👌 food was amazing. Can't wait to get back and try some more of the menu. Very busy and worth the extra wait for collection. Staff also very friendly. 10 out of 10

G. M.

Great Christmas lunch. Happy staff and happy customers!

C. M.

A really nice meal here. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food is very tasty.

K. &. R.

First time ordering from here. Delivery was prompt. We choose the set meal, my son has the ceylonaise chicken korma and I had the chicken tikka pardesi, fish pakora and mixed. The chicken was nice and soft in the korma and the sauce lovely and creamy he thoroughly enjoyed his meal. Mine not so great, quite bland and the chicken tikka just a bit on the hard side. I didn't finish my meal and the leftovers went in the bin. Fish pakora went really well with the the green dip not sure what exactly that was? I did upgrade and pay for a garlic naan bread but sadly this was just your bog standard naan we received. Didn't bother to phone as too much hassle over a minor issue and this was a delivery. Will return once more to try another curry out to decide once and for all if they are really any good.

A. M.

Fantastic restaurant in Southside. Food is authentic and really tasty. Pre-theatre menu is unbelievable value for money and wine is very well priced. Service is efficient and the staff are mega friendly. Definitely worth a visit!!

H. “. t. I.

First time I'd been back in the Ashoka since last year. Same new owners but a lighter fresher feel to the place and a cracking menu. Lovely staff too. I'll be back again very soon!! ❤️

I. B.

Excellent food and really friendly staff. Not your run of the mill Indian restaurant. Will certainly return and would highly recommend to others.

S. W.

Fantastic evening. Superb food from the tasting menu and great service from all employees. We look forward to returning in the near future. 😃

A. F.

Had a lovely meal through a wowcher offer. The starters were excellent and nic e to try a variety of things. Main meals were also very good (Get the reccomendation for lamb dish!). The aloo sauce is fantastic too and the nan bread. Raj also took really good care of us and made sure we were well fed and watered. 5/5

A. C.

Fantastic tasting menu, great deal 👌 lovely place and really nice staff. Tried some great new mains and a lovely starter, definitely recommend 😊

B. M.

Tried the tasting menu which is available on Groupon etc. The food was fantastic and great information on the dishes given by the waiter. Would highly recommend visiting here. I will be back.

R. H.

Quite inconsistent. I have gotten from here a couple times, most recently tonight and well it’s just inconsistent. The first time I got from here it was brilliant, truly one of the best takeaway curries ive ever gotten, however, I have just gotten a delivery of the exact same curry and it is bland and the chicken is very tough. Also, I payed £1 and they sent me 1 poppadom, I was honestly kinda is disbelief cause that’s just a brass neck when these things probably cost them about 10 p a pop, if that!! Overall, I’m not sure it’s worth the gamble of whether it will be amazing or a waste of money.

l. a.

Best Indian in Glasgow. The staff, the service and the food all get 10/10. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

J. J.

Had a nice lamb dhansak and excellent nan bread. Smaller portions and some fresh herbs would up my rating. Starters tasty but all a bit 'deep fried'. The Tuesday and Wednesday 30 percent offer makes it great value on those days. Service good.

L. R.

Great food, prices, clean venue, very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

N. H.

Great little Indian on the south side. Good selection of curries, almost all are gluten free. The place is jumping on a Tuesday when there is 30% off when you dine in. Delivery service is always very quick and the staff are wonderful.

C. H.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Great vegan options. Great dining experience all round.

A. R.

Not a great place. Bit small. Portions are too small especially the starter menu. Taste is not as great. Would give it a pass if I have other options.

R. W.

Fantastic time had by our whole party . We decided on the taster menu which was fantastic . We will be back soon for sure!

D. P.

Words cant even explain how great my experience was there. This is one of those hidden gems you have to experience to understand.The chicken Tikamasala and Nan bread was the food i ordered and so did my friend and was fantastic and very reasonable too. The waiting guys were very attentive and smart. Southside was AMAZING! Best I ever had. Every bit was a joy of goodness. It really and truly was wonderful. A must try!!!

s.

Meal deal for one - Chicken Pakora was fantastic. South Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken was great as always, really nice flavours. Rice was fine and Garlic Nan was brilliant as well. Can't beat the flavours of this curry.

I. M.

The 3 of us went for the pre theatre, but it was not offered on arrival. Service was prompt, drinks pricey at 6 quid. Poppadoms and spiced onion great, but I had to ask for more onions as the portion was small. Chicken panoramic was very good, fish and veg panoramic not so much. I chose lamb garlic chilli as it was supposed to be hot. It was medium at most but sweet and souring as described. Nans took too long to arrive after the dishes and the garlic nan was swimming in butter and garlic overkill. Meat content a bit on the low side and I would like to compare with the a la carte portion. So overall a bit mixed but in general OK.

E. A.

Have been visiting the Ashoka South Side for many years but has been a while since last visit.Had gone at 5pm opening time as thought we could get pre theatre menu but they no longer do this. Feel it was very expensive for the little we had as it cost us almost £40 and all we had was 1 starter to share, 1 lamb Pardesi ,1chicken Pardesi ,portion of boiled rice and a plain nan, 1 blackcurrant and soda water and glass of water, 1 latte and 1 black coffee a portion of popadoms and spiced onion. As you can see not much for £40 . There is also not the ambiance there once was so don't know if I would return plus it is a little expensive for what you get.

E. F. (.

Tasty food served in friendly surroundings. I had the fish pakora to start, plenty of it & crispy and spicy. Followed it with Chicken Tikka chasni, pilau rice, and their perfectly cooked Naan. Full to the brim 😋

J. W.

Food and service were fabulous, had the taster menu and had delicious foods that I had never tried before, will be back

I. J.

Lovely restaurant, good food and staff very attentive. Ambience was as we like it.

K. V.

Great 7 course shared tasting menu, great variety and good flavours

We normally order our takeaway from Three In One which is delish, but I had a deal on Uber eats, so I thought I'd try out Ashoka for a change. The food was nice & good value especially considering the voucher, but I think in future we'll just stick to Three In one. First of all, they use far too much plastic: Every item was either packaged in a polestyrene or plastic tub- the plastic tubaware being the sort that can last you years! I would ask that they consider the environment a lot more in their methods. Just a few suggestions: * The rice, curries & spiced onions can be in cardboard containers *The poppadoms can come in a paper bag alone - no plastic bag needed aswell * The pakora,samosas etc can be placed in paper bags rather than polestyrene boxes All of which our current curry providers do Now on to the food: We ordered a chicken & a vegetable jalfrezi , and they were tasty, however just not as good as we've had before. Furthermore, my father found not 1, but 2 hairs in the chicken one ( as shown in the pictures ) The pishweari naan was lovely, but just very small. Perhaps there could be an option for boiled or pilau rice? I picked the food up right on time, but it seemed to have been ready for a good amount of time already, and the food was no longer warm as a result - perhaps the food can be kept under a heater while it is awaited to be collected? Overall, we had an good experience, but as I said before, I think we'll just stick to our usual place- not least to save the environment!

B. F.

Waitress Zara is lovely. Food was ok, but the place is tired. If this is the public area, how bad are the kitchen's?

K. F.

Lovely food and excellent service. Food has depth of flavour, not oily. Would recommend. Veggie options very good too.

E. K.

Great food. Staff were friendly. Decor is lovely and ideal for our daughters birthday meal. We will be back!

l. e.

Food was great, staff very nice, enjoyed a nice Christmas night out, I expected it to be busier, it was quite quiet, the only thing I had anything to complain about was the toilet is freezing cold, jacket on to go to the toilet ha!

B. D.

In my opinion one of the very best curry restaurants in Glasgow, tremendous food to sit in or takeaway we use it on (at least) a weekly basis.

S. F.

Food was lovely. Piping hot and quick delivery. Delivery man was very polite. A+++++ service.

Fantastic good and great prices especially for the pre-theatre. Friendly staff and cosy atmosphere. Don't miss it.

j. b.

We order Ashoka almost weekly. Their butter chicken is a masterpiece. My partner once asked me to choose random options between 1) not having Ashoka butter chicken in my life ever again 2) not having all pasta in my life ever again... and I chose the second option, as their butter chicken is TOO GOOD! I’ve wanted to say thank you so much for making this awesome food! :)

K. E.

Great food, lovely staff

F. O.

A first time visit for us both but will definitely not be our last visit. Got a deal on 5pm for 7 dish tasting menu. It was absolutely fantastic. The food was so fresh and oozed flavour. Quality of service was top notch. Our server was so lovely and very friendly taking time to chat away to us. Could not fault anything. A wee gem of a place.
