About the restaurant

asha is a contemporary Australian restaurant with a Middle Eastern influence.
Find us in the leafy suburb of Goodwood, Adelaide, 2 doors down from Good Gilbert. This intimate dining space has been designed to elevate neighbourhood high-end casual dining, transporting you in time and place.
We have 3 distinct dining areas available, a hotel-esq bar with deep stools which will allow you to oversee Chef Scott Fox and his team cook for the restaurant whilst you can watch the hustle of the bar, with it's tall custom built cherry oak shelves, before you - we think this is our favourite spot. Alternatively, you may find yourself in our intimate bar booths wrapped in blue velvet and leather, these are very cosy and are best enjoyed with some of your best friends or family. Lastly, our main dining space will be for those who prefer a more formal setting with a little more space, banquette seating and dining chairs.

We had lunch here. This was our first time and we were quietly surprised. The food was very good. Very modern take on Vietnamese food. We recommend the open spring rolls we had the pork it was full of flavour and delicious. The chicken and the eggplant were very good. Our only negative was that that the restaurant was very cold. It was cold outside but there was no relief inside, a small negative. Overall we recommend and we will return. Thanks

Food was excellent as usual but the wine list is a disaster. If we wanted cheap wines we wouldn’t be dining at Shiki’s. The best wines were unavailable due to ordering issues and the only choices were in the $20 dollar range from the local liquor store. Need to offer premium wines and make sure they are available. Overall the food was excellent, service was excellent but the lack of quality Red wines let the experience short of our expectations. We have been dining at Shiki’s for over 25 years and this is the first time we have been disappointed. Hopefully management listen and update the wine list with quality wines.
