Specialising more in the finer end of Indian cuisine, Karim's offers a modern and well presented place to explore a few new curry dishes. I plumped for the Prawn Nowab, something i've never heard of before. Apparently the dish of kings, I had to pay the rather jaw dropping sum of £12 to feel like a royal. The dish was fantastic, but whether it was worth twice as much as my normal curry, I'm just not sure. Certainly a good choice if you're bored of conventional Indian food, the menu really does go beyond what you would imagine.

We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would eat there again. The only reason we didnt give a five star rating was because of the all too common practice of automatically adding a service charge, it should be OUR decision.

We eat there quite a lot and they always take time to have a chat even if the place is rammed. The food is so nice! I prefer to eat in rather than get a take away and last time I was in there I had the Lamb Kharai which was medium hot and really moreish. Gets very busy on a Friday and Saturday night so it is worth booking in advance.

The sauces were delightful and the rice was lovely and fluffy. This would be 5 stars if it wasn't for the slightly odd service. Yes, the food was served very quickly, but the entire attitude of the staff was seriously lacking in warmth. We distinctly got the feeling that they wanted us in and out of there as soon as possible. There was also a bit of lack of understanding about a dietary concern of mine. I can't have onions as they make me quite unwell. I'm under strict instructions by my doctor not to eat them, so I asked the server if I could have a dish without onions. He informed me that every single dish had onions. That's fine, but could I please have one without them? Seeing as the food is cooked fresh, I didn't really see what the issue was, so I just ended up giving in and ordered a dish and painstakingly picked the onions out. Aside from that, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Having heard such good things about this place, I was fairly surprised by the barely above average…read morequality to price ratio. Per head you're probably looking at spending upwards of £15, which is fairly standard, but having entered with high expectations my evening was a little soured. I think you need to understand that despite it's grand façade, Ashoka is in the mid-range market for Indian restaurants. For example, the food is by no means poor but due to the décor it feels more like a colonial Indian as opposed to a traditional Indian restaurant. I can't help but think that Ashoka are selling themselves short by opting for this more restrained interior/ atmosphere. Despite its aesthetic shortcomings I had no complaints about the meal. As a takeaway, Ashoka is perfectly good, as they offer free deliveries for every order over £15 and a 10% discount on orders over £12. As such, I'd be more happy to recommend Ashoka as a takeaway than as a restaurant but if you like your local Indian to have a more British feel, then you'll probably enjoy it.

As mentioned by Mike, from the outside, Ashoko looks quite well polished and sophisticated, but the inside fails to be that, while also failing to invoke the memories of a traditional Indian restaurant that has too often been replaced with these quasi-European 'lounges'. The food was ok, it just left me feeling like I could have been better served elsewhere.
