Perfect little date spot for those who want something a bit fancier than other fine dining restaurants. Outstanding food and service from the wait staff, and the vibe is very lively without being too overwhelming. Thank you for having us! We’ll be sure to dine here again :)

About the restaurant
asha is a contemporary Australian restaurant with a Middle Eastern influence.
Find us in the leafy suburb of Goodwood, Adelaide, 2 doors down from Gourmet Traveller's Wine Bar of the Year, Good Gilbert. This intimate dining space has been designed to elevate neighbourhood high-end casual dining, transporting you in time and place.
We have 3 distinct dining areas available, a hotel-esq bar with deep stools which will allow you to oversee Chef Scott Fox and his team cook for the restaurant whilst you can watch the hustle of the bar, with it's tall custom built cherry oak shelves, before you - we think this is our favourite spot. Alternatively, you may find yourself in our intimate bar booths wrapped in blue velvet and leather, these are very cosy and are best enjoyed with some of your best friends or family. Lastly, our main dining space will be for those who prefer a more formal setting with a little more space, banquette seating and dining chairs.

About the restaurant
Longplay Bistro is the summation of the things that we enjoy - a casual, sometimes rowdy environment in which to eat good bistro food, drink great wine and listen to records with friends and family. Longplay Bistro pairs touchstone, well seasoned bistro fare from Calum Horn with a feature wine list and considered hospitality that caters to both fast casual and extended stay diners. Join us for a good time and a long time!
