I LOVE THEIR FOOD SO MUCH. It's my #1 destination when I'm on the north shore. I get the veggie platter every time. I also love the vegetable roti and the fish/egg roti. Humble digs with wonderful welcoming staff. Love you guys!

If one looks for authentic home cooked Sri Lankan food, this is the place. The woman behind the counter (I assume she is the owner ) helps you out to make sure what you are looking for is met.
The food definitely reminded me of what I ate at home and absolutely carry the deliciousness of home cooked food.
The place is unassuming and very clean.
The day’s buffet is laid out in the counter. The owner will help you out with her friendly service to explain what is on offer each day and also will ask what your level of tolerance for spicy food.
With regard to drinks try out their passion fruit juice or if you have a sweet tooth the Sri Lankan Faluda!
This is the place for ultimate home cooked food in New York and the place makes all it worth to ride on the boat from Manhattan to Staten Island.

So delicious! Owner is so nice! Recommended

I’ve never posted about a restaurant before but this experience was just so wonderful, both for the food but also for the welcoming environment. Viji was so attentive and charming, and really went out of her way to ensure her customers were enjoying their meal. And the food was indeed super tasty.

I had a delicious, flavorful meal and a lovely conversation with Viji, who made me a plate based on what I told her I liked. It was my first time in Staten Island and I ended my visit with this meal at New Asha. I will definitely be back and will bring friends along, if only to get a meal here.

It's just homemade Sri Lankan food, that is sooooo DELICIOUS! DELICIOUS! And the service comes with a genuine smile ?! Hidden Gem ? in Staten Island. I guess not anymore. Don't go on Tuesdays they are closed. I eat there at least once a week! New Asha is Thee Best!!! Get that passion fruit drink! Thank me later!
