Ashoka West End in Glasgow City

We used an Itison voucher for our Thali lunch here and it was excellent value at £18 for two people. I ordered from the veg menu and everything was packed with flavour. The staff were friendly and attentive. I’d absolutely return.

Food and service were excellent. Great value overall.

Great food, great service, and very reasonably priced. The staff are genuinely nice people, and the food always tastes delicious.

Great food and service by Nimisha

Great food and service. Momo accommodates our last minute reservation on a Saturday night. Food was tasty and served quickly, tasted fresh and authentic. Would come again. Paneer butter masala and the pakora are so so good. All wait staff were helpful and friendly.

Great food, very attentive and friendly staff, particularly Gayati, who was a great hostess.

I had my first curry here when I was 3. I have been a customer through my whole life, as have my family. I took some family out and food was great as ever. However was disappointed when, 1 minute after paying the bill (we had no alcohol and were not rowdy), the music was switched off and the light turned on… as we sat ordering the taxi. It was 22:20, so not yet hitting closing time, and felt unnecessary. Not used to that service in here, which is normally top class, I hope that it was a blip, and things back to normal next time. If so I will amend the review.

Food was lovely and the service was great.

We ordered a bottle of white wine which came at room temperature with 2 glasses with lipstick round them, told the waitress the wine was warm and we had to ask for ice to put n the wine to chill it, the wine was meant to be 12% vol but we received 10%, ceylonese korma had a spicy kick to it instead of creamy mild, not a great experience overall

Great evening, Sunita has been great help, made our evening a really good one!

Had a lovely meal here on Monday evening.The food was delicious and service quick. Our waitress Momo was very nice and helpful . We will certainly go back.

El miércoles pasado tuvimos una comida familiar en el Ashoka Finnieston. La comida era deliciosa, y las porciones eran abundantes. El personal fue amable y atento, lo que se sumó a toda la experiencia. El personal proporcionó "una bolsa de perro" para los artículos intactos de los platos compartidos. Pedimos demasiado, considerando el tamaño de las porciones. Recomendamos probar sus currys.

The best curry in Glasgow, and the staff is lovely specially Momina , you eat and feel like a king. Thank you 😊.

Last Wednesday we had a family meal at the Ashoka Finnieston. The food was delicious, and the portions were plentiful. The staff were friendly and attentive, which added to the whole experience. The staff provided " a doggy bag" for the untouched items from the shared platters. We ordered too much, considering the portions. We highly recommend trying their curries.

Segunda visita a Ashoka Finnieston y no será la última. Excelente servicio de la gerente Momo y su equipo que son todos muy agradables y eficientes. Gran selección de menús y comida y bebidas tienen un precio razonable. Deliciosa comida servida en porciones generosas. No puedo fallarlo y espero volver pronto.

Servicio amable súper genuino, especialmente de Gayati. Todo el equipo era brillante y la comida era auténtica e impresionante. . . Muy recomendable 👌

Food was delicious with very generous portions. Cannot fault the service, Sumi was very attentive and friendly.

Wonderful food. Great service. Thanks to Momina for a lovely evening.

Small Indian restaurant on two levels (ground floor and basement. The lower room is much more comfortably furnished. A good 20 minute walk from the Scottish Exhibition Center. Friendly service - thank you Momina for the warm welcome. Very good and authentic Indian dishes, large ones Selection (we really enjoyed the curries and the dal was also excellent). We would be happy to return on our next visit to Glasgow.

It's very good authentic tasting food. Varied selection of starters. Although the dips are often understated, they were delicious and plentiful, particularly the mango chutney and spiced onions. Poppadoms as they should be. Main courses were equally delightful and flavourful. Mushroom rice for something a bit different. Nan bread light and fluffy were a slight char. Friendly service.

Increíble comida esta noche con mi padre aquí para 7 platos de menú degustación. Ambas camareras eran increíbles. Mis padres han venido aquí durante 35 años y dicen que es tan bueno como siempre.

Este es el mejor curry que he probado en mi vida (más de 50 años). No podía faltar y el personal es maravilloso. Muy diligente sobre alergias también. Gran valor. Ambiente encantador. Fabuloso, gracias.

Great food and lovely service from our waitor Sunita, thank you!

We popped on their,food was nice but cooled quickly £70 for three people with one alcoholic half pint abd a soft drink,portions where small soup bowl size did not reflect on the price,we had a lovely girl serving us,and it was not very warm inside if you have a disability toilets downstairs and a step up going into the ashoka with no hand rail and it is dark at night so you eould have to be aware when entering and leaving..

We had the Pre Theatre menu on 23/10/2024, , as 2nd option due to a technical hitch with my itison voucher , the Supervisor was very helpful as we were confused re.the complication, The 2 course meal with fabulous Naan bread was the best we.ve had in Any restaurant, we had visited the restaurant a few years ago , But don.t recall the food being as brilliant as Yesterday "

It's a nice place to dine in. Although the price is a little bit high, the amount of food is quite good.

Great food, great staff. Warm and welcoming

What a fabulous meal. So tasty and flavoursome. The service was really good. Staff are really helpful and make great suggestions. We were not disappointed.

Food was delicious. Staff very attentive. Will be back.

Friendly service and tasty food.

I don't think I ever eaten such a disgusting curry in my entire life. Ordered the butter chicken and the chasing with garlic naan and chapatti. Both curry were literally drowning in thr exact same sauce, the flavour was sour, texture was gritty and chicken was rock hard. Garlic naan smelled like rotten fish and the chapati was dry as boot. Incredibly disappointing meal, a complete waste of £32. Took a chance as an Asian to order Asian food, definitely won't be making that mistake again. Utterly inedible.

Such a lovely meal and the service was perfect

First time visit in a long time and boy was it worth the wait. I had the lamb chops to start. What a feast. Amazing starter. King prawn pardesi was always a favourite and it didn’t disappoint. The new chilli garlic fried rice was awesome. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the Bombay cycle IPA was delicious. Highly recommended.

Just had a beautiful meal at Ashoka tonight , a gift from friends for hubby's 60th birthday, we had the 7 dish deal , fantastic starters and meals , highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have been twice now and it is amazing! Lovely food and staff to match

Lovely lovely lovely! Beautiful meal 👌

Great food and great service, can't say anything else.

Delicious food and great friendly service.

Incredible food, cooked freshly on site and with friendly kind service. I had lamb bhuna with lemon rice and even though the portions was huge, I literally couldn’t stop eating it. Great atmosphere would recommend to anyone! 🥰

Came here on a personal recommendation and daaaaamn. Fabulous Indian food. A cut above. Great vegan and veggie selection too.

Placed an order at 9:50pm for delivery, phoned an hour later only to be told the delivery driver had just left. 20 minutes later the place is shut and still no food. Don’t order from these people, absolute thieves

We Eat here regularly and it never disappoints, their Chasni is a personal favourite and the staff are always friendly.

Poor portions even when. Not grumpy.on deaal. Food not great

Excellent service and the food was excellent too, the Peshawi Nan was superb. I would highly recommend this restaurant

Got a Groupon for this, the food does not disappoint. Very small on ground floor, but more space in the basement.

Food and delivery was shocking, arrived so late, was cold. Avoid Urber Eats.

Very nice, excellent Food.....delicious Very friendly staff great value for dining in restaurant, great ambiance.....

On Saturday, we ordered from Ashoka directly, as we know that Uber and Deliveroo can charge participating restaurants a lot. Well, I'm never doing that again, and I surely won't be back at Ashoka. Our delivery was supposed to reach us within 60 minutes (although it said 15-35 on Uber Eats). It took 1h35, and three phone calls. The traffic was light (12-minute drive showing on Google Maps at the time). First, we were told the driver had just pick up the order. Then we were told the traffic is horrendous (it was not). Then we were told that heavy rain was causing the deliveries to be slow. There was no rain, and even if the weather was different in Finnieston and Gorbals (which is unlikely), it's impossible for that area to be experiencing Biblical rain that made it hard to drive through when 3-miles down the road there was no rain. The person on the phone kept asking me if I'd ordered via Uber Eats, which makes me think that Ashoka is fully focused on deliveries from that service and ignores their customers who order directly. When I said I'd be complaining and that I'd like my money back, I was told I could email them. Three emails later (it's been 5 days now) I received no response, not even an acknowledgement or an apology. Any other restaurant would refund the money or at least offer a voucher. Not Ashoka. If you don’t wanna wait around for your food for ages, be ignored or taken for an idiot, stay clear.

Another fab meal from Ashoka Drinks Kingfisher Vino Bhunna South Indian Garlic Chicken Peshwari nan Rice Outstanding as usual Perfect accompaniments Great service from Monime (spelling questionable) Never fails to delight this restaurant Thanks

loved the paneer saag and the garlic naan! staffs are attentive and helpful

Had passed numerous times but decided to try out . Well what a delight I’ve been missing , as soon as we arrived our party were attended to hand in foot . A young well presented waiter catered to our every whim , He was well knowledgeable about the dietary requirements as my fiend is lactose n gluten intolerant .He was able to steer us in the right direction both food and drinks . Very well spoken and well heeled waiter Kamal who made the night a reason to remember for service , quality and price . I’m angry at not visiting at an earlier instance as now it’ll be a regular haunt before the city centre that’ll be first port of call Rarely have I’ve been treated like a family member never mind a paying customer , all my foodie friends have been made aware of this hidden gem , thanks to the great night fantastic service and all round enjoyable evening .

Chaitali served us a great dinner! The service was attentive, prices not high and wine is good. I loved the cooking and the atmosphere. It’s nice to share a large entree and a couple starters. Chaitali was really good at explaining the dishes if you don’t know everything on the menu!

Ashoka is a lovely restaurant located right on Ashton Lane. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful and the staff made us feel welcome right away. They have a wide array of dishes which makes it easy for people of different tastes to find something including those with allergies or dietary restrictions. The waiters were beyond accommodating and even helped us choose the best dish based on our preferences. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend and will go again soon. If you want to go on the weekend I’d recommend making a reservation as it can get very busy.

I bought an itison deal and it was well worth the money .i took my brother and both of us loved it. Staff were lovely. Very helpful and efficient. Especially our server Momina . She opened doors for me as i walk with a crutch. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you .cant wait to come back 😋

Food wasn't good very bland not very spicy at all,had a Wowcher voucher and not for me this place servers were very nice but not the food.

After booking over a week ago they call 2 hours before our reservation time to say they cannot honour their booking. Absolutely shocking, will not be using any Ashoka restaurants in future. Zero stars

Never order delivery from here 🚫⛔️ food was never delivered and contact numbers are not working. Horrible Experience!! EDIT: Business response is even worse “lies”, an apology would have been just fine. I attached photos of my chat with UBER trying to contact your business TWICE and both time there was no response. Yes its true I cancelled the order minutes before it arrived, but it arrived 16mins after the estimated time which was 7:00pm to 7:20pm. since the order is delivered directly by the restaurant, there is no way for me to track it on the app, hence, if someone at least answered the phone and told me the food is on the way I would’ve waited. I think it’s fair to cancel after waiting 16 extra mins with no way possible to contact the restaurant.

Excellent food and service - definitely recommend

Really tasty curries and starters. Busy wee restaurant, was downstairs on our visit, which is a little lacking in atmosphere and means staff have to go back and forth, but friendly and good value. Would definitely recommend it.

Food was lovely and staff were lovely and friendly would definitely recommend

Great food and good quality we both had nice time definitely be back.

Had a lovely meal last night, staff are all lovely too

First time visiting this restaurant, very friendly/helpful staff. Food excellent. We will definitely return

Such a worst management which I never see in my life don’t order in nights please

Had the pleasure of receiving a Wowcher voucher as a Christmas gift for Ashoka Finnieston. We went on Sat 17.2.24 snd were delighted at the meal we had. Warm welcome on arrival, no rush from the very friendly lady front of house. Great choices on the menu and for ggd cost of the voucher it was tremendous value. Freshly prepared food cooked to perfection. My wife is not a big eater but she scoffed her dishes. Fresh and delicious garlic and coriander nann bread, fragrant and spicy dishes. All round a great experience.

Amazing the full meal was a masterpiece every note every flavour was hit 100%. My palette was singing. Hat off to the head chef 🙌🙌

Lovely staff and very helpful. Will definitely be back again soon.

Lovely food and service. Staff were so attentive and lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Terrible never go back had a voucher to use they told me they would take it off or bill then said they couldn’t as it was no longer valid . I had called before we went and explained what had happened they told me bring your voucher it was all good so bad

Loved the food and the place was wonderful.

Food was surprisingly bland, as an Indian myself, I can tell. The dishes seemed to have a lot of stuffs but at the end the taste just wasn't there. Chef needs to learn the basics again.

Exceptional food! Visited here to try the set menu and our expectations were blown away with the quality of the food. Every thing was incredibly tasty & the service was excellent. Friendly, helpful staff & amazing food. Highly recommended!

A lovely wee restaurant and all the food we had was delicious and the best curry I have ever had

Lovely food...rice was light and fluffy. Creamy masala delicious and the lamb labdabar was also great. Good portion size .service was good. Can't fault it.

Great Indian restaurant in Glasgow's west end great food good attentive service from very friendly staff always been a favourite restaurant of mine would recommend to anyone looking for Indian cuisine

Looking forward to meal bought as gift by our daughter, from the minute we walked through the door the waiter was rude! As we entered and advised we had reservation at 4pm (as customary) met with growling "we're just opening up" this was 4:02pm...if you don't want customers arriving on time then have a gap between opening and accepting customers. We were then vaguely pointed to a table, glaring at my husband whilst putting menus down. We then witnessed same person abrupt behaviour with other customers before coming back to us, explaining we had a voucher perhaps neeed different menu..he checked iPad and snapped no voucher on booking. At this my husband told him to forget it. We had actually emailed the restaurant as per notice on Itison, no reply, after 2 days I called, made the booking and advised then and as per instruction that we had an Itison Voucher...but apparently this is our fault that their staff do not put on system. Safe to say won't be back, and certainly would not trust this dreadful staff member in serving food to us.

Good food reasonable prices basic decor. But staff polite and helpful Definitely worth a visit.

I'm *very* confused. I ordered on just-eat and was forced by the site to click on the Cauliflower Dhansac and Paneer Saag twice each. The receipt has two charges for each item but I only received one of each. Tried calling the restaurant 10 times and no response. The food is (as always) delicious but getting charged £19.90 for a single portion of Paneer Saag and £19.90 for a single portion of Cauliflower Dhansac is OUTRAGEOUS.

Delicious food and great service. Had a lovely time!

We are French tourists and the restaurant was recommended to us by our taxi driver. We had a wonderful dinner with our kids. The dishes are truly delicious and the staff is attentive, nice and funny. I never put comments on google but they really deserve it !

Good food but portion size wasn't great

Excellent meal and great delivery time

The food was great, many different authentic Indian choices, different to the modernized Indian cuisine. All the curries were onion based, the biryani did not taste like a biryani, however, it was really delicious, but I don’t think I’d consider it a biryani. Arguably best naan bread I’ve had at any Indian restaurant, and the best butter Chicken (had a different more traditional name). The staff were helpful with portion and food choice recommendations. The restaurant’s atmosphere was pleasant, there is also more space down stairs.

Authentic delicious Indian food ! We loved the place :) Although my drink has been forgotten, the service is charming and we had a lot of fun. So I will definitely come back :) The menue shows a great variety of vegetarian and vegan food:)

2 bits of lamb on yhe bone full of fat hard grissley fat ?

Wow, on a Friday we selected ASAP delivery and it came in about 20 minutes with a very happy and polite driver. Food was amazing too, warm and fresh. Some interesting choices on the menu and we were happy with our curries, naan and chips. Cheers.

Highly recommend Food excellent as always & the delivery time was superb

Excellent customer service and food , will definitely be back !

Great Indian restaurant! The food is delicious and the staff is very dedicated! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and the location is great. There are only a handful of good Indian restaurants that serve delicious food and this happens to be one of them. Definately recommend. Give it a try!

Nihari DID NOT LOOK AND TASTE anything like Nihari. I wasted £10.95

Food was perfect - we ordered three vegetarian dishes, one with paneer which was perfectly cooked, and another that was a Cauliflower dhansak with a really nice kick. Staff were very friendly and the portions were generous. 5 stars

Didn’t deliver all items paid for. Poppadoms smashed. Delivery 2.5h late. Ignored when complained via phone and email. No refund for missing items. Do not order from here.

Food was 10/10 .. I don’t usually leave a review but this was amazing

My mate collected 2 meals from here today The tubs were only half full in each of them Portion control is ridiculous Definitely will not be back

If there was less strata I’d give them. Accepting orders and waiting an hour to cancel them knowing full well you weren’t making it and leaving people hungry at 11pm with not much other delivery options is a joke.

Fabulous food delivery driver great

Very poor avoid at all costs. Change of management this week really shows. Staff with dirty clothes, drips down their top and trousers - nice!! They have a dungeon downstairs they put you in and then forget you exist- be aware. Better off ordering from your local. Don’t waste your money. I regret it.

What an amazing meal we have just had.. food outstanding..service super friendly and helpful. .deffo will be back to this little Diamond

We decided that we wanted a really good curry, so obviously we chose the Ashoka Each dish was fresh, absolutely delicious and plentiful , the garlic naan was soft and so flavourful Usually I have leftovers with a take away but absolutely scoffed the lot last night!! Lol An absolute triumph xxxxx

Was given a delivery time slot of 52 minutes to 71 minutes after ordering…order came 86 minutes after ordering with no prior contact of the delay. The food was all cold and one of the items had spilled in the delivery bag. The food quality was nowhere near as good as it usually is from this restaurant and the paratha wasn’t cooked properly, it was pretty much just a chapati. Disappointing all round really because I have always enjoyed this restaurant in the past and had ordered this as a treat.
