Award-winning Indian restaurant Asha’s is returning to the city this summer

Much-loved Indian restaurant Asha’s is ready to reopen on Peter Street, just in time to commemorate India’s 75th Year of Independence.

The award-winning Indian restaurant is also opening alongside a new stylish bar concept – The Peterman.

The Peterman Bar will sit within Forty-Seven, a luxury hotel that will also open this autumn within the Grade II-listed former shipping warehouse on Peter Street.

The 32-room hotel will offer a range of duplex and signature suites alongside The Peterman Bar and Asha’s Restaurant.

The restaurant is ready to welcome guests from Wednesday 10th August, and has now started taking reservations. 

Within its initial week of opening, the restaurant is also set to invite guests to be among the first to experience the next generation of Asha’s, as they host an exclusive event on Monday 15th August to commemorate India’s 75th Year of Independence. 

Asha’s offers a dazzling repertoire of dishes which showcase culinary innovation, and the restaurant promises to take diners on a voyage through India’s North-West frontier province – featuring lovingly made dishes inspired by Asha Bhosle’s life.

From humble beginnings in the hamlet of Goar, Eastern India, Asha’s journey took her to Mumbai and the pinnacle of Bollywood.

Celebrating her country’s rich cultural heritage, she created Asha’s – a global group of ground-breaking Indian restaurants, where some of the world’s finest chefs blend authentic flavours with a contemporary perspective to redefine Indian cuisine. 

With a colourful event, Asha’s will invite guests to join them in commemorating India’s 75th Year of Independence. Here, they will be treated to a lavish evening of entertainment and authentic Indian flavours.

India’s Independence Day is celebrated annually across the world on the 15th August, and observes the anniversary of the nation’s independence from the United Kingdom.  

Commencing at 6pm, welcome drinks will be provided in The Peterman bar, a stylish haven of opulence and luxury.

Here, guests are also invited to take-in the traditional Indian music from Asha’s Dhol players and presented with beautiful Gajra flower garlands.

At 7pm, guests will be led through to Asha’s, where they will enjoy a three-course feasting experience, with delicious and flavourful dishes curated by Asha’s new head chef, Rajesh Bhatt.

Bhatt will add to the excitement of the new era of Asha’s by adding a new array of dishes to the fore.

Inspired by Indian recipes passed down through the generations, the philosophy of Asha’s remains, and new diners are invited to take part in a contemporary feasting experience.

This is an exclusive ticketed event, where places can be booked for up to tables of seven people via Eventbrite by clicking here.
