About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

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.

The food was excellent and the service was first rate with the waitstaff very well informed and able to explain the menu and make suggestions that suited our group. The only damp spot on an otherwise very enjoyable evening was the volume of the five women on the table next to us who became louder as the evening progressed with shrieks and excessive noise as they imbibed. To be fair, they were not offensive at all and perhaps as our group represented an older generation who prefer quiet conversation in future an evening early in the week when (maybe) things are a little quieter might be the better option. 10/10 for food and service.

The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by Mel, who was professional and patient. She answered our questions and accommodated our dietary requirements while also providing explanations of the menu and some helpful suggestions. The food was outstanding! The fresh Turkish bread paired perfectly with the homemade hummus, and the beetroot dish had an ideal balance of sweetness and citrusy sourness. The broccolini was fresh and complemented by delicious spices, making for a simple yet delightful dish. The baked pumpkin brought out its natural sweetness, and the spicy pumpkin seed sauce created a fantastic combination. Overall, we had an excellent experience and will definitely visit again!
