Ashoka Indian Restaurant Miami

I love this restaurant. When we walked in there was more than 1 hour wait. Amazing food - goat curry, chicken chettiandu, lamb malabar, Paneer tikka & lamb korma. Finger licking delicious. We previously visited Bombay darbar & Bawarchi but this is the best restaurant hands down. PLUS point - love the grocery store.

For context: I used to work as a waiter and Christmas was always the craziest day of the year. I came in to have Christmas dinner with my family at Ashoka. First - the decor - USUALLY Indian restaurants are a cringe of bad decor but this place was freaking BEAUTIFUL and super clean! Nice water fountain in the middle, beautiful greenery and some Indian umbrellas as you go to the washroom. Second - the food - there are some dishes I ordered that I have had better in other restaurants but I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was Christmas and they were serving 200+ people at the same time. The flavors for me were a 8.5/10 Third - the service - honestly they were great! We were served by pretty much everyone because they were all working together to keep up with the orders and everyone was nice and apologetic about the wait. Trust me guys - this is a great bang for your buck, the food is delicious and filling and you will feel good about walking in these doors. For all those leaving bad reviews, you clearly are speaking from a place of privilege as these people are working their A*** off on Christmas day. Show a little grace!

I’ve been here several times within the last couple of months and every time it is better than before. The food is delicious and freshly made. I try something new every time and it never disappoints. In addition, the staff is super friendly and quick with their service. They also have an indian market attached. I would 100% recommend!
