I have given 5 stars just because it took me to 1980s when I was a Student in MMC and an intern in Maternity hospital and Egmore Children Hospital we used to go there often for lunch and dinners. The entire hotel has not changed even the water in the pond(!!) Infact I preponed my visit by a day just to stay there a night with my wife daughters and son in law. Finally i regretted. Room boys are nagging for the tips in spite of very poor services. If it had been with some other management for the location and the area available it might have been the best one in India But .....

We were served with spoilt food.when we complained there were no proper response from the management. Moreover they were very rude in the way they responded back. Highly unacceptable behaviour and inappropriate words from them. That too the persons sitting in the bill desk.... Very very rude and worst behaviour.we have been visiting this hotel for the past 15 to 20 years.. but after this incident we have decided not to step into this hotel even by mistake.

Visiting this place for >40 years. South India menu items are very tasty. No match to its Butter Dosa with a bit of banana leaf. Hard to find Mysore Masala Dosa is my favorite. Menu offers a range of Thalis. Fully satisfying meals. Beeda / Pan was average. Car parking easy. Service very good. Ambience cries for attention.

How many years pass you can always get a good meal at Ashoka and you will not leave disappointed. Yes. it is not the greatest of ambience or cleanliness, but when it comes to the taste of food and service speed, it is just amazing. Will definitely keep visiting Ashoka.

This is a decades old hotel. The outside and inside of the hotel is so unimaginably spacious. Even though a few modern touch-up's have been done, they cannot hide the oldness of the hotel. This oldness is more accentuated by the old-style and slow behaviour of the bearers and stewards. For a while we get transported by the 70's and 80's era. The food was generally good and tasty. The idly was extremely soft. The pricing of the restaurant can be imagined with the cost of 2 medium sized idly being Rs.65. The chaat items were above average. The andhra pessaratu had smoke coming out of our ears !! The triple icecream - glorious sundae, was delicious. Overall, a nice place to relax and eat comfortably, some good south indian food.
