Ashoka in East Dunbartonshire

Todos disfrutamos del comienzo de nuestra comida con pakora de verduras. A partir de entonces esperamos 45 minutos más para nuestro plato principal mientras veíamos comida para llevar en bolsas de transporte saliendo de la cocina para su recogida. Hubiera sido más rápido haber pedido estos en su lugar y comido en casa. Dos de los miembros del grupo habían pedido curry de langostino. Cuando nuestros platos principales finalmente llegaron nos sentimos muy decepcionados porque en lugar de gambas reales nos dieron pequeños camarones que probablemente salieron de un paquete congelado. No regresaremos.

Best Indian food in ages...Fish panoramic, stunning.....and with impeccable service from Isla. Will be back I am sure.

ORDERED MEAL DEAL FOR TWO AND MEAL DEAL FOR ONE. THE FOOD WAS DISGUSTING, SALTY, BLAND, AND THE LAMB DISHES WERE EXTREMELY TOUGH. THIS FOOD WAS NOT ASHOKA STANDARD. WILL DEFINITELY BE AVOIDING THE ASHOKA, BEARSDEN

Takeaway delivery. Really poor and expensive food. For £21 I got inedible pakora. I work in a restaurant that makes good veg pakora. I know what it is supposed to taste like. Also another Bearsden takeaway Dining In makes nice pakora. This was dry and inedible. The veg korma is disappointing. Why no decent veg? Cauliflower...pepper, actual nice mushrooms. Terrible meal. £21 ... Saturday night treat ruined

Best Chicken Rogan Josh I have ever had, and I have tried many over the years. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely meal for our mum's birthday! Great service with a smile especially from our waitress Uditi. Food was delicious especially Gulab Jamun!

Friday night Teatime satisfaction. Just wanted a quick tasty meal and that's what we got. Really enjoyed the mixed vegetables.

The food was lovely. A great choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes. Service, from Uditi was great. Thoroughly recommend it.

My husband and I popped in for a spontaneous Monday night dinner which was excellent. Uditi's service was a highlight in particular. First time visiting and will definitley be back!

Service was excellent, Mia made sure that we had everything we needed and that it arrived quickly and exactly as ordered!

Excellent food, very tasty, good choice in vegan menu, while my partners chicken curry was very well cooked..all the staff were attentive, polite and the service Uditi gave us was excellent. Prices was reasonable. Will definitely return

What a disappointment with our carry out….this restaurant used to be great but have to say has gone down hill big time. Both curries were very salty, not a lot of chicken and Nan bread left a lot to be desired. Won’t be back

Dropped in for a quick bite to eat on a Monday evening in November, all the staff we encountered were really pleasant and personable, food was good, my Rogan Josh was really tasty and well cooked. Great selection of vegan/ veggie choices on the menu. Our server Nicole was really helpful and we enjoyed our meal so much we decided to order a take away for our son, this came quickly, all in all a good experience

Was a wonderful Dinner at the Ashoka Bearsden, have been coming here since it was built on the location. Can tell you honestly that it has improved in every aspect as we are now in 2023 compared to what it was like in the 1990's. Food was outstanding across the Table of Family & Friends - mine was a damn fine 'South Indian Garlic Chilli' - Chicken was done better than anywhere else I've been frankly. Staff were excellent & attentive enough to support a fine 'Dining Experience'. Passing a highlight to Nicole who was on our Table - she was great & supported the experience very well. Credit is passed to Nicole & I also wish to pass thanks & credit to the Chef's who really are top class in my opinion. A very good Restaurant - my feelings. Regards

Ordered chicken tika massala x spicy and one creamy plus nan bread /rice. Pakora v good. Chicken was raw and certainly not tika- couldn't eat it-was disgusting. Waited over half an hour for some replacement chicken tika. Nan bread was doughy. All in a disgusting night- were not even offered a complimentary drink and tried to charge us/rip us off for the original meals which we ordered. Will never return!

Ordered a takeaway meal for our family at the weekend. Was first time we had chosen to order from Ashoka in a while. The food arrived late, it was stone cold, dried out and frankly one of the worst curries I can remember. We will never return here. No idea what’s happened to the Ashoka but whatever it is, it’s not good.

Had a take-away and was very disappointed - 3 starters and 3 mains with rice and nan and chips. Chicken panoramic was very dry and chewy and unfortunately we got 2 chicken panoramic instead of 1 chicken and I mixed. Chasni was absolutely tasteless and I'm an expert on chasni 😒 to make matters worse my grand-daughter found a hair in hers (thankfully she is a child and that kind of thing doesn't put them off their food) xx the chips were stone cold therefore unable to eat. I tried to call the restaurant but unfortunately no answer ( I know its a very busy restaurant) soo that's why I am writing the review as I've not been able to speak to them.

Grabbed a carry out meal for 2 a couple of nights ago , rarely review food , but feel compelled to comment on the sub-standard offerings. Mixed Pakora was pretty tasteless, some of it very greasy - yuck. The Aloo Poori looked as bad as it tasted . My wife ordered a Chilli Chicken dish that she only ate half of ( a first ) , and my Chasni was unrecognisable- a thick gooey tasteless sauce that probably came out of a jar . Never again .

Visited Ashoka Bearsden for a birthday meal with family for a much needed curry. High expectations as been a few times before over the years. Food was great and service from our waitress (Uditi) was excellent. The restaurant had a warm atmosphere and was surprisingly...

Nice relaxing atmosphere with great food and service. Pakora is the best I’ve tasted - both vegetable and fish

Went here for a family meal on a quiet Wednesday, had a range of very tasty Currys. What really stood out though was Uditi, our server. She was very accomodating and friendly and was generally very lovely. Would come back in a heartbeat. Thanks Uditi!

Great food, very attentive staff. Starter really nice, mains great, fair price for good food. Would defo go back.

The most delicious Indian food I’ve had in ages! Cannot fault it. Had two tofu curries and naan and the vegetable pakora! 10/10 - so delicious and brilliant value for money!

Currently the best Indian in Glasgow in terms of food quality and our server Savi was charming and accomodating.

Excellent service from our waitress Savi! She was so attentive and quick. Food was absolutely delicious, and they have amazing vegan / vegetarian options. They take allergies very seriously too! Excellent value for money, big portions, would absolutely recommend

Fantastic family meal. The staff were fantastic, particularly Siva. She was so attentive, friendly and knowledgable. The food was delicious, particularly the rogan josh. Will definitely be back.

Wow! Amazing and fresh food! I got the Tandoori Jhinga Prawns- biggest and best prawns I’ve ever had! We also had the started platter- excellent selection. Service was great- lovely staff who were quick and efficient. Uditi was our assistant- but all were fab

Small plates menu available in early evening has lots of interesting, tasty dishes and is great value for £! Highly recommend.

We had a lovely night at the Ashoka Bearsden. The food was delicious and portion sizes were good. Savi, our server, was very polite and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Lovely restaurant. Food was lovely and staff were attentive. Good value for money. Table of 9 and everyone enjoyed everything.

A regular dinner meeting for my friend & me, never fails to produce good food, on time with pleasant service. On this occasion we were looked after by Shivi: very polite & attentive. On previous occasions Uditi has attended to us & she is equally...

Very slow service and average food. Not what we have experienced before and really disappointing. Pakora was ok, served quickly and fresh. Main course then took just over another 20 minutes to arrive. We got an apology saying it was busy but several tables had...

Fabulous service by Uditi and team. We had Shakuti Korma and Desy Jalfrezi, food was wonderfully spicy....excellent! 10/10 Ashoka.

Good quality food at reasonable price level. Service very attentive by Savi. Cobra lager on tap nice and cold. No skimping on the curry sauces and usually enough left over to take home.

Few months have passed since we last visited The Ashoka in Bearsden and as usual we weren't disappointed . After a hard day avoiding the showers trying to make the garden look a big better, we decided to go for an early evening meal at...

Fantastic food and excellent service. Great family meal out. Server was Uditi who was fabulous, super friendly and an excellent server

Had a graduation celebration meal tonight. All was good except the poori, heavy and greasy, but the garlic mushrooms were very tasty. Served very well by Shivangi, thank you.

Great service from Savi and all staff welcoming and attentive. Food was lovely. Great night for a birthday celebration!

Great service from Shiuanga ( hope I have spelt that right). Manager went way above and beyond great service by offering a replacement main course as I chose one i didn't really like. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening. We will be back !!.

Delicious dinner for six. Great food, excellent service from Savi who was very attentive to everyone. Looking forward to coming back.

Savi the waitress is friendly and helpful! And the food is amazingly good! The decoration os the restaurant decoration is beautiful too

Great food and great service. Savi, our assistant, was kind and friendly. Would recommend. Great place for Indian food in Bearsden.

Friendly staff but the curries were disappointing to much salt getting added chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka we had and veg pakora pretty disappointing

Want along on a quiet early weekday night and decided to try the small plates menu. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, the spiced onions also really good. Staff really friendly especially our server Shivangi. All in a really pleasant night .

Very good meal and service by Savi, took the kids for 1st time and they enjoyed all the lovely food.

Excellent food, great service from Savi and colleagues. Relaxed dining without any compromise on quality.

Ordered a take away and was severely disappointed. Terrible curries. One Chasni which tasted so much of vinegar it was inedible, also not the usual colour and didn't taste of any curry we have had before. A chicken Tikka dansak which tasted nothing like the...

We had limited time & severUditi made sure we were served within timeframe. Food delicious, lovely flavours.

It was quiet when we went -good service, very helpful. The food is great. No complaint except the toilets could do with a bit of an upgrade. I near slid off the pan. But apart from that great.

A wet Wednesday, we were the only customers. Food was really good as usual and the service was great, Uditi our waitress was very attentive.

We popped in on passing and it was a lovely meal. Uditi made us feel welcome and provided excellent service. The chicken pakora was beautifully cooked and the curry dishes were fantastic. Only negative was that we couldn’t finish our meals as we were full...

Just finished a take away meal. My wife and daughter shared a King Prawn Patia - for King Prawns as opposed to prawns the premium is £5.50 making a cost for this dish £14.95. Guess how many King Prawns? Four! yes FOUR! Unbelievable! Taste wise...

As usual, the food in an Asoka was great. Lamb Bhuna and Chicken Chasni both hit the mark but the standout for the evening was the service from Saniya who was simply excellent. Knowledgeable, efficient and extremely friendly. Perfect.

We had a lovely dinner here: can highly recommend the small plates menu - you get to try lots of different dishes at a great price and not overly filling. Served by Saniya, she was fantastic, we'll be back.

Having lived in Aberdeen for 30 years, I have never been to Ashoka before. What a super experience for several different reasons- the exceptionally attentive, friendly staff, the quality and authenticity of the food and the cost of the meal- extremely reasonable. Thank you so...

I have been coming here for years and it has been consistently the best Indian Restaurant in the Milngavie/Bearsden area. The service last time we were there provided by Saniya was great. All in all, highly recommended.

Visited the Ashoka for the first time last night. Lovely place and the food was great. Slight hiccup with our order from the kitchen staff but was handled well, with a complimentary glass of bubbles to acknowledge. The staff, especially Gracie, were warm, friendly and...

This classy Bearsden Indian restaurant has been around under different ownership for nearly 40 years, but now under new management it has raised it's game. The first thing I noticed was that we were shown to our table and asked if the selection of table...
