I feel ashoka is better than samrat in food quality, but samrat is cheaper.. Staff at ashoka are great,helpful and friendly.. Unfortunately we were sat at the table near the door so, with customers in and out, it was cold.. Defo recommend out of the 2 indian restaurant's in seaham..

I get currys in every city I go to around the world. It’s always a bit of an excitement and anxiousness about if you are going to get the best or just pay for disappointment. Well, I have a favourite curry restaurant in the city I live that is unbeatable, but I was sat eating deciding if this is my number one curry I’ve ever had. So delicious. Staff were awesome and the environment was nice. In Seaham? Want a beautiful meal? Just go here

Vegetarian options are poor. I ordered vegetarian biryani. It was a plate of rice with an insipid type curry with a tiny stalk of cauliflower and a piece of cabbage. The family had nice food but they all eat meat. It's not hard to cook tasty vegetarian food..this meal was dreadful. I could have sent it back but I'm always dubious of doing that. The naan bread was good fortunately! I won't hurry back

Nice and early, which I didn't mind at all, we've not had a curry for ages, so thought we'd treat ourselves and have one from here, sadly it was nothing to write home about, quite disappointing really compared to the last food we had from here plenty of chicken, and it looked nice, but lacked taste.

Bland food. 4 pieces of chicken tikka for a starter which cost £3.95. Chilli Nan bread which has never seen a chilli in its life was tasteless. Garlic pilau rice taste less. Waste of time complaining because it's takes another 45 mins for someone to deal with it!!! Ashoka is a joke!!!

I’ve been ordering from here for three glorious years, and let me tell you, this place is amazing. The food? Oh, it’s so delicious it should come with a warning label: “May cause spontaneous happy dances!” The staff? Oh so friendly and helpful! Here’s the best part: when I order takeaway, it arrives quicker than I can say “I’ll just have a salad”—and it’s always hotter than my last Tinder date! In three years, they’ve never messed up a single order. And yes, I once cheated on Ashoka with Harbour Tandoori, and let me tell you, it was a culinary disaster that left me in the corner, sobbing into a plate of sad curry. Never again! Ashoka, you had me at “Hello”, locked me in with your unbeatable bhuna and sealed the deal with your Shorisha. So here I am, declaring my love to the world: Ashoka, you are the pickle to my poppadom, the spice to my life, and the only place my heart (and stomach) will ever truly belong!

Most definitely will not be returning here for a meal, great service but shocking food. Prawn dish was burnt to taste and the prawns were like rubber. The other dish was called a madras chicken curry but I didn't recognise it at all, just a bland watery dish. Gave the propierter some feedback but was just asked me if I had asked to change the dishes, no offer of a reduction of price.

Dined on a Tuesday night. Didn't book and although fairly busy got a table for two no problem. Food is second to none, service is excellent with staff that can't do enough for you.

I had the worst customer service ever. We went there to have drinks. They gave us one table, then one waiter told us that you must order to have drinks. We planned to order a starter, even before that the senior waiter insisted that “you must order” any mains. Even after that all the other waiters were staring at us like we have done something wrong. Such a terrible experience. Even the manager was so arrogant.

That was the rudest customer service that I have ever had. Along with my friends we happened to bump into restro for drinks and it was so impolite that they were so adamant that and said we "should" order any mains from the menu, the way the waiter said that was the rudest experience that I ever had in the United Kingdom. All the staffs including the manager was disrespectful. As an individual who works in the customer service field, that was unacceptable.

Went with family for a birthday meal. Never really gave it a thought about it being bank holiday. The food was lovely as usual, staff excellent. Shame some other customers don’t consider others as the conduct of a group of 6 was appalling. Totally tanked up, foul language and very inappropriate conversations. Shame as the rest of the evening was lovely, but may want to think twice about booking later on a bank holiday weekend.

We dined for Mother’s Day lunch yesterday and we’re disappointed that there wasn’t an acknowledgment of Mother’s Day. However, the real disappointment was when we received the bill and discovered we’d been charged £25 for poppadoms and pickles, of which we didn’t stipulate how many we required. La Raj has always been on the pricey side but as the food is usually of excellent quality, it wouldn’t be an issue - we’ve also had numerous takeaways which you are required to collect and pay cash which isn’t always convenient. The price point is just to excessive and unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

We’ve eaten here many times. Last year I found out I was intolerant to dairy and eggs. Last night the waitress came over to take our order I told have about my intolerances. She got the manager who said everything had ghee in it, I was shocked with his statement most places just fob you off to make money and take a chance on contamination. I really appreciated his honesty, obviously values customer more than money. We left and had the normal steak and chips from a pub. Before I knew about my intolerances I would have the Naga Len…. It’s dynamite!

Very sorry to say had takeaway of lamb ticka dish and special balti l. ast night Feb. 15th. but was extremely disappointed. The lamb was very tough, my wife's dish, and my balti didn't have much content to it nice spice but not much in way of meat etc. Very unhappy with regard to the price of £39 for two meals. Always had nice sit down restaurant food but this was very poor, unlikely to order takeaway away again from here.

I was going to go until I saw the food hygiene rating. I won't list it here because it could improve and be re inspected. Hopefully they will have a higher score than when I went but decided not to buy food due to the rating. I cannot comment any more than this. You can street park near by.
