Asoka Restaurant, Bar And Lounge

The decor, music and ambiance added so much to the dining experience. Our waitress Taylor was incredibly attentive. The chili garlic prawns were divine, I’d eat a bowl of that sauce any day.

We visited Asoka on a Monday evening (13 January). <br/ They have a Monday madness special where you get to select 3 courses for R195 per person. <br/ <br/ Asoka is all about small plates and sharing and my mother was not entirely sold. However, she was after tasting the first course. <br/ <br/ We chose the Prawn tempura, a mezze platter as our first course. The mezze was absolutely divine and I wish I had chosen this instead as I literally only got 3 prawns but it is a starter portion. <br/ <br/ The second course we decided on the poke bowl, calamari and the ostrich fillet. It was absolutely delicious. <br/ <br/ For our last course, my sister opted for the west coast mussels, whilst I chose the butternut, spinach and Parmesan gnocchi. My parents took the braised lamb shoulder. All of the these were tasty and plated well. <br/ <br/ All in all, worth every penny and quite affordable. I love that I got to taste so many different foods which were well prepared. Our waitress was efficient and well-mannered.

I have been to Asoka on 3 occasions and have loved absolutely everything from food, vibe and service.

Absolutely fantastic food, great ambiance, trendy vibe in a must do restaurant, don’t miss out on one of the best restaurants in Cape Town

My partner and I visited Asoka on a date night, and what a great choice in restaurant it turned out to be. The interior is beautifully decorated and loved how the trees were incorporated into the interior. It was a rainy evening so the fireplace created a nice and cozy vibe as well. The waiting staff were professional and service was good. But the food is the real star of the show. Absolutely loved every plate we ordered, compliments to the kitchen! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great evening and amazing food.
