Ganesha Authentic Indian Cuisine in Bristol, City of

I stopped by for a casual dinner and was pleased with the food. The spices in the curry were well blended, and the service was both efficient and friendly.

I enjoyed a lovely dinner here. The food tasted fresh and the portions were just right. The environment was cozy and the service attentive. Would recommend!

We had a meal deal for 2 inc 2 X 2 course meals plus a drink. Staff appeared friendly but when we said we preferred puppadoms and chutneys to other starters the waiter insisted we had both. We had the poppadoms and chutneys and paid £6.50 for the priveledge. It was the smallest portion of pickles ever. We both had chicken based starters which were completely tasteless. We also had chicken mains and they also despite being heavily spiced tasteless. I believe all of the chicken pieces are compressed chicken fragments and not breasts. We paid £3.50 also for a bowl of rice. Our meal deal was £29. When my wife paid the out of courtesy as much as anything she gave £5 extra not realising that a 10% service charge is included in menu prices. The total bill came to £72 for a meal deal starting at £29. At this point the waiter insisted that only 1 main course was included in the deal. This was blatantly wrong. I have contacted Ganesha since and complained and my wife has been credited back£14.95

Had my first visit here and was really impressed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. You can tell they put effort into the dishes.

Absolutely loved my experience at Ganesha! The food was incredible, bursting with authentic flavors and spices that truly transported me to India. Each dish was perfectly prepared, with fresh ingredients and unique combinations. The ambiance was also fantastic — cozy and vibrant, with a warm, welcoming vibe that made me feel right at home. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend Ganesha for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine in a wonderful atmosphere!

not that cheap but still worth it, the food was some of the best Indian food I've had and the overall experience was great. 5/5 stars.

The food was perfectly warm and the delivery driver was very kind and polite. The food is great for what you pay for and it was cooked very fresh even at a late time of ordering.

Unfortunately I wasn’t very pleased with my food. I was given a lime pickle rather than mango chutney, and no mint sauce came with the onion Bhaji’s which is usually standard from curry houses. The bhaji’s were not crispy and very oily. The Dansak I ordered was average. Not very spicy at all. Quite disappointed overall.

We ordered takeaway and got a generous discount for collecting it. The restaurant itself was really nicely decorated and smelt amazing as soon as I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious, good portion sizes and not too oily. The staff were really welcoming when I picked the order up, and by the time we got back home and served out the food it was still piping hot! Would strongly recommend!

Delicious food as always. The lamb kadhai is particularly good, but it's all great. Prompt service for takeaway, lovely people, thank you!

Food was nice. Service was great. Shame it wasn’t busy but we did go on a Monday! Definitely would recommend to anyone in Bedminster.

Lovely food and friendly service! Would definitely recommend to a friend! Service was super quick and drinks were great

Excellent service. Good food. The prawn curry and tandoori rotis were amazing. Salman was courteous and professional

no order delivered, as usual with restaurant deliveries that aren't tracked, driver is the owner of the restaurant and stopped for 15 seconds 100m from the address. proceeded to argue with me about the address being incorrect and waiting for "45 minutes". £70 down the drain.

Sorry but I found the onion bhaji very oily, the biryani was lumpy & the curry sauce watery. I didn't eat much of it.

Best onion bhajis we had, not burned, crispy and fresh!! Great service.

Walked in to a lovely warm restaurant, greeted straight and sat down. Big menu with loads of options so practically spoiled for choice Everyone here is really nice and just a good time.

The food was incredible, the curry I had was something new and delicious. The staff really is helpful and able to give the amazing suggestions on what to try next. Perfect for hungry travellers as is 15min away from the train station and open until 23h.

Absolutely delicious food, great selection and lovely staff! Look forward to coming back soon, thank you!

Very good restaurant ! Dan is very nice :) you can go for sure. We are French and it’s our first trip in bristol :) :) :) :) :) :)

The food was absolutely delicious. Loved it!!

Friendly service and very tasty food. Had one of the best mango lassi’s of my life

Absolutely delicious, I had the paneer tikka masala, just beautiful! Amazing selection for vegetarians, would highly recommend

Love these guys and their food. Best vegetarian curry dishes around in the area, not just frozen veg in sauce like some places. Good value, good delivery, great menu.

Good service, good food. Table of 6 walk in, seated straight away

I do not usually write reviews however I have received such poor service that im compelled to share my thoughts. I ordered chicken biryani and i received gosht biryani & this has happened to me twice now which is absolutely ridiculous. Can’t even rate the food as always end up receiving the wrong order with no compensation whatsoever. Highly disappointing.

I had a fantastic experience at Ganesha Authentic Restaurant. The Indian food here is truly flavorful and authentic, offering a wide variety of dishes that cater to all tastes. The spices are perfectly balanced, and each dish is made with care and attention to detail. The service is friendly, and the ambiance makes you feel like you're enjoying a meal in the heart of India. Highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine!

Great restaurant and takeaway. We have lived in Bristol for 12 years and they are our go to takeaway for Indian food. X

Tasty food 😋 and good Service must visit this place 😊🤟

Excellent food!! We loved the restaurant staff.Must try restaurant in Bristol

Best Indian in Bristol. Top gaff n proper nice

Top quality food. Very flavoursome. Nice atmosphere, great service and music👌

Came here with my sons and it was a wonderful experience, food was great and my children were very happy. Much recommended

Food was nice but not great. They did have a excellent list of options but everything did feel quite expensive, especially with a 10% service charge. Wish you'd either make it discretionary or just increase every item on the menu by 10% in price; this would be the exact same but you'd be able to more accurately see the cost of your meal then. Service was fine but nothing special. I do love supporting independants but with a 20% discount if you order online then it'd be better value to do this next time.

Really great food with lovey staff. They stayed open later for us to finish our meal. Could not recommend enough

korma was delicious, mango lassi was AMAZING. service was a 10/10 We will be back! :)

Good chat with staff and nice food 🙂

Been here before but not for a while, but as excellent as I remembered it. Food was so tasty and spiced just as I would have wanted/expected. Service excellent and reasonable prices.

Had a fantastic meal tonight. Really nice food and staff were excellent, making welcome recommendations which did not disappoint. Will hopefully be back again soon 👍

Ganesha manager Dan was amazing - he took an order 3 days before, by email and delivered our dinner to our workplace in Bristol himself. Absolutely delicious food, great value, great service!

We must have eaten somewhere different to the 5* reviewers. For example, dried chillies (rather then fresh), slimy sliced mushrooms (maybe tinned?), rubbery chicken are not our definition of good cooking. The chicken tikka, served as a full portion not a starter, was the worst ever in both taste and appearance - it was served as a plate of spongey meat with a few shreds of lettuce and 3 small slices of cucumber. Tried other restaurants but couldn't get a table so we were surprised to be the only diners here. Not surprised now. Also, what is the justification for a 10% service charge - as it's not a self service restaurant there is no other option so it just adds 10% to the advertised prices.

Great food and friendly staff :)

We visited Ganesha last night the food was so delicious and test fresh . The restaurant is done very traditional way juts the way you would find in India very ladies back with vibrant colours. Service is super fast and very friendly as well . Lots of different option on the menu to choose from will definitely back for more

Came here on a whim from other reviews and it did not disappoint! I went with the kozhi varutha curry...wot a dish. It has a slow build of heat and wonderful flavor. The staff were friendly and accomodating. Do not pass this place up...make it a stop!

This is the most amzing home cooked authentic food we have eaten in bedminster bristol with very frindly services.only one family run restaurant if u like simple great food witu so many options for vegetarian thanks Ganesha

Amazing place, food super tasty and really good atmosphere. Plus, Dan is the nicest person in Bedminster. Will definitely come back ❤️

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. They were great hosts. Prices were excellent 10/10 would recommend !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy to have gone here tonight. Wonderful smiley and fun waiter. Freshly cooked popadums. The vegetarian options (particularly aubergine and tarka daal dishes), were spicy, flavourful and unusually tasty. Vibrant coloured walls, authentic uplifting music. Will be returning next time we’re in Bristol.

Lovely place to eat. Food was fab, staff very friendly and quick service

Restaurant didn’t have too many customers when we went but the food was pretty good. Surprised there were not more people in there when we went.

I was celebrating a friend's birthday. Nice food and excellent service. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend.

First time here in Bristol and found this place. Food first class and service was great. Easy to recommend

Food was very nice and good service

Must visit and must sure to eat proper Indian authentic food

Our new favourite Indian takeout

Lovely food, in a great chilled atmosphere, would definitely recommend

Food was great especially lamb Jalfrezey! Great service Lovely

Very friendly staff, lovely dining area and the food was so damn good

Super friendly and the food is amazing. Definitely recommend.

Just got a delivery directly from Ganesha. Quicker delivery than expected, with friendly service. Really good flavour, especially the lamb Sagwala- very succulent. Food came very hot. Naans were tasty and big. Looking forward to dine in in the future.

Lovely, family owned business that deserves more attention! Simply delicious, authentic, Indian cuisine. I have been a customer for nearly ten years now because I just think it’s there food is the best. There pashweri nan bread is out of this world good, along with any of there unique curry’s. 👌

One of the few Indian take aways in Bristol that I can trust anything in the menu... no added sugar in dishes to make them sweet and "desirable". Always on time or earlier with delivery. It worth ordering from their site, rather than usual common online services.

Great food, great service - will be coming back again.

I have been coming past this place for 2 years and always wanted to try it. So very glad we did. Food was excellent and the service was amazing. Well worth a visit!

Amazing Mango Lasi! Very friendly service. Highly recommended.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Bristol the food was really delicious Highly recommended. Butter chicken was the best

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una deliciosa comida aquí, las porciones eran de un buen tamaño y la comida muy sabrosa y caliente. El personal era muy servicial y comprobado si necesitábamos algo bastante a menudo. Ambiente encantador, comida auténtica, bien recomendado!

Amazing place. The food is very good and the staff is very nice and they answer kindly to all the questions. The rice is good and the food is fabulous.

The takeaway we had was first class. The dishes were excellent and most importantly had their own individual set of flavours. Highly recommended.

Delicious food and excellent service.

Delicious food, friendly helpful service. Very authentic Indian cuisine, highly recommend!

Ganesha Authentic Indian Cuisine - A Culinary Delight! We recently dined at Ganesha in Bristol and was thoroughly impressed. The warm, friendly service and elegant decor set the stage for an exceptional meal. The Lamb Jalfrezi and garlic naan were highlights, bursting with authentic flavors. The staff were attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Ganesha is a must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Indian cuisine in Bristol. Highly recommended!

Delicious, authentic food served by warm and friendly staff. We were really well looked after as a 6 person walk-in. We'll definitely return!

Great food and so friendly. Best Indian food in ages!

First time here, excellent service and food. Thank you

Amazing Indian Restaurant. Just feels like sitting in a restaurant in Mumbai or Maharashtra. Good song Playlist. Tasty Starters & Curries are delicious too. Naan flaky & very good. Altogether a very good place to eat if you wanna feel like eating in India

Tried most Indian restaurants in South Bristol this is up there with the best

The food was nice. And on top the playlist was exceptional. The food was nice but honestly was on a spicy side. The presentation can be improved. At the same time the taste was good and to crave for.Looking forward to visit.

A lovely meal. Good food and a pleasant experience. Would come here again.

Siamo stati accolti dal gentilissimo oste che, dopo averci fatto accomodare, ci ha spiegato con grande pazienza le varie portate presenti nel menù. Era la prima volta che mangiavamo in un ristorante indiano e siamo rimasti molto positivamente colpiti dalla bontà del cibo e dalla cura nella preparazione e nell'impiattamento di ogni pietanza. Consiglio assolutamente questo ristorante anche per la simpatia del titolare, cordiale e sorridente.

Love, love, love eating here. Always good food and friendly service.

Peter Grainger ‘cracking curry’… would recommend

Absolutely fantastic food at this restaurant with the waiter being so helpful and polite. Also, I witnessed such a charitable act which I will not mention however has prompted me to write this review. I wonderful restaurant with staff with hearts of gold..

The staff are really friendly and food is amazing. Really recommended this place to get a taste of indian cuisine. They also have multiple options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians

So you are in Bristol and wondering what to do for a meal….go to Ganesha…best Indian meal I have had in ages, and I have had a lot.!! Service was great, was recommended a dish, went with it and my god….greatness has arrived. Stop pontificating and get down here now….you won’t regret it.

This restaurant was so lovely for date night with my partner, the food was delicious and the waiters were friendly and welcoming. The mango chutney was so good we needed to order another bowl and the chicken korma was my favourite dish of the night! Will definitely be back and I recommend it to anyone in the area!

The food came hot …very tasty and nice ..the delivery was earlier than expected…keep it up
