Ashoka Grill

My sister got sick after eating their meal and they were incredibly rude to her about when she called them. Very poor customer service will never order from there again

My friend and I came here a while ago, hoping for a quick meal before studying for biology (yes we’re Brooklyn College students). Unfortunately, it was far from a quick meal, and I was getting restless and sleepy just waiting for our food to arrive. It took around 90 minutes just for our food to come out, which was ridiculous considering the fact that the restaurant was fairly empty (we were one of two tables seated). The only reason I’m not giving this restaurant fewer stars is because the owner kept checking up on our table to tell us the food would be out shortly (which was clearly a lie for the most part) and gave us complimentary food, such as naan and rice pudding at the end (which I wasn’t too fond of). The food was excellent (probably the best Indian food I’ve ever had), but it’s really not worth spending nearly 2 hours in the restaurant.

I’m really surprised that this place isn’t more popular.
I love the food here; very delicious Indian food that is worth every penny. I usually order the chicken curry or beef curry during the lunch special.
In my opinion, you get a lot of food, so much so that it’s hard for two people to completely finish the portions. This portion of course includes all the rice and naan.
The inside of the restaurant is very clean and gives off the air of fancy dining. It probably wouldn’t be an issue to take your date here but sadly the restaurant is usually empty.
The older gentleman who usually serves us is always very polite and sweet. He occasionally opens the door for us when we’re leaving.

We’ve ordered take out from Ashoka Grill and it’s great! The ease of ordering through EAT is a plus and the fact that they call to confirm your order is reassuring. The food is delicious and abundant and makes for very tasty leftovers! Ashoka Grill is our ‘go to’ for consistently delicious Indian food!

A hole in the wall from street view but inside Ashoka Grill opens up to a nice seated restaurant. The food was delicious and the portions were large. Compared to most Indian places the price was also competitive. The service is what really stood out: the «bread basket» that came out once we were seated, the free appetizer, and at the end the server insisted on packing up our leftovers for us while we sat and waiting for the bill – and he brought us a free dessert with it! We went on a quiet Sunday before seeing a show at the college and I regret having a time limit because I would have ordered so much more.
Must try: Malai Kofta (I pick this dish everywhere I go as my personal litmus test and their’s is sweet, the sauce is rich but not drowning in butter, and the dumplings were large.

The worse service I have ever seen in my life the waiter was trying to force us to order what he wanted and ignored us when we didn’t listen and it was cold like winter inside no heater and only one waiter answering phones before taking care of customers sitting there 2 tables including ours got up and left

If you live nearby and want curry in a hurry order in or just pick up
This place is pretty damn solid but you poops will not be

The older gentleman who I believe is the owner is very nice! I usually order for delivery but this time I came in and placed an order for pickup. Not only was it quick and accurate service, he gave me (and also another patron who was waiting on her order) a complimentary mango lassi. Food and delivery service has always been great but today’s experience earns them a definite 5 stars. Also, their samosas are amazing and so is their paneer saag, paneer makhani, and their malai kofta (yes, I’m a vegetarian lol). This is the best Indian food that I’ve tried in the Flatbush area so far.

First, the bad: It took slightly over 90 minutes from the time I ordered until my food was delivered.
Now, the good: The food was fantastic! I’ve eaten lots of Indian food, and in all honesty, this take-​out was as good as the best I’ve ever had. I would give the food five stars but for the delviery experience, and I’ll certainly try again; any place can have an off night.

This is my go to spot in the neighborhood when I want Indian food. This review is only based on my takeout experience. Ordering takeout from Ashoka is always a pleasant, simple and satisfying experience.
I have never had a problem and the food always arrives, quickly and delicious. It’s almost just as good as being there and eating in the restaurant. I have sampled many of their dishes and I truly can’t complain about one.
The chicken tiki masala is amazing, the curry dishes are all amazing and samosas and nann bread are always perfect. You wouldn’t expect that with delivery but like I said they definitely take pride in their food and it shows.
The price point is fair but for what you get it really doesn’t compare. Everything here is perfectly seasoned never too spicy or bland but just the perfect amount of spice in every dish. They also have the option to adjust the spice level when you place your order which is really great!
If you are bored with your Friday night wings and pizza, give this place a try you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve had take away from this place a few times it can be very hit or miss.
Tonight it was really bad. I asked for my food extra spicy it was super mild and not very tasty. The puri bread was so soaked in oil I couldn’t eat it. I threw half the food away as it just wasn’t tasty and was oily.

Food isn’t the best or the most flavorful, but it’s a good option. The owners are a sweet couple who are friendly.

food: garlic naan wasn’t bad. poori was awful. malai kofta was ok. goat ashkari (pretty sure that’s what it was) was weird– drowned in spices to mask it’s awfulness perhaps? those 3 sauces at the beginning though we’re exceptionally good. also the mango lassi ain’t bad.
appearance: place needs some decoration. when we came in, there were no people but dirty tables. whole venue could use a nice coat of bleach maybe.
service: guy put his hands all up on my dishes and utensils when setting the table. wanted my rice taken home until his dirty finger went in it. ugh whyyyy
take a ride to bay ridge, Indian is way better over there.

I ordered takeout from seemless. The delivery was fast, the food was flavorful, warm and on point. We ordered the veggie Samosa (Crisp turnovers filled with spiced potatoes and green peas), Aloo Matar Gobi (Potato, cauliflower and green peas spiced in light sauce) and the whole fish Tandoori (Red snapper grilled with onions, peppers and masala.). My only regret was not ordering more Samosa!!! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for decent indian food.

Really really good food. Usually delivered in about 30 min. The delivery guys are really nice guys too– not that I require that in a delivery guy but it stands out.

Delicious selection of vegetarian dishes. Great flavor and great service! whenever I am town I make a plan to order tons of indian food from Ashoka. They are courteous and provide great and speedy service. But most importantly the foods are well prepared and absolutely delicious! very lucky to have them in the neighborhood!

The waiter was very nice and polite. I ordered a lamb vindaloo with mild spicy and it came out just the way i liked it. Everything was on point with the exception of the clogged restroom. I will definitely come back again with my date :)

As an Indian & a foodie. This place does not serve authentic Indian cuisine. It’s just a subcontinental mix.
The kabab was burnt & each piece was a different flavor. Chicken tikka masala lacked the strong flavor.

I got the chicken tikka masala and requested the waiter to make it spicy. Since I ordered the lunch special it also came with warm naan and basmati rice. I really didn’t expect the food to be as flavorful and delicious as it was! I dipped the warm naan into the tikka masala sauce and it was just perfection! Service was also really prompt. At the end we were given a complimentary sweet dish called kheer which was a perfect way to cool down my pallet after my spicy meal lol. I will seriously be coming back here if I’m ever in the neighborhood!

Delicious food and super prompt delivery. Loads of vegetarian and vegan options if you swing that way, or simply don’t feel like tearing into flesh.

This review is for take out. I usually order to go AT the restaurant or phone in orders for pick up. I absolutely adore this place. After my formerly favorite Indian restaurant in Park Slope went to the dogs I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled onto this place.
Pros:
Food is fresh and well seasoned. Indian cuisine can be very spicy but Ashoka’s dishes are never too peppery. They have a very balanced mix of oriental flavors.
Affordable prices and large portions. There’s always leftovers when we order from here.
Staff are so sweet, polite and helpful they always make you feel welcome.
Cons:
Service can be slow BUT that’s because it is clear that food is prepared fresh to order. However, the longer you have to wait, the more freebies they give you. (Usually bread, samosas or kheer.)
So far I can vouch for the curry liver poori, channa saag, curry salmon…

Dropped by with my sister after taking a tour of Brooklyn College’s campus. I chose this place because she’s a vegetarian and I love Indian food, so I figured we’d both find something we liked. Very basic interior. Our waiter was such a sweet man with a goofy toothed smile you couldn’t help but appreciate because he smiled so much.
To start, we ordered two samosa apps, but I couldn’t have any because they had corn kernels in them. It’s such a silly thing to have an aversion to – I totally admit that — since I love nearly every kind of food out there and am quite adventurous. But I just can’t get behind corn kernels. The way they burst in your mouth grosses me out, but I digress… In any case, my sister enjoyed them a lot with the spicy green chutney and the tamarind sauce.
For the entrée, I had bhuna, which they prepared with goat for me instead of lamb — even though it wasn’t on the menu. It was a tad too spicy for me, but quite delicious. In any case, I certainly don’t expect a stranger to prepare a dish to my exact spiciness threshold, so that isn’t an issue for me. My sister had the vegetable curry, which she said was wonderful. The naans were so fluffy and hot when they came out. Prep time was average, but clearly everything was prepared fresh. I would visit again for sure. If we didn’t have to rush to get a bus, we would have lingered and perhaps had a dessert. Maybe next time.

Man, the pakora was nasty. The kebab were microwaved. The prices were too damn high!
They brought us taco shells for an appetizer until the food came. The hell do I want to eat taco shells for at an indian restaurant. I ate them though lol
The butter chicken, chicken pea masala, and nan were off the chain though! I dipped the garlic nan into the butter chicken and scooped some chickpeas on top for an incredible bite.
Service here is good, they try hard to be helpful but yet again I was the only one in the restaurant so I better have all through attention!
If you come here, get the butter chicken and skip the majority of the other foods because they are nasty.
Oh the prices are way too expensive, you get only a few pieces of butter chicken for 10 bucks. I can go to jackson heights and have an «all you can get buffet» for 10 bucks.
I might come back for nan n chickpeas.

This place is delicious.
Never ate in the restaurant but always got takeout.
Always delicious and they had a dinner deal with naan, your choice of curry and an appetizer. I definitely recommend the lamb curry and the samosas. The naan was hot and fresh. This is one of the best Indian food places I’ve ever tried. Oh, the prices are great!
The only downside is the location — it’s quite terrible. It’s even far away from the junction, but it’s still the only decent thing next to the Brooklyn College «dorm.»

Love this place! Good prices and generous portions. Everything we ordered was delicious. We went for dinner and got the tandoori mix grill, chicken tikka masala, naan bread, and this curry chicken & pea dish. The staff was very kind and friendly. They even gave us complimentary mini appetizers and mini desserts! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Amazing. An Indian restaurant that’s actually owned and operated by Indian people. The food is great. I got the chicken tikka masala with Naan, as I don’t like basmati rice and it was amazing. It had a ton of flavor and they gave me enough to last two days. I’ll definitely be going back for the samosas and the mango lassi was also AMAZING. The pricing was right, the staff was great and welcoming when I went in there to pick up my food.
When it comes to the atmosphere of the restaurant it’s definitely casual, it’s nothing fancy, but that’s how I like it anyway. I didn’t actually sit down and eat in but it’s just what I noticed while I was there. Anyway, I’m definitely going to order from this place again, I highly recommend.

The food is pretty freakin fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It’s very easy to find right on Flatbush Ave just a few blocks from Brooklyn College.
My friend and I came here for some good Indian food and that is exactly what we got! She ordered the chicken Tandoori and I got my standard chicken tikka masala for $ 11. Both were really really good. Especially the chicken tandoori! The food took forever to come but when it did, it was well cooked and fresh off the grill.
My pet peeves: I’m not sure if someone called out for the night or if they usually are not busy but there seemed to be 3 people on staff that night: 1 person cooking, 1 person making deliveries, and one person waiting tables/​answering phones. This annoyed me because it made the service a little slow, keep in mind, there was only one other party in the whole place and service was still slow. If the food wasn’t so damn good I’d give this place two stars.
The delivery dude continuously opened the door, understandably, but this invited the 15 degree weather to come in and greet us which wasn’t fun.
All in all, if you want amazing authentic Indian food for a good price. Please do come here. It is worth the wait. I will be back here since the food is delicious and since it’s right in the neighborhood :) Honestly, even if it wasn’t in my neighborhood I’d make the effort to come back. That’s how good the food is!

Decent service, maybe it was just a busy lunch hour that they forgot about our check. I can appreciate that they don’t rush you when it comes to serving each meal.
The lunch specials under $ 10 is a great deal, it comes with naan and the curry is pretty good. I’ve tried one of their poori which was delicious (onions and parsley), soft, fluffy and well seasoned. I’ll be back to try their other tandoori dishes; their salmon was on point.
