You'll find Asanka Haven in Charlton Kings, the village suburb just outside Cheltenham, where it offers West African cooking that genuinely differs from what else surrounds it in the Cotswolds.
The restaurant focuses on Ghanaian cuisine, building its menu around authentic regional dishes prepared with real care. Jollof rice, rich stews, and properly fried plantain feature alongside other traditional fare, so whether you've eaten Ghanaian food before or you're exploring it for the first time, you get a real sense of the flavours and cooking traditions that define the cuisine.
The atmosphere inside is relaxed and genuinely friendly, designed for meals with friends or family rather than formal dining. The staff make you feel welcome and at home, which matters more than any polished service could. Charlton Kings itself works well as a comfortable village base if you're exploring the wider Cotswolds, with Cheltenham's regency architecture and attractions just a short drive away. If you're staying in either location and want something truly different for dinner, this is where you'll find it. The cooking is straightforward and honest, the portions are hearty, and the welcome means you actually feel looked after. It's the kind of place where a meal stays with you because everything about it is genuine, not because anyone's trying too hard to impress.
