The presence of almost a dozen Indian restaurants in a mile's stretch is enough proof of the cuisine's popularity in Worcester. Ashleys is a small yet impeccably spotless and modish place in The Tything, a street considered to be a paradise for those in search of refreshment in the city. Its décor painted with hues of black and white lends a modern feel whilst successfully retaining the character of the 16th century listed building.

The menu is designed with a host of traditional and contemporary dishes and you could begin with sharing a platter of four different starters or seek the salmon la jawab, salmon marinated in yoghurt and spices. The 'green lamb' curry, possibly one of Ashleys most talked about Indian dishes, is definitely worth a try. Another delectable combination is the chicken balti coupled with egg fried rice.

If you are amongst those who like to wrap up a meal with a sweet, an array of attractive desserts is on hand.
