Indian restauant@ Villaggio

Do they have fish head curry.....??

We ate at Ashas today, service was nice, the Kebabs were okay, Biryani was crap, chicken okay, but deserts were very good.

If i go next time i'll probably just eat their Kulfi and Halwa.

Went to Asha couple of weeks back, it was so crowded that we decided to eat at Sarai. Was in villagio today and found it was totally deserted.

I ate at Ashas a few days back and I am sorry to say that the food is bland and totally unappetising.

But the service and ambience are good.

They treat you royally and the time to get your order would be around 20 minutes.

The fooe is not tasty at all.

Dunno how you missed "VASANTHA BHAVAN" good for South Indian Veg Dishes esp the ones u r craving for.

" Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver... the other gold. "

Had lunch there today.... food was ok but expensive. Service was TERRIBLE.

I'll stick with Bukhara. It's close to home, I like the atmosphere, the service is always good, and the food is better.

ksarat16 my friend,slight correction there if i may,Indian families IN DOHA don't frequently eat out & Indians IN DOHA mind spending,because the same is not true of say Dubai or Bahrain & for that matter India itself where today,it is damn near impossible to get a table on a weekend at a good Indian restaurant in any of the metros without a reservation...Qatar just attracts the wrong sort of Indians i guess :)

there are a few south indian restaurants..like

The Garden restaurant - near the souqs

Aryaa's - in al meera in Mansoura besides appollo clinic - pure veg

Vasanth Bhavan - Crazy signal (not too good)- pure veg

Folks do you know that there is actually nothing called "Indian Food" for a simple reason each state in India has its own food habits and raw materials used. What you eat are largely mixed indian food which a little piece of all..or mostly used in a few states in India.

I actually want to open a restraunt which has reciepies from each part of india and make people aware of the different tastes..but a few things are holding me back..anybody care for finance and sponsorship? I can do the rest of the things..

i was supposed to eat there last nite.. but somethin made me go to macaroni grill.. and the thing i ordered wasnt great.. after seeing this thread i think i shud have gone there.. lol.. btw dont the waiters luk a bit funny in that dress..

Great ambience and good food although it is a bit on the pricey side. I loved the biryani!

I will certainly try out Ashas as i enjoy indian food, I usually go to the Maharajah, nothing fancy and well priced (does one of the best chicken tikka massalah I have tasted. Frequented by many Indians it has a small basic restaurant area at street level and a family area upstairs which is usually busy!

Yes Ashas is one of the best but the price is abit steep.

That place is over priced although the waiters are very friendly.

The lebanese woman (I think) who greets people was a total a$$

After our order came ONE HOUR later, she tried to give excuses BEFORE we even explained what was going on.

She had a rough tone and tried to blame US for the delay saying 'we asked for the food to come together".

I said "no we didn't". She said "yes you must have".

No apology no nothing. So I call over the waiter and say, "Did we ask for everything to come together". He said "no I just assumed you wanted the appetizer to come with the main meal, I'm sorry about that'.

HE apologized, and she just walked away. *sighs*

I am not into North Indian food like Tandoori stuff, kebabs, Butter chicken etc bcoz our Pakistani food is very similar to North Indian food.. Would anyone please guide me to the best South Indian restaurant in Qatar..

they are similar to Shikampoori kebabs of Hyderabad

"Ashas recipes will capture your heart from the wonderful array of tandoori Kebabs created from succulent meats flavoured with authentic herbs and spices to the recognizable traditional biryanis and curries"

I love Indian food.

I eat it all the time at home.

For lunch I eat the indian food prepared on site for the workers and I am forever getting funny looks from them as I tuck in.

I will deffinately try Ashas but I would love to know of any more good Indian resturants.

Call me Maninibat!

I used to frequently visit this place chingaari at Ramada but lately I have been going to Bombay Balti which is equally good.. Taj Rasoi is not bad and Bukhara is nice too but nothing can beat a pure south Indian meal.. Yummmm.. Garam garam Idlis, Varas, Masala dosa, Sambhar, Iddyapam, putta kadela, Uttapaa and so on.. Which is the best South Indian restaurant in Qatar? I used to love Welcome but unfortunately they closed down so now I go to Aryas a lot but the food is nothing compared to Welcome. I would appreciate some suggestions.

with the waiters and they tell me its been open just a few weeks and it seems like months .. with so many nationals and expats visiting...Do let me in any nice dishes that you guys have tried and that you can recommend. The Indian desserts are yum, also the Mango lassi... slurp slurp

HI everyone...you must try the "Bombay Balti" at the Ramada Plaza...Though the menu is limited ,the food is great

ok. I'll meet you outside the restaurant. If you don't see me, just keep waiting. loool

and I guess you missed the other side of the deal, if you do like it then you take me there and treat me...now thats a DEAL my friend...LOL!!!

there were very few Indians/Sub-continental ppl dinning there..

all were Qataris, Lebanonis/Arabs and Weterns....:)

Ok will do that.

Well how about trying Taj Rasoi at the Marriott ... have you tried that, trust me I have been there and that was superb...

Ok ksarat I'll take your word for it. I really like tandoori chicken, butter chicken with assorted nan. I have found that tandoori chicken tastes better in restaurants. I might have some every couple of months. If I don't like Ahshas I'm holding KSARAT responsible which means I'll track him down and make him pay me back. looool

Good to see that you dine at Indian Rests...I think the main reason is that Indians are not much of a frequent eaters outside as in the families not the younger generation...and trust me Indians mind spending...LOL!!!

So thats why you dont have that many quality or signature style restaurants...like in most other countries...

But this one Ashas is a high class quality chain of restaurants which only does FINE DINING,, so I would presume that this would be real nice...will try it very very soon!!!

Wasnt I right...BINGO...LOL!!!

Should find out who is the damn owner that had that much courage to open a restaurant in Villagio...o well maybe different Target Audience...

I have found that the majority of Indian restaurants in Doha are terrible. I am suprised that the Indian restaurants here are so bad because we are close to India. The Indian food in America is much better than here. The only one I eat in is Bukhara near the tennis stadium. So I hope this place is good.

Asha is the name....as KSA said...

and its owned by Asha Franchise....
