Asha in Bury

"Excellent Takeaway Experience from Asha Indian Restaurant!" I recently ordered a takeaway from Asha Indian Restaurant in Bury, and I was thoroughly impressed. The delivery was on time, and the food arrived fresh, hot, and perfectly packed. The open kitchen concept at Asha is always reassuring, showing their commitment to cleanliness and quality. The food itself was absolutely delicious—each dish was flavorful, well-seasoned, and tasted as if it had just been freshly prepared. The katori lofted was tender and aromatic, and the naan bread was soft and warm the onion bhajis was so amazing and fresh . The quality of the food really stood out, and I could tell it was made with care. The delivery service was prompt, and the staff were polite and professional. Asha consistently delivers high-quality food, whether dining in or ordering takeaway. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again! Perfect value money and time

Excellent food, faultless service & bring your own booze with a mini Tesco over the road is very handy. Will definitely be back!

Return visit to The Asha with friends. The food as always was top class, great variety & quality. Tha Bangalore dishes are particularly excellent & unique. Service & atmosphere is fantastic, will definitely visit again when next in the area.

Visited Asha recently based on word of mouth recommendations. We arrived early and pleasantly surprised to find other diners already seated and enjoying their food. Staff very friendly and efficient, got off to a dodgy start as poppadum's were stale and some of the chutneys on the pickle tray were watered down. Starters followed and things picked up, they were really nice and we enjoyed them very much. Main courses arrived and, again were really good, plates were nice and hot as was the food which was very tasty and good portions. Table cloths spotless but my wife was less than impressed with the cleanliness in the toilets. Would get food from here again but not much of an atmosphere for dining - gives the impression of a room tacked on to the takeaway premises that somebody has decided to put a few tables in to attract eat-in customers.

As a group of girls we often meet & go to The Asha. Cannot fault it. Staff so attentive and we were well looked after. Food is Delish as always and the best King Prawn Tikka Pathia! I have booked myself & my son for Xmas Day...Can't wait. Keep up the great work boys 👍🏻👍🏻

Pre ordered. Had to ring to chase order. They couldn't recognise address. Ordered from here for years always amazing. Delivery driver very rude and intimidating. This was an online order. Where I was penalised for ordering a mixed tikka bhuna. He said not to do it again as king prawns in dish and extra. This isn't stated online. I appreciate they are very popular and busy, however made to feel like I did something wrong. I paid cash so if know was king prawns would have happily paid the extra.

Very tasty food and great service. Thank you!

Great food, but you really do feel like you're eating in the back of a takeaway.

Lovely food very tasty, fresh popadoms and naan bread , mushroom rice best I’ve had

Great food and service when we went into the restaurant to eat Sunday night

Absolutely loved this for tonight’s choice of takeout will definitely be ordering again we looked at recommendations on Facebook and thought we would try it certainly was not disappointed

My food was quite good but others had some issues. Staff were a bit grumpy/tired

Superb! I can't count the number of time I have visited but the food is fab. Staff are lovely and even when super busy, very friendly. There is always a great atmosphere too. The food is very tasty, well presented, excellently cooked - it really is a little gem

Been going here since they opened, and can honestly say, would not go anywhere else. Staff very helpful and friendly, food always great,, even during busy times they always take the time to come and check everything is ok. They never rush you during busy times either, which is always a bonus, as sone places are only interested in getting you served and out the door. Highly recommend. Prices very reasonable too.

Service was very good food was hot and came out fast the starters were very good but mains were OK on the upside you can bring ur own booze and food isn't expensive

We have eaten in and had takeaway. We had takeaway tonight Absolutley fantastic . Just fab food

Nice and being you own beer in. Great service.

Called in Sunday, the 15th . This review is solely on the food Out with freinds . 11 of us dined, Food arrived quite promptly which surprised me . All yhe carries had been made with a base gravy . Shockingly bland . Not even a sprig of corriander to make it look slightly appealing waste of money . Avoid at all costs

Ordered from here for the last 5 years and never had a bad meal, always excellent standard and delivered on time. Whatever we order is fresh using quality ingredients.

Great! Love it here best Indian in bury!

Absolutely amazing food and wonderful service props to the owners

Always love Asha, never goes wrong.

Below average tonight and I've been up all night with you know what. Used to be good not anymore for me

Lovely Indian food served here, the staff were helpful in choosing. The Tarka Dhal was amazing. Note they do NOT serve alcohol but you can take your own and there's a Tesco over the road which has you covered.

Top Indian. Great BYO restaurant, great atmosphere and excellent food.

The best Indian restaurant and takeaway in Bury. The food is fantastic. Very friendly staff and good service. Restaurants is unlicensed, so you bring your own alcohol. Tesco express is across the road if you need to buy your wine or beer.

Overall the good was pretty authentic. But the speed of the service is far too fast. 3 courses in 50 minutes. I asked for lamb tikka but received chicken tikka. Flavours were good. Probably wouldn't return due to feeling rushed.

Some of the food was lovely, some not so great. The meat samosas really were not nice and £1 per poppadom almost killed me. The curries were brill however the portion size of the rice and chips wasn’t great. We found the servers quite abrupt and really rushing when serving the food which made us all quite uncomfortable. I probably wouldn’t dine in again, maybe get a takeaway.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was incredible! We've been a few times and it has never failed us.

Fantastic food, service and bring your own booze in the restaurant.

Super food great atmosphere love the place

Slow for delivery but that’s not a problem if the food is good. Both curry’s full with Oil, very bland tasting and not the best portion sizes. A shame really. Ate from here a year or so ago and it was brilliant then.

We ( darts team ) go here occasionally & the only downside is the size of the place, when there are 10-12 of us it gets a little cramped. The food it quality.

Best Indian takeout/restaurant in Bury. Even better, if you're eating in, the no licence means you can take your favourite tipple, meaning a reasonable priced menu and not being stung for your drinkies....... perfect! (Update 10.02.2023)Still the best!

Hi, I think asha has gone done hill ordered take away missed out separate salad and the poperdoms were staley been like this for a while you want to make sure you take care with your customers there are your living.

Always great food. Delivery 80% of the time great.

It’s a brilliant place I go often and have never had to make a complaint

Fantastic food..friendly staff..delicious food...best I had in a long time..and Tesco just over the road...order your meal..then pop across and get a few beers...perfect.

Really enjoyed the food with good variety on the menu Nice atmosphere Take your own alcohol which is even better. Would definitely go back

Return visit with friends, as previously excellent standard of food & superb service from Abdul & the team, Mr Khan also in attendance to make sure everyone is looked after. Some of the new dishes are amazing & for value can't be beaten. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Been to Asha twice in 2 weeks. Love the food. Service excellent. Love the fact you can take your own booze. Thanks to the staff. Will be back soon. Best garlic nan ever!!

Had a lovely meal here tonight... it was a last minute thing so we hadn't booked a table, the food was outstanding. Curries gorgeous and a brilliant size portion, we had a curry each and brought half home each. Mushroom rice to die for, naan bread lovely. Brill that you can bring your own alcoholic drinks too. We'll definitely be back.

12.8.22. Home delivery. Ordered 2 mixed chutneys, got more chutney than an army would need! Ordered 2 onion bhaji, got 1 + a portion of chips. Ordered 3 pilau rice, got 5! Got a mixed tikka with meat so tough I am resoling my shoes tomorrow. Mixed korma very basic! All for the bargain price of £62.65! This takeaway has gone a long way downhill in recent months.

I loved the food its a nice place to go for a family meal . It's not the quickest service ever I love there desserts although there is not of a choice.A big problem is that it did not look like the picture . It's went up in price but still doable ,it's clean but needs a bit of sprucing up .The portion sizes are bigger the the usual portion sizes .Good service and I had a good time.

Brilliant local bring your own booze Indian and great prices! Definitely recommend!

Myself and my girlfriend are returning customers. Everytime the service is amazing. Be sure to try the specials..... Wow! Each visit we try a different dish and have never been disappointed. Being your own booze is also massive benefit, especially with a tesco express across the road. If you're stumbling across this review, go, book a table, support a local.l business, you won't be disappointed! :)

The Asha is the best Indian, great food, great people, nice ambiance in the restaurant, all good. The menu is great and varied but the Bangalore dishes are the real stand out, exclusive to the Asha, great flavour and quality, a must have! You really can’t go wrong here and the overall experience is hard to better.

Fantastic food, fantastic friendly service, fantastic value - my family and I have been going here for many years and wouldn't go anywhere else - don't think it can be beaten !

Just ordered veg curries and kebabs, meat tasted stale , the curries had undercooked potatoes and cabbage in them, and were totally bland , went in the bin , what a waste of 35 quid!!

Visited for the first time on Saturday (30 April) superb food cooked fresh, with very good service. I had mixed kebab starter, the meat was cooked to perfection, then had chicken and lamb madras- which was fantastic! Would definitely recommend a visit, I will definitely be making another visit.

Asha restaurant one of the best restaurant in bury area Had an evening visit with my friends Food was really yummy recommended for people who loves real authentic Indian food Good dinning space Clean and fresh food Great team akthar Hussain and moon was a great Team friendly people Will visit again

Probably the best Indian I've had when they are on point it's been a bit different last few times but still very nice the nawabi is beautiful.

Live this place... Food Excellent...Staff very friendly... Take your own Alcohol

Come here once every couple of months, never been disappointed. Great value for money and food is always fresh and tasty. Would particularly recommend the keema naan and balti is superb.

We have used Asha for takeaway a number of times and have always enjoyed the food. We decided to order for New Years Eve and planned ahead by pre-ordering online. We booked the food early evening (around 5) to be delivered for 8. At 8:50 we hadn’t received our food and so spoke to the restaurant who assured us it was out for delivery which was fine as we understood it is busy on NYE. At 9:30 we still had not received our food and spoke to the restaurant who said it would be with us soon as the delivery was going to BL2 before BL8, when asked how long that would take the man asked us how long does it take to get from BL2 to BL8. We explained that it was now too late to eat and if it did not arrive in the next 10 minutes we would cancel the order which the man said he understood and apologised. At 10:10 the delivery man knocked on the door. When my husband spoke to the delivery driver he explained why we didn’t want the food, the driver said he had come straight from the restaurant and had not been to BL2 so was a bit taken aback when we refused the food. It is a shame as the food is good but unfortunately we will be taking our Buisness elsewhere.

Use this place a lot and usually pretty good but tonight, no. Getting the order wrong by missing an item off and also getting the price given over the phone wrong to what was charged at the door was nothing compared to the abysmal quality of the starters. The prawns in the Prawn puri were chewy and dry, not edible and so ended up in the dogs bowl. Nearly 4 quid each and they were absolutely awful. Have had a quality issue in the past and rang them about it and just got an ‘oh sorry’ no effort at all to put it right so time to find a new takeaway. Disappointed.

SUPERB!! If you want a fantastic proper curry with great staff then look no further. We usually get a takeaway but I’ve been tonight with my dad and it was brilliant. They’ll do anything for you, nothing is too much to ask and the food quality is second to none. We are from Bradford so we know a good curry and this is the place to go.

I had a chicken balti naga and it was remarkable Definitely going to be returning with the family. Amazing time.

Attentive staff Very nice meal and value for money, let down with ladies and gents hand dryers not operating.

The waiter that served us definitely needed some customer services training! He didn’t check back after food was served (it was a Thursday night so very quiet), one of the curry’s didn’t taste right (tasted really sweet). When the waiter came to clear the table I advised him of this, the curry was all there didn’t eat any of it. He then asked me if I had every had a Samber before which yes I had many times. He then said it was advertised as a sweet and sour dish were I showed him the menu on my phone it definitely didn’t. He then said I should have told him he would have got it re cooked, I explained he wasn’t about and that he didn’t check in, he then said I should have found him and then wrapped this all up with “that’s how it’s cooked here “ ummm oks! No sorry, no offer of a refund I would have taken another one re cooked and took it home, oh well! Paid the bill and left. On a positive there chicken pakoras we’re amazing, not enough to return though !

When visiting friends in the area my must go to is The Asha. Every dish I have tried is prepared superbly & consists of excellent ingredients. The welcome from Abdul & Mr Khan is always warm & they will advise on dishes being considered. Also for value for money this restaurant is hard to beat Well done to all at The Asha & I look forward to my next visit.

Had very authentic indian dishes....the popadom sauces are a must try!!!

Really really enjoyed our meal here

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered to our campsite. Great service. Arrived exactly on time. Lovely food. Nice starters and good tender lamb in the main Can’t fault it. Will be ordering again next time we are in the area. Thank you 👍

Always absolutely stunning x perfect service and amazing food xxx

Ordered on a recommendation from our neighbour and was certainly not disappointed. Three of us tried different starters and main meals from the large, varied menu and found everything to be really fresh and very tasty and one of the best takeaway meals we have had in a long time. Portions very generous. Ordering very efficient and was delivered by a very pleasant gentleman Can't wait to order again and to try out the restaurant with family and friends ...See you soon Ann

Fantastic had the meal for 2 taste colours and presentation brilliant. I always ordered from takeaway up Walmersley had bad experience they didn't seem to care. Have now definitely changed to Asha thanks guys

As a new take away customer at this restaurant I am so impressed that I feel compelled to write a review... Where to start?? Extremely clean premises with welcoming front of house. All the food was excellent, fresh, tasty and well presented. The side salad and complementary fresh fruit salad was just that. Quality and appearance was fabulous... I love the loyalty system it shows that the restaurant owners are passionate about return customers: and obviously aware of the enormous amount of competition locally. The Asha is definitely going to be the only place I will be purchasing Indian take away food from moving forward. Excellent service, amazing food and a company that so proactively values the customer. Thank you Asha!!!

After a day of child minding our grand kids we recover with a well earned takeaway. Our place of choice is Asha. The food is always amazing but tonight the Chilli Chicken Masala was absolutely to die for. Fantastic guys thank you do much.

The onion bhajis are the best i have ever had!!

Has several takeaways from here recently after being advised by a neighbour that it had changed hands and was much improved since my last review. Tonight however it returned to its original terribleness. 2 hours and 15 minutes for an online takeaway ordered on their own website to arrive after 2 phone. 1st call we were told it had left, 2nd phone call 20 minutes later and he went off to find out where it was and then put the phone down. When it arrived the pot of lime pickle contained about a dessert spoon full. I ordered a mixed biriani, no prawns to be found and the lamb was like shoe leather. It was full of peppercorns and cloves which I nearly broke my teeth on. No salad with it unless you count a slice of cucumber and a cherry tomato on the top, curry sauce that came with it was horrid. Hubby had the lamb tikka naga, also shoe leather lamb, went in the bin and won’t be going back.

Just had a takeaway from Asha. We had the set meal B for 2 people and there was plenty for 3 of us. Lovely food. Beautifully cooked. Ready on time. Loved the saag paneer ( cheese cooked in spinach) Thank you Asha!! X

Tried a good few different dishes now, all superb, can’t wait to re order. The whole family love this place

Staying in the area we got a takeaway from this resturant on our final night , the food was really nice and full of flavours .One of the best indian meals we have tatsed and would be willing to travel from Liverpool to try it again amazing food

Staff are kind and funny! Food is always 10/10 You can bring your own beers which is a bonus! Sit in or take out, my local Indian very delicious

Ordered for the first and last time last night. Not feeling great today. I wouldn't if I were you.

The best curry house in bury !!!

Horrendous, I had the worst customer experience when ordering. They left half my order argued it was my fault it wasn't delivered and told me that “ they wouldn’t deliver it till tomorrow because they were busy” they delivered the second half of my order 3 days later. Not happy one bit! The food is mediocre. To top it off the nann breads were black. I don’t ever write a bad review. But this service and food quality was beyond bad! Can’t say I will ever return.

several people recommended this place. wonderful food which was excellent value for money. bring your own alcohol as well

Tried this place for the first time. Got a mix started and a few varieties of kebabs for the family. Have to say the food is stunning. Very clean and salad was fresh and crunchy. Cant wait to go back!

Excellent food - chicken tikka chillitamarind was tasty

Very nice food. Good vegetarian set menu for two and inexpensive.

Got a takeaway from Asha tonight. The Optional Meal Deal for 2 is brilliant value, and the food was spot on. Definitely going again soon.

Always great food, fresh tasty curries and delicious starters, I particularly like the prawn puree, food is always delivered on time and nice and hot, would highly recommend

Good food, lots of flavour. Unfortunately, rather slow service; visited on a Saturday evening. Takeaway service was more of a priority than restaurant guests.

Amazing food, friendly staff cannot fault this Restaurant - so well worth a try. I will most definitely be back and will not hesitate to recommend this Restaurant to friends and family.

The best in Bury hands down best food great staff stylish place love it highly recommended 11 out of 10

We have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions and have never had a bad experience. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the food is excellent. We have always felt welcome and never felt pushed to finish our meal. We had a great time there on New Years Eve and will certainly be returning next time we are in Bury

Travelled up from Hertfordshire to see friends in Bury, only place to go for dinner has to be the Asha. Worth the 220 mile trip, quality of food & unbelievable value for money, served with a welcoming smile by Abdul & his excellent team.Enjoyed it so much visited the following night as well. Has to be the best of its type in the area,looking forward to my next visit.

Come here all the time, always good food and you can bring your own beer!

We were staying in Bury and wanted something to eat. I looked up restaurants on trip adviser this was only 1/2 mile from the hotel and had good reviews do we tried it out and found the reviews well deserved. The best Nan bread I've had in ages everything was tasty and hot service was excellent!Will visit again when I'm in the area!

We’ve had several take aways over the past few months and this place is consistently good. The food is always flavoursome and there’s always plenty spice too!The most recent take away was a delivery and it was on time and didn’t take long at all. We will return!

I love the food from here and do think it’s one of the best take aways, what let’s it down is the delivery service. Every single order has arrived at least 30 mins later than expected but 1.5hrs even on a Saturday is just unacceptable. If this is the case stop taking orders.

Clean , and friendly service , good food not overly priced

Superb food, service and ambiance

Thankfully a brilliant Curry house that does Gluten Free food for my family

We had family staying nearby and we were all craving a decent curry so we thought we'd give Asha a try. Really glad we did!Everything was delicious not one complaint. I had the garlic chicken tikka shaaee, got to say one of the best curry's I've had. We generally head to more local restaurants for an Indian meal, but recently we have been very disappointed. Really glad to have come across Asha and will definitely be back!

This restaurant is excellent the food was amazing

Fantastic food and great service
