What People Are Saying About Apsara

Featured Review

The Scene – If you're up for a culinary adventure, head to the south side of Providence, an area that probably won't appear in any tour book. The neighborhood isn't more dangerous than any other part of the city, as long as you use the same common sense that you would use in any unfamiliar place. – – The Food – South Providence is home to many hardworking restaurateurs who cook up the most authentic ethnic eats in town--and for the best prices. You can get a taste of that at Apsara, a multiethnic restaurant whose house specialty is tasty shrimp with coconut sauce.…

Always great food

I can't say enough about the great food at Apsara. Always good. Always fast. The food is made with fresh ingredients and is consistent, which can be tough to find.

Busy but worth the wait!

We've been going to Apsara since we moved to Providence. On weekend nights especially it can be a wait, but it's definitely worth it.

The food is always delicious, and though there is no liquor license, you can bring your own.

I love the stir fried Cantonese noodle and the Bee Bong in particular.

Beware of the other restaurant called Apsara that's on the East Side, though. It's not actually associated with this one and not NEARLY as good!

  • Pros: Great food
  • Cons: Limited parking

APSARA=AWESOME

by louie18 at Citysearch

First i would just like to say its on Pulic st not on Hope St (they are different) and personally i think public st is better not very goodlooking or in the coolest neighborhood but AWESOME food at an AWESOME price they really do prob have THE BEST nim chow ever its just really good and i would also deff recommend the bebong woo. hoo. so tasty. It is also a little difficult to get to because depending on where your comming from there might not be a street sign but its sorta in a fork in the road so you can see it. its not in a trendy spot and as said before they're not that concerned with looking hip inside but, hey. maybe they just used that extra time on making the food outstanding and at a really afordable price and totally BYOB they really make it tuff to resist going there. check it out!

  • Pros: EVERYTHING ELSE
  • Cons: location is not the greatest
