"This vegetarian Gujarati spot in Wembley has a warm, laid-back, canteen-ish feel to it that’s only heightened by groups of friends, old and young, with their eyes fixed on ludicrously thin rotis and ears open to whatever tea is being spilled. Never the excellent chai, incidentally. Asher’s Africana’s Gujarati special includes five ghee-smothered roti, two vegetable curries, samosas, lassi, and yoghurt. It’s the perfect laid-back group dinner spot when you forgot to make a booking." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Asher’s Africana opens at 1pm every day and often has a backlog of orders by quarter past. The cash-only Gujarati restaurant in Wembley has a social club feel to it, with family and friends eager to pile into the pared-back beige room for wafer-thin roti and comforting curries. The Gujarati special thali—with five ghee-laden roti, two curries (a meltingly good aubergine and potato number stands out), daal, achaar, rice, sweet yoghurt, and two delightful little packed and fragrant samosas—is a generous meal for one." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"A meal at Asher’s Africana is worth it for the roti alone. This cash-only Gujarati canteen in Wembley makes wafer-thin flatbreads dripping with ghee that you could quite happily shovel, one after the other, with nothing else. But they’re even better as part of a thali. The platters come with a choice of warming curries that change not just by the day, but by the hour, and there’s an entire a la carte menu should you want to lean in for the long afternoon or evening." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing

"No, they cannot deliver to your bed If you’re sitting down for a meal feeling worse for wear, then you want it to be in a restaurant that’s going to stroke you on the head either literally or metaphorically. Asher’s Africana is one of those places. The family-run Gujarati restaurant in Wembley has a constant hum of family and friends to it that’s comforting rather than overwhelming, and its vegetarian food works in the same way. Have a settling glass of warm chai, tear at some flatbreads covered in ghee, and scoop away at a series of warming curries." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
