Loved Ashoka Southside, loving Asoka Muirhead. Not exaggerating to say it was a factor in choosing Muirhead to move to. Pakoras and samosas are among the best I've had, and I've found my perfect lamb main - dhaba curry (I ask for 'spicy' - the standard is too mild for my liking). Portions are generous. Veggie options are limited (no brinjal, no okra, no call for it round here says the manager). Takeaway is good too, as I can have a pint of Madri lager in their nice bar whilst I'm waiting.

The restaurant at my hotel nearby was closed so I ordered the food to be delivered. The service was quick and the food was amazing, as good as any I've had elsewhere and a lot cheaper. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

The best Chinese in Muirhead (and beyond). Their crispy shredded chicken is incredible, as is their chicken curry. When you sit in from Sunday to Friday their current deal is soup, main (with rice or noodles) and dessert for 15. The dessert isn't anything special but it's still a cracking price.

A really good Chinese restaurant. I've never used the takeaway but it's a brilliant restaurant experience. Very professional staff who present the meals in a visually stunning manner. Everything i've had here is delicious and the price is very reasonable for what you get. Thank you for a fantastic birthday for my mum,
