    We LOVE Ash'Kara! It's just so delicious for vegan entrees. The vegan dish is often the best dish. What they are able to do with an eggplant or sweet potato is nothing less than magic. Don't get me started on the falafel or their breads....beyond delicious. The wine list is on point with interesting offerings if you want a taste of wine from places that you don't normally choose. The prices are great too. I am always impressed by a special bottle of wine, but I like to just have a glass sometimes too. They offer both. The non-alcoholic cocktails are as inspired as the full spirit options. Overall, we LOVE this place and think you will too!

    We were 2 and sat at a table in a little alcove. Perfect. My son has to eat GF food and they have a fabulous paper menu showing exactly what it GF. He was so pleased! Service was excellent. We have great cocktails and I had a good red wine. We had the Empress Noodles (lots of veggies and we added chicken, a whole meal) Prawn skewers, super good and tasty dipping sauce. I had the pork bao buns..because Bao. All was good. Came quickly. Music is ED and is slightly loud if you are trying to talk. love the location, close to DCPA and Ball arena.

    We had the best experience! This restaurant is so much fun and a great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and unique tasty food. We had a large group for a birthday party and they were so accommodating. We got our drinks and apps quickly and all the food was amazing. The ambience has a tropical club vibe without it being loud tacky. Great place for a group to have a good time! Be aware, parking is VERY difficult to find!
