Need to give 6 stars! Read about the Sri Lanka food on Staten Island, so loaded the fam, hopped the ferry, and bam! Amazing food, incredible home feeling service, and fair pricing. Again, super great place and advise all to try.

The best South Asian meal I’ve had in NYC! And SUPER friendly, speedy service! I told them to make the mutton curry as spicy 🥵 as possible, and this meal will be living on my tastebuds for days to come. And the dhal is ALL! I was tempted to go buy an entire container to take home. Most people don’t equate Staten Island with flavor, but this little strip of Victory Boulevard is changing that, with New Asha leading the charge. And when you come, make sure you go to the top of the hill (Victory Blvd) and take in the greatest view in all of New York City (see photo). Washed it all down with a cool glass of mango lassi 🥭. Not as creamy as I’ve had other places, but refreshing all the same. This is a must stop ethnic meal for a day trip to Staten. Enjoy! 🥘

We ended up stopping by and found this little gem. We spoke to the owner who was very kind and accomodating. She quickly fried us some shorteats and it was pretry good. We tried the egg fish rolls and the brought home some goodies (cutlets, veg roti and malu paan). They also have rice and curry menu too and kotthu. Didnt get a chance to try the kotthu. However we tried the rice/fish. With this you can select other vergetable dishes you like that they had made for the day. Recemmend anyone who is in the area to try this authentic srilanka restaurant. Also it was Halal. Which was a main thing for us.

Sooo good! Came here with my family, and we ordered the mutton curry, chicken curry, chicken kottu roti, as well as some of their veggie and meat rolls. Delicious!! Though some was a little too spicy for my mother, she still found everything to be very tasty. Drinks were great too (a mango lassi, and two passion fruit juices). Service was so welcoming and lovely thanks to the owner, Viji. Makes me wish I had another stomach. We left very dated and with an order of dosa :)

Had the privilege to meet Mrs. Viji and try her incredible cooking last week. I've never tried Sri Lankan food, but I have to say, the Coconut Rice and Goat Curry would be present at my last meal after dining at New Asha. My buddy and I gave her the free pass to keep bringing food out until we told her to stop. She did not disappoint. Breads, Chutneys, Curries galore. It was a wonderful culinary experience. I stopped in while traveling because I read an article Bourdain posted a number of years back and had it on my list. Mrs. Viji told me a little of what he was like, which was a surreal experience, because she was working when he came. This place should be on everyone's road map. Take the 20 minute walk from the Ferry and enjoy the meal of a lifetime.
