About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines

asha is a contemporary Australian restaurant with a Middle Eastern influence.
Find us in the leafy suburb of Goodwood, Adelaide, 2 doors down from Good Gilbert. This intimate dining space has been designed to elevate neighbourhood high-end casual dining, transporting you in time and place.
We have 3 distinct dining areas available, a hotel-esq bar with deep stools which will allow you to oversee Chef Scott Fox and his team cook for the restaurant whilst you can watch the hustle of the bar, with it's tall custom built cherry oak shelves, before you - we think this is our favourite spot. Alternatively, you may find yourself in our intimate bar booths wrapped in blue velvet and leather, these are very cosy and are best enjoyed with some of your best friends or family. Lastly, our main dining space will be for those who prefer a more formal setting with a little more space, banquette seating and dining chairs.

Asha could only have been a more lovely oasis of deliciousness on a hot day if there had been date palm fronds to accompany the exquisite menu
