Experience a different unique taste sensation at Asha. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we chose as part of the 3 course option. They were delicious, with surprising flavours and a subtle crunch. Didn’t make it to dessert, but there’s always another time. Service was fantastic.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff. We sat inside but it wasn’t noisy. Impressed they offer complimentary cold sparkling water, along with still, from help yourself taps. Order and pay at the counter which is good so that everyone can pay individually. Food was relatively quick and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had fish tacos which I enjoyed but didn’t realise they were a hard shell tortilla - much prefer soft but that’s just a personal preference. The onions ring are delicious. Will definitely return as we didn’t have time to have coffee, which I believe is very good.
