    Some of the best Indian food we’ve had. We come here often and love the quality of the food. Great variety. Prawn biryani, lamb tikka masala, tarka Dahl so many delicious things.

    As we are new to Amsterdam, we arrived at the wrong Ashoka Restaurant not knowing there were two locations. The owner was kind enough to seat us immediately in his busy restaurant. Food and service was excellent. Prices were very reasonable. We will recommend this restaurant to friends.

    Really good looking restaurant with a scenic ambiance with matching easy going music. Really felt relaxed when I sat down. The only thing that could be improved is the amount of oil in the dishes and the speed in between appetizer and Main Course (less than 5 minutes) could be a bit longer 🙂

    We ate at several restaurants during our visit to Amsterdam. This was the best for quality of food (delicious) and service (very attentive). The resturant itself is not as large or aas fancy as others but it was quite comfortable and inviting and attractive in the table settings. The cost was about half of the other restaurants we visited. We have enjoyed this cuisine in many countries including many cities in India and Nepal. I would rate it among the best we have had.for flavor and freshness of ingredients. Thank you Ashoka friends!

    This genuine restaurant which is easy to miss from the outside should however not be missed! We were welcomed in a very kind way, the service did patiently answer all our questions and advised on which spice to choose on a scale from 1-5. The food was delicious ( especially to mention the veg choice of Nepalese type of "thali" with 3 different dishes included), real tasty and balanced. And great value for money. We have saved it in our favorites and will return next time we visit Ansterdam.

    Smaller, downscaled version of its sister restaurant in Spuisstraat but don't be fooled. The food is just as excellent and the service so friendly and good. Good food for good value. The momos were heavenly

    Really enjoyed the quality of the food in this restaurant. However, the service was disgraceful. They were clearly too busy prioritising online delivery orders (uber, deliveroo, etc.). In the 90 minutes we waited for our started they must have processed close to 30 online orders. Some other diners got fed up and left part way through their meal. We did the same after having starters as we couldn't afford to wait another 90 minutes for our mains to arrive. Food quality is good but they really need to ask themselves if they would rather just exist as a take away option - instead of trying to balance both take away and dine-in!

    The food/drinks and service were superb again, so we will definitely coming back! The only negative worth mentioning is that we can imagine that on cold/rainy days the in and outgoing delivery guys might make a spot near the door somewhat less desirable.

    The food was delicious. The butter naan was perfect. A thick lassi to start with Papadam was amazing. The Paneer Jalfarzi and vegetable Biryani were made fresh, you can taste the difference. We asked me for 4/5 spicy food and it was too much for us but the taste profile didn't change much.

    We had a lovely time! Although the advice on the hotness of the dish could have been better. We are spice lovers, but apparently masala is already spicy and we were not aware of this. Other than that, lovely service, and delicious food. We would definitely come back!
