Asoka Indian Cuisine ~ Selma

I'm a committed bottomfeeder and I really do brake for taco trucks. But last nite for a change of pace we went to Asoka Indian Cuisine in Selma CA. I haven't seen it written about on this board so I figure I'll give it a try. It's a nice place and the owner was very pleasant. It was actually deserted except for two of us but I think they are busier at lunch when they have a buffet. Anyway, we started off with a vegetable pakora for an appetizer. It came with two sauces. One was a sweet red sauce and the other a spicy green sauce, pretty good stuff. I had the butter chicken and Mooncake ordered the shrimp tandoori. I don't know what they are supposed to be like but I sure did like them. The really good stuff was the naan, bread baked in the tandoori oven and served hot. I could have just eaten the bread.

Oh, and right next door there is a great indian sweets and spice store. It's a wonderful olfactory experience just walking thru there.

If you're out Selma way give them a try.

    I almost went in there the other day but ended up at Great China (?) next door. The food there was okay. I couldn't tell if Asoka was open (but now that I reread your post, I was there on Monday so it would have been closed.) I will definitely stop there next time.

      Great find xntricg, have been going to Selma for decades (mainly to Sal's) and was never aware of any Indian food in the area. Nice to know there are other options.
