" I came to Asha on a whim, expecting something different, and I was pleasantly surprised! Each dish had a unique flair, which is refreshing for someone who's had traditional Indian cuisine for years. The jackfruit vindaloo stood out with its tender texture and exceptional flavor. The drink menu is also creative; I had an incredible tamarind lime beverage that perfectly complemented the meal. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance felt cozy yet upscale. A fantastic experience all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on reviews, but my experience at Asha was quite lukewarm. While the atmosphere is inviting, the flavors were quite mild and lacked the punch I was looking for in a vegan Indian restaurant. I ordered the Indo-Chinese noodles and the lentil kofta, both of which were just average. Service was decent, but not overly attentive. Perhaps I just chose the wrong dishes, but I expected bolder flavors and a more distinct Indian twist. I might consider giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't get over how good the food is! The kale saag 'paneer' blew my mind. Never thought vegan food could be this tasty. Each bite was packed with flavor, and I paired it with their refreshing coconut yogurt lassi, which complimented the dish perfectly. The atmosphere was delightful—decorated with soft lighting and Bollywood film posters, which added a nice touch to the dining experience. The wait staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. I left with a full belly and a smile, excited to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit! The chef’s creativity shines in each dish. I had the thali plate, and each component was balanced and delicious. The highlight for me was the pakora, which was perfectly crispy and flavorful. The only downside was waiting a little longer for our meals, but the atmosphere made it worthwhile. Asha is an exceptional find, and I definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Asha has a vibrant energy that drew us in. I was thrilled to see such a creative vegan menu, filled with flavors I love. Tried the Kale Saang ‘Paneer’ and the dessert was a delightful banana dessert. While I loved the creativity, I was taken aback by how some dishes veered off the traditional path, particularly the fusion items. Still, the food was delightful, and the service was excellent! I’ll recommend it and return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Asha is a hidden gem! I’m a fan of vegan food, and this restaurant does an amazing job of elevating the classic flavors into something extraordinary. I had the Indo-Chinese soy curls with the tamarind lime drink, and both were fantastically executed. The atmosphere is hashtag-worthy with its vibrant decor! Service was friendly. I will definitely be coming back for more. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what they offer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I discovered Asha! The food is incredible, bursting with flavors and spices. My favorite was definitely the mango lassi; it was the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. The atmosphere has a lovely vibe, with beautiful decor that makes dining there extra special. Service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. I can’t recommend this place enough for those seeking delicious vegan options! " (*Curated Review*)
