Asha's is an Indian fine-dining restaurant chain founded by Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle. The restaurant was first established in Dubai and has operated outlets in the Middle East and the United Kingdom.[1]
Asha's was founded in Dubai in 2002, with its first outlet opening at Wafi Mall. It was founded by Asha Bhosle, an Indian playback singer who predominantly worked in Indian cinema.[1] According to interviews with Bhosle, the restaurant concept originated from her personal interest in cooking and her desire to present Indian cuisine in an international fine-dining format.[2][3]
The brand later expanded beyond Dubai, opening locations in other international markets. In 2017, Asha Bhosle inaugurated an outlet at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi, continuing the brand's expansion in the Gulf region.[4]
The restaurant has received international media attention due to visits by high-profile celebrities. Actor Tom Cruise was reported to have dined at the Birmingham restaurant during a film-related visit to the city.[5] Singer Pink was also reported to have visited the Birmingham outlet prior to a concert.[6]
