Asha's in Manchester

Food was good overall, a cut above the average Indian restaurant, with prices to match. It is currently one of only two in the UK, within the Asha's group, a small chain founded by former Bollywood star, Asha Boshle. Decor is modern and upscale, the soundtrack funky, and waiters smartly attired. Service was polite and attentive. We enjoyed most of our dishes, though didn’t rate the poppadom dips, or some of the wines by the glass. Overall though, a pleasing experience.

Tried the 6 course tasting menu with paired wines - absolutely lovely! Flavours and quality of food were great! Shivraj and all staff were attentive and super friendly. A great experience!

I am not from Manchester and rarely visit my local Indian restaurants anymore as I find I can make better curries myself at home these days. However, in Manchester for a night out we found ourselves tempted by a curry and decided to give Asha's a try. I found the service to be very good, no waits too long or too short, friendly and attentive. The food was very nice, Lamb rogan josh, butter chicken, mushroom pilau and garlic naan both very nice traditional style curries with lots of flavour and body, really enjoyed them. My only complaint would be that, for me, the portion sizes were a little small, especially when you consider the fairly high price. When I'm paying £25 for the curry alone, I wouldn't expect to still be hungry after. Personally could have eaten twice the portion size of curry. We only had popedom's as a starter though. If I was to visit again, which I certainly would, I would make sure to order a starter as well as poppadom's and main courses. Thanks for a great meal Asha

Excellent service from the moment we entered. We had a taster experience coupled with wine for every course. A well thought out menu to showcase the talent of the chefs and quality of food Asha provides. Kudos to our waiter Shivraj who was attentive, friendly and has a great rapport with his guests. Overall a great experience and highly recommend to anyone wanting more than just a meal.

11/10 for food, service, and restaurant!

Primera visita y no será la última! Servicio de primera clase y comida increíble! Todos los miembros del equipo cuarenta y siete eran muy serviciales y profesionales del gerente Ryan, el tierno bar, frente a la casa y todo el personal que esperaba. Los cócteles eran impresionantes. La comida era increíble. Recomiendo encarecidamente el arranque Palak Chaat. Posiblemente lo mejor que he comido. Era una celebración de cumpleaños y se esforzaron para asegurarse de que tuvimos un tiempo encantador. Sin duda volveré!

Los curry’s están en la región de £ 23 más arroz caro y no es buena comida. El costo no justifica la visita pruebe en otro lugar

Ate here on Friday 1 Nov. Could not fault the staff, professional and exceptionally polite. Restaurant environment fab, and food delicious!!!

The most delicious Indian food. I had the lobster which was perfect. Will definitely return.

We had an exceptional Anniversary dinner here! We each had the best curries we’d ever tasted. My partner had lamb muscat gosht, the lamb fell apart he didn’t even need to use his knife. I had the Aloo gobi, as I’m vegan I didn’t expect much choice but this was the creamiest curry of my life just wow. Only thing I’d change would be more vegan dessert options. We were seated by Ryan and he served us drinks after the meal, very friendly and the conversation was nice, even had some great facts on the history of the area!

Great food and service. Sadly the IT system was down so we did not get to sit in the main reception and enjoy the atmosphere and the ambience of Asha’s music.

Food was okayish, the order took longer than usual and staff seemed a bit rude. Not a good experience , also prices are on a higher end and service is poor

One of the best fine dining places in the heart of Manchester. Plenty of Indian options to choose from. Delicious food and a friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious & tasty food! Staff were very friendly & attentive. Celebrated my husband’s birthday, & we had a lovely little complementary cheesecake. Thank you! Definitely recommend.

Set in this High End India Restaurant owned by Legendary Indian Singer ASHA BHOSLE. A place does offer Indian Food Experience but matches English pallet. My experience was in their partnered dine place instead actual restaurant. Actual place opens Wednesday to Sunday (I guess) Food was over all average with spice on lighter side. Service was good (as expected from high end place) BUT - DISAPPOINTED that I was served, without my knowledge, substituted "Dessert" I'd ordered dessert combo and was looking forward to "Kulfi" but was served "Cheese cake"!!! I'm sure bare minimum is to inform and ask!! 🇮🇳🙏🏻🥘🎉👍🏻

Had a family meal yesterday at Asha’s Was served by Shivraj , he was amazing, kind ,attentive and extremely welcoming, Experience was truly fantastic 🌹

Food, atmosphere and staff..all truly amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Food and service was really awesome. Specially Yogesh who treated us really well.

One of the best Indian food I had great experience and ambience

Me and my wife visited Asha's to take advantage of a Six Course Tasting menu voucher I got for a gift. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Each course was accompanied by a lovely paired wine (which I'm usually not bothered about). Each dish was absolutely lovely and we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. We have already looked at the regular menu to plan another visit and would highly recommend if you are in Manchester.

I had dinner at Asha's with my wife we both ordered Roganjosh and chicken tikka masala and some starters while most things were okay, the naan bread was absolutely unacceptable. It came out raw and had an unpleasant, fishy smell that made it hard to enjoy the rest of the meal. I wasn't the only one who noticed this – other tables around us were also complaining about the naan. For a place that seemed to get other dishes right, this was a huge letdown. I hope they address this issue because it completely ruined the experience. Wouldn't recommend until they sort this out!

Yogesh made to the experience for I us, absolutely lovely guy and presented beautiful food to us. Thank you

Lovely and beautiful venue in the heart of the city - food was perfect cooked and amazingly delicious. The 50% deal via First Table on a Tuesday evening was the icing on the cake - oh, and the gorgeous dessert offering! You Our booking and experience was seemless - especially as it was our 25th wedding anniversary so a special celebration in a wonderful restaurant. Shivraj the waiter was faultless in every way and really genuinely looked after us throughout (even one-up on his manager as every time the manager asked us anything, Shivraj had already dealt with it. Hope to back again for another kind of special occasion.

Wow what can I say this place is just outstanding, hands down the best Indian we have been to and we have been to many around the UK! A special shout out to Shivraj who looked after us and was the most attentive and lovely waiter, a real asset to Asha’s. We can’t wait to return.

THE most authentic and delicious food I have had the pleasure to experience in the UK to date. The Palak Chaat was an experience in itself, followed by a wonderful prawn biryani and garlic naan. Yogesh who waited on our table was very friendly and professional as were all the the staff. I cannot wait to return. Thank you so much if I could give 10 stars I would.

Fabulous food and Good service by Yogesh

Great food, great service & refined atmosphere. We came for a special meal & Asha’s didn’t disappoint. The food was lovely with a real depth of flavour & the staff were attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back!

My partner & I stayed for the night in Hotel Forty Seven so had to try out Asha's being on the premises. Must say from start to finish it was a wonderful experience! The decor was fantastic, modern & stylish. Our waitress, Medha, was top notch & could not be more friendly, helpful & extremely efficient. She went above & beyond to make our evening so enjoyable. The food was "out of this world!" We both love Indian food but this was exceptionally exquisite & tasty. Would definitely recommend the restaurant, hotel & the cocktail bar where we'll be sure to visit again. Thank you to all the attentive staff & big shout out to Medha 👍

Very nice, good service, great good... Would love more authentic Indian music though but everything is good, I'll be back

One of the best meals I’ve had! The Naan melted in your mouth, the curry was full of flavour. Service was great from start to end, beautiful decor and the cocktails were also delicious! Definitely coming back!

Went here on Saturday there were 4 of us eating. The service from Yogesh was fantastic he could not do enough for us. The food was amazing. I had the whole tandoori spring chicken for main an it was beautifully cooked. My wife said it’s probably the best Lamb curry she’s ever had. The only negative as such is the bill lol £276 for a curry, it is Manchester though and I would go again for a special occasion.

We came for a birthday dinner and was waited by together and he was lovely and accommodating! Very nice service great food overall pleasant experience

Wanted Jain Food. The staff was very helpful. Special mention to Yogesh, who helped us get not just Jain food but also helped us sterilize the milk bottle for our baby. Worth visiting.

A decent place for those days when you feel like having Indian food.

Unfortunately not a great experience which is disappointing as the reviews looked good. Firstly we were seated and asked if we wanted to table water and poppadoms which we said yes please. Our drinks order was taken shortly after but no water arrived so we re asked for the water. Food order was taken - outside menu and online menu said they did korma but this wasn’t present on their menu inside. Waiter also said rice wasn’t enough to share (spoiler alert - 1 portion is plenty for two) Food then came out but no poppadoms had come out so we mentioned this and then they brought some out. No mint sauce with the poppadoms either, just all different chutneys. Overall disappointing experience.

Loved the ambience and Mr. Yogesh served us well! It was a very special occasion! His service was on point!👌🏻🤌🏻

Indian fine dining at it's best.

This is one of my favourite restaurants and my recent visit did not disappoint. I went with 3 colleagues. The team at Asha's Prashad are always courteous and friendly and the food is delicious. Everyone was extremely happy with their experience.

I came with a group of friends and we had a wonderful experience. Lovely food and great service. The staff were friendly and attentive, especially Vishnu and Yogesh who served our area. Looking forward to returning soon!

The food is incredible and service was so good. Vishnu is so friendly and so caring. Will definitely come to visit next time.

Food and service were so good!! Waiter Yogesh was very patient with us big group and made us feel welcomed, thank you so much

The best service and Indian food ever. Thank you Vishnu and Yogesh!

Such a wonderful experience from the moment we stepped in till we left the restaurant! The food was excellent - i was pleasantly surprised to find such delicious Indian food outside India. Special mention - GM Ryan who greeted us and made us so comfortable. He was happy to indulge in a conversation with us about the great Asha Bhosle’s achievements. Yogesh, took great care of us and served each course with a smile! I will suggest this restaurant for its ambiance, food, wonderful staff and the overall experience!

Amazing food with great service from shivraj! Definitely will be returning

It was our anniversary (33 years happily married) - had the 6 course tasting menu. The staff were very helpful (Shivraj and Yogesh). Compliments to the Chef as the food was excellent (very tastefully done with right amount of spices for Indian Palette) thank you all recommend to anyone who fancies a change from standard Indian food.

Great food, so tasty. Every dish was spot on. Service was great too, thank you Yogesh!!

An excellent meal with wonderful service from Yogesh. Well worth a visit

The food was awesome and staff was very nice too specially shivraj Singh.

I would like to thanks yogesh he was nice food is excellent at Ashas

Visited in July 24vfor the taster menu. What an amazing dining experience. Food was so tasteful and service from Vishnu was personal an attentive. We will definitely be back. Your chef makes outstanding Food

First time at this restraunt the starter and main was fantastic the flavours were amazing. But if a let down with the service felt a little rushed was asked if we were finished we I was still eating which made it abit awkward. Had to wait along time for pudding. Forgot to bring a few drinks to the table. The waitress also didn’t speak so made it quite awkward

A wonderful evening, lovely engaging staff, elegant surroundings and delicious food, a perfect venue and meal. See you again. Mike Piggott

Most awful dining experience in Manchester. The staff were very rude. Bad service, we left because we couldn’t stand the horrible attitude. I would not recommend it for Arabs. The waiter kept raising his voice and talking back to us even tho we were asking for a status update.

Spendid hospitality by Medha and Vishnu . They have made my birthday extra special . The dishes were absolutely amazing and great taste . Thank you very much

Don’t bother. I don’t know exactly what’s the hype with it, but it’s not worth your money. Food is ok, but nothing exceptional, some too salty, some bland. Service ok but a bit slow.

Very delicious and the service is excellent and the prices are considered high

Absolutely outstanding customer service displayed for our wedding anniversary.

Was pleasant enough but far too expensive. We stuck with poppadoms and a main that didn't need anything else as it was a biryani. The meal itself was very nice and I could imagine you might pay a premium. Given I'd been to Eastz east a few days earlier I know which place I'd go to again. Staff were fine, I guess this place is not targeted at me.

The food is first class and service is the best i have ever seen however make sure to look at the menu first before you go because the food is very overpriced

Always wanted to visit this restaurant and finally made it. The food was amazing to say the least - the king prawn curry, the Guntur chicken and lamb biriyani. Also offered a replacement drink and a free dessert. Great service ! Definitely recommend.

The service was excellent our server was constantly attending to our table. Quality of food was very high with all dishes being served very quickly . Would recommend the mocktails and all the starters we tried were excellent as well.

Have been a few times to Ashas operates as a high end restaurant ,the curries were ok,overpriced really but as i say it tries to be a high quality establishment

Fantastic! New menu. Go try it out!

Love love loved Asha’s- am always slightly critical of indian restaurants but this is a lovely balance of quality and quantity and the restaurant is a lovely vibe! Authentic food, crisp service and great service! The cocktails were REALLY nice as well Thank you Vishnu and Naresh- when we come to Manchester will definitely eat here again :))

Amazing Restaurant and service by Yogesh and Manager Vishnu. Great place.

On entry greeted by rude arrogant staff, may be they think they are high end, missing any real awards or Michelin stars for that, the place is run down & tacky, the lamb is not lamb its sheep, low grade fish, prawns were third world imported stocks, tasted cheap, very poor level food, ,chef needs firing & ingredients the lowest of low level, management need Gordon Ramsey to visit, literally the worst curry I have had anywhere on the planet, 1/10 from me, make sure you’re heavily pissed before entry to enjoy despicable indian cooking, a real insult to the beautiful Indian Sub-Continent.

None authentic commercial food A true Indian restaurant doesn't have to get you drunk 1st then to serve u just anything. Go experience Merzee Stockport road ul forget all city centre rubbish

Lovely food and amazing hospitality

Great food, lovely place 😍 Definitely recommend 👌 👍

The food and the service was fantastic. Our waiter Shanthanu has been really wonderful and have made us feel exceptionally welcome

Food was really good. Being an Indian, I can vouch for indianess of the food. Shantanu was very quick to service and very kind. Would love to visit again soon.

Celebrating fathers 70th, the overall experience was excellent, staff went above and beyond, table was decorated and a cake was bright out at the end. The food itself was of very high quality and our waitress Maydha was great!

When we arrived we was welcomed with a smile and taken to out table which was in a good place , the order for starter & main & pudding was absolutely first class the food was outstanding and followed by cocktails . Over all Asha's was one of the best restaurants my wife & me have been to 💯%..

My wife and I had the 6 course taster menu with wine flight. Delirious food especially the pepper prawns! Fantastic service by Medha and the rest of the people! Would definitely come again

Medha .. was excellent doing the service.. food was good … but Medha was excellent

Expensive and bland. To be fair they did their best to react to my complaint about the bland food. Second meal was better but still not very spicy.

I never used to like the Indian food, but my best friend convinced me to give it a one last try and it was the best decision of all times! This restaurant is places in the center of Manchester. It's beautifly decorated and would be perfect for a date or family dinner too. The managers: Ryan and Saroop are very welcoming and insightful, sharing tips for best choice on the menu and facts about Indian food. I absolutely loved my food and changed my mind about the Indian cousine!! There's a rich choice of cocktails but also mocktails which is rare around the UK and I appreciated that. Mocktails are original and tasty. There's also a bar area downstairs in the building, very charming prefect place to start the night! I will definitely come again, thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!

After a good few months, I was back at Asha's for a lunch date with my polish friend who never liked Indian food but thank you Asha's and both Ryan and Saroop for delightful and authentic Indian dining experience. It was a truly wonderful experience and my friend absolutely loved it.The food was incredibly flavorful and authentic, especially the palak starter and lamp chops. The biryani as always is to die for. We also had garlic naan and the guntur chicken curry which was a little spicy for my friend but she enjoyed it.The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff and Manager Saroop, who was happy to explain dishes to my polish friend and offer recommendations. The ambience of the restaurant was also lovely, with warm lighting, beautiful decor, and most importantly clean and comfortable seating I highly recommend Asha's for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Indian meal in a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you once again and will be back soon😊

One of the nicest Indian meals I have had. Slightly more expensive but worth it.

Ok: 1- Ordered butter chicken, it was alright. Ordered the dal makhni, it was good. Naan was well baked, and the chicken Tikka biryani was an interesting combination with a surprisingly decent result. 2 - for a Sunday night out (with the next day being a bank holiday), and around 9pm, the restaurant was surprisingly empty. A little surprising. 3 - Aside from that, decent atmosphere and loved the tributes to Asha Bhosle's music. Had great service from Medha and her colleagues - appreciated their cooperation. My partner and I had forgotten her bag and my umbrella, and were willing to keep it safe for us until we got back to receive it.

What can I say, this was my first time visiting Asha's and it definitely won't be my last! I booked for a group of six and we were treated exceptionally well by Ryan and his wonderful team. The food is out of this world, the drinks menu is perfectly paired and the staff were attentive, friendly and just knew our next move. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we'll definitely be back and recommending you to our friends. X

Incredible food and service, it's obviously more expensive than most places serving this type of cuisine, let me tell you though, it's entirely worth every penny and more for the quality and the service. 11/10

It was my worst experience with Indian food. The lamb biryani was filled with ghee/butter so rich we had an upset stomach through the night. The Kori curry was overpowering with green cardamom, not a balanced curry ata all. I would definitely not recommend this place to any individual who is looking for a decent Indian dinner experience. Poor Asha ji her famed name is being tarnished with such a deplorable eating standards.

Had an amazing experience at Asha’s !! Both Saroop and Gunjan served us with utmost care and were very friendly . His friendly smile made us eat more ☺️☺️ An absolute culinary gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and sophistication. The ambiance was charming, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and artistry. The service was top-notch, attentive yet unobtrusive. It's not just a meal; it's an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining adventure! Go for it Asha’s !! 😍😍 And yes do not miss the Gulab jamuns served with lip smacking Rabri and the Berry Mocktail 😍😍

Very good food, and the Blue light card is accepted.😀🫠🫠🫠🫠

Went for wife's birthday, staff & food were amazing especially Yogesh

This was amazing food would attend every week if i lived close by everyone should try this

Stumbled across this hidden gem online , as personally for me there are hardly any places in manchester that meet my food standards. Asha's is the best restaurant to eat. All of the staff are fantastic & exceptional service is to Yogesh. Thank you Yogesh for being very considerate & thoughtful, you are a great member of the team. Thank you to the whole team , the chefs , waiters & front of house - excellent food , excellent atmosphere , everything absolutely excellent !! If i could eat at Asha's everyday i would. I will try & introduce as many friends to Asha's as possible 😇😇😇 Thank you :)

A wonderful restaurant that offers a varied menu of Indian food. The restaurant staff is courteous in dealing with customers. Do not miss the biryani meal, it is truly delicious.

Absolutely amazing food and lovely staff - definitely recommend

We visited for a special occasion dinner over the bank holiday period, and the service and food were incredible - thank you so much in particular to Olive, who went above and beyond to make it a memorable evening!

I loved the whole experience the food was amazing, service was excellent and it is a very nice restaurant for family. My mom is a big fan of Respected Asha Bhosale and she loved this place too! Listening to the songs in the background made us feel so happy and proud of the owner. 😍🫡

Asha's Manchester is a culinary delight! From the vibrant atmosphere to the exquisite dishes, every moment is a treat. The flavors in each bite, especially their signature dishes like the Butter Chicken, are unforgettable. Impeccable service adds to the overall experience. A must-visit gem in Manchester!

Absolutely wonderful modern Indian restaurant. We were greeted by the very charming Bradley who kindly took our wet jackets for us with a big welcoming smile. I had the lamb chops which were so tender & so tasty. We were served by the utterly lovely Olive who was very attentive, great sense of humour & very warm & friendly. Superb food & great ambience. Highly recommended.

Bland food need some spices and needs a bit of a kick starters were nice

Terrible tasting food. Absolute disgrace to the culture. So expensive, not worth it. Youre in town go anywhere else...

The restaurant is accessible with hidden lift inside. The food was very tasty, flavoursome and good value for money. When an error occurred with one of our meals Vishnu the manager dealt with it very well and the service was impeccable. The waiting staff were also amazing and attentive.

Great food and atmosphere. Yogesh was very attentive and welcoming Flowers on Mothers Day was a nice touch Will be back for sure

This place is a great place for couples, the food was amazing the staff are amazing. The desserts are amazing, the New York cheese cake is amazing 😍
