Brilliant love this place friendly staff good tasty food.
I came here with my girlfriend as we were looking for local Indian cuisine as we were away for the weekend. I must say this place doesn’t disappoint, I am delighted we made the choice to come visit this place.
Kamrun was very nice and attentive. The other two waiters were very friendly, one waiter even charged my phone for me when I asked which I really appreciated. They explained the menu and what their specialties were.

We already have a favourite Indian restaurant we’ve been going to for years and years and were reluctant to try something new but we were really surprised.
The restaurant inside was nicely decorated. I liked the atmosphere, menus and that the cutlery came in its own little envelope. The tables and seats in the booths are very comfortable.
Service wasn’t poor but wasn’t exceptional either. We were surprised about how busy they were on a Tuesday night.
Starters were delicious and the quality and portion size of the mains was very good. Chicken was really tender and dishes were really tasty.
The only reasons I wouldn’t give this Indian 5 starts is because one of the plates were dirty and a bowl had 2 chips around the rim. Also, there was an inedible cracker on the mains which seemed VERY out of date.
The only deserts they have available is sorbet/ice crème, whereas I would have liked to see a little more variety. We were offered a drink on the house after our meal which was nice.
They were taking part in the “Eat Out to Help Out” and we had £20 off our meal which was nice. It’s generally quiet expensive compared to our favourite Indian but we would visit again.
There was hand sanitiser available but they could do a little better with spacing people out.
Great tasting freshly cooked on site food. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the regions each dish comes from.
And best of all its not expensive to eat here.
Highly recommend Ashoka
Exceptional Food and service!!!
Amazing portion sizes and quality, friendly environment, highly recommended 👌
Ordered takeaway 20-30min collected and was really nice. Lamb momo, chicken pakora (ask for it). Ashoka biryani was yum, we ate too much it was that good! Edit: 21Jan2022, we decided to sit in and it was sooo good, great service. The food is tastes great served fresh, you must. You just must come and dine in.!
Loved the food. Especially the Sunday buffet
Quite simply, I've used this place for 9 years. They've never made a mistake, the food is always lush, the price is excellent and they never take long. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
First time here tonight . And I can honestly say one of the best Indians I’ve had in Hoddesdon !!! .
Service was great staff were quick and and on the ball , food was nice with loads of flavour and taste . And just genially a good atmosphere. We will definitely be returning and will also let our friends no.
Great food 👍🏼
We didnt have a booking but was seated straight away which was great. Started with poppadoms which were accompanied with the usual dips as well as a coconut flavour dip which I have never had before and that was sweet, very nice.
Then for main went for the lamb jalfrezi, nice and spicy but not over the top. And one of the Ashoka specialty dishes called colckotta chicken which was also spicy, but the flavour was incredible.
I would absolutely return to this restaurant and I plan to do so very soon. Will take pics next time as I forgot to do that this time.

Decided to take two of my sons out for a meal and, as one of them rarely opts for Indian food, we came here.
Kind of guessed that it would be packed so booked in advance.
It was busy on the two previous occasions I've been here but tonight it was packed and there was a seemingly constant queue of people waiting for a table or a takeaway.
This, along with people making the most of the "Eat Out to Help Out" offer, meant that service was slower than it normally is.
No big deal...I often wonder why people moan so much about having to wait ten to fifteen minutes for their food.
The staff, under pressure, remained calm, polite and highly professional.
We shared a couple of starters, after poppadoms of course, and a selection of mains including chicken, lamb and prawn dishes, several vegetable sides, a couple of different rices and naan washed down by draught Cobra.
Not wanting to overeat, we requested a "Doggie bag" as there was a decent amount of food left and we were not going to let it go to waste!!!
So that's three out of three for Ashoka.
Three times I've been here, three times I've experienced great food and service, three times I've taken food home for the following day.
Maybe next time we will order fewer mains, or miss out on the starter, so that we can try one of their desserts.
Lovely food and lovely people 10 out of 10.
It's always been between the raj and ashoka,this place is winning at the moment best Indian restaurant hands down in hoddesdon.
Have had plenty of take aways from here and food has always been good and reasonably priced. Have never eaten in the restaurant itself so cant comment on the service etc however whenever i have picked up the takeaway the staff have always been friendly and polite.
Great food and service, food came out really fast even though they were very busy, shout out to Khan our waiter who made the night extra special
Consistently good food and excellent service. The waiters are very courteous, polite and nothing is out of the question. The menu contains some amazing chef's special, well worth trying them, you will enjoy the atmosphere too as the tables are well-spaced to you get privacy.
