Aji Bhaji Restaurant & Indian Takeaway in Ashford

Took the order over just eat and clicked they delivered it nearly 2 hrs ago. Not answering phone and haven't bothered replying to our message. Awful place

Been ordering from aji bhaji for years ordered takeaway on Saturday it was the worst meal iv ever eatin the food all tasted the same like water bland the keema nan meat was green never ever again do I order from here

Ordered from Argi Bhargi many times and food was amazing and very tasty. Tonight the 10th August I ordered and delivery was very long. I served up the food and it tasted awful. Tasteless and bland. Will not be ordering again from here. Food was awful Sharon

10th August. Just had take away delivered from Aji bhaji. We have meals delivered from there lots of times and it's always been very good. But tonight something is very different. My wife said when she served it that something has changed. The cartoon's are now plastic rather than the aluminium foil trays. Then we ate the food and it was very bland. Everything tasted the same and the Keema nan was poor. I'm so disappointed, as we have always enjoyed the food from there. Been ordering from them for at least 4 years. Does anyone know what ,if anything has changed in the kitchen. Probably try somewhere different next time. We live at TN24 9QQ, just incase the restaurant people are wondering who we are. A response would be most welcome. Tony & Lorna

Just delivered my food The first order wasn't according to our taste. The lady was extremely nice. I never complained. It was awkward but we had no option we are moving out.DS was very hungery. The lady sorted it out and the food came in no time. Amazing customer service and delivery was good. This time taste was extremely good.

Ordered online, reasonably priced and food arrived on time, delivery driver was pleasant enough but the quality and taste of the food wasn’t great, both the lamb and chicken was tender but the sauces were both very acidic and not enjoyable at all, sad to say we definitely didn’t enjoy.

Food took over two hours was cold and swimming in oil. Chicken tikka was inedible. Feel sick.

Good food, nice service, great prices and quick food service. Food is always enjoyable.

Ordered a takeaway on line. Good menu with lots of choice, a good order experience that was easy to navigate and understand. My food was ready when I arrived to collect. A very polite, friendly lady, at the counter, welcomed me and brought my order from the kitchen. Onto the main event. Very tasty food no faults apart from onion bhajis a little over done but overall excellent food very reasonably priced, I will return soon. I am 63 years young, well travelled and experienced foodie, eating curry and Asian food before I was a teenager, in fact food from all over the world, thanks to an adventurous mum and dad.

Very good meal will definitely go back again. Nice atmosphere.

Arrived from the boat in Dover needing food. Ashford was deserted, but I was directed here by Google maps. The restaurant was empty, but the owner was so friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

Edit: this review was for when aji was just serving japanese food, i sadly cannot recommend the indian food, after two orders of the same meals both arrived unrecognisable from each other within only weeks of each other. One (most recent) was inedible. Amazing authentic food, would be better if available desserts matched the quality and authenticity of the main food and weren't just prefrozen cakes and sorbets.... japanese sweets would be amazing and a far better end to a meal!

Annie soooo nice And nice food too Hey gorgeous, thank you very much thank you thank you

Waited for 2 hours. Food still not arrived. No answer on phone any more after saying it would be 15 mins (1h30m ago). No apology and awful Comms.

Just had a takeaway and must say it's one of the best I've had in a long time definitely be ordering again.

Love the food also the service is absolutely outstanding.

I had lamb curry and spicy paneer. No oiliness, perfect consistency of flavours and only took 25 minutes.

2 hours for delivery! Disgusting! Chicken not cooked all the way through, rice was burnt and tasted off! Restaurant wouldn't issue refund. Do not waste your money. Had to reorder from elsewhere, I could not eat it!

Don’t waste your time. I placed a order at 19:07pm. After waiting a 1hr 30 minutes, I tempted to phone them to see if there was any updates, unfortunately the phone was left unanswered. I finally managed to get through to someone at 21:06 who said that they would check to see what’s happening and call us back… well it’s now 21:35 no phone call and still no food. I will not be ordering from here again.

Lady was rude on the phone about a postcode, told me the post code was wrong even though I’d said it three times. Delivery guy nearly delivered the wrong one & said I hadn’t paid. Food wasn’t the best, sag painr swimming in oil & smelled off.

Tried Aji Bhaji for the first time, plenty of tasty food, order prepared very quickly, good portion sizes, plenty of meat and sauce will definitely order again and recommend for others to try, priced very well too, well done worth the five stars

Do yourself a favour and read the bad reviews on this place about their time keeping with orders.Ordered take away and the food has been horrifically late. They kept changing our order arrival time. We called and they were anything but helpful. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. If you can't fulfill the orders and send the food out in a decent amount of time, don't take the orders and make people wait. I would rather go elsewhere!! What you did to us tonight is unfair and so so inconsiderate. I dont think I can find enough words to even describe to you how apalled and upset I am. I will NEVER order from these people again. Overall a shocking first experience which I will never repeat again.

Very disappointing first experience. Waited more the an hour and a half for delivery. They also did not honour their promotional discount. Staff were rude and incompetent. Will definitely not be a return customer.

Disgusting.Over 1hour late no apologies from restaurant. Swimming in fat inedible. Restaurant didn't answer when called to complain. Would never use again. Would not give any stars if able too!

Best Indian takeaway I've had, generous portions, delicious, cooked perfectly

Used to go here when it was a Japanese restaurant and was not disappointed. Food was excellent, tandoori chicken was tasty and tender, garlic chilli chicken was just right, naan was excellent as were the samosas and onion bhaji. Easily the best Indian in Ashford. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

So we waited until the estimated delivery time until we phoned the restaurant with an update on how much longer our delivery would be, to be told that the driver was on his way.. (we live 8 mins from the restaurant) and hour later it still hadn't arrived, (2 hours we waited all together) we called back again and was told again the driver left 15 mins ago... With little faith the driver eventually rung us explaining he was lost (he was in the next road) we told him it was the next road and he took the road before.. after getting off the phone we then waited another 10mins before ringing him back (as he should have been about 10 seconds, not 10mins) he was still sat in the next road... For what reason we don't know... Food was ok, bit cold as you could imagine.

We wanted to try a new curry place and our first order. The food was 15min late but there was good communication. The food was very nice and the quality good. Would order again.

We ordered yesterday and it was really delicious. Tandoori Chicken was tender and aromatic and chicken korma was lovely with rice and naan bread. Strongly recommend trying, definitely worth the money. ( also do order some onion bhaji as a side, they’re so good :) ).

Shame it closed five star rating!

Delicious food, very polite and welcoming staff, one of my favourites in town.

Me and my partner love this place. Excellent quality Japanese and Chinese food, we've been so many times and just keep going back. Lovely, friendly staff, can't think of anywhere nicer to spend a chilled out evening eating wonderful food! ♡ 100% recommend!!!!

Dinner for two, only customers, good menu, good service, reasonably priced

The food is yummy and the staff is really nice. Let's support them in these difficult times.

The food is always so nice and delicious, the service is brilliant the lady there works her socks off. We reccomend the teriyaki Bento box. We have been here a few times over the years and the quality of service and food has stayed the same we cannot fault it one bit.

Good value with a ridiculous amount of rice. You will not come out feeling hungry. You will feel hungover from the amount of food.

I had walked past Aji's so many times thinking I would try it out eventually before actually going finally, I can't get enough now! This is my favourite restaurant in Ashford by miles. The food is absolutely spectacular. The staff are so friendly and polite. I've had nothing but fantastic service every time. The prices are extremely reasonable too. 10/10. Just try it, if you enjoy Chinese and Japanese food. So many great options to choose from.

The best sushi around!! You HAVE to eat here!

Excellent sushi. Collected due to Covid-19. Easy to order and collection handled well.

Stopped of at this little Jem when we arrived in Ashford. They were closed but allowed us in early to sit as we had luggage with us. Very small but cute set up. We were given menus quickly and were told about the lunch deal. We decided to have the lunch deal. We weren't sure what we would be served in a deal that is only £7.99. They were able to offer something vegetarian as there was nothing on the lunch deal for me. I had the vegetable Croquettes and a vegetable Don Curry. All the vegetables had a beautiful crispy panko crumb, which stayed crisp even as it cooled off. Food was pipping hot and very flavourful. I've had curries similar to this but have had a powdery after taste. This didn't. Portion was huge, more than what I could eat. Definitely a bargain for the price we paid. Service was quick and the place was clean.

Easily one of my favourite restaurants, 4 of us each ordered different starters, mains and suchi. We all agreed everything was absolutely delicious and not only that but really good portion sizes and competitive prices. The service can be slow at times but given the nice decor and unlimited green tea I can't complain.

The food is authentic and genuinely delicious.

First coming here and I have to say the service was awful. We sat there with hungry kids for 45 minutes and finally drinks order was taken. That too 15 to be served ( not all was served). Then 1 hr later starters came, 1.55 hrs later main food was served. One worker was available doing all the welcome, cleaning, serving, bar. She was literally running around the whole place trying to juggle. Food was that great either. Won’t recommend

Really lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food, and surprisingly lively for a Covid-stricken Saturday night!

Absolutely delicious. Tofu steaks, seafood ramen, spicy seafood broth, miso soup. The waiter was a little taciturn but pleasant. The food took a little while to come but it was well worth it. Really really well worth it. And great value.

Fantastic good wholesome Japanese cuisine. Reasonably priced menu. Suitable for business lunch or just sample the food. Polite staff. Very clean in all areas.

Cuisine japonaise goûtée, savourée, appréciée. Fait maison.

Booked ahead but found out no table was reserved for us but thankfully there were tables free. Just thought it was weird as everyone else that came after us had a table with reserved sign for them. Ordered tonkotsu ramen which was ok. Might stick with the usual katsu curry if i go again.

Ordered takeaway for a time that they gave us. Arrived for pickup and they haven't even started our order. Left with food after waiting for close to 30 min and they have not given us our full order. So unfortunate.

Excellent lunch special. Loads of food and very tasty.

Authentic Japanese food and lovely service.

Typical japanese food. Never had bad Japanese food anywhere. Didnt have enough salmon for sashimi but just shows they are buying fresh.

مطعم هادئ ونظيف وطعام راقي ،، ولكنه غالي جدا ،،

Best Sushi in town ! Will be coming back !

I love this restaurant. Staff are lovely. Sushi is always good. My favourite main is the curry tori don though. Highly recommend.

I have been there at different times because of business trips. Food is always good and there are quite a number of different Japanese and Chinese dishes to choose from. Prices are reasonable and the lunch special is definitely worth it.

Went here for a spontaneous birthday meal and haven't stopped raving about the experience. Waitress was busy serving a leave party but was delightful and made us feel appreciated. The food was amazing, sushi divine and had a lovely bottle of plum wine. We left a good tip after dinner and the waitress and the chef thanked us personally with some chocolates. Honestly ladies made my night keep up the good work

Superb meal, had a laugh with the owner.... Would recommend a visit.

Food was fantastic and will certainly go back!

Sadly more Chinese than Japanese however, there is a very extensive menu of good high quality dìshes. Go for the Japanese box meals-VERY GOOD!

Lovely food and very nice staff

I was pleasantly surprised, never had Japanese food before i wasn't sure what to expect, we went for lunch and really enjoyed it

Great food wish o had found it sooner

The food is really nice The service is mediocre The staff is friendly The place is adequate but not fancy The proportion are good to the price

Absolute gem of a place. Recommended but a little expensive on the sushi side.

Wonderful food, nice atmosphere

Good customer service, tasty food and excellent prices

Service was good which is why I gave two stars but from a food point of view, it was severely lacking. The teriyaki salmon was over cooked, the teriyaki chicken was poor and the avocado sushi consisted of seaweed that just wasn’t fresh. I don’t know why it has received high ratings but maybe we just ordered the wrong food!

Nice Japanese restaurant in Ashford...even has the sunken tables! Haven't seen that anywhere else

Eaten here a number of times. Couldn't ask for tastier food or friendlier people

The place is mystical and so calming with excellent Japanese cuisine, nothing to complain about.

Great food and lovely service, best place in Ashford for Japanese food in my opinion.

Excellent food, highly recommed!

Good food, friendly and professional service. Will go back again

Great food great service and excellent staff. I have been there on many occasions and never had a bad meal. From set lunch menu to to the main menu food is always great. I will go back over and over again.

Love this place for a quick lunch. Had the lunch special donburi, I had the edamame and chicken teriyaki don. Delicious but the miso soup was cold.

This is simply the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to, whether in the UK or in Italy (my home). The flavours are just grand.

The food here is delicious however sometimes the service leaves a lot to be desired

Went to this place last night with my family. Although I'm not a big Japanese food lover. I was pleasantly surprised the choice of food was really good and what we had was delicious. The staff were also.spot on. You won't be disappointed if you decide to eat here.

Excellent food great service lunchtime menu seriously recommend

would recomened this restaurant staff ,food and surroundings all of the highest standards , will defiantly visit again

Aji restaurant very beautiful space, and very delicious food.

Amazing food- very tasty and well presented recommended ⭐️👌👌👌

Very good food! Great costumer service and a very pleasant venue!

Cannot praise this place enough, they really cater for your needs here and provide an excellent service. I'm a regular customer here and they know my favourites now with out even asking. Absolutely love this place.

Really friendly service and amazing fresh food!! Would definitely go again!

This restaurant is a little gem in Ashford. I love sushi and sashimi, so what I really like about AJI is each time I order a sushi and sashimi bento box, some of the contents is different based on what fresh produce they have in stock at the time. Their other dishes are excellent as well. Staff are tremendously helpful and friendly as well. For instance, really helpful when trying to pick dishes for young ones. If you like Japanese food, you will be surprised to find such a high quality Japanese restaurant in Ashford.

Good Japanese food for kent. Edit: they have added chinese food to the menu and it is really excellent!

Huge variety of good food with friendly staff.

Just had dinner. Superb food. Great service and staff. Highly recommended!

Lovely restaurant, very good value lunch. Food is fresh and tasty. Friendly staff.

really tasty authentic japanese food.

The food is ok. They are trying to be a modern English twist on Japanese food.... I'd rather authentic Japanese food, it would taste better too

Absolutely delicious Japanese food, sashimi were nice and fresh, food came quickly, in all respects a positive experience!

Great food, great interior, amazing service!!!

Love it here, vegan options, delicious food.

Delicious food, reasonably priced.

Very very good food. Clean and good value for alot of the menu. Best chicken curry in town

Friendly helpful staff good quality food... not cheap but go on spoil yourself occasionally!

Very nice food, reasonable prices, a bit too insistent about their sushi though if you don't happen to order any.
