About The Red Ass
The Red Ass is an Indian restaurant in Semaphore, Adelaide. Tastibase scores each of its dishes individually from real customer reviews, instead of rolling everything into one star average — so you can see exactly what this kitchen does well, dish by dish.
Right now one dish has enough reviews to score confidently: Butter Chicken, at 6.8/10 — a solid result built from 4 review mentions.
What it does best
Because the score is built only from reviews that actually name the dish, that 6.8 is specifically about the butter chicken — not the room, the service or the average of everything on the menu.
Regulars most often single out its butter chicken — a good place to start if it’s your first visit.
How these scores work
Every score here comes only from public reviews from the last three years, weighted so a single glowing write-up can’t inflate a dish — a kitchen needs steady, repeated praise to rank well. Tastibase’s dish scores sit alongside The Red Ass’s overall 4.0-star rating, but go a level deeper: they tell you which specific dishes are worth ordering, not just how the venue rates overall.
How scores work: Tastibase scores individual dishes, not whole restaurants. AI sentiment (85%) + star ratings (15%), Bayesian-shrunk, last 3 years only. Full methodology →
