Ashoka Ashton Lane

Ashoka Ashton Lane sits on the famous cobbled lane off Byres Road that is the social heart of Glasgow's West End. One of the city's most-reviewed Indian restaurants — ranked in Tripadvisor's top 50 in Glasgow with over 2,000 reviews — it has earned its reputation through consistent, generously portioned Indian cooking at prices that undercut most comparable establishments. The lamb biryani is a recurring highlight in reviews, as are the warmth of service and the gluten-free options. A recent renovation added a ten-seat chef's table for special occasions. The room captures the rustic charm of Ashton Lane — candlelit, vibrant and unpretentious. Authentic spicing, vegan options and knowledgeable staff make it as popular with regulars as with first-time visitors to the lane.
