"A Fine Jewel in the Marina"
The ONLY restaurant in the Marina District
offering fine Indian dining!
When you dine at Ashoka Restaurant you
will enjoy some of the finest Indian food in the Bay Area. We offer
a broad selection of the best and most popular Indian food from around the vast
and varied country of India. All our food is prepared using the
freshest and most authentic ingredients, cooked on the premises to meet your
specific requests and to satisfy the most discriminating of tastes.
Ashoka is a small
privately-owned restaurant which takes great pride in bringing the greatest
measure of pleasure and satisfaction to our customers. We strive
to provide you with personal and attentive service in a quiet and romantic
atmosphere.
We are open nightly to serve you some of
the most exquisite Indian cuisine you will find anywhere. All our dishes are
prepared by our fine chef who has a natural flair for subtly blending a
variety of exotic spices to create unique flavors and mouth-watering dishes.
The nutritious dishes, robust flavors, and rustic undertones attest to the
notion that Indian cuisine can be as subtle and finely balanced as you will
find in the finest French cuisine. Our menu emphasizes some of the best
recipes derived from royal households, not from commercial kitchens. Our
chef spent his formative years with the Oberoi Hotel Group in India.
Ashoka is the new name we have chosen to represent
the royal derivations of our unique dishes. Emperor Ashoka the Great was an
Indian emperor, who ruled the Maurya Empire in present-day eastern India
from 273 BC to 232 BC
We are the same owners you came to know in Bombay
Feast/Bombay Curry House. We have significantly upgraded the restaurant to
provide you a modern, elegant dining room to dine and relax in comfortable
surroundings.
From the
bold new entrance to the imperial Travertine stone tile floor set in jewels
to the soaring colors of the high-ceilinged walls, the restaurant has been
designed to impress you and your guests. You will be enchanted by your
intimate and romantic dining experience, softly lit by elegant Italian drop
lights at each table. You will
be even more impressed with the food you eat.
Pictured below is how the dining room looked before the recent
remodeling.
