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 entree, 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. read more

This restaurant is a true gem. The food here has a very high level of perfection in its flavors and textures. They've set the bar very high! The owners of this restaurant care a lot about the quality of their food and satisfaction of their patrons. They are also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! Eating in is a good idea. There's nothing like reuniting with a group of friends and sharing food especially here. You can bring your own beer or wine! This exquisite food brings people together regardless of how far people have to travel to get to it, that's how good it is! The dishes you might be familiar with such as the vindalools, malabars, byrianis and masalas are extremely delicious. The goan shrimp is amazing. Let's talk about the saag paneer...Absolutely DO NOT bypass it if you feel like you know it well. You will be surprised, it is by far the best saag paneer. The chicken samosa is very light, delicate and very good. The tandoori grill is absolutely mouth watering as it comes to the table sizzling. The meat always looks perfect, but once you bite into it you realize how juicy it is. The naan is like a cloud! Hot and fluffy. Try the garlic naan, it has flecks of garlic visible and is heavenly. The rice is always cooked perfectly. The mango lassi is also very delicious, I could go on and on. I'm telling you, these people are amazing. This food is pure beauty! They just opened this restaurant a few days ago and have already gained a first time repeat customer! Whoever he/she is, they get it. Eating somewhere you just discovered the very next day really says something. When I heard they sold the other restaurant I was crushed and thought I'd never see them or taste their food again. I was ecstatic beyond belief when I found out they opened this one! This is an enterprise to support, a place to bring a group of friends because the experience will be great. I can only hope they regain the strong following they had at the old place again. read more

Delicious! So excited to have this place open. Ordered from there for the first time today and it was fantastic. The Sambar was filled with fresh veggies and delicate spices. The malai kofta was creamy with just a hint of spice to make it interesting. The owners are really nice and gave me papadums while I waited. They also included a sample of rice pudding for free. Can't wait to try something else from the menu. read more

We ordered this place on a whim late night take out. The food came in a good amount of time which is clearly important. The flavor was very very good and the portion size was enough to share. I would recommend this place for sure. read more

This is probably my new go to place for delivery and Authentic Indian food. The delivery was quick, the food was so hot and fresh. It happens very rarely that you order food from a random place on yelp for the first time and it hits the spot. This one does. You won't be disappointed. And the delivery guy was super nice and friendly. Will order again soon. read more

I've ordered from this place about 5x now on seamless. I order the Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Malai with Garlic Naan each and every time! They are very quick about 20 min and the food is always hot. My above order is roughly about $30 and worth every bit of it, especially delivered to your front door. I have tried the Mango Lassi which is two thumbs up amazing... The Keema Naan was not my favorite and I would never order it again. Enjoy! read more

A local friend is a regular at this restaurant and after she took me here, I *get* why!!! :) We did a family style dinner and share several items: Bhindi Do Piaza -- Very nicely cooked. Good flavor. Goan Shrimp Curry -- Shrimp was nicely cooked with good spices and coconut milk. Since we got this dish, we decided to pair it with the Peshwari Naan. My friend never ordered it before this visit and I'm happy to say both she and I LOVED this naan! Of course we also had basmati rice too. :) In addition to this, they brought out papadums while we were waiting for our food, raita with our curry and a small rice pudding with cardamom tea to finish the meal. The bill is not bad at all... AND we had plenty of leftovers for my friend's hubby!!! :) The owners were very nice!!! I'm a fan!!! Definitely give this place a try!!! read more

Delicious! Everything was perfect. I got the chicken saag and my friends got the tandoori chicken and and shrimp tandoori Marsala . We all ended up sharing. I am usually a bit nervous about getting Indian food. It's often way too spicy for me.... but I asked for mild and it actually mild. I can't say enough about this place. Do not miss it. read more

Ashoka Grill - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

Best Indian food in the neighborhood! Excellent food, excellent service. My only quibble would be that the chef specialties are often inconsistent. For instance, the mustard chicken was amazing the first time I got it: creamy and nuanced flavors, but the next few times I've gotten it not nearly as good and not the same: more like regular tomato curry. I also wish the chicken was cut in slightly smaller pieces and not so cooked. But really good food nonetheless. read more

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... read more

Two hour wait for delivery! And when the delivery guy came, he asked me to come down to meet him. Paneer Makhani was flavorless. The Paratha was good, too bad it was cold by the time it came to me. No thank you. read more

The food is okay, but the reason im giving it a 2 star is because the paratha bread is not even paratha bread, i ordered 2 aloo paratha and it was my first time ordering aloo paratha from here and i was very excited because every other aloo paratha i ordered from other stores are actual aloo paratha. However the aloo paratha from this place resembled something of a calzone and not a paratha. And. i also ordered a cheese puri and it was the same situation as the parathas, it was literally a calzone stuffed with cheese. It was very annoying cause the aloo parathas were very very bad and totally not what i was expecting. read more

My friend told me about a new Indian restaurant that just opened up and said she's been thinking of trying it. I said well why not today. Our first Indian restaurant in the past wasn't of good experience so why not try another spot. Thank heavens I convince her to try out this restaurant today! Not only was the food timing perfect but the food itself....EXQUISITE. It wasn't extra spicy. All the flavors together was made nice and mild. It's like they also kept in mind of customers with different tastes. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and tops it off. I will definitely make this my go to spot. I hope they can also deliver to my house; I live quite far from them :/ read more

Ashoka Grill - It was just looked and smell too good that I couldn't wait lol...Goan Shrimp Curry and Garlic Naan. So freaking good! - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is the best, best, best Indian food in Brooklyn (for delivery). I've actually never been to the restaurant, but any time I want to grab my Seamless app and order some food (yep, food. Not just Indian food. Food.) this place is the first I pick. The price is fantastic, and the portions are just right, meaning that when I get the dinner special which includes naan and an appetizer (I like the samosas), my boyfriend and I can share one portion. After tax and delivery we spend $17.50 on dinner for both of us, $8.75 each. Not too shabby! The special doesn't include all dinner options, though, so when I want the spiciest dish (vindaloo), I order it off the menu and get a naan and skip the samosas and it's pretty much the same price. The flavors are great and very authentic. Spot-on Indian yummy! read more

I like the food and the people are very nice. I have no complaints. I just wish the portions were bigger I can't get enough...

Please you be the judge. My food wasn't cooked when I called to complain Mr. Choudary want to tell me that's how it's prepared. It's something I ate already ie thandury chicken. read more

I have finally found a delicious indian food spot near me! My boyfriend and I came here last week- we ate in the restaurant. Extremely friendly staff, ridiculously delicious food. I have since ordered from here via uber eats whenever I have a hankering. The food always comes quick, warm and delicious. read more

Amazing food! So delicious and they don't skimp out. Also the food is so well packaged which I really appreciated since delivered foods tend to spill easily. Keep up the great work! read more

I love me some Indian food. Glad this place opened up. Lamb korma was delish, saag paneer was good, the naan and poori breads are great. I'll be back to try more, they service was extremely friendly and they were so grateful. read more

Ashoka Grill - Lamb korma and saag paneer - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Late night I went to diner with a friend! The owner (I believe) was very friendly and customer service was as it best! He took his time to advise us on the food and to explain everything. The food was amazomg! Just one point! I will highly recommend! read more

Hands down the best I have found in the area so far. Service is great they were friendly and provided us with something similar to chips while we waited for our food. We had chicken tikka, shrimp vindaloo and garlic naan. It was so delicious and yummy. Great taste! HUGE shrimp in the vindaloo and great spice! Great balance between sauce and chicken in the tikka. Genuinely good and authentic Indian taste!! In Love with this place if you love Indian you must go and check this place out!! The only bad thing is that I'm sorry I found this place because I will become a frequent weekly customer . It's that good!! read more

This place hits the spot! After checking out a couple open houses in the neighborhood, the wife and I stumbled upon this joint and feel lucky that we did. Please don't let the decor and atmosphere deter you. It will be worth the venture. Ordered chicken shish kebab, garlic naan, chicken vindaloo and lamb roganjosh. Everything was seasoned perfectly and really delicious! This was absolutely some of the best Indian food we've had in the city. Even though it's far from where we currently reside, we will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Not a fancy place, and give you a feeling that it is a real family business, starting from the service and ending at the food. From watching them working, I can guess that their main business is the delivery and the take out, so I felt like we weren't first on their list, and it took them a while from the moment we ordered, till they actually brought the food to the table. The food was good. I had my regular when it comes to Indian places - chicken Tandury. They make it simple just the way I like it, so the extra staff don't overcome the taste of the chicken. My friend had the beef carry and the vegetable Somosa, they were both good and fresh. If you like Indian food you should try Ashoka, you know what, you should try them even if you are not ... read more

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. read more

Definitely a diamond in the rough. My wife and I took a chance on this place thanks to Yelp and we are happy we did! I gauge Indian food on a place we frequent in Bay Ridge, Taj Mahal and this place may have surpassed it (we'll see if they are consistent with their quality). Very friendly waiter. Everything we ordered was done perfectly. Don't be turned off by its appearance because the food more than makes up for it. We ordered the Saag Alu (delicious) the chicken Malai Kabab (which was done perfect!), whole wheat Poori (baked perfectly), and spiced tea ALL FOR $30!! which included a complimentary appetizer and dessert. read more

See all

Great keema naan, amazing curry, flavorful chai and flawless service. Our waiter was extremely nice and the food was seasoned to perfection! This area needed some food with passion and Ashoka delivered exactly that. (Decor is disappointing, but good food comes first for me) This place is a MUST try yelpers!! read more

I think the high stars of the other reviewers are based on the fact that it's way out there, deep in brooklyn, so people are saying "I can't believe there is decent indian out here.", I couldn't complain about the food, but I wouldn't rave about it either. I even remember thinking the price was high for what I was given, and the service seemed a little "doddering" , if that's even a word. Doddering (my personal dictionary): being served by an older uncle type who can't help you because of limited English, and whose attention is hard to get. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but still I will give it a second chance when I'm in that hood and mood. read more

We were a group of 9 that came in during our lunch break and had to eat quickly. They were very accommodating of us. They were extremely kind and efficient. The food was amazing, fresh, and generous portions. I will not hesitate returning to Ashoka Grill! read more

This place has a good selection of curries and the food is good too, nothing extraordinary though. The customer service, however, to order out through the phone is horrible. When I called to place my order, they asked to wait (didn't put me on hold or asked me to call back) while they talked to someone on the side for over 5 minutes while I waited on the phone! That was incredibly rude and waste of my time. I kept trying to get their attention, but finally gave up and hung up the phone. read more

What a pleasant surprise. I haven't finished my meal yet but I had to make sure to post a review. The food is delicious and not over seasoned. The rasam warmed me up from head to toe. The samosa was perfect in every bite. We will definitely be ordering again. Back to my meal . read more

This place is the bees-knees! Goan Shrimp Curry is way too good, butter chicken is to die for, and the naan is freshly baked and puffy Best Indian I could find in New York read more

DELIVERY REVIEW the food is okay. the peshwari naan, which i've never had in america, was authentic. the menu is a little uninspiring, so i ordered the Chicken Makhni. i told them to make it spicy, but they didn't indulge as much as i would've liked them to in spicing it up. the food was fresh and not greasy like some indian restaurants i've been to in america where you can literally skim the oil off the top of the sauce. the mango lassi wasn't bad either. the portions were large enough for my boyfriend and i to share. i ordered on a friday at 9:30pm and the order took an hour to arrive, which was disappointing. it's walking distance from my apt, and it wasn't horrible, so i would order from them again. read more

I have eaten at restaurant and delivery many times. The food is delicious and consistent. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Last time I see I complained about their Lassis. And for a while, when I visited my lady in that area, the Lassis and the food had improved. But for the last three months, the Ashoka Grill has dwindled down to the leachy depths of garbage food. Tonight is their all-time low. The lassis were bad, yes. Very watery with no flavor. But the Chicken Tikka Masala was painful to eat. It had no flavor. Zero. It was like eating watery orange bits of chicken. No thickness to the sauce, no flavor, no spices, nothing. And the brown sauce that comes with the samosas were incredibly cold. It was like putting brown ice cream on a samosa that was overcooked to the point where I couldn't even bite into it. It's time Ashoka Grill went out of business. It doesn't matter either way. It is dead to my lady and me. Good riddance. read more

I'm an Indian food fanatic. This restaurant has overall a good taste and feel to it. The curry's are well done with the right amount of spice and sweetness. The naan is amazing as well but you have to eat them right away or it'll get hard in texture. I came here after my 2 hr economics class and I was starving. I ordered the lunch special lamb curry which comes with rice and naan. The portions are decent based on the price. Since they are the only good Indian food around, they can put that price. My rice was not fresh at all. It was warmed up rice from yesterday or something like that but definitely not cooked fresh. The lamb curry was perfect and it went well with the big naan that came with it. I want to try their dinner menu and have a second review. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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--pick this dish everywhere I go as my personal litmus test; their's is sweet, the sauce is rich but not drowning in butter, and the dumplings were large. read more

The food was delicious and filling. The Rogan Josh with lamb along with the basmati rice was good and the smell from the bag was enticing. I've been meaning to try this place for so long and I'm very happy I did. Quick delivery to boot. read more
