Ashoka Ashton Lane in Glasgow City

This is a top notch Indian restaurant serving stunning Indian dishes. Lovely decor and ambience. Friendly and efficient staff. One of the best Indian restaurants that I have ever been to and will definitely return again hopefully soon.

Amazing food, compliments to the chef. The service was equally impressive. Our waitress, Nisha was so polite and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

Food was amazing and great service from our waitress Kitta! The haddock pakora & butter chicken was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Sensible menu offering most dishes as Main or Side size, so a couple of starters and three sides was plenty for the two of us. Only slight issue was the limited wine list but all our dishes were absolutely first class.

First time visit for most of us, absolutely loved the food and great service throughout. I tried something spicier than my usual level, very nice but an enjoyable challenge! We shared the massive naan bread which took up half the table, delicious! Looking forward to returning again soon.

Normally have a great food in Ashoka but last night I wasn't really impressed with the food, the starter of mixed pakora was nice and tasty but main course was not warm and some of the dishes were disappointing.

On recent visit to Glasgow I looked up best Indian restaurant and GlasgowWorld came up trumps. Food was delicious and included great vegetarian options for the two vegetarians in our party. Sagg aloo was outstanding, as were several other dishes especially the bhoona. All round great.

Very disappointing meal. Chicken tikka was bland and tasteless - beer was as flat as the nan bread. Madras had all the correct flavour profiles but meat was dry and stringy. Wife now has food poisoning from the chicken tikka.

It's the Ashton Lane Ashoka, been coming for 20 years and it's as good now as it ever was. Had the Dhansac, mushroom rice and garlic naan. seriously good.

One of the best curries in Glasgow!

Nice family drinks and dinner. Food excellent. Drinks expensive but in keeping with that end of town. Good atmosphere. Best booking.

Overcooked chicken, dry naan & hardly any sauce! Really disappointing….. won’t be ordering again.

Don't even bother. Sat in the upstairs of the restaurant which gives off fast food/cafe vibes, servers running in and out of the kitchen with home deliveries (clearly they prioritise them over sit in customers), could also see there was tension with the manager and a staff member I believe. 40-50 minute wait on starters and it only got worse when the mains came out and every single one of my dishes had hair in them. We walked in to see a table behind us left all of their drinks sitting because they clearly didn't like the wait either, wish I just done the same as them.

Great little place with friendly staff and incredible food!

This is an authentic Indian restaurant. Interesting decor that ranges from traditional, to industrial, and even a gothic theme in one part of the upstairs. We thought the food was excellent, pickles chef made and full of flavour and spice. Chicken dishes succulent and beautiful flavoured. Service was faultless and Bindye was helpful and friendly despite this being her first week. Great food at good value. The wine was also very good.

Our 2nd visit to Ashoka - travelled up from London to see family .Exquisite meal in an ambience that is highly inviting and welcoming - Staff are excellent and we need to commend our server Kitta, who not only gave excellent advise but ensured our every need was catered for . Thank you - see you again when we visit Glasgow !

Food here was absolutely delicious. Customer service excellent and decor very lovely.

Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. Service staff very attentive and accommodating. Gladly again soon 🇮🇳 🍛

Amazing food, amazing vibes and environment, and Mansi our table assistant was amazing very helpful, and helped us to describe what is the food. Recommended and good food, it is not cheap specially for the rice and bread. Per Person minimum 22

Another excellent meal. Really quick service and relaxed experience. Highly recommend. Our waiter Sai was very efficient.

We had a wonderful dinner with delicious Indian food, an amazing atmosphere and super kind staff. We highly recommend it if you’re visiting Glasgow!

First time in this restaurant loved the whole atmosphere of Byres Rd/ Ashton Lane food was amazing could not fault anything the staff were very attentive and could not have done more the person I was with is vegetarian so had a wee taste which I actually liked (although between you and me I'll stick to my chicken) highly recommend if your in the area 5*

Delicious food with great friendly attentive staff, especially Sai. The best Indian I have ever had.

This wee place does one of the nicest deserts. I always have to get it delivered when im craving the most amazing sweet treat.

Delicious food 100% recommend - I had the best ever mattar paneer and garlic naan. And lovely service from Mansi 🩷

The food was very average…the service was dreadful they cleared each plate as a person finished instead of waiting till everyone was finished at the table! We asked for one more round of drinks and were told the bar was closed at 10.45pm when it clearly says on their website they are open till midnight…the staff obviously just wanted to go home early! We won’t be back!

I'm sorry but it's not what it once was. It seems to have lost its ambiance. Everything is incredibly spicy. Service is really rushed. They've taken their eye off the ball. It's still great, but not as good as it once was. Oh...and it's become SO expensive!

Hideous quality :( Gone seriously downhill.....

Very good food and enjoy that you are able to see into the kitchen. Good service and atmosphere. Visited a number of times and will certainly return

Wow, this place is one of my favourites...The Food is so delicious, full of flavour and always fresh. Staff is very friendly...Thank you, and see you soon.

Amazing food and brilliant service, fantastic vegan options too! Love it here. We were served by the lovely Akshay and Andria!

best authentic indian food i had in glasgow worth it ordered garlic cheese nan/ butter chicken and veggie rice / veggie pakora and veggie samosa

Brilliant curry house. Prices aren't too expensive either.

Excellent dishes, great atmosphere and excellent service from our waitress Diksh. The pakoras are delicious. Absolutely worth trying.

Really good restaurant . Naisha is a really nice waitress . Dishes and wine are awesome.

Overall this was just really bland, I had to salt everything to bring out just even a little bit of enjoyable flavour. Nothing special for a £30 takeaway! Maybe I chose boring dishes, but the Chicken Makhani Masala had a bit of a cheap tomato soupy flavour to it - wouldn’t recommend at all. The Saag Paneer wasn’t brilliant either. The best part was the pilau rice! The portion size and size of naan is good, so it has that going for it. I can only sum it up by saying that I’m not looking forward to having leftovers :( Also for near £30 you should really be throwing in a couple free poppadoms, they shouldn’t be a pound a pop!!!

Amazing meal fish pakora is just outstanding lamb curry Amazing its been year last time I've had one as good stafe very nice that helps

Food is too good! Been here a few times and so good! :D

Hopeless. I wanted to order a take away so called 5 times. No answer. Then tried the link on their website. Broken. Then walked to the restaurant and tried to place an order only to have to go through it 3 times as I couldn't accurately guess what was included in the package I choose. The staff didn't seem to want help, rather they wanted to moan every time I got it wrong. It was like some mild form of Squid Game.

Staff great, food also fantastic!!

Went for lunch small plates and it was great - was able to try 2 different dishes for the price of one

Absolutely outstanding. Every dish we had was superb. One of the best I have ever had.

Ideal for me and my friend as we had a delicious curry from their small plates menu at lunchtime ...Great value .. Server very attentive and smiling .We will definitely go again...

I felt it was quite limiting for dietary issues. Not a lot of veggie options, no salads. Mostly grains, rice, carbs, meat dishes.

Great food as usual and service. Fabulous. Excellent once again both service and food. Chaitali was a wonderful waitress, thank you. Still excellent.

Very nice restaurant. Especially enjoyed their small plates that allow you to try out different dishes

Been here on numerous occasions and absolutely no complaints. We normally go at 4.30pm and get the small plate menu which is available daily from 12-5pm. However on this occasion we were given the a la carte menu, when we asked for the small plate menu, we were told it had to ordered at 4pm, I politely advised the staff member that they should alter their website to say that as when we made the booking we were advised that we could get the small plate menu. We went ahead and ordered from the main menu. Pakora arrived 5 pieces (£5.50), main course was nice. On finishing our meal a waiter promptly arrived and cleared our table,we were not offered a sweet menu or coffee/tea, As we were settling our bill, we noticed 2 waiters standing quite close on either side of our table and one waiter standing at the exit door,as we left the table one of the waiters proceeded to lift the payment then nodded to the waiter at the exit door who then moved away from the door and didn't even acknowledge us. This was not a pleasant experience for my colleague and I hence the poor rating.

Just brought home a takeaway portion of veg pakora. £4.85 for 5 pieces of burn dried out veg. Not edible and really disappointing.

Really enjoyed the food For starters we got chicken masala puri and mixed only thing that wasn’t great was the veg pakro rest was lovely… for mains we got paneer saag 10/10 and achri chicken partner really enjoyed we will back service was fast and server was spot on and friendly

Lovely spot. Nice food and service.

Can't go wrong with the Ashoka. First class always

We used Ashoka Ashton Lane as we had certain dietary requirements gluten free and vegan. But our last 3 or 4 Indian takeaways from here have been totally different to the previous one before it looked different and tasted different. From a restaurant you'd expect them to be working from a specific set of ingredients for each dish, but apparently not here, they seem to just wing it as they go. So if you're looking to be surprised by how your dish will look and taste then this is your place, it certainly won't be the same as last time. So we're finished with Ashoka and will try some places else in the West end.

Amazing food,AAA+,you will not be disappointed.

Had Starters, Main and Desert. All really good. Staff brilliant. 💯💯

Absolutely wonderful service and lovely food, but an extra £1.50 for mango chutney?? Never been charged for that in an indian restaurant before… besides that it was lovely and the servers were really friendly!

The food is a flavour filled taste bud explosion of fine Indian cuisine. If you want it a little hotter just ask and don’t forget the elephants ear nan bread. Staff are friendly and look after your every need, this truly is a gem amongst the back streets…

My partner and I took our friend who was over visiting from Italy to Ashoka Ashton lane for lunch. We ordered South Indian garlic chilli lamb and creamy chicken jalfrezi with a giant naan and a side of pilau and mushroom rice. The portions were excellent and beautifully presented we are all so full. The curry was to die for. The meat was cooked to perfection. The South Indian garlic chilli is spicy but my partner and I love our spice so it was ideal for us. We finished the meal with espresso which was also excellent. The service was outstanding, we were served by Chaitali and her male colleague (who we unfortunately never got the name of) and they were both so happy to explain the items on the menu and serve us with a lovely smile. The restaurant was immaculate we all had such a perfect lunch at Ashoka Ashton lane and I can’t wait to return.

As we had a party of 15 they were very patient even interacting with the kids ..would definitely go again..food was wonderful staff amazing and attentive .. .

A big group of us had a great time celebrating our friends birthday at Ashoka tonight! We all really enjoyed our meals, super tasty and the service from our waitress Chaitali was amazing. Thanks for a great night :)

This place has gone sharply downhill. It used to be the finest curry house in Glasgow, but it's now a pale imitation of its former self. My curry was turgid and contained very little chicken. What used to be stunning large naan bread came as small industrial waffles. The rice was nice. The service was pleasant although, sitting close to the bar, I was a little concerned with how female serving staff appeared to be treated by male managers. It's interesting, and perhaps telling, that this restaurant appears not to engage with Google reviews. One to avoid for a long while. I'm returning to Chaakoo and Rishi's, both of which remain excellent.

We are in Glasgow visiting family, 6 of us we went to Ashoka tonight. We had a lovely time, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was really vibrant. A big shout out to Rowan who took our order and served our table, she was lovely, helpful and friendly, thank you 👍

Awful take away…have used Ashoka in the past but this is a bland greasy tae away. I’d recommend you not bother for a home delivery Delivery was fast and the delivery guy was nice

Dropped into this lovely West End curry house for a quick early evening meal before heading to the City Centre. The ambiance was relaxed, the food excellent and the service pretty intense (but probably because we had made it clear we were in a hurry!) Can recommend the Lamb Dhansac. Maybe a little on the pricey side - £8.50 for one rice and one garlic nan.

The food was absolutely amazing and the friendly service from Chaitali really made me feel very welcome. Will definitely be retiring

Had a lovely meal with friends, excellent service from Gaurav and his colleagues. We shared small plates which let us try lots of different delicious dishes, we thoroughly enjoyed them all. Great value for both the food and wine.

Food was great and tasty and the atmosphere was lovely. Gaurav was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you're in Glasgow!

Best curry house in Glasgow! We’ve been coming here for years. The food and the service is fantastic. Gaurav always looks after us, he is always so friendly and welcoming! 10/10 🤩

Great service from Diksh! Very quick and polite! Food was good but spicy - delightful! See attached photo for proof of joy

I recommend this spot, we were served by a lovely waiter called Chaitali. Extremely accommodating, welcoming, made our experience great without any hitch

Me and my dad both had a lovely time here! They have amazing vegan options, and our waitress Chaitali was very friendly and helpful! Thanks for the food and a good evening! :)

Always fantastic food and very friendly server (Khushi) !

Great food, and brilliant service from Chaitali. Staff attentive without being intrusive. Would definitely come back.

Lovely meal and the small plates are ideal. More than enough. Will be back

Excellent food and fabulous service from Gaurav and Cancella who were so friendly. Would 100% recommend and will be back

As always a delicious meal. Service by our waiter,Gaurav, and the rest of the team was efficient and friendly. This was my third visit to this restaurant and each time has been thoroughly enjoyable.

Staff are absolutely wonderful, food amazing. We had a great night, would highly recommend the Ashoka. One problem though - the group of people loitering outside the front door is off putting for non locals, could be intimidating for tourists, they were harassing people. Unfortunately...

Excellent food. Maitre De Gaurav was brilliant. Atmosphere was really nice. Service was very fast. Good value for money.

Chaitali and hriday made our meal even more spectacular with their service .

My partner and I visited Ashoka in Ashton lane last night. We are regular customers and have liked the restaurant since day 1. The food is always delicious and portions are quite large. The bill is always very cheap. Last night our experience was made...

Can’t fault the food or the staff. The food was 10/10 and the service was amazing the staff were so attentive especially our server Diksh! Would recommend

Amazing food with great service. We had a lovely lunch, very friendly and welcoming. Best Indian in Glasgow. Thankyou Gaurav and Sanjeev. X

The small lunch menu was perfect for us. Food was tasty, fresh and plentiful. Gaurav was very efficient and helpful. Great service.

Gaurav was amazing!!! Such great service and friendly person ! Food amazing! Giant nan was just fantastic! Another girl came on at the end of our service and she was also super friendly. Will be back !!!!

Served by Diksh, she was lovely, cheery, welcoming and very accommodating! Highly recommend, amazing prices for the quality of food

We had the most amazing curries tonight with brilliant service from Gaurav, a super friendly and lovely waiter. A fun family meal out. Ashoka never fails to deliver!! The best curry in Scotland.

Came here for a Valentine's dinner and both service and food we're brilliant thanks to gaurav especially for taking care of us for the whole night

Went here for valentines dinner. Had a fantastic time and the food is excellent ! Our server, Chaitali was very attentive and lovely. We will definitely be returning

Did not expect much but absolutely fell in love with the place! Came here for my first date and the vibe was perfect. We ordered Mughlai Qorma as per Rachael's recommendation, and I can say it has easily become one of my favourite places to...

Saw my family for the first time in a while and took them to Ashoka. The butter chicken was amazing! Thank you to the chef and all the staff, especially our server Rachael, she made the experience so comfortable for us. Will definitely be coming...

Atmosphere nice and staff good. Vegetable curry was poor. Lacked flavour, onions and peppers (3 pieces) that were in it were were raw and it lacked vegetables. The main vegetable being potato. Disappointing

We visited Ashoka for a family special occasion. The food was delicious so well spiced and balanced. Our server Varsha was really helpful and cheery. We will definitely return next time we are in Glasgow.

The sauces are too rich in tomato. They are made up separately and added to the meat of your choice a bit like a Subway sandwich. Food was really poor. I'll stick to.mother India. Definitely more authentic and what I'm used to when I vitmsit India

Thought the guy on the till in the afternoon about 3 on Saturday 3 February. Was extremely arrogant borderline rude ! Not a good experience. Carry out was poor taste

The staff were so attentive, present ,but not pushy. The cleanliness of the restaurant and the toilets just added to the experience. The assurance from the staff on the food choices reassured you of your choice. Good portions and quality throughout.

Cosy restaurant with great delicious food. Food portion is big - well worth the money! Large selection of vegan and veg dishes too! Our Asst Ms Chaitali’s - she was friendly and very professional!

Had a lovely dinner with my friends here. Our waiter Gaurav was super friendly and helped us choose our food with the best recommendations. Very cosy atmosphere and accommodating staff. Definitely will come again!

I've never eaten a bad meal here! The food was really delicious and our server Gaurav provided impeccable service 😄😄 it wasn't my first time eating here and I'll definitely be back. P.s if your wondering if you should eat the Gulab Jamin for dessert,...

I went with my friend (she's a vegan) and we ordered off the small plates menu and it was all very yummy and the portions were very good value for money. Chaitali served us and she was very nice. I'd definitely go back. The prawn...

Great service, amazing paneer curries, wholesome atmosphere. Garlic naan is a must try! Rice portions massive, don't get me started on the pint, great experience all round.

Very nice. Food delicious. Reasonable prices. Will be back.
