"We had a take out and the fish chips, brilliant. Haddock was white and tasty also batter was cooked to perfection. We had breaded scampi as well which was good. You must try the curry sauce on your chips they go together like preorder peas in a pod. I have eaten in the galley always lunch time which is great, you may have to wait for a table but well worth it. Try a wee treat scone raspberry and white chocolate you will want to go back for more. Girls are always friendly and serve with a smile."

"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."

"Fast efficient service from polite and knowledgeable restaurant staff. Food was well cooked, well presented and delicious. Portions were generous and the prices very reasonable. The room was clean and nicely decorated, and the bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommended, and we'd go back in a heartbeat."

"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."
