Asha Tandoori - Newark and Sherwood

People clearly like it, fair enough but my last night visit was the last one (did go once before, didnt like it but decided to give another go, never again). We waited ages for food. (Sat at the table 8.30, main served after 10pm) papadoms arrived with chopped onion not mixed with coriander, tomatoes only sliced onion, there was mango chutney and pickles but onion was just sliced onion. Then mixed grill 1 onion baji, I sheek kebab and a kind of thin burger, no chicken. Main that was experience, horrible brown gravy cooked with onion, no flavour only heat from chillies, no other herbs noticed, awfully bland and hot despite asking for mild. Meat (lamb in my case) in it coked before separately and added, bland chewy, horrible. I am a curry lover, make my own as well, visited many places in Notts and abroad and must say this was the worst curry I ever had in my life. They charging for fine dining, serving something I wouldnt touch again.

Booked a table online 6 weeks in advance. the online booking tool worked perfectly. Arrived at the restaurant and was greeted by a member of staff who showed us to our table and took our coats. Orders were taken correctly, and all food that arrived was correct and hot. All dishes looked as you would expect. Resturant staff were all very good and attentive considering that it was a very busy Saturday night everyone and everything was well organised. I will be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good evening out and good Indian food.

Terrible. All of our Currys were the same colour (brown) and tasted exactly the same bland. Will not be going back.

Six of us visited Asha for a birthday meal. Without exception, the food was tasteless and visually poor. I had a biryani that just tasted of coconut oil and nothing else. The lighting in the restaurant is all wrong and makes the place look dingy and drab. The waiters were curt, didn't smile or interact with us in any way....and the one who took our payment, didn't even say thank you when I gave him a tip, that they didn't actually deserve. A poor experience all round.

Honestly if you have put 5 stars you have never eaten anywhere else before! Over priced and food is so average it’s unreal! There is no flavour in any dishes, I have eaten over 100 curries in different restaurants and would honestly say this ranked 98th out of them. Bread all butter, sagloo is just potatoes with spinach chucked in no flavour added, my masala honestly has 5 pieces of chicken in sauce that was like tomato, it’s meant to be sweet. I would never eat there again.
