Ashiana in Nottingham

An authentic menu which accurately reflected what was ordered and served. The food was French and the portions were perfect - satisfying but not completely overfacing

We had a family meal Friday night and it was excellent. One family member is gluten free and I would say 95% of the menu is fine for her to eat so big plus there! The restaurant was busy however the service was still swift, friendly and without fault. Plates tidied away quickly, the waiters and waitress were chatty and didn't rush. The food was very tasty and we had a variety of dishes and each of them was very good. 5/5

Great food, great evening, staff were attentive and helpful, Chris and Ange want to thank Sophie she was amazing for our birthday celebrations

A Verry nice place to eat food was so lovey staff was brill I took a group of 18 people and they did Verry good at getting the food all together would eat here again 10 out of 10 to all the staff

We went to Ashiana for a birthday and they were fantastic! Gave us complimentary Prosecco and couldn’t have done more for us! Saiqul the owner gave us gave us some amazing food recommendations and did us a dish off the menu. The food was amazing we definitely be returning

Excellent food but the restaurant was packed and very noisy. Difficult to hold a conversation. Next time it will be a takeaway!

We visit Ashiana most Fridays (usually for takeaway). I feel privileged to have this place on my doorstep. They consistently produce delicious curries which are authentic and full of flavour.. The best Balti I have had and the murgh chilli fry is a firm favourite of mine too. Sai and his team are so welcoming and always go the extra mile to look after their customers and they completely deserve the awards they receive.

An absolute gem of a restaurant. The food was awesome made even better by the welcoming hospitality of the lovely staff. A wonderful menu with lots of authentic choices, in nice surroundings. If you live near this place or are just passing through then definitely take the time to stop and eat here. You will not regret it!

more extensive and interesting cuisine. Lovely fresh naan bread. Extensive and interesting gin menu. Service was prompt and friendly. Delicious food with fresh ingredients.

Best Indian I’ve had in my life, amazing atmosphere and the staff are soo helpful. Sai and Jay are the best ever aswell as Sophie and Karina!

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere and the best staff! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and our waitress Soph was so friendly and accommodating. I’d recommend 10/10 xx

What an excellent meal for my sons 15th Birthday and this was his choice for dinner Everything was just perfect, such friendly staff, lovely location, amazing food, nothing could have been better. Thanks to all the staff for making his birthday meal a real enjoyable experience

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been! Service was just perfect, always helpful, we got whatever we asked for, even a drink which wasn’t on menu… Place was luxury, warm, very cozy, definetely would come back there 🥰 Prices were pretty high, not gonna lie, but worth it, because food was amazing!

I highly recommend this place!! The food quality is consistently outstanding with great customer service. The place has a great environment and caters for all with their wide menu choices. Best Indian yet!

Had such high expectations for the place due to the awards they had won, but were so disappointed! Table wasn’t ready on arrival, very slow service, we were booked in for 8.30, had some poppadoms around 9pm and the food was served just gone 10pm! Poppadoms and chutneys were nice, a couple of the main dishes were ok and the breads were good. One dish had coconut in it but this was not mentioned on the menu. My husband has a bad reaction when eating coconut so this did ruin the night! The waiter was incredibly rude to us when we complained. Granted, they did bring another dish but it was gone 10.30pm by this point so it wasn’t eaten. The couple of ladies we dealt with were lovely, particularly Sophie, who brought the bill and did take 50% off and apologise. Had so much better food and service at other places a third of the price. Maybe the awards have gone to some staff members heads, but when you’re at the top (as I believe from awards received they are) there is only one way to go. So you cannot afford to let standards slip which unfortunately we fell foul to!

Wow what a little jewel in Newark’s crown. Good food, good service, everything excellent. Will definitely return

Fantastic meal and service as always. Roshun Lamb Tikka was excellent. Highly recommended. Sai and Team do a brilliant job.

Awful Awful Awful Takeaway For The 2nd Time Here,Both Of The Meals Had Chicken For The Meat But The Chicken Was Dry And I Mean Dry The Keema Rice Again No Taste,The Nan Bread The Worst We Have Had It Had Very Little Meat In...

When entering the restaurant table not ready shown a table outside very cold until our table was ready,we moved inside and stood in hallway.

Lovely food and good wine, excellent service, and cleared up a bill enquiry with courtesy , would definitely go back.

First visit and most definitely won't be the last. Fantastic meal and staff to go with it. Couldn't believe how busy it was Highly recommend 👌

A really nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Very friendly service. Fantastic food. It was busy on a Thursday evening so I’d recommend booking. We were a group of 4, had popadoms, pickle tray, mixed starter, murgh chettinaad, lamb chettinaad, garlic naan and vegetable paratha. Lots...

We’ve had a couple of meals here before, and we tried a takeaway tonight. Absolutely beautiful! Great to have a local restaurant with such amazing food and service!

We had been to the football and pass this indian on our way home many times and this time decided to pop in. The food was really nice, especially the onion bahjis. Special shout out to Sophie, who was really polite and very knowledgeable about...

We have now been several times to this restaurant and have to say that both the food and service is excellent. The care they took to cater for my being coeliac was second to none and the gluten free chapati was wonderful. Nothing was too...

Yet another visit to what has become my number one spot and yet another dish ticked off the list. Ashiana is a little more expensive than your usual Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant but it's well worth the extra. You can taste the freshness in the food. The...

Been meaning to try this place for some time now (years!) and finally got around to going. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was lovely! Very fresh and piping hot, was very respectful to remove coriander from our dishes as my wife isn’t too keen....

This Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant is well worth travelling some distance to. I had the signature Lamb Taazdar dish which was amazing. Very succulent, tender and full of flavour rack of lamb. Service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant was busy even on a Monday...

Lovely food great friendly staff a bit pricey but worth it Great surroundings and busy so must be good

Excellent food,excellent staff full of information on all the dishes & couldn’t do enough for you,best curry in the area.

Service was exceptional as always, food was faultless. Best Indian restaurant for miles. Regular customer, would not go anywhere else.

Excellent Indian restaurant. We moved to Newark recently and this is the best Indian restaurant by farm. With some great recommendations and the offer of half meal portions we were able to try loads of the dishes and all were fantastic.

Best Indian I’ve ever had and the staff are amazing 10/10 it’s clean and looked after. Fast service and made to order

We've been a couple of times in the past few weeks. Gradually working our way through the menu. Honestly, the best curry for years, exquisitely cooked King Prawns, Jhinga Shashlik and Jhinga Tikka Masala. Fantastic team, service, bar and kitchens. So lucky to have this...

Another visit to Ashiana for a birthday treat and boy was it good. From the moment you walk through the door, you are looked after by the wonderful staff until you leave . Ashiana has become my favourite place to eat. We travel from Doncaster...

First visit but will be back again! Friends had recommended this place to me a few times and, finally got around to trying this evening! The staff are excellent and the food is amazing! Highly recommended the chilli fry! Can’t wait to visit again!

Great food and staff. We went early with family so the restaurant was a bit quieter. Food hot and flavoursome.

Delicious food, great service.. NOT in town but worth the drive (it's not far!) ..I love this restaurant BEST INDIAN for miles!!

Have visited the restaurant a few times now and not once have we been disappointed with the service, the food or the drinks. The staff are always very attentive to your needs and the chefs will prepare the curries to your taste without issue. Even...

Fabulous food once again. Cooked fresh & top quality. We travel 20 minutes to come here even for take aways. I am in love with the Mirch Masala. It is quite spicy with so much taste. However, on this occasion I tried a king prawn...

Easily the best restaurant in the area if not in the country. The food was exceptional & the staff were very attentive. Everyone in the family loved it. Also thanks for the glass.

This restaurant is ideally located just off the A1, so dropped in on our way home. Lovely friendly welcome, had a table next to the window. Huge menu to pick from, a mix of Indian and Bangladeshi food, if you want something a bit different,...

Its a decent Indian restaurant, but not exceptional. The bill did not reflect this..... £10 for popadams and pickles for for five people..... Nearly £20 for most mains and very low on portions in all pf the dishes. £220 spent across five people (£65 bar)....

We pass the sign for Ashiana on regular trips up and down the A1 but only once before, in 2009, have we had the chance to stop. 14 years on we discover it is above and beyond the quality we remember. The food is excellent,...

We went here last night for food heard so much about it and was really disappointed. Starters were just ok the mains were completely tasteless the hot food was just hot and no flavours at all. Will definitely not go back and if any one...

We went on New Year’s Eve as two couples we rang late in the day and staff were apologetic they didn’t have the time slot we requested but still managed to fit us in! The service was excellent and all 4 of us couldn’t compliment...

Second visit to Ashiana. The staff are fabulous, attentative but not pushy. The food is absolutely wonderful. It's a real dining out experience in really nice surroundings. Very highly recommended and well worth a visit. I can fully understand why they have won so many...

We went tonight for a birthday celebration and this is the best Indian meal I have had! I could tell all the food was made fresh and our main courses were absolutely amazing. The owner took the time to talk to us, which made us...

We visited Ashiana for the first time for an anniversary meal. It was midweek, so had no difficulty finding a table in a quiet corner so we could enjoy our ‘date night’ together. We received a warm welcome at the door and we took our...

We had been meaning to visit for ages but came away a little disappointed. The selection of veggie/vegan food was limited unless uou go for a load of side dishes. That said the curries were fresh, well cooked but not that memorable in terms of...

Not cheap, but beautiful surroundings, incredible food & good service. Extensive & unusual Asian Menu with the usual suspects available if wanted. One of the owners explained the menu was based on dishes his mother cooked him as a boy. Very good quality & excellent...

Lynn and I frequently either go to the restaurant or have a takeaway from here. We have been going there ever since it opened for business. Every body I’ve seen that have entered the Ashiana have always been made most welcome. The restaurant is immaculate...

Decided to go with friends for a meal on a Saturday in January. Surprised to find restaurant full when we arrived 7.15. Concerned there would be an issue with waiting times for food. Pleasantly surprised to find that the service was efficient but relaxed and...

Packed with customers, great atmosphere and delicious food. Had to wait for a table a little longer, however when the food arrived it was all worth it. 10000% coming back.

Lovely evening with family and freinds, busy evening for the Ashiana but food and service was spot on. Will return soon.

Top class food. What a place. This was my second visit to Asiana- this time with family, last time it was a meal with work colleagues. The food at Asiana is first rate with a good touch of class. The presentation of the food is...

Visited this evening for an anniversary meal. Food arrived and was miles spicier than any curry we have ever tried! Replaced with no issues with drinks but by the time the drinks arrived (after we had finished replacement food), we were told we needed to...

1st time visit to this fantastic restaurant. Very busy Saturday evening. Food and Service 1st class.. Will definitely head back soon.

Not been for a while due to work commitment, been craving the food here, I can’t explain how incredible this place is. Thank you

We visited for New Years after being recommended by a friend and it did not dissapoint! The restraunt was very busy when we arrived but the staff was very friendly and we were seated alot quicker than we expected for how busy they were. Spoilt...

We have driven past this restaurant many times and finally got round to eating here, great food with excellent service we shall be returning soon

The waiter and service was great. However the food was absolutely shocking! From such a place and price I would have expected fine banqueting. The food arrived was extremely bland and tasteless. This was supposed to be a in-house speciality dish! Very disappointing… It was...

Came for a last minute meal and the staff were very friendly and only took 20 minutes to get a table without booking. Food was incredible, will definitely be coming again!

Absolutely amazing place to eat, we will be making a reservation for our next visit at the Ashiana! 10 of 10 for every single aspect of our meal, and this is coming from people who know and love great food! The place is beautiful and...

We celebrated a friend's 80th birthday with a party of 50 at Ashiana and it was wonderful. Great service and excellent food. Hope to visit again soon!

Myself and 6 others visited on Saturday night for a meal. Made very welcome by happy and knowledgeable staff nothing was to much trouble. Service was fantastic and the food even better. We will all be visiting again soon. Best curry I’ve ever had. Thankyou...

Myself and 7 friends visted here Tuesday 29th November. We all had 2 courses and every single dish was superb. Additionally the devor and condition of the restaurant was immaculate. We all though it had only recently been refurbed but were informed that it has...

Local to the village so chose Ashiana based on past experience to celebrate 70th birthday. Great atmosphere and superb food. Staff excellent and did everything they could to make it a memorable occasion. We were allocated an excellent table for our party of 14 and...

Been coming to this restaurant over 2 years now, haven’t been disappointed one single time to date, what makes this place amazing is just not the food but the staff, they are so friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work. I’ll be back.

Far too long to deliver the meal. Food very good. Shame about the service. Problems with staffing in the kitchen. Takeaways should either be not taken or told later times. Not at the detriment of restaurant customers.

Excellent service for a Sunday it was busy we’ve never been so decided to book a table for my wife’s birthday after hearing many good things about ashiana, food was slightly delayed a little but was worth the wait! Each of the dishes was well...

Great venue , staff couldn’t do enough ,1 st visit will definitely we will going again and most important food was fabulous, thanks guys , great night , regards Mark and Karen

Without doubt the best Restaurant in Newark and surrounding area! Worth travelling from Grantham to sample the amazing food, clean place, friendly staff. Excellent service! 11 out of 10! Highly Recommend!

After visiting the Civil War Museum and Southwell races, the three of us booked into the Ashiana for a meal, a beautiful and airy restaurant. On thé advice of the owners, we ordered onion bhaji and grilled salmon for starters, mixed grill, a chicken sag...

Heading to Lincoln from Oxford we fell across this restaurant . Housed in a huge old pub is a fab atmosphere with some of the best food , staff , attentiveness & vibe! We felt so welcome from the moment we walked in to the...

The service and the food here were in fact excellent but when the foods not coming out of the kitchen quickly then it causes a huge backlog. We waited 50 minutes between courses which is just too long. Clearly there are problems in the kitchen...

What a lovely place to go. Great ambience and the food and service was second to non. Would highly recommend

The most delicious Indian/Bengali restaurant around which is why I frequently drive over 50 miles round trip to enjoy Ashiana’s delicious food. The team are welcoming, friendly & knowledgeable, nothing is too much trouble. The menu is extensive from classic favourite through to exquisite chef...

Went here with a mate early Wednesday evening, a warm welcome on arrival, staff were friendly and attentive without being pushy. We ate in the main restaurant which had a really relaxed atmosphere, plenty of tables but lots of space between tables to give a...

We have to drive past the castle cuisine which is 20miles closer to us who serve good food, but the Ashiana has just won me over for the quality freshly served ingredients in their food, sat outside underneath a great garden setting, we also booked...

14 of us went for a meal on Sunday evening, food was lovely. Service was a bit slow. Had a lovely evening till it came to paying the bill. The restaurant tried to charge us an extra £75. We obviously queried this. They then reduced...

Amazing food lovely people lovely settings staff very friendly it was a tad expensive but you pay for what you get highly recommend

Clean premises, nice garden area, Food was good, service was attentive but slow at times. Be careful of the hidden prices that are not advertised.

Our first visit and it was really good. Food - great selection (including several vegetarian options), it was very tasty and well presented. Staff - had three separate staff wait on us and all were very friendly and polite in a genuine manner and didn't...

I have passed the Ashiana restaurant on the roundabout at North Muskham many times and always noticed that it was very busy. A restaurant that popular definitely required a visit at sometime. So last night my partner and I decided to go there to celebrate...

Amazing food, fantastic customer service and amazing ambience. One of our favourite restaurants. The food is freshly cooked and very flavoursome. We would highly recommend this place.

Visited the Ashiana after 4 months, great food and service again, you can’t beat it. I’ve been looking forward to it all week, my freinds loved it and we will all return back. Thank you

I have just looked at my trip advisor reviews, and noticed that 10 years ago I gave Ashiana a 2 star review… so let me update you… For the past 3 years, Ashiana has been my ‘go to’ Indian restaurant for both dine in and...

Got to the restaurant at 6pm left at 11pm, do I need to say more, such friendly staff and atmosphere. Food is out of this world, it’s our absolute favourite Indian restaurant. The meals are always unbelievable and it doesn’t matter what we order It...

Really enjoyed the food at this place, we asked for 10 dishes but smaller portions as we wanted to try most of the food on the menu, great food and great bunch of staff, I’ve booked again to bring my family back. Thank you

I tell many people how good Ashiana is. Tonight we visited with a minibus full of staff from my local restaurant for a staff night out. I hoped that I hadn’t over promised how good the food was, but to hear the response from the...

Went to the Ashiana with friends last night. Could not fault anything. Food and service excellent. Not rushed to get out. We had a baby in our group and they were more than helpful if we required anything. Would recommend and will be returning. Many...

Had a fantastic meal here. The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was very busy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was tasty and served piping hot. Because they were so busy there was a delay before the main course arrived, but it...

Fab birthday Meal!🥳 We went to the Ashiana for my mothers birthday, we have been loads before it’s always gorgeous food and this didn’t disappoint either. I would recommend being more adventurous on the ashianas menu than you would usually, take a look into the...
