asha is a contemporary Australian restaurant with a Middle Eastern influence.
Find us in the leafy suburb of Goodwood, Adelaide, 2 doors down from Gourmet Traveller's Wine Bar of the Year, 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.

Excellent food- was Ottelinghi style menu and presentation, loved it. Very noisy, all hard surfaces, noise level was very high so conversation was a bit challenging as the restaurant filled up. Staff and service was excellent.

I can’t wait to return to Asha and try the rest of the menu. The food was delicious, such high quality dishes and thoughtful flavours. Could not fault it! Service was also brilliant, with attention to detail. The duck pastilla is a must try.
