Ashoka Finnieston is an Indian restaurant at 1284 Argyle Street in Glasgow. It serves dinner throughout the week and opens for lunch from Friday to Sunday, with table bookings and takeaway both available. Its Finnieston location makes it a practical stop before events as well as a relaxed destination for a full curry meal.
The chef’s menu draws on several regional styles. Chicken 65 and Amritsari fish provide crisp, spiced starters, while a rustic dhaba curry is inspired by the roadside restaurants of northern India. Chettinad, paneer kadhai, tadka daal and a slow cooked lamb and mince curry bring different combinations of chilli, coconut, tomato, garlic and garam masala to the main courses.
Vegetable, paneer and tofu can be used across a number of curries, and vegan and gluten free choices are identified where available. Coconut, lemon and mushroom rice sit beside naan and other accompaniments, allowing diners to assemble a shared spread. Guests with allergies should state their requirements clearly because the kitchen handles dairy, nuts, gluten, fish and many other common allergens.
Pre theatre, children’s, à la carte and chef selected menus give groups several ways to order. The range can be kept familiar with a creamy curry and rice or made more exploratory with lesser known regional dishes and street food starters. Ashoka Finnieston combines the accessibility of an established Glasgow restaurant group with a menu that reaches beyond a narrow set of curry house standards.
