Ashoka Shak - Dundee in Dundee City

The waitresses were not keen to see people, they should be taught the science of serving people. They were just throwing the food on the table like they didn’t care. Either lack of guidance or a lack of will to work was behind this. Food was good as we all know Nando’s ways, just that the service time was so long. It took them around 20 mins to give away simple dessert with ice cream which should take minutes and the waitress threw that in table. They should be taught the politeness needed for serving food. I like to tip for the hard work most of the time but there were none. I hope the brand like Nando’s should look into this. Brilliant food, interior but zero service..

Great food and great service, delicious 😋,back here again, just as good as the last time 😋

I have always felt Nandos is great at what it does. It is a reliably quick and consistently good meal when out and about. This restaurant is the best one in the area to nip into when at the cinema or ice skating. We went in at 1830 on the Thursday when Deadpool And Wolverine was released and by 1905 the pair of us had enhoyed exactly the meal we were expecting and made our film in plenty of time, despite the tables all being full and turning over very quickly. The staff were a credit to Nandos that night for how smoothly they had the whole operation running.

Resteraunt looks dated and tired. Loud music was coming from the kitchen. Food was to standard

Karen’s One small act. That is all you need to make people’s day. The chicken I ordered was a bit small and Karen (our server), she gave me extra chicken and rice for that and that thoughtful act just deserve some recognition. Btw the food is amazing!

We ordered vegetarian food 1st time and it was yummy. It was ready when I went there to collect, 2 chaps who severed were very friendly.

Food was ok. The first time the staff were really rude, but then the second and third time the staff were super friendly and lovely. 2/3 times the air conditioning was absolutely blasting so it was really cold. Not the cleanest - mushroom growing in the toilets and generally just a bit grubby. It can get very busy and the poor staff are rushed off their feet.

We are regulars - the staff know us and always have a chat. They know our favourite table is no 30. A big thank you to Kev and all his hard working staff. You are the best. See you all soon

Staff very helpful and Very kind, great customer service and food. Had a couple issues no fault of the staff and this was quickly resolved and refunded thanks to martyn.

Great fast friendly service from the staff. Food come out pretty quick and was hot. Can't ask for much more.

Everyone is happy here including the vegetarians. Good system for families and groups.

Food was excellent, but service was poor. Starter and main arrived at the same time which meant the main course was cold by the time we started to eat it so not an enjoyable experience. Won't be back

Just as the tin says all top marks

Always a great meal at Nando’s Dundee. Kayla served us today (Friday) great customer service and made us all feel welcome. It’s always busy but all’s the staff work and continue to give a consistent quality and service. Thanks !

Got the half chicken with mash and corn. this was so nice and the selections of sauces are brilliant I highly recommend the lemon and herb sauce. My partner got a burger and the same sides. portions are good and worth the money. there were no issues and the chocolate dessert was so good.

Nice place for an informal meal. Amongst 4 adults and 2 children, we had the new garlic burger, sunset burgers and half a chicken as well as various sides. Everything was really well cooked and tasty.

Very nice meal, superb service from Sarah, will visit again

Clean, food is always on point and staff are very helpful and friendly. It's Nando's so they do one thing and one thing only I.e. chicken. I recommend their supergrain sides, tenderstem brocoli and any other veggie sides, defo a keto friendly menu for me.

The food was absolutely divine. In fact I'm drooling 🤤 just thinking about it. I had a mushroom and halloumi wrap.

Great... Just the wait can be long sometimes.

Great food and excellent service by friendly, happy staff. Customers entering and leaving kept leaving the door open so we were getting an icy draft which spoiled things a bit.

Best Nandos I have had in a while. Even though it was busy, we still got food quickly and staff were on top of keeping everything clean. Food was really tasty.

Fantastically good food. Great variety in the menu.

1st day of mu sons uni journey everywhere was packed found this wee gem, we are all vegetarians and this was the first visit to nandos for a few of us. Really surprised by their vegan options dinner was delicious and portions huge

Very friendly staffs! Food is good as always

It's just another Nandos, but with that you get the consistency you know to love and respect. Tasty chicken goodness.

Love this place. Staff are always incredibly friendly, food always hot and tasty, and they are super chilled about us bringing a toddler in with all the extra mess that creates. Also they are amazing with allergies. Best Nando's I've been to so I keep coming back.

Easy fast food place. Slightly overpriced for overcooked grilled chicken. Quite a loud atmosphere, as to be expected.

Been here a few times and it's not as good as my local Nandos. It's OK but just not as good

We visit this branch of Nando's quite often for a quick bite to eat. And it is always consistently good experience. Plenty choices of tables, helpful and polite staff, quick service and tasty food. No complaints from our family. Definitely worth to pay a visit

Staff very helpful and the grub was tasty.

Same as every other nandos you have to search for a clean fork and knife

I don't get it, why is there such a hype around nandos?!? My partner and I went as we'd not been there in years and we won't be back ever unless we want to waste money on not great food 🤢 we shared three starters, the best being the sweet potato wedges one but when it came to the mains I had a sunset burger of which the sauce tasted more lemon and herby than the chicken?? Thought the chicken was meant to be the star here? Thankfully my chicken was not overcooked unlike my partners but like, the sauces... now I know I like spicy food... but these med/hot sauces are just spice with no flavour. The best thing on my plate was the rainbow coleslaw which is poor considering nandos is meant to be about the chicken... if you want my advice? Save some money and go to KFC... or go hom and make better chicken yourself 😊

Food was 'fine', could easily do better at home with a grill and some sauce from a shop. Service was a bit absent, quickly got a table, but was promptly told to just order using the app and go get all our stuff (cutlery, napkins, sauces) ourselves. Felt like I may as well just be at a mcdonalds. Haven't been in probably a decade, and after this experience will likely be another decade before I insult my taste buds again.

Nandos has grown on me over the years. I used to think it is an overpriced versus fast food but the food is nice & worth a trip now and then. Of course, the sauces are great - hot to mild. Attracts a young crowd. They offer a Blue Light Card discount. Place is clean, served promptly & staff kind & attentive. This particular Nandos is located off the Kings Way with free parking.

Service was good, ambience good. Food lacked flavour and bland. Disappointed.

Went here last night at 2120 by myself. Some places that close at 2200 wouldnt let you sit down as they are "closing." Not these wonderful people. Super quick service and the food was great, the service was really good, very friendly bunch working there. Offering water and generally taking good care of the patrons. Don't live in Dundee but drive through all the time and I will be back.

Had a good clear view of the kitchen. Staff constantly cleaning. Really good to see. Food fresh and hot.

Nice food and good service, worth a visit again.

First time at this Nandos. Clean, tidy, good atmosphere and friendly staff. As normal decent food.

Great menu choice and good service.

Love Nandos - great service, friendly staff and 10% discount for emergency staff (up to £4)

I took my son here for lunch as a treat. Staff were helpful & friendly. They went through everything we ordered as my son has a milk allergy. Service was fast & the food was good, but it was quiet as it was midweek.

Fast service and good food. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Always great tasting cooked food. Always a good experience.

Amazing team. I ordered food to collect but ended up getting stuck on motorway for nearly two hours and the team was so accommodating and helpful. They had my food ready when I got there and went the extra mile for me. Thankyou 🙏

My husband and I decided to drop in for an after movie munchie. It was a good choice; abit pricey but the flavours explain why. Everything had great flavour and the dishes arrived quickly! It's definitely one of the once in awhile treat places! We can say we've finally had a cheekie Nando's hahaha

Lovely vibrant atmosphere , staff are attentive&polite manager Gareth is very polite and accommodating ! The service was prompt and the chicken is fresh a succulent generous sides & the Wine is lovely ! Very impressed by our whole experience will certainly be back

We love this take out menu and we thought it would be a good idea to send for a home delivery but the Web site page said closed and nobody answered the phone so we could not place an order.

1st visit to ashakoshak following cinema visit.after an 1hr in the restaurant when enquired re food advised forgot to put order through..reluctant apology...after approx 1hr 15 mins..got food which was actually very good...when asked about cinema deal advertised as an every day deal on website told it was not on..no compensation for delay and unfortunately will not be back due to extremely poor customer service which is a shame as restaurant is local and the food was good and I would have gone back but too much competition now to think poor service is ok.

Ate dinner here on Sunday night 1st July. The restaurant is spacious, has nice modern décor and looked clean and tidy. The only thing that was a little shabby was the floor tiles, which could really do with being replaced.

Have recently been down in Dundee on holiday and we were really looking forward to a good curry. Going by the reviews we went for this place. Worst mistake ever! To say it was disgusting and inedible is an understatement! We had s selection of different items..one being the lamb chops which upon even opening the tub the smell was awful and they were dry and burnt. The lamb Rogan josh looked, tasted and smelt like a plate of poop!! And the South Indian garlic chilli chicken which is my favourite was just dry chicken and a ridiculously hot inedible tasteless sauce. Avoid at all costs!

Quite a small menu and food is quite decent to be honest.

My wife and I visited the Ashoka Shak early in the evening mid-week recently and had an extremely enjoyable meal.

Had a great lunch here. Good choice and very reasonable price. Had a mixed dish and it did not disappoint. Friendly welcome and great service.

As always a lovely meal and portion sizes are huge! Such value and quality for money!!

We visited the Ashoka Shak recently with my parents. The food was excellent, as was the service. Particular favourites - smoked lamb curry and butter chicken. Definitely recommend for any Indian food enthusiasts!

Returned here after a long break to find they have started doing thali lunches. What a delight! I went for lamb, and my husband had the chicken. Both were delicious, especially the smoky lamb. Lovely side of chickpeas, bought extra chapatis.

Had great service from Roy and the team. Ordered hot buffet with mix of pakora samosa bhaji with 4 currys - bhuna masala and korma with lamb and chicken.

Visited today for lunch with husband and mother in law. First class service and lovely food. We had the tapas which was very tasty. We all had pudding as well . Tried the Indian desserts and they were lovely. The saffron ice cream was gorgeous. Will go again soon

Almost £20 meal for one curry+nice and naan for so-so food quality. definitely not worth it!

This is close to the best Indian resturant I have ever visited some really unusual dishes & their smoked lamb curry is to die for... I have not been in here for a couple of years.... it was good before but now it is excellent

We eat here before we go to see a movie. Always good food and friendly service. I recommend the mince and tatty curry.... Very tasty

Absolutely amazing, my whole family really enjoyed their food and the manager Roy was excellent with helping towards deciding what to have! Lovely meal and food was delicious. Would 100% recommend!

I visited here early afternoon as I was working and staying at the premier inn, I wasn’t sure what I wanted so spoke to the manger, a very nice man , friendly and after telling him how I like my curry he recommended me a starter and a main, they didn’t disappoint, beautiful flavours and were right on the mark for how hot I like them, a very good restaurant with nice helpful staff , I will be back, and highly recommend,

Food is outstanding definitely the best Indian I have ever had, really reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for dining in or take away.

The new thali lunch menu is very good, plenty of choice and very good value. Unable to say what choices you have as it varies. One thing that annoys me is the web site as it shows the restuarant is open 7 days a week... it isn't.. closed Monday and Tuesday. I have soken to the manager several weeks ago but it still has not been updated.Strangely enough there is nothing mentioned about the new lunch menu which is well worth promoting.

Went here some years previously whilst attending the Ice arena so thought we would return.

lovely food delivered to local Travelodge, peshwari nan folded with nuts, massive , good portions and tasty. had lamb rogan josh , chicken passanda and two chicken kormas .

My friend and I were in Dundee for work this weekend , we went in on the Friday and both agreed it was a fantastic meal , we asked the manager if we came back the next night would he make us a special cocktail...

Cold rice cold nan the rest of the order luke warm at best

Not the best curry I've had by a long way. Ingredients seemed cheap and on the whole overpriced. Definitely would not return

Just a quick stop in Dundee for lunch and have got to say we are delighted we did. Both my hubby and I had Chicken Thali (£5.95 p.p) You get 2 choices of curry, rice, mini poppadoms, spicy onion, chickpea dish, 2 onion bhajis and...

Restaurant phoned me while I was driving to collect to ask me for more money as what I ordered cost more than quoted. After paying an extra 15% and getting home, I find one main course and a raita missing. Avoid this terrible place!

Ordered takeaway. Restaurant phoned me while I was driving to collect to ask me for more money as what I ordered cost more than quoted. After paying an extra 15% and getting home, I find one main course and a raita missing. On phoning restaurant,...

Hi all, Recently was gifted an Itison voucher to use here. Booked and arrived as planned the staff were all very friendly & attentive- sometimes if you have a voucher they can be a bit less helpful; but this definitely was not the case here....

Spot on , been meaning to try Ashoka for a while staying in the area quite a few times over the last few years. Wish I’d have tried before now! I will 100% be ordering from here again!!

We ordered chicken pakora and haggis pakora to share....5 pieces of haggis £4.80 and 5 pieces chicken £4.80 .. no salad...expensive for all there was. Then we had a long, cold wait for the next course. I actually had to put my coat on as...

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here today. We visit quite often and are never disappointed. Food is always very fresh and well cooked and a fantastic variety is available. Service is always very good especially our waitress Elena who looked after us today. She was very...

Not quite up to the usual standard, but still good. some of the Tandoori mixed grill was only luke warm.

From the very slow service (20 minutes to be asked for our order and one hour for the mains to arrive), to the coolness of the room (we were seated by the window and considered asking to be moved to the centre of the room...

Thought we would try this restuarant as it was convenient from our hotel. There were a few other customers in, but overall it was fairly quiet. The service was very good, and there was enough variety on the menu. The food was well preapred and...

Great restaurant - good was excellent something for everyone ages from 10 months to one in their seventies. Everyone liked it. Large portions and very reasonably priced. Good service too - thank you Sinead. Would definitely go again

Excellent food and service Sinead and Aleina were very helpful. Service was quick. Felt really bad for the restaurant as...

Always a lovely meal from the Ashoka Shak. Usually go to the restaurant but the food delivered was of the same high quality and with the exceptional friendly service always received at the restaurant.

Shocking and completely disorganised won't be back. Arrived at 5 pm, drink were slow to come, the starters lamb chops...

Got the drinks order wrong, waited 40 minutes for our food only to be told that there had been a...

late again!!!! this is the second time this has happened to us! we thought we would give them the benefit of the doubt and try again but no food an hour after estimate which was already an hour and a half after we ordered! they will not answer the phone either! absolutely shocking!!!

Absolutely disgusted! Delivery order accepted and advised of delivery time 7.25! Have continuously attempted to call the restaurant and there...

The food is exceptional great service very freindly . The nan bread is realy good and tasty . New chef new menu would definitely go back to the ashoka

Food great as always. Some was not very hot. still being not very accurate on time, food was brought out 20 mins after the time stated (which had already been put back 20 minutes).

What a great night we had here food was amazing and the service from Alenea was wonderful

Will use again. Loved the food and the service.

Asked at the door if there was a Vegan choice, better than that, a separate menu. The starters we ordered was onion bhaji, served with a side salad and chickpea dhal. The veggie pakoras were lovely too. My mixed vegetable vindaloo was amazing, and so was the bhuna my wife ordered, with healthy sized portions.

Received an incomplete order and the food was cold! One of the Ceylonese Korma panfried chicken dishes was missing. We did phone the restaurant to advise, and whilst they did promise to send out the missing dish in 10-15 min. We received a completely different dish which was a chicken with cold dip starter. We gave up at that point and didn't phone the restaurant again!!! We would like to be reimbursed for the ceylonese korma missing dish if possible? For the cost of the ashoka shak food versus other takeaway options the delivery , coldness of the food and missing order was very poor.

Heading to watch a movie, we decided to stop in by this restaurant for some food. Started off with the shared combo, it was really good value with a selection of pakora, chicken wings and salad. Then had a smoky railway curry and a spinach one, both were nice. Sides of peshwari naan and pilau rice top notch. Very attentive service, along with a deal as we were cinema bound, got one main for half price!

Have passed this place often and never though to go in.

After being disappointed with several local takeways and takeaway restAurants thought would give Ashoka shak a try... found both curries brilliant and will definitely be making a visit again. Highly recommend.

Food was excellent and delivered well within the time! Will definitely use again 👍🏼

Just back from Ashoka shak with my mum and we both had a fantastic delicious meal.excellent festive meal 4 courses for £16.95 superb standard and very friendly staff and helpful .loved the chicken tikka masala and piping hot and my mums korma was delicious she said she will be highly recommending to friends. Brilliant 10/10 for a great treat thank you
