Ashoka Indian Cuisine in Penticton

Thank you for your hard work Dedication & Consistency, pick up/ takeout/ delivery. Amazing every time! Portion’s, presentation, pricing! I love ur mango milk shake touched the taste buds perfectly. Keep up the hard work and the dedication!

Only a few Indian restaurants in Penticton. This one had all of the menu items needed , food good and service good also

Food was so good. Have a good experience.

Didnt find it authentic unfortunately. Good staff, but lacked authenticity and presentation

Even though the food tasted great, and was fresh, the pricing and portion was pretty off. Why would you serve so much rice and so less curry? It felt like you were trying to give less for more and as a responsible customer I would not enjoy wasting all that rice/food. Good food but not a fulfilling deal.

Amazing food and very hospitable! The owner and staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to make sure our experience at the restaurant and in town was great. Will definitely be going back on our next trip into town.

the food was fresh and very high quality!

We eat Indian food often, and this place is soooo good! The combos offer lots of food for a good price

I dont have option for zero star otherwise I would have given it the owner dont know how to talk I think restaurent have to get closed. we get to know new thing that chicken jalfreji dont have chicken but more veggies . and the quantity is so huge that it would take like 100 people to finish one bowl

owner is too rude ….. … worst indian food ever wastage of money …….

Worst indian food ever. Waste time and money. Owner was rude when we talk about food. Less quantity and taste less food.

Amazing food ! Catered food for 20 people and everyone loved it. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Update: Its been 4 years since I was here, and nothing has changed in the quality & flavour of the food!! Cant wait to visit again next summer! (Were from central Ontario)----------------------------------------------First time at a restaurant that serves Indian cuisine, really enjoyed it! There were six of us, we all shared, got to try a lot of new flavours. I will definitely be back when I visit BC next summer! Our waitress was awesome, attentive without being annoying, patient with our indecision, & our orders were accurate.

Very nice food and great service 👍Recommend !!

This place is hands down the best Indian food Ive ever had!

If I have to go to penticton I try to make sure Ill be there around lunch time to come in for the butter chicken special with beef samosas with their mint dip.

my go to place for butter chicken! i’ve never had a bad experience, the food is so flavourful & the garlic naan bread is definitely my fav

We ordered take out from Ashoka. This was our first (and lasttime ordering from them. For the price, the food was mediocre at best. The food was packed up very carelessly, so they should look at training their staff properly. The aluminum lid of the container was scraped and a piece was missing so we were worried about a piece of foil being in our food. They didnt pack the chilli cheese very well so it spilled all over in the plastic bag. The chili cheese was too chewey and the sauce was too sweet. We ordered an extra green chutney which was in the order but it was watery and not very good. They didnt include the original chutney that was supposed to come with the pakoras which was very annoying because the pakoras were dry and chewey and could have used some regular chutney. The papadam was packed in a plastic bag with the curry so the moisture made them soggy without that nice crunch you expect from a papadam, whereas some pieces were too hard and hurt the teeth. A couple of the pieces of Naan were a bit burned. The only dish that was decent was the dal yellow lentil which actually had a nice flavour. Thats the only reason Im giving 2 stars instead of 1, but either way we wont be going back there.

The food was amazing, and the service was impeccable, our server helped us with our choices as I cant tolerate overly Spicy/hot food and she got it just right.There was only 2 servers working and it did start filling up quickly but we were looked after extremely well . Its well worth a visit.

Chicken korma was awesome and the service was fast and friendly!

Horrible, I took my son out for his birthday, he ordered lamb ,they brought chicken, that was just the tip of the issues.they proceeded to say it was our fault we never ordered that and refused to correct their errors...my son has multiple barriers, it was horrible for him..they constantly starred ..glaring at us, and absolute bare minimum service. My poor daughter was so upset,she refuses to go back. I will not return there. So if u have a person with disabilities in your party, be aware and prepared to be shunned and treated like u are not really welcome/ wanted in their establishment.

I loved seeing your picture. I am in Japan right now. I am doing the work of Indian and tandoori . Contact us if you need it. We will give many such lives. +818047208500🙏

They give good portions, good prices and the food was tasty.

Just ordered food and I forgot to add some sides and they helped me out so generously.Thank you for delicious food and great service.Much appreciated

The beeeesssstt and I’ve tried Lachi and Summerland Indian restaurant and Ashoka beats them by a landslide!

Good food at very decent prices! Centrally located and parking spots available in front of the restaurant. The service wasn’t that good! Staff member was new and so not very knowledgeable of the restaurant’s food and services. Try out their lunch deals! They are good portion for very decent prices

Today we are going in restaurant for eating food is very good but servers very slow thay are don’t care for table just take order after food is coming to late in table after food coming then servers not come back to take care about table just seating on back counter .Please improve your restaurant service .

The food was very good, the staff were prompt in serving you and very friendly. This was our first visit and well definitely be going back.

I recently visited this place there food was good but there was one tall dark brown girl she was super rude with her service. We were waiting for the water to be refilled first she came after a long time literally just for the water and after that when she came with the water she just throw the water on the table and said anything else i have never seen that much rudeness in the customer service. It was a hilarious service I would never visit this place and I won’t even recommend anyone to go there. Everyone is going for the dine-in to get a good service and spending there money to be well served.

I had a delicious meal this afternoon at Ashoka. The hostess/waitress was extremely nice and talkative and helped me throughout my stay. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine.

Always delicious, fast and fresh. Its worth adventuring past your usual favourites to try new dishes here, theres quite a range and theyre all great.

First time I’ve gone out of my way to write a review. Clean place fast and the food was awesome first time that I’ve had a place where they have nailed everything butter chicken was 🔥

The food was excellent. Again most friendly. Service was a tad slow but the place was very busy. Will definitely go again. And prices are very good.

We had a family event and decided to book the family dinner at this restaurant so that everyone could come together in one place. The team did such an amazing job at making sure we had everything we needed. The food was great and the service was phenomenal.

1 The serving girl has a cute beautiful smile that will last long in my memory.2 Food tasty and reasonably priced.All gravy came with rice and that’s I found great.3 Washrooms testified they kept the place clean.

I went to pick my food from here, there were 3 girls at front but non of them great or ask what i need. no customer service at all, they all were having gossips after 5 minutes they got time to ask me what i need. Food was pretty, Restaurant was pretty nice and clean

You will not go wrong with this restaurant. A wide variety of dishes from across the length and breadth of the Sub Continent. Delicious 💯

Amazing food! The flavours and options of food were great. We especially loved the spinach and cheese stuffed naan. We would highly recommend trying Ashoka Indian Cuisine the next time you get a craving for Indian food.

Very good food, quick and friendly service. Ordered online, their website is lovely to use. My order was ready on time when I had asked for it to be picked up. I will for sure order again.

Not a great experience and it had been a long time since I did not tip. It felt ok and no guilt of this as I have been tipping 18-20% this year. From the start the no-tip was well deserved. SO this is how it went...We walked in and were told to wait - which is actually not bad. It was nice and cool and waiting meant the restaurant is busy and is most likely good. But this was the highlight from where it went downhill pretty fast.We were served iced water and we requested no ice. The girl basically took some of the ice out from some of the glasses and came back with ice still in some. I wont be surprised if the ice was just taken by hand. All 7 glasses was a table of 7 was dumped on the edge to be distributed by us. That was all. We had to ask twice to get the water refills to get a pitcher. No one seemed to care. Once the pitcher and the glasses were empty, no refills.... We didnt bother to ask.Now comes the china. 7 plates were just stacked with 7 large table spoons on the plate and given to us to distribute. No napkins. We had to ask twice to get 4 napkins for 7 people om the table. We had also had to ask tea spoons for the kids since the table spoons were too big. No forks or knives were given.The food was mediocre. We asked for mild butter chicken for the kids, butter chicken being their staple in Indian restaurants. They just had a bite each and did not touch it. It was too spicy. We had to ask for plain yogurt for them to eat something. The other dishes were medium in spicy but we could not tell the difference. The kids basically just reluctantly ate some rice and nibbled on some naan breads. The adults wanted to get out fast as it became muggy and the food wasnt good. I think the AC turned off towards the end. We just needed to get out fast.Note for the owner:Do something else. Clearly you dont enjoy this and you cannot serve. And hire some staff. Maybe hire someone to train them.It takes a lot of effort for me to do a negative review. Our experience was pretty bad.

Ive really enjoyed lots of the different curries available, as well as vegetable samosas and vegetable pakora. Everything is excellent. I always carry out but the staff are very pleasant. Chicken Madras is my favourite.

We didn’t like unfriendly staff taking order and serving food. The food Chhole which they call chana masala was not tasty and not well cooked. When I pointed out that to the girl she was adamant saying we cook like this only and people are habitual of this kind. Their quantity is too less than any other restaurant. Paneer was very hard but gravy good. Their menu was not uptodate. Staff has lots of attitude while talking to customers.

Very friendly staff and the food was amazing! We couldnt even wait until we take a picture.

Im really glad I gave this place a try. My friends and I were treated very respectfully, and the staff were so accommodating for my friends baby daughter!Their vegetable appetizer platter was a tasty assortment, their Naan was fresh and so delightfully fluffy, and the mango chicken was delicious. I will definately want to come back!

I called in an order for takeout and was disappointed that they had not only given us no napkins or cutlery, they also stacked the curries under the rice/biryani and the weight caused the containers lids to break.On the other hand, the food was great and during my brief time in the restaurant it seemed like a nice atmosphere.

Read this carefully(especially when you are taking outif you dont want to end up ordering too much like we did. Their combo deal is enough to feed three adult with good appetite. Curried were delicious, maybe if to knit pick butter chicken was a bit too sweet. Samosas were so organic. The size of their chapati is huge, probably as served in langar halls. I loved their food but just didnt end up eating it all. I wished I had tipped them more instead of spending extra on food. If in town will visit again.

Amazing food! Mediocre service. The mango chicken was so delicious and the spinach and cheese stuffed naan was also great. Our first server was great and knowledgeable but over all was hard to be acknowledged from the moment we arrived till we left. Food was good enough to go back though!

Lamb in curry sauce and rice with delicious garlic cilantro bread. Good food, friendly service, enjoyable experience.

You walk into this place and you know its authentic. The aroma coming from the kitchen is intoxicating... definitely​ the smell of all the Indian spices at work. The staff here were friendly. As for the food, a little on the bland side. Maybe it was just the dish we ordered, but other than that, great place for Indian food for sure.

Food was tasty, flavourful. Spice level was quite high even though we asked for medium. Service was not great. We came in the last hour of their service and we were rushed to make a decision. No one checked on us to see how the food was, because we would have said it was overly spicy for our liking. Had to flag them down to get the bill and the restaurant was empty.If the service was worked on to be more welcoming and interested in customers, it could be a really great place.
