For those craving freshness and balance, the Chef’s Salad is a vibrant mix of crisp greens and garden-fresh vegetables, while the Grilled Sea Bass, delicately seasoned with sumac and served alongside zesty lemon, exemplifies the restaurant’s commitment to quality and finesse.

    This new Kurdish restaurant is one to look out for. Their flavourful food and generous portions for such a good price should sell you alone. The Lamb Quzi is recommended to have if you’re a lover of Juicy Tender Lamb paired with rice packed with flavour. Along with that the service is amazing and always comes with a smile. Asah Restaurant is a must try!!!

    You can’t beat the chicken shawarma wrap, it’s packed with flavour, and the naan it’s wrapped in is so fresh and light. I honestly can’t believe it’s only £3.99! I have it quite regularly for lunch, and it never disappoints. It’s also great that you can sit in and enjoy it too.

    Just had a meal at this restaurant! The grilled sea bass was absolutely spot on perfectly cooked, fresh, and packed with Sumac and fresh sour lemon. The cheesy garlic chips was good, and then we got chef’s special salad—came complimentary alongside soups and fresh warm bread. Highly recommend this place to anyone who’s after quality food and a cosy vibe. No doubt about it, I’ll definitely be back!

    I was in Atria Watford around lunchtime and thought about food, positive thinking indeed! Searched around and found ASAH restaurant. Kurdish food, never had a go at this type of MEAT! What a shame Mixed Grill, the choice and it was the right thing the meat was excellent, not dry and done to the right "my" level. Big portion and fresh salad and nicely cooked rice! The topper - hot soup served before and free! Chickpea and some hint of meat in there but loved it. The best part - 3 minutes walk from Atria Watford, very good price, the service and the food was excellent
