Ashoka at the Quay

I was part of a stag party and before we where due to meet up we chose to have dinner and chose the Ashoka.
With only six in our group we had to wait 20 minutes for a table and another half hour for dinner as the buffet table needed to be topped up.
After our heads up from the server that the buffet table was topped up there ended up being no plates to put your food on, and as for the buffet if it was any more bare it would have been naked, no salad as it was all gone and only chips left as a starter, no one had topped up the table in the first place.
The buffet table consisted of your Iceland items such as
Chunky frozen chips — French fries
Frozen battered onion rings — cheap pizzas
A few chicken wings and more battered veg.
Overall the selection was really poor and not what l would expect out of Ashoka.
The mains was a choice of four curries with three of them being chicken.
Above the buffet table was a hole in the ceiling that was covered with gaffer tape but was so obvious it was there.
The main courses was passable but not a place to go to on a special night unless your about to dump the girlfriend, and she will catch on straight away, the restaurant did not have an atmosphere and felt more like a Nando’s.

went here for my husbands birthday paid for in advance by our daughter.
she got a deal through social living and it was a cocktail each on arrival.
we then had spiced onions and pompadoms.
next came the starters chicken pakora, very nice with a good sizes potions
we had our mains and again they were quite nice, freshly cooked served with plain naan and rice.
we didnt have a sweet but for the deal we had £15 for two it was good value for money.
we had a look at their buffet and if we would have paid the
£10.95 for it we would have been very disapointed with the choice as it was very limited
