Ashoka Grill, Brooklyn NY

Wow this was the worst Indian food I've ever had. Disgusting the food tasted sour the garlic Naan had no garlic. Great customer service though, the best Indian restaurant in brooklyn is a stretch to say.

The worst Indian food I’ve had in my life. Ordered on July 27,2023. Ordered the chicken seekh kabob which was soooo dry and no flavor whatsoever. The garlic naan got hard in literally a minute. The butter chicken was okay but the color was yellow which is not the traditional butter chicken color. The Chana masala was okay too but hardly any spice/flavor and extremely liquidy. The lamb biryani was so tasteless. My total came up to about $65.00. My significant other and I literally ate 1/4 of the meal and threw the rest out. Also the restaurant had absolutely no customers and it was around 6: 00 p.m. It looked extremely dirty inside and dark. If you want to eat Indian food this place is not the place to go to. As a South Asian this is a disgrace to Indian food.

Good Indian food! We ordered the paneer with peas, it tasted good but had too many peas and not enough sauce. Butter chicken was good as well.

Service was slow but there is only one guy doing orders and working the register.

Worst Indian restaurant ever! Today 7/9 was my first visit there as i recently moved a week ago n the door was always locked but it was open tdy n I went in. I was hesitant to go inside as the doors were open only 3 tables in the front n then they blocked off with chairs bikes etc looks like some kind of storage room. Very dirty n smelly. I thought maybe the food will be amazing so I can overlook all this. While sitting there few door dash n delivery guys will come in n stand nxt to my table to pick up their orders. It wasn’t fine dining by any means. I am an Indian woman who herself is a great cook but always eager to try out. I ordered paneer makhni & onion kulcha. There is a 80 year old man who looks like to do the waiter, cashier & serving food. It takes him forever to go from one corner to another. I was starving n waiting for food & the only customer there still took them one hour to prep. One bite of food it was disgusting. Tasted like I am eating a dessert. No spice ratio. I left most curry n rice. It was not edible. Any Indian will know what authentic Indian food is. I need to warn Indians not to try their food as it’s flavorless n tasteless. American customers who try first time may not know. I know lot of Americans who knows how it tastes. This is not worth trying. The 80 year old man I talked about he has a lot of attitude. I told him that so much food is left as I didn’t like a bit even I was starving. One bite of that food & l lost my appetite. Then comes cherry on the cake. Bill was $20.31. On the menu he gave me the dish paneer makhni was $11.95 n was charged $12.95. When I asked him why he says it’s the old menu so I said you should tell me n inform me that the price is higher. Then it says on the bill charge $3. I questioned him what’s that for? I was told that’s the table charge as I sat in the terrible heat n sweating n mopads n delivery guys are inches away from me. I thought he will be courteous to apologize for any inconvenience. Not so! He was actually very rude and wanted the tip. I thought he must be dreaming. I walked away hungry & picked up some Chinese food to change the disgusting taste of my mouth. Eat at your own risk @Ashoka you have been warned!
Extremely unhappy customer

Food was ok but they overcharged me i asked them what are these extra charges they said its table charge that doesn’t make sense i m paying for food and I have to pay separately table fee to sit and eat there very disappointed

I’ve ordered several times from here. For lunch and for dinner. The food is ok. It’s hit or miss. Portions aren’t great compared to other Indian locations. Lunch deal is pretty good value though. Sometimes the food lacks flavor. Seems like sometimes I get sauce that’s a bit more runny and sometimes it’s thicker. Would eat here again if sticking to the basics but have found other better locations for Indian.

Just purchased "Garlic Naan", not sure what I got but it certainly wasn't what I'm accustomed to. There was no garlic, it was tastless bread. Overcook, looking more burnt and no condiments given with the order. This was my first time ordering from here, I usually get my naan from Ghandi on Bedford but its closed (rent is too darn high). I won't be purchasing from here again.

Bait and switch with price. They have menus all over and when you go to pay all of a sudden you get hit with a higher price because they “don’t update their menus”. Also their website has their price listings too at the lower or current menu price.

The food was pretty good; however, the service was lacking in quality. I had a wait awhile to receive the food and they over charged me ($9 extra). They don't have a system in place to prevent errors like that from happening. Just someone working off a chart (it seems) and punching numbers into the register. Calculate your bill yourself.

I wanted to give Ashoka Two Stars because the food was actually good but, a month later, the terrible service experience still resonates. A long wait to order and verrry long wait for food can happen, but the belligerence of the waiter/maitre d’ was incredible. I asked for water on a hot day five times. Instead of bringing water, he kept getting worse. Asking for papadam or the the raita I ordered, he was even worse. I only stayed because I had paid at the counter in advance.

I support small business and I can’t speak about ordering for delivery. But on reflection, given my experience with the waiter, I should have left for concern the food might be.compromised. Don’t eat here.
