"Went here for a takeaway and was very disappointed. We ordered 2 haddock suppers and asked for one to be Gluten free. When we got back to our holiday home and opened the food it wasn’t even marked which one was gluten free which meant I couldn’t eat the fish without taking the batter off so it was just plain fish with no flavour. It wouldn’t have been hard to mark gf on the right one. Extremely careless. There was no salt and vinegar on the chips so they were also bland and also quite dry. The portions are huge so if it was edible you would definitely get moneys worth although one portion of chips is more than enough for 2 people but unfortunately it was mostly wasted as it just wasn’t good."

"Ashoka South Side was a disappointment. I booked a table for Christmas Day with the promise of a glass of fizz on arrival, only to be offered a mocktail instead. It wasn't until I questioned this and showed my own copy of the menu that the promised fizz was granted. Two weeks before Christmas, we were asked to pay in full for our meal, but I was asked to pay in cash even though I preferred to use my card. On Christmas Day, despite enjoying the food, the restaurant had overbooked and took my dad's seat away, leaving us cramped on a couch against the wall. The food at Ashoka is nice, but usually lukewarm. I had to ask for my chicken to be reheated on Christmas Day. We received a voucher for £10 off our next meal, but when we tried to use it in January, the staff member was confused about the terms and conditions. The voucher stated a minimum of 2 people, but the staff member insisted it was for a maximum of 2 people. The staff member also failed to mention that the voucher couldn't be used with the pre-theatre menu until we tried to pay. When I asked to see the terms and conditions on the voucher, none were provided. Our bill came to £87, so with the voucher it would have been £77, but the staff member refused to honor it. As someone with a background in International Business Law, I know that failing to clearly state the terms and conditions of a voucher is breaking the law. The staff member's insistence on not providing the discount has led me to decide not to return to Ashoka. The food is good, but not exceptional, and I would rather dine at a place that values customer loyalty. It's a shame, as Ashoka is a local restaurant with potential, but the lack of transparency and customer care has left a sour taste in my mouth."

"Interesting, adventurous 'nikkei cooking, in a bright corner spot over-looking the common. The Thursday-Friday lunch at £19.50 is a steal; recommend the mochi cheese bread w truffle as an add-on. Lovely marble counter bar and excellent, knowledgeable friendly service from Elisa and the team. They opened in 2019 so were hit hard by lockdown and are pretty much starting afresh; definitely worth a visit to try the food and support the kind of restaurant that London is short of. Independent, delicious and reasonable. The all day weekend brunch menu looked pretty good too."

"excellent quality food, definite fine dining experience. Very well presented decor and surroundings, all the dishes we selected were outstanding quality. We visit regularly Chinese restaurants, and this experience was one of the very best, without a shadow of a doubt."

"We arrived at the restaurant with a group of friends and an 18-month-old child. We all had a satisfying meal, received excellent service, and felt comfortable. The food was much better in terms of quality and price compared to our usual place, Nando's. The children's menu was fantastic and the portion sizes were generous for everyone. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and wheelchair and highchair accessible with plenty of space. However, parking may require some research before visiting. Overall, it was a great dining experience."
