New Asha Sri Lanka - Staten Island

Viji is a superstar owner who goes out of her way to ask your name, check in with you, and take the time to curate a banging meal. I've always come with a group and she always has daily specials to offer us (last time, it was crab in a next-level curry which we took home with us). She makes regulars and newcomers alike feel welcome in the space; truly can't recommend this place highly enough.

The owner is so kind and friendly! She’s been running the business for over 20 years. Her food is SO GOOD!! Thank you!

I don't often leave reviews in fact I think I have done one other in my life but New Asha strongly deserves a visit from everyone. Not only is the food beyond delicious, the experience of being there was amazing. I called on my way over from Manhattan to make sure they would be open when I got there, was asked for my name, and promised a good take out platter. When I got there, I was called by name, told to sit down and stayed well past the restaurant closing while talking to the cook and getting delicious food all around. I can't wait to go back.

First time trying Sri Lankan food and the staff was helpful in providing a good experience. I had the curry fish over rice with the veggies, along w roti. I enjoyed the daal and spinach, though the fish was a little rough. I would try the curry goat/chicken next time.

Amazing food! Amazing energy! The owner is so kind and welcoming, she really makes you feel at home! The food was nice and spicy and flavorful. We had mutton with chopped up roti, vegetable roti, paired with some falooda and mango lassi, and followed by the coconut dessert. A very personal and intimate experience, would highly recommend! Take it from a Bronx, Brooklyn couple, this place is THE place!! If we didn’t live so far, we’d be here everyday. 10/10 would recommend.
