This has become my go-to neighborhood spot for Indian. Everything I’ve had here is absolutely delicious. For delivery, you can’t beat their prix-fix options, which include an entre, appetizer, rice, and naan for $ 15. Plus, the entire menu is 50% off for lunch 7 days a week if you dine in, so this is the perfect hangover or late lunch stop.

Good authentic Indian spot. The food is good too. What reduced the stars is how unwelcoming the staff and the owner makes the patrons feel. We felt like we were bothering them by being the for lunch on the weekend. Maybe it was an off day?

Stopped in for dinner on the weekend recently, plentiful street parking since it’s very residential. Tried the chicken tikka — decent but I’ve had better. Also had the okra dish — prefer it cooked a different way so that wasn’t tasty for us. really liked the complimentary cumin spiced chip basket(i think that’s what it was). The place was relatively empty and quiet. Noticed a lady enjoying a meal herself and the server was attentive but not annoying. Would come back to try other things next time.

After walking by Asya a few times, I finally decided to order one day for dinner. The price fixe menu, in my opinion, is perfectly portioned and priced for what you are getting. And they make a damn good chicken tikka masala. The garlic naan was perfect. And these are easily some of the best veggie samosas I’ve had outside of Jackson Heights. The channa masala that the samosas were accompanied by was a very nice touch. Mango chutney is on POINT! Friendly service, great food, great price point. I can’t wait to actually go in and sit down for dinner!

I never understood why my side of Brooklyn has practically no Indian food and I had to always go to the city, but now who cares I found Asya. The interior is intimate and nice, and the service is great. The food: –Goat Korma: Very different then the typical one I get, a bit sweeter and some other different flavors, but delicious and a must for sure –Chicken Tikka Masala: Excellent, flavorful and creamy, chicken was very moist –Paneer appetizer: Great portion and good flavors And of course garlic naan is always a must Will definitely be my new go to for Indian

Asya Girl, where have you been all my life? Easily the best Indian I have tasted in a very long time, although I can only only speak for their delivery. Order the Prefix option for $ 15 and you receive an appetizer, entrée, basmati rice, naan, and a selection of 4 chutneys. Great bang for your buck. I tasted the samosa– flaky pastry filled with potato and peas resting on curried chick peas. I enjoyed the Aloo Papri– a medley of potato, chickpeas and crispy wafers and chutneys. The chicken korma boasts huge chunks of breast meat chicken, moist and gorgeous in an almond cream sauce. The chicken curry which has just enough heat, is balanced, bursting with flavor and oh so comforting. Delivery was exponentially quick, the food arrived piping hot and the generous portions fed me and my guest two meals for two days. Dare I say the leftovers tasted even better the next day? They sure did… wow-yum-nom-burp-scuse me…

I came here in a terrible mood, having just broken half my nail off, and the lovely service and food really saved my day. First of all, I came in for Lunch, mainly to see if the rumors about the insanely great lunch special were true – and they are! 50% off everything on the menu AND you get the same size portions! Lunch runs from 11:30 — 3:30FYI. To start off I ordered the Manchurian Cauliflower, which like other reviewers have noted is basically General Tsos Cauliflower. Main differences are instead of a gloppy, corn starch-y sauce, its very much so a chutney with fiery red chilis & ginger. Additionally, the cauliflower is not at all breaded. The dish isn’t spicy, although there is a nice lingering heat to it and the flavor is strong. Personally, this wouldn’t be something I would eat every single time, but if you’re in the neighborhood(Or not, that’s cool too) it’s definitely something to try. The dish should be shared between two people for an appetizer, if you order it for an entrée then by all means have at it! For my main dish I got Chicken Tikka Masala with a side of Garlic Naan. The naan was everything i need garlic naan to be, fluffy yet crunchy with a smooth garlic topping & flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala was perfect – its hard to go wrong with this dish in general, however certain places make it too sweet or not spicy enough, Asya has a perfect balance. Although the entrée portions may look deceivingly small(as is the norm in many Indian restaurants) they stuff in a lot of food, and the portions are perfect for one person. I finished mine entirely(a rare instance!) with just the right amount of fullness. Basmati rice was perfectly fluffy. In the future I probably want to try some of their flavored rices – I saw a coconut mint one on the menu that sounds mouthwatering. Service was perfect, my water glass was refilled whenever it was close to being empty, and waiters were always close by in case I asked for anything. I had to ask for chutneys, don’t know if that’s usual here but make sure you do so, the tamarind especially was great. The ambiance was what really set me on this place, its a very calm and relaxing place, and I would definitely recommend eating in instead of takeout if you have the time.(Also because the 50% off lunch special is only in store, I believe if you order in the restaurant for carryout you get 25% off.) As a current frequenter of the many Pakistani/Indian restaurants of Coney Island Ave, those places still have a place in my heart, but I’ll definitely go to Asya whenever I need calmer environment, plush seating, and calm swaying Indian music playing. Oh, and there’s also outside seating but I don’t know how long the weather will be good enough for that to be of use lol. The grand total for this near gut-busting feast – $ 13. Seriously, I was surprised as well. In conclusion, Asya is a friendly restaurant with delicious Indian staples as well as a fewer hard to find gems set in a relaxing environment – all for prices that are reasonable on their base price, and a steal during Lunch.

I order takeout from here more often than I should probably admit to. Delicious food, quick delivery, great ingredients. Their lamb vindaloo is wonderful. Not the spiciest I’ve ever had, but it is still very delicious.

Ordered take out from here on a Sunday night, delivered within 35m. I had samosas, paneer bhurjee and lamb korma. Everything was awesome. Lamb was tender and the flavor was great, rice was hot and fresh, samosas were the best I’ve had in a long time. The paneer bhurjee was definitely the best I’ve had as well, and if you’ve never had it, definitely worth a try. Would love to order from here regularly but we’re out of their delivery area; we were visiting friends nearby so that’s how I found them. Bummer. We’re smack between their two locations! Worth a small trek though; it’s hard to find good Indian around Park Slope, so I’m happy to venture out when it’s this quality.

This is one great Indian restaurant in a great and upcoming neighborhood in Brooklyn. The food reminds me of places I like to eat out in the city of Hicksville, long Island. I often order delivery from them and they are quick and always get the order right. What are you waiting for?! Get your food on!

Asya is a delicious Indian Restaurant in a neighborhood that needed it. I’ve been here a few times now and each time the food is absolutely delicious. The crispy okra salad is a wonderful dish that is very well dressed and doesn’t have even a hint of slime(always a danger with okra). The Cauliflower Manchurian is crispy and flavorful. I’m not going to bother listing each dish, but so far we’ve gone through a third of the menu with no disappointments. Just as good as the food are the condiments. The dipping sauces that come with the papadum are some of the best I’ve had. The Raita is more complex and full of flavor than other places I’ve tried. The delivery range is very generous and so far has been quick. The portions for delivery seem to be larger than the in house portions so what you lose out on in ambiance you make up for with tasty food. There is some room for improvement. They don’t seem to have a liquor license so do drinks(though I suspect that may mean you can bring in your own drinks). The space is also a bit cramped at times, but short of buying their neighbors I don’t think they could do too much about that. I will keep on coming back here and ordering as well.

I had Asya cater an event that my family had this Easter weekend and I was so happy with everything. The manager Ravi(sp) is fantastic! He was so helpful to me in putting a menu together and giving me an awesome price. On top of the excellent service I received, the food was AMAZING! Everyone at the event enjoyed. The Cauliflower Manchurian is a definite MUSTTRY. Trust me. I highly recommend Asya Indian Restaurant to keep as your favorite Brooklyn Indian restaurant for dine-in and catering. You will not be disappointed.

This place was actually good albeit more expensive than the other Indian restaurants in the area. Service was great and the place looks beautiful inside. My only beef w/this place are the prices and small portions. Why are they so high?! Anarkali on Church Ave has better prices and bigger servings. But since this gem is closer to my apartment, this will be my dine-in option for most days.

Try them out? Was it the greatest Indian food I’ve ever eaten? No. I haven’t had that yet. Was it worth my time and money? You better believe it! The waiter was really friendly. One of these stars is for him.

This little place is new to my neighborhood and after my dinner there last night I will be a regular. The service: perfect and I rarely write that. Our waiter, Jay, was polite and personable. The food: delish. Garlic nann, paneer tikka, chicken tikka masala. Everything was prepared perfectly and I didn’t want to stop eating.

The appetizers were delicious, but I can’t speak to the entrees; an hour and twenty minutes after ordering, we still had not received our food. Points to the restaurant for comping the appetizer and drink bill when we said we had to leave, but, truly — a big miss. We really wanted to like this place. ETA: Upping my rating to a four. We came back when the restaurant was more settled in and had a tasty, inexpensive lunch(50% off!) with brusque but quick service. Looks like they just needed to get their feet under them. We’ll be back!

The food here is amazing. I came here on Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend and although it was crowded, the service was great. I don’t remember what I ordered but it was definitely one of the best vegetarian meals I have had in a very long time. They even gave me a box of chocolate for the holiday. Cute :)

I love Indian food so I was very happy to see that this place opened up in my area. Friend of mine and I, we went there last Sunday for late brunch. The place was empty which would not be a problem but it was also very cold so I had to keep my coat on. The menu list they have presented had a food stains all over so I guess that should have been the first sign! We have ordered cauliflower for appetizer and combination plate(which as per the menu was good for 2 people), rice and garlic naan to share. The server brought the whole course to us at once and walked away but somehow he forgot to give us utensils«oops» so we took them from the table next to us. Food was good(but definitely I have had better before). The portions were small not really for 2 people to share as suggested. Another big disappointment was that the combination plate was missing the fish which I was actually looking forward too. All said maybe it was not my day at this time so I hope they will improve their service and if I ever go back there I will be surprise.

Delicious! I met my brother and his girlfriend here for dinner last night and we had a great time. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was great. Most importantly the food was delicious. I’m not a big Indian food eater so I let me brother order but everything he ordered was great. We shared some samosas and some mixed grill, some chicken curry and the spinach with cheese. The food came out quickly but it was all fresh and hot. Seems like they are doing a lot of delivery but I recommend everyone in the neighborhood stop by for a visit!

Asya atmosphere is pretty romantic. The staff are really nice and would make certain dishes that’s not on the menu(I have asked for chilli chicken which is not on the menu and they totally made it) The food is pretty good. The paneer burji was cook to perfection and was very flavorful. The chicken tiki and the chili chicken was also full of flavor and the white rice that it came with the dishes was Sooo yummy. The naan are pretty large… You can share one naan with about 3 people. It was soft and also really good. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone who like Indian food.
