ASMA Steak & Grill — Restaurant in Wirral

The Asma restaurant in Moreton is without doubt a fantastic place to eat.

I met up with 4 friends at the Grange pub just down the road from Asma, the pub was quiet, tired looking and not very inviting, fast forward half an hour and were stepped into Asma, which on cold Thursday night was almost full!

Lots of chatter, welcoming staff, and a bright modern interior, shop much better than the pub!

As you can imagine 5 middle aged blokes having a meal midweek we did not go for anything vegetarian, (so yesterday) the menu has a great mix of food, but I went for a meatball starter in a tomato sauce.

So tasty! Lots of herbs and spices with a back note of BBQ flavour, we all enjoyed this and used the cumin, salt & pepper flat bread (Mmmmmm) to mop up the remaining sauce.

4 of us then had the same main course: LAMB CHOPS described on the menu as seasoned fresh lamb chops on charcoal served with an onion and mushroom stir fry and rice.

Then the plate of 5 lamb chops arrives, with everything else, it's very easy to describe as good sized meal 😋

The smell is mouthwatering! The chops are seasoned in a great selection of herbs and spices, cooked just right so that all the fat and very tender meat fall off the bone, very very tasty.

Everything else on the plate was tasty and enjoyable. No room for a sweet.

So all in all very tasty well cooked food, friendly and attentive staff, great atmosphere a place I will visit...

Went a short while ago, the restaurant was busy but it seemed like the kitchen was really held up. We were seated immediately and ordered within 5 mins. The food took an hour to come though, and when it came it wasn't that great, I had a lamb shank that could have done with a bit less cooking and would have been nice with more veg.

The service was really good and the waiter/host was really nice, he apologised to multiple people that night.

The atmosphere was ok - there were lots of families with kids, I felt like that ruined it a bit, they were running around bored. Some restaurants have a family section to keep bored kids away from other diners. At the end of our meal there were people waiting to be seated that seemed to have booked, they were waiting for over 15 minutes for a table, but the lack of a bar area meant that they were waiting awkwardly.

I'd go on a less busy day and hopefully more time could be taken on each meal.

Judging by other reviews, this isn't the typical experience at this restaurant, so might be a one off...

Visited for a meal with friends in October 2023, party of four. First time dining here.

Greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, and the restaurant was clean. Busier than we’d expected with it being a Sunday and a loud table with a screeching infant did detract from the experience. Staff were attentive, and we didn’t feel rushed at any point.

The highlight was the quality of the food – the menu offered a good choice and there were several things each of us would have had. All the meals were large portions and also excellent flavours – not often you get quantity and quality. I opted for the lamb kofte for starters (three very generous sized kofte all well cooked) and then the lamb shank for the main and it was delicious – the large amount of succulent meat just fell from the bone. I couldn’t finish it all, so took the remainder home in a doggy bag! Also a decent draught pint of Efes.

Would recommend, and would consider...
