From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2011

Asha’s is buried at the end of the gilded maze of WAFI. The outside terrace, of pleasant dark wood and pale stone, and soft Indian music, makes for an excellent setting, despite the intrusive boom of the periodic concert songs played in the open-air centre of WAFI. Dig into the lime chutney with semi-circular popadoms, which has a pleasant sharp tang to counter the smoothness and cool of the mango and mint chutneys. Follow it with ‘amritsaari machli’ to start – essentially deep fried hammour – which are round, bhaji-looking items that have the most flavoursome, warm fish inside a light coating.

With a good selection of kebab and curry dishes, Asha's makes a mean ‘monaji chicken curry’, a generous and wholesome dish in a pot with green chillies, coriander and tomatoes, the meat sweetened with almonds, while the sultanpuri kebabs have a dry crumbly texture that are tasty at first, and then cry out for a sauce or dip of any kind. For dessert, the pista kulfi is refreshing, with the ice cream nestled in an intriguing portion of vermicelli, mixed with sugar-syrup and saffron. The restaurant excels on the unexpected, with some pleasant touches, though none of them fully accounting for the added margin of price compared to its rivals.

As advised by management, Asha's is not an authentic Indian restaurant rather it is 'contemporary' Indian cuisine. That is highly debatable given the dishes on offer and presentation - names are 'athentic' Indian and so is the presentation - basic. Management should visit Indigo by Vineet Bhatia to get a feel of contemporary Indian food !

Moving on... visited Asha's (Wafi) thrice (mix of business dinners and family visits) and believe I have narrowed down on what to order. Stick to the non-veg kebab platter, daal makhani and roti/naan and AVOID everything else (if you are from the sub continent). On the other hand, my colleagues from the West love the food !

We (Family of 7) went to the relatively newly opened Asha's at the Mall of Emirates yesterday.

Being a friday night, the place was crowded but the hostess was really nice and managed to get us a nice enclosed place within 10 minutes.

Raj, the waiter attending to us was patient and helped us in picking the right dishes, especially important when ordering curries/gravy dishes since the base of most are common and you risk ordering similar tasting dishes.

We ordered malai chicken kabas (Excellent) and the prawn starters (Pathetic, tasted bland and was only palatable because it was deep fried and had a crunchy exterior).

The drinks (Mocktails, Lassi's and the fresh orange juice) were OK.

The three main dishes we ordered were a disaster (Methi Chicken, Laal Maas and Goan cashew chicken). The dishes were flat, tasteless and devoid of any flavour. The meat did not come across as fresh.

The breads (Naan/Tandoor Roti/Kulchas) were over baked and lacked flavour.

Towards the end of the dinner, the restaurant manager Pankaj approached us an enquired about the food and we gave our feedback to which the response was that the food is 'not authentic indian' 'contemporary' 'aimed at a wider customer base of arabs and other nationalities' who have a lower level of tolerance for spiced food.

I guess i will have to agree with Pankaj on this (No sarcasm intended), Asha's seems to be an upmarket and pleasant restaurant for the average diner who would like to try out Indian food. For an Indian/Pakistani diner this would be really flat and bland. I kind now understand how a Chinese/Italian/Mexican would feel if he/she visits one of these Chinese/Italian/Mexican restuarants in the US or India.

Overall we were happy with the ambience and the service but the food was very dissapointing.

Very disappointed with food and service.

Equally disappointed on the Time Out Dubai award!
its time somebody should review the requirements for the award???

The food was below average, Tandoori rotis were horribly stale and hard to crack, after expressing our displeasure, delivered freshly prepared soft one. Service was below average, we ordered sheek kebab and they delivered tandoori chicken. No courtesy extended to replace on stating the wrong delivery???

Definately not value for money !!!

Only ambience/decor is good.

It was my birthday, and a spoilt treat for my friends and family after spending all the money...

Wake up Asha and Time Out, its TIME OUT

Terrible, probably the worse Indian restaurant I've been to, probably ever.
It is unthinkable Timeout has given them a prize for Best Indian. There are only two options:
1) Timeout does not know much about food
2) A favour is being made to a friend
Although this is not the first time I've thought option 1 was the case, option 2 is the more probable scenario in this case.
Tarnishing your own branding and reputation to help a friend is not a good strategy to follow.....
Please stop losing credibility and recommend only truly good restaurants.

STARTERS?
Seafood platter VERY GOOD;
Vegetable tandoori NOT GOOD - too dry, too less spices, find it hard to chew and swallow
MAIN COURSE?
Keema with secret spice recipe NOT GOOD
Dal Makhani VERY GOOD
DESSERTS?
Apple Jilebi NOT GOOD - it just sticks to the teeth, certainly not recommended at fine dining
Warm Chocolate pudding - GOOD - combination of chocolate pudding, Mango sorbet and Mango Syrup taste strange.

Ashas MOE
Food - Baingan Barta - Bland n Green no one eat, Vegetable Masala- good flavour- Dhal Makhani - Too much cream and sweetish, Veg Biryani - the worst one could find in a fine dining restaurant-Had a korma like masala and was also sweet. ( overall food was heavy and oily)
The staff & Manager polite but displayed no customer service skills or concerns towards guest feedback.
A disapointing meal.

Visited on my daughter's birthday on Aug 14, 2011.
Decor : was pretty good
Service : Was a bit slow. Had to try a lot to catch the waiter's attention
Food : Papads and mint chutney was very good and tasted even better as they were complimentary. We had ordered veg kebab platter which was two pieces each of seekh kebabs, paneer and some green colored starter tasting only of butter (i could not make out what it was). They were very bland.
The main food ordered were Hara baingan barta (supposed to be Asha's mai's favourite), Kadai veg, potato kulcha, paneer kulcha and gobi kulcha. The kadai veg. was ok. Though I personally liked the baingan barta, it was not liked by other members. The kulchas were heavy on the dough and light on the stuffings.
There was an additional service charge of 10% on the total bill. I dont know whether it is to correct on their part to charge the same. If somebody can elighten me.
The cost was generally high especially water. A large bottle costed AED 18, which i feel is atrocious.
The music was non-descript and there was lot of noise around.
Overall it was a pretty ordinary experience and I would recommend people to avoid it.

Decor: Amazing
Service: Don't expect a quick delivery of your order. Although you will be attended to promptly.
Bar: Good
Music: Indian light music. Predominantly Asha's own numbers.
Price: High. Around 180 AED per person without drinks!
Value: Low

Horrid experience!
the barra kebab was served cold, and aloo mutter tikki was stick from inside. dania murg has no taste just boil chicken in a bland gravy, worse dal makhani i ever had it was too sweet. if you eat with your eye close you think you are eating dessert.
Dishes names are exotic but taste very bad
Waiters forget to bring cocktail and at the end give excuse
Worse Cocktail I ever had
When I spoke to manager (prasanth)he seems to careless, and arrogant. in place of lisening to me he said thankyou very much we are very busy please dont come back. i only went because i have the discount voucher but now I will never go back there even if they offer me free
and definitely not recommended to anyone.

Asha's used to be a great place for Indian cuisine with fine food, service and value for money. I guess the fame has taken its toll on this once fine restaurant. My last 3 visits to this place has been anything but a waste of money and time. The food still remains the only highlight of this place. The service and the attitude of the staff is anything but appalling. You don't even get greeted properly anymore. The waiters are never around and it is common sight to see guests trying hard to get the attention of the waiters. It is not like they do not have enough of them, but they are too slow and do not have the intention to provide prompt and courteous service. They act pompous and do not smile, show an urge for hastiness all the time that results in their obvious display of impatience. The food is served very late and almost cold too. Any negative feedback about service or the food to the waiter is met with no regret whatsoever. The pricing is ridiculously high. A lassi costs AED 34 and breads are AED 16 a piece. i don't think that needs any more comment. I will never return to this place again. Even for a corporate sponsored gathering, this place is not a choice. The money is better spent at another Indian fine dining places like Zaika, Ashiana, Options, Indego, etc.

Asha's at Wafi was one of my favourites and was looking forward to celebrate my 14th wedding anniversary.

However we were very disappointed with the place....Asha's at wafi has lost the exclusivity and its standards there is no consistency either in food or service.

the music played was pathetic loud remix punjabi pop on the ocassion of Holi..there was no holi songs or ashaji's songs..I was disheartned that my special eve was ruined by this venue....Aasha's at wafi was known for its FOOD SERVICE ...THE MUSIC AS IT REPRESENTS HER AND THE BRAND.

I truely wish that Ashaji reviews my comments or visits her resturant at wafi to see and feel the disaster....

The service was bad the staff could not hear our request or order as the music was loud ...similar to a pub....there was no sign or resemblence of the brand the place was just like any PUB....the food was bad salty ..


I would have preferred going to aquiet place rather then visiting a restuarant which has disguised in a PUB.

Me and my husband were sad that we choose this place to celebrate our special moment of our life. I would recommend all my frnds and family never ever visit this PUB....asha's at wafi was a disaster.

Went there for the first time and it wasn't all that bad as put by some of the reviewers.
Appetizers were very good. Mixed Kebab Platter and Barrah kebab or gosht was very impressive. This itself was quite filling to begin with.
Ordered Daal Makhani (quite nice) and Butter Chicken Masala (alright) for the main course. One plate of bread is probably good for 2 ppl as we assumed 1 plate per person and ended up with lots of breads.
Service was good though it does take time for the meals to arrive but its not too bad if your in good company.
Bill for 4 cost us in the zone of 500dhs - excl. any juices or soft/hard drinks.

Being an Indian and not so much of a regular Indian diner, I would definitely put this up worth visiting atleast once.
As i said in the beginning, its not all that bad - Good family restaurant this is! Hope this helps

Food: anyone fond of kebabs would not enjoy them 'cold', we were served just that and on letting the staff know of the same....nothing happened. Then came the food which was warm although not steaming hot, something you would expect from food that's just come off the burner.
Staff: They've just been taught how to greet you but not how to address to customers concerns or evet serve them swiftly. It took them 10mins to get me ice for a warm lassi they served and on complaning for the cold-warm food-'i'm sorry, this is the best we can serve you'

In summary, inefficient staff, cold kebabs and warm lassi dont go well for any indian restraunt. Would not recommend.

I went to Asha's with a free gift voucher... I found myself lucky that I didnt spend from my pocket to eat there. There are much better places in Dubai with half of the price charged in Asha's
Its the most expensive food in dubai and the fact is its not worth paying for the quality of food served.
The service was nice I didnt have any other issue. The food was OK butbut that delicious...
I wontrecomend anybody to go there with own pocket. You can go there for coorporate dinners etc but with own pocket NO WAY.

We went to have a dinner for 2 in this restaurant. First time visit and the first impression was best. In this time of recession very rare to see restaurants full but that day night the restaurant was overflowing. it was a week day. we were surprised to see the crowd. on seeing the crowd, we decided to know what is there? We asked for a table but the staff couldnt find one immediately, and kindly asked us to wait in the bar till the time a table is available for us. we waited for about 30 minutes to get our table. the food was amazing and the service was impeccable. though the servers were running busy didnt compromise on anything in major. yes onething we found was the staff seemed to be short but our experience was great in this restaurant.
this could be our favourite restaurant in dubai. though we are yet to decide on one. a must visit indian restaurant in Dubai.

ASHA'S IS OFF MY LIST!

My friends and I used to be regulars of this initially excellent restaurant, which we dined at at least once a week. Then in late 2007, the new management started developing an "attitude" towards customers. You would call to book a table 10 minutes or 10 days in advance and they would give you the same lame answer like "oh sorry we're full all week but you can come around 11 pm and try your luck"... We then started going there without prior reservation to find out that often more than half the tables were empty and were not even occupied throughout our stay - on the many times they "miraculously" gave us a table after a 10 minute wait. They ofetn ask you if you'd like to wait at the bar, which, if you do, would yield better profits from the drinks they serve than from the food. Yesterday was the time we made the mistake of waiting at the bar and ordering drinks... We were told our wait would be 20-30 minutes because we had no reservation for a table for 3. Fine. As we were sipping on our drinks, a group of 3, who, like us, came in with no reservation and sat next to us at the bar. They order drinks and after 10 minutes, the head waitress comes to the bar, looks at them, then looks at us and decides to give them the next table. At this time we realized this restaurant obviously doesn't need to retain customers and decided we're better off having spending money somewhere else, where you'd get decent service and good food - which both can no longer be found at Asha's. On a side note, the bartender who prepared our drinks simply ignored our repeated order for poppadums but the entertaining part of our 45 minutes was watching one of the cooks through the kitchen window behind the bar licking his fingers while switching his hands between through the different ingredients...

On the brighter side of things, we ended up having a delicious Indian dinner at Zaika in Murooj Rotana. Excellent service, friendly staff, great food, and far better value for money.

You need an experience which will give you nightmares, proceed to Asha's. For the amount that you pay for food which in itself is mind bogling, the service that you get is outrageous. We a group of 10 family members on a very specail occassion with all enthusiasm and craving to visit Asha's landed up there and unbelievably had the worst expeirence of our life. We were seated in such a place which was near the entrance thereby paving the path towards the initial discomfort. There was absolutely no cooling and inspite of our repeated appeal, the support staff etc. preferred taking it into deaf ears. None of them even had the audacity to even comfort us. They didn't even seem to value their customers. Probably customer relationship management has to be taught to them. Overall the service that you get from them is disgraceful. The attendants are unreceptive & hostile. Mentioning about food, it was unsavory, flavorless. As an example even when you get into a simple restaurant, they offer us soaf an item which generally closes up the dine. In this case not only were we offered, but inspite of requesting, the staff around made it feel as it was a big task to get it along. It was a frustrating experience. Conclusively, it is not at all recommended to any one. Please do not venture into it even if you are Richie Rich. It is not at all a value for money.

Was very disappointed by Asha's especially since we were taking family who were visiting Dubai there for a special treat. They have very few options for the vegetarians at the table. The service is absolutely pathetic - there are not enough waiters to keep up with the tables on a busy Friday night. After we had finished our meal, we had to wait for an hour for them to get us one birthday cake and the bill. Overpriced and overhyped. WIll not be recommending this to anyone.
