Gujarati thalis with wafer-thin rotis and warming curries
"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
"Sitting down in this Gujarati canteen for a thali is one of the most comforting meals you can have, not just in Wembley but in the entirety of London. Asher Africana’s rotis are a delight and the changing selection of vegetarian curries are all welcomely paired with their homemade mango lassi. It’s thick, sweet, and excellent preparation for a nap after several ghee-smothered roti." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"The cash-only vegetarian Gujarati restaurant in Wembley has a social club feel to it, with family and friends eager to pile in for wafer-thin roti and comforting curries. A shimmering silver mini thali tray—made up of three ghee-laden roti, a choice of one curry of the day, rice, and daal—is a generous, nourishing lunch or dinner for anyone." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"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
