Less choice & price increase for various additions to the voucher menu odd before.

Service was great but menu definitely had less choice on a voucher deal & also portions were much smaller than previously . Another visit - probably not.
Not up to par on this occasion

Sorry to say I was not impressed with my visit to the restaurant last night.
Having been shown to our table we had a short wait to ordering our meals and drinks.
My Tiger Beer had a slightly chemical / disinfectant taste - my wife thought this too. She was glad a bottle of Peroni.
Starters were fine - poppadoms with spiced onions, vegetable pakora and spicey prawn poori.
I was of the opinion that the main courses - chicken tikka patia and chicken biryani were very very strong and over spiced.
My chicken tikka patia definitely was not tikka - there was no evidence of any skewer holes in the chicken pieces. In addition in both dishes the quantity of chicken present was very small. I was of the opinion that one small chicken breast was probably used between both dishes ( I cook curries from scratch myself at home).
For dessert I had my favourite Gulab Jamin and ice cream- alas the two Gulab Jamin balls were the smallest I had ever seen with little taste and the ice cream was very watery.
Finally service was very slow and we had to wait for quite a long time between courses and after the mains we eventually had to call over the waitress to place the dessert order.
I am of the opinion that this visit was not on a par with the previous visits my wife and I had made to the restaurant. However this will probably not stop us coming back to having a meal in the restaurant in the future. Based on these my answers below are based on previous visits visits and hopefully not wont be repeated in future visits.
A lovely meal

The staff were so welcoming and every course of our food was delicious. The only improvement would have been better lighting in the balcony area as it was difficult to read the menu.
Great value

2nd time we’ve bought the itison voucher for Ashoka Southside. We were so impressed first time that we also bought a voucher for our daughter.
Our second visit was just as good. Fresh, hot food served by charming and smiley staff. We had wine with our meal and the price is really reasonable - on a par with our local pub.
Would definitely visit again , especially if there are more itison deals
Absolutely amazing food, lovely staff.

We had 'itison' vouchers for a 2 course meal deal for two in this curry restaurant. The food was excellent, and a good selection to choose from. The main dish wasn't a huge portion but I think it was a perfect amount given the starters etc. They allowed 2 vouchers for a table of 4, which suited us perfectly. We did have drinks to pay for and a small service charge but as the vouchers were gifts it was a great value meal. The staff were friendly and our courses arrived promptly. We went on a Thursday evening at 7pm and there were plenty of other customers and a good atmosphere. If you haven't tried this place you should give it a go.
Great food and service - thank you.
