Ashok Restaurant — Restaurant in Mumbai

I had seen a reel on Instagram about this restaurant and since I stay nearby in Prabhadevi, I thought of giving it a try. Honestly, the overall experience was very average, and I don’t think I would want to visit again.

First thing I noticed was that the menu was quite overpriced. Still, I decided to taste some of their delicacies to see if the quality matched the pricing. Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The only fun part was when my mom liked the way they served Fanta in a wine glass – we all had a laugh at that.

We had ordered:

Chicken Manchow Soup (₹180): This was actually good, no complaints here.

Crispy Chicken (₹440): Okayish, nothing memorable.

Chicken Lollipop Fry (₹380 for 8 pcs): This was good and well-prepared.

Murg Makhanwalla / Butter Chicken (₹330): Taste was fine but the portion was very small for the price.

Rotis (₹20 each), Chapatis (₹20 each), Butter Naan (₹60): Normal.

Half Chicken Fried Rice (₹150): Surprisingly tasty and probably the best value-for-money dish we ordered.

On the positive side, the ambiance was good, and their homemade Schezwan chutney deserves special mention. It was flavorful, prepared without artificial colors and with minimal oil – definitely something I appreciated.

But when I look at the overall food quality compared to the prices, it simply wasn’t worth it. Some dishes were decent, but the portions were small, and the flavors didn’t stand out. With so many better and more reasonably priced options available nearby, I don’t see myself...

Casual Dining at the Ashok Restaurant. 💥 At first glance the place might look a little dull, but trust me it's worth it.💥 🥘 We ordered dal tadka, paneer tikka masala and breads. What I loved the most was the cutlery, the plates were. • ↪️Follow @delhiguyinmumbai for food updates. ↩️ • Ceramic plates..., bowls made of glass. 🍽 🍴 Food arrived in about 10 minutes after ordering. • • 🥘 Dal tadka was served in separate bowls. It was steaming hot and was filled upto the brim. Dal tadka was actually the dal tadka I was looking for, it was thick, it wasn't watery like you find in many places and more importantly it had tadka in it. • • 🥗 Paneer tikka masala was also nice, it had a more subtle flavor to it. Tangy but not too spicy. Breads were served hot and fresh. Even the breads tasted better. • •

Ambience is ok, service is fast, food is hygienic and more homelike.

Extraordinary food..... Must visit... • • ↪️Follow @delhiguyinmumbai for food updates. ↩️ • •

Now, the beauty of gems is, they need to be discovered. I have been traveling around Prabhadevi for all my life and had missed this amazing restaurant, probably because it looks ordinary. All thanks to our friend, who insisted that we should dine out here once. I will be forever grateful for this suggestion of hers. Don't get deceived by the looks of the restaurant, it's small and modest, but Boy Oh Boy, the food is absolutely Mind-blowing. I have had the BESTEST BUTTER CHICKEN (Must Try) and I caaaaann't wait to get my hands on it again, ahh, my mouth is watering while I type this, and it doesn't end here, the service was so impeccable, it was as if we were dinning at our relatives house. A huge shout out to all the foodies out there, do try this amazing joint and...
