Highly recommend We had a nice night at Asoka. I was hesitant about it as I read a few very bad recent reviews about the service. Being our last night out in CT I didn’t want to be disappointed. But the service was find, quick enough and friendly enough. The live band was absolutely great, playing soft jazz. The food was great-all tapas size, we had 6 plates plus 2 desserts which was more than enough. My husband said his cocktail was the best cocktail he ever had. They add 12% service fee to all bills.

Very beautiful restaurant with an Asian Fusion motive. The best starter is wagyu crockets and from the main fried polenta, tuna tacos are delicious. Malva cake is amazing! Great service and beautiful atmosphere

Food is always amazing👌as well as the doorman, real gentlemen. I find the hostess needs to find more polite ways of speaking to customers, there's a level of arrogance which is distasteful. Our waitress was lovely but the runner staff visited a little too much, we were convinced the kitchen was short of crockery & cutlery. Lighting can be a challenge, definitely suggest more candles or lamps at the tables. Still a unique venue with mysterious allure.

This venue has been around for many years, unlike many others ventures that sadly did not make it, the quality of food, service and ambience has been consistent from day one. Still one of our favourite places in Cape Town. A must for any visitor to CT. Keep up the good work guys, well done. R

I had been coming here frequently since late last year until April this year mostly on Tuesday nights for a good time, starting of with a live jazz band and a Dj later after that. My co-workers would call it Asoka Tuesdays, a booking is imperative or else you’ll stand in a long queue outside so make sure that you make a booking and don’t arrive too early, I think they open at 17:30 and Jazz band starts at 19:30 until 21:30 or 20:00 until 22:00. Reservations are made by call & email. Their cocktails are amazing and I’ve had the best cocktails here! So do give them a try!

We went to this amazing restaurant on a Sunday and had incredible food to share. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. I recommend the butter curry chicken if you like something warm and the tuna tartare if you like something cold. The chocolate brownie was also amazing. The meze platter was also perfect as a starter for all five of us.

Very cute, hip restaurant! Has a live tree growing in the middle (you’ll have to duck 😂) Small plates (tapas) and we shared quite a few. Creative drinks as well! Neighborhood is a little sketchy (our driver wouldn’t leave the van!) but definitely worth the effort! And so affordable!
