This dining experience was frustrating and annoying from the start. My father had just arrived in Darwin and wanted to eat at a good restaurant so my partner and I took him to Cullen Bay because the area is filled with renown Darwin restaurants. To its credit, Aschara was one of only two restaurants open at 5pm on a Saturday! Here is how it went down...
1. We order drinks - my Gin and Tonic arrives (10 minutes after everyone elses drinks) with flat tonic so I reorder - and wait 25 minutes (please note we are the only patrons at the restaurant at this time).
2. We order our meals (an agonising feat as the waitress barely speaks English)- I order a serve of vegetarian spring rolls and an entree sized chicken laksa with no noodles. MY spring rolls are served for all to share as an entree and are infact MEAT springrolls.
3. My laska then arrives WITH noodles - no one elses food is served.
4. I am long finished with my meal before anyone else at the table is served.
5. We order more drinks and wait while they are served over a half hour period.

Overall the food was average but with so many mistakes in service - I was not a happy chappy at the end of the night!

Approximate cost: $25
