(19 Ashton Lane in Glasgow, United Kingdom)

A cobbled street called Ashton Lane, just off bustling Glasgow's Byres Road, is home to a delightful...ly bijou Indian restaurant called Ashoka. The intoxicating aroma of all things spicy is a bit of (an enticing) giveaway. Its proximity to Glasgow University campus makes it popular with students, though don't go expecting a shabby restaurant. There's a rather magnificent Indian market scene mural along the back wall to ogle. And most tables are arranged in booths, creating a discernibly cosy atmosphere. At £6.96 for a two-course business lunch, or £4.95 for a thali meal, Ashoka Ashton Lane offers fab value curries. They're filling too, so you usually end up spending less than you might expect. Please be aware that children are not allowed in the restaurant after 8pm. Opening hours: Mon - Thu 12pm - MidnightFri & Sat 12pm - 1amSun 5pm - Midnight Lenny Henry and Billy Connolly have eaten here. [moreless]
