    Salmon Tikka Masala
    Katherine D.

    Great food, very sweet staff, cozy intimate vibes. Overall a fantastic evening - we ate lamb vindaloo and tikka masala salmon. Both were absolutely delicious. However, the star of the show was the garlic cheesy naan!!! Free surface lot parking

    Another fine hidden gem! Hubby & I venture out of our comfort zone often, with yelp as our guide. Tonight we found ourselves in need of the exotic spices. We yelped up a lovely place in nearby pinecrest town center. It's quiet, pretty and well served. Only one waiter tonight Weds at 8pm. He gets it done well and paid close attention to our preferences, giving great suggestions. We had an amazing red cauliflower app, which was even better than we imagined! I chose my standby chicken tikka masala & hubby got a recommended lamb dish. Yes, It did not disappoint! The atmosphere is comfortable and lovely appropriate decor. The place itself is small, but serves very well. Prices are in line with the area. Check it out if you are in this area of Miami looking for Indian and the like. Thanks for following me and happy Yelping!

    Mango Lassi
    Alexandra L.

    First off, the service was great. We asked several questions, asked for recommendations, and we were able to customize the portions. Second, the flavors are incredible! We got a pistachio curry, which I've never had before. So unique! Get the bread basket!

    Once you enter---- the music, and entire atmosphere calms you down - ready for a serene meal. I'd love to bring my girl here for a relaxed, romantic dinner. the paintings, lamps and doors all beautiful I ordered the paneer makhani with vegetables, garlic naan and the mango lassi. I always leave leftover for dinner but not this time... ate it all.. my belly hurts a bit cause I'm so stuffed but no regrets... delish My server was quite attentive and cordial-- great service.

    Came for my birthday tonight and Service was amazing. Food took a while but tasted hot and fresh so it's worth the wait. Nice little cozy spot. Loved the decor and music playing. Check it out.

    This is just to update or better yet, to add something new to my previous review. Ashoka Indian is still a great contender for best traditional Indian food in Miami. I know Ghee has it's followers, but Ashoka in my opinion, is way better. The Lamb Chettinad and butter chicken are amazing. Always a great choice and if you are not a fan of the sauces... try their chicken tandoori. Is excellent! Service is friendly and food is served in a timely manner. Clearing the table after dinner can be improved but.... It isn't a deal breaker for me. The ambiance is okay... it has dimmed lighting which i appreciate and decor is basic but not cheesy. Give it a try when in the mood for great Indian food.

    Cheese Garlic Naan
    Taylor A.

    Such a cute little restaurant with some dark lighting & amazing food. This is some of the best Indian food I've been able to find in the greater Miami area so far. The Cheesy Garlic Naan was perfect. The Tikka Masala sauce was to die for. I tried it with salmon & was obsessed. Place that sauce on anything & it will be fabulous. Portions are great & very filling! They had 2 great employees at the time who working hard, very polite & helpful! Definitely will be coming back for more!

    My husband and I had a delicious meal at Ashoka. Our server Akshata was fantastic! She was welcoming and had great recommendations. As per her recommendation we started with the Samosa Chaat which was delicious! This is the perfect appetizer and full of flavor. We chose the Seekh kabab with curry sauce and the curry goat for dinner. Both were delicious and had the perfect amount of spice. The cheesy garlic naan was also perfect. This will now be our go to for delicious Indian dishes.

    Lamb Chettinad
    Amanda M.

    The food was delicious!! Highly recommend the tikka masala and samosas. We ordered: Vegetable Samosas Tikka Masala (chicken) Lamb Chettinad Butter naan Food and service both five star. We'll be back!

    I don't know how many reincarnations this particular spot has gone through. Before Ashoka it was Saffron, and before that Imlee, and I am pretty sure it was still another Indian restaurant before Imlee, which name I cannot recall. We went there for lunch. Their lunch menu has many choices, from vegetarian to lamb, at a very good value too. You can choose a smaller set, or the thali, which includes salad and dessert as well, prettily arranged on a tin tray. The samosa is excellent, crunch on the outside and on our first bite, steamy hot! It's great they are freshly fried instead of made ahead. The lunch portion doesn't have a lot of meat, but with the delicious sauce scooped over the rice, along with the naan and other food, it's not likely you will go hungry, and given the price, I think it's a fair value. Service is on point too.

    Baingan Bartha
    Danielle B.

    This was our first time trying out Ashoka, and it was a great experience! We started with the gabi lasooni, which was good and they were able to make mild but still have a lot of flavor. I was excited for the Baingan Bartha - one of my favorite dishes - and it was very good and smokey. I loved that there was a whole vegetarian section with lots of options! I'd like to come back and try other veggie dishes as well. We both also ordered a mango lassi and garlic naan. Service was very friendly and fast. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice - the decor felt upscale but comfortable at the same time. The decorations are fun and festive, and for a Friday night date night, it was great with mood lighting. We are happy to have found a good Indian restaurant in Pinecrest and will be coming back soon to try more dishes!

Let's start with the good, because credit where it's due: the food is genuinely excellent, particularly the fish and seafood, which were the clear stars of the spread. And our server, while I'll get to a quibble shortly, was fun, warm, and thoroughly professional. Now the rest. Brunch should feel like a leisurely indulgence, not a contact sport. The meat station had a queue of 20+ people at peak -- I came for great food, not a deli ticket. The space is crowded and genuinely hard to navigate. Champagne required actively hunting down a server, whereas the Setai simply leaves a bottle at your table and lets you breathe. Coffee is $7 a cup -- at a brunch of this price point, charging for coffee feels a little cheeky. Then there was the pacing. Well before our two hours were up, our (otherwise lovely) server began the gentle wrap-up and produced the bill -- which is a curious energy for a "linger and enjoy" brunch. And we were charged an extra 2% as a "large party" of seven... at a buffet. Where we served ourselves. I'm still working out the math on that one. If you want a beautiful setting, live music, better drinks, attentive service, and zero queues, the Setai brunch wins -- every single time. Mila, save it for the nightlife.

Mediterranean (specifically Lebanese) food is perhaps my favorite on this planet, but this place severely disappointed. I want to start off with the good. Nice, friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere. And all the sides we had were great. Now, the bad. We got the beef shawarma, and it was ok. The shawarma itself was largely bland, and just tasted like cut up steak bites with no flavor. However, that's not the worst part. I had an absolutely nauseating experience with the arayes, which is one of my favorite dishes that I make at home from time to time too. It smelled like cigarettes, gasoline, and death. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm not sure what kind of meat it was, I assume lamb, and I've had experience with lamb that had gone bad in the fridge, and the texture was very reminiscent. I hope that's just a coincidence, and the smell was from another source. More so than the texture, again, the smell was enough to make us gag, and I have a strong stomach. I'd give lower, but I was treated fairly, and that would feel unfair. Thankfully, I'm not in this area that much, but I hope I just got unlucky and everyone else had and will continue to have good experiences here.
