Best Veg Food in the IE! - Edit
I have been going here since they opened, and I have not once been disappointed! The owners are so sweet, and the servers are always great. I have tried southern indian food in other places around the US, and nothing has beat them. Always so delicious and it’s great knowing how much love is put into the food you eat. Forever my favorite place to eat when I come home.

Huge menu - Edit
I had fun picking something I never had. Instead picking the dishes I recognized I picked things I never had and was not disappointed I had the thepla bread with sweet pickle (vegetarian) and vada sambar (vegan) dumplings. The coconut chutney was to die for. It came with soup.

Best Indian Food in SoCal - Edit
I've eaten tons of Indian food all over Southern California, but none of them comes close to the taste, presentation, and the service here at Ashirwad. My partner and I were driving to Joshua Tree and found this restaurant on an Eater list, so we called ahead and placed an order for pick up. We ordered the dhokla, which is this delicious corn bread like gluten free bread topped with mustard seeds, coconut shreds, and cilantro, chef's choice uttapam, and thelpa with chole. I had never had uttapam this good and the thelpa was a tortilla-like bread with fenugreek leaves that was outta this world good with the chole (garbanzo bean curry). I will definitely be making the stop here everytime I am in the area. It's just that good!

Tasty Veg Indian Food - Edit
I had been here a few years back while visiting the Ontario area. And just made it back during another visit...What an improvement! The space looks much nicer and the food was delicious. They have a nice selection of Indian dishes and the staff was very friendly. We will absolutely go back to eat here the next we visit family in Ontario.

Delicious biryani - Edit
Saw this on Happycow and had to stop in for a try. Here's my Ashirwad review.
Read moreI've been looking for good Indian veg food for a long time now. Other places I've tried have not impressed. But Ashirwad's biryani was just outstanding. I am totally hooked. It's exquistely spiced, with so much taste and flavor. Then at the end the heat kicks in (quite spicy - I like!). I would definitely like to come back and try the other menu items.
Pros: good flavors, pleasant space, vegan denoted
Cons: tiny samosas

Delightful - Edit
The food here is exceptional. I love how casual and laid back the establishment is. The food is truly unique in this area. The people working here are very kind. I have tried dishes here that I have never seen on other menus before. Everything is delicious, portions are generous and the prices are very good. I recommend this to everyone.

Delicious & Unusual Indian food - Edit
I have eaten here twice. Each time it was delicious. I am a vegan and there are several vegan options. (It is a lacto-veg. restaurant.) My only problem was that when I asked the owner to replace GMO oils with GMO-free options, he refused, even when I said I was willing to pay more. This is an enormous problem in California and the US since GMO foods are not labeled. Almost all foods with corn, soy, canola, etc. contain GMO's. This is a problem since most restaurants use oils with GMO's. It is difficult to get a commitment from a restaurant to eliminate GMO's. I rarely eat out anymore, and when shopping read labels very carefully. I try to live a GMO-free life.
Read morePros: Good food, Unusual dish choices, many vegan options

STARS ALL THE WAY - Edit
Stars all the way, for this amazing place
Read moreHere is my honest experience
New owners are a family with the most caring attitude
Food is only vegetarian, tasty and homelike atmosphere
Prices very affordable no fancy high prices
My only complaint is they were packed with customers on my visit, so the service was a bit slow, but this is understandable
So save time by going with PHONE ORDERS to go
If you are into healthy living try this place, won't regret

Southern Indian restaurant - Edit
Tried this restaurant for the first time, the owner was very helpful in pointing my wife and I to the dishes that fit our needs. Vegan and no soy, The Aloo ghobi was great the Sev Puri was excellent, and the first time either of us had had this dish. The Masala Dosa was also excellent. All the food is prepared when ordered and adjustments for dietary needs can be made. Overall service and quality was great. Can't wait to go back
Read morePros: quality, freshness
