Ganesha Restaurant in Watford

Great find. We visited last night and had some of the best Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 food we have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Stand out dishes the Mutton Koti Roti and the amazing masala dosas. The paratha bread was also sublime. All washed down with a Lion beer 🍺. When the bill came just over £100 for four people for a feast like this is incredible value. We will be back soon !

Food is great and the service is impeccable

Brilliant restaurant, food and service was amazing, I recommend coming here. Mutton kotu roti is a must.

Great food would recommend to anyone, great service. Made me feel at home

The prawn biryani this time was very bad. I have ordered before and it used to be good and this time it was awful. Very bland, no flavour, looked like rice mixed with some curry. It jus had 3 prawns in total. usually it's 6 or 7...the problem with this place is consistency. sometimes it's good sometimes it's terrible. Not sure if they have different cooks at times.

Idlis are the best and the serving is a decent size.

Great service, and the food is delicious! A family favourite!

there was bad smell in paneer masala dosa . looks like slate food .. super disappointed

Annoyingly The Dahl was not sealed properly and had split all over the other food into the bag inside and onto the containers - so I didn’t have much Dahl. The cutlets were squashed to so better thought into packing in the future please.

I’m becoming addicted to here, my dish is addictive

Nice food but little bit take time

Food is very good but the man with white shirt is showing attitude . Srilankan man is very rude to other customers he is only good with their native people . Bad customer service

I had a take away from this Ganesha restaurant and the chilli chicken and veggie noodles were excellent. This is the best chilli chicken I have had ever since I have moved to the UK.........10 stars to the 👨‍🍳..........keep up the good work😊

Fresh food nice decor newly refurbished.

Food was delicious and service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it! Recommend the kothu

Great taste! Best item on the menu is the Chicken Fried Rice (Hot). Good food !

So delicious. One can tell how much time and effort went into perfecting the exquisite and spicy flavour. Definitely worth the slightly long wait, especially considering their low price. Happy eating everyone and I hpoe you enjoy Ganesha too.

took almost 2 hours to get if delivered. Driver was at the location for quite a while waiting to pick up the food..

Everything tastes authentic and fresh with real spice! So so good, will be back

Ganesha food is always good and their servicr very fast. Best South Indian food!!

Having frequented this restaurant for more than ten years, I believe it's high time I shared my thoughts. Without fail, each visit has been a delightful experience, with the delicious food and attentive staff consistently exceeding my expectations. This establishment has truly become a go-to dining destination for me, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit. For those seeking a dependable restaurant offering mouthwatering south Indian dishes and warm service, look no further. This place has earned its spot as a regular haunt for me, and I wholeheartedly encourage others to give it a chance.

Lovely food good portion size highly recommended

Most authentic south Indian / Sri Lankan dishes ... I love them...and the owner and staff are so warm and welcoming!!!!!

no ethics unprofessional staff and rude

App said driver is at the restaurant but when I called the restaurant driver is not there it got delayed a lot. Please give true status

Get the Mutton Chettynadu with some rice and you'll find that part of your soul you were missing.

Only put 1 star because I had to. Longest wait ever, chef kept saying 10 minutes 3 times!

Food quality are always the best at this restaurant Taste wise and service

I'm a Sri Lankan Burgher and I can definitely say the food is 100% genuine. This is not your everyday run of the mill Bangladeshi indian restaurant. This is a genuine Sri Lankan restaurant, which I'm glad to say is close to me so I can keep re ordering their lovely dishes.. Well done guys you got my vote...

Amazing food, lovely warm service, back for second time liked it so much the first time. Great prices too

Lovely food and ask for the spice level on each dish which I find very good!

Got a lunch deal, rice, mutton curry dhal and veg curry. The best curry I’ve ever had. Tasted fresh and home cooked. Not drenched in oil like most curry’s

Mixed review. Best dosa in Watford by far. No confusion or hassle like other dosa houses in Watford. Eaten in here before and it's cosy with friendly staff. The owner is a real gentleman. This is my second time ordering food from the Ganesha restaurant. I decided to go with the thali at £10.95 per head it's a bargain. The food was tasty but way too spicy for my wife. I like my curry on the spicy side. The portion sizes were good but too much rice for two people. They could easily substitute with another dish. The sweet vermicelli was lush, but needed more of it. The vaida was excellent too. Probably wouldn't order the thali again unless I was on my own. Like I said, I highly recommend their dosa, noodles, matar paneer, and iddly as have ordered them before and they were superb. Just be warned. If you chose spicy, you're going to get really spicy! Overall I like Ganesha restaurant and we used to eat in their many years ago. Lovely people that run the place.

Nice South indian / Srilankan restaurant. Loved the food. Quality is good, quantity can be better. Would recommend!!

Superb dinner we had , friendly owner and staff, we enjoyed,

One of the best South Indian / Sri Lankan restaurant

Super tasty food, at reasonable prices my daughter enjoyed & great customer service.

Best south indian style food in the area.

Its been over a year since I was last able to visit. I had been craving a good dosa for ages and certainly wasn't disappointed today. Freshly made and absolutely outstanding - great value too!

I visited Ganesha last weekend. It was a pleasant experience. I tried the fried chicken kotthu roti, mutton rolls and samosa. The service took quite long. The waiter didn't know about spices or what was in stock. When the food arrived, it was nice, but I wish it spicier than normal. Overall, the food was great value.

Ordered parotta and chicken gravy and mutton gravy , only to find out later it is only the gravy they deliver not even a single piece of chicken and mutton. Was very very disappointed with this service.. wondering why do they specifically say that pls order chicken gravy or mutton gravy then if you just have to send some tomato gravy????

veg items had fish pieces in it.

Ganesha has its own charm. Not an Uber spacious restaurant but once seated you are treated like royalty. The food is spot on. Do try the devilled fish, putty with sambar and the mutton kuttu Parotta. It is delish!!!

Good food nice place for small members get together Myself and friends meet up frequently to enjoy some time and food

Great place and lovely Dosa. Kids loved Chocolate dosas too. Your coconut chutney was awesome. If I had to moan about something then prices of your dosas.

Great food, with exciting taste

Food is always super yummy, clean and friendly service. Another brilliant local to us!!! Love the family vibe at the restaurant too! Cosy and yummy food!!

Best curries ever, genuinely good food. Go there regularly and it's always delicious and cooked fresh. Nothing like other restaurants/takeaways where everything is covered in oil

We move into heartfordshire a few month ago and tried this restaurant randomly. It was so good and consistent that we go there most Fridays after work, love the dosa, chicken 65, chicken gravy with parota. The amazing food is matched by amazing and warm staff. Love it so much. Thank you

The food here is great, have eaten in and had takeaways. Always been top notch.

Food is good in taste but delivery was too slow. Delivery estimate was 55 mins when order placed, changed to 90 mins when order was accepted and actually delivery was 115 mins after ordering. The food was lukewarm as well and not hot

Food was average and so was the service. I have ordered from there before and that used to be really good. Hence why I went to eat in. Maybe chef has changed or the management has who knows. They have been a 5 star restaurant before so give it a chance I guess.

Absolutely love this place, a hidden gem in watford. Very authentic food and the best Dosa!

The food arrived almost two hours after ordering.

young waiter was rude, made offensive jokes

Ganesha has to be the best value for money restaurant in Watford. The food is lovely, especially devilled chicken & masala dosa. A must try, but make sure you eat in!

Had been there with my friends two times. First time we ordered some vegetable biryani And second time i ordered chickhen lollipops. Had terrible food poisoning both times.Have gone through vomitings and motions and had to visit gp. I thought when it happened for the first time may b its not bcoz of ganesha food. But after second time am damn sure its because of their food. The restaurant management please be careful about your food quality and hyginene as ur playing with people lifes.

Best South indian restaurants one of the best you can find

Best Sri lankan takeaway within a 5 mile radius. Wouldn't recommend as a place to eat in though.

Another of Watfords hidden gems. Such amazing food & lovely staff. Really check this place out, especially if you haven't tried Sri Lankan food, this is a special place & delicious food 😋

Nice Indian and Srilankan restaurant

Just had the opportunity to taste "The Best Urundu Wade" since leaving Sri Lanka. We used to frequent Saraswathi Lodge Colombo where we enjoyed authentic North Sri Lankan dishes. It was like a trip back memory lane. The wade offered was just without a doubt the best we have had . If you love authentic Sri Lanka Wade, Urundu Wade and Mutton Rolls Ganesha is the only choice in the area.

Ordered food at 5.45 pm and it's 8:10 pm, still no sign of delivery despite calling two times. Food is apparently ready but driver is on his way, no apologies and no other response. You expect customers to keep waiting for 3 hours past dinner time ? how do you define your service Ganesha? There is always one hour or more delay but todays was the ultimate. I'm expecting the food to arrive COLD and that is IF it arrives and also expected to pay? EXTREMEY DISAPPOINTING

Great restaurant for Indian food

Good south Indian Foods available. A cosy little restaurant. The taste is wonderfully same for years. Loved the taste.

Absolutely superb, authentic, Sri Lankan food. Best restaurant around.

Awesome hotel with very tasty food and great customer service. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. All the food is very tasty and great value for money. There were no service charge. Thank you for serving such delicious food 🥘

We went for a family (9 people) meal on a Sunday, and we were treated to some absolutely delicious Sri lankan / South Indian food. We had a huge variety on our table, and every dish was highly praised by the person eating it, I had the most delicious Paneer Masala Dosa while looking on in jealousy at my daughters vegetable Thali. The service was amazing, the waiter did so well to listen to my in laws bend his ear about sri lankan food 'back home' and they were so impressed with the food they ordered takeaway as well. Really great value, friendly, delicious, we will definitely be returning soon, I have my eyes on a vegetable thali tray!

Really good mutton rolls and vadai - we were happy. Eat while it’s hot 😍

Decent South Indian fare. I found the Indo Chinese egg fried rice to be authentic tasting. We prefer mutton biryani from here.

Bought Friday Special South India Thali, according to the manager / owner they don’t serve Sambar or Rasam with their Thali 🥹 Quality of Thali was pretty poor 🙄

Most of the food we had was good but the Vegetarian Thali was the worst one I ever had.

Fantastic food always from genuinely nice people

Very very worst, I gave 5 * before, but now it’s 1 * because of the quality of their food. Gave me old parota which they reheated. It was too dry and hard

Visited this place on a Friday. This is the day they have Thalis. This is a tray of food with different portions of curry and rice. Absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and the people eating in there were friendly as well. Have had takeaways from here in the past that were really nice.

Amazing food and very good service

Great food. Something different to our normal curry . Slow delivery time

Food was delicious as always but very very late. I had been looking forward to it on my way home from filming in London. But it was not here and had to wait! Ordered before going to London in morning and was promised it by 4. The staff at Ganesha are liars but their food is delicious!

Must try fried rice Deviled chicken and sambar rice Tried their lunch deals as well. Overall a very good experience.

Good authentic South Indian restaurant for an informal lunch.

What a gem of a place! Stunning South Indian food with a really friendly service. 10/10 food and 10/10 service. Hot tip!: Get the chicken lollipops!

What a gem of a place! Stunning South Indian food with a really friendly service. 10/10 food... 10/10 service... 10/10 value for money Hot tip!: Get the chicken lollipops!

Amazing food!!! The Devilled Mutton is incredible, well worth a visit!

Par excellence. The food is superb and really tasty. We had starters and mains and every item was really good.

Have eaten at Ganesha several times over the last few years and have never been let down by the service or the quality of food. Have brought friends and family here too and they have all been impressed with the food. Have tried multiple Sri Lankan restaurants in the UK and Ganesha is by far the best. Brilliant work by the team here, I hope they realise how good they are and go from strength to strength.

delicious food nice Anna was in reception

Omg the food here is sooo tasty. Its so fresh and so tasty. My favs Included the chilli paneer starter, chicken friend rice, paranthas with gravy, cauliflour manchurian, alu parantha. It's just made when you order and it's just delicious.

Great Srilankan food, not oily/healthy, another favourite South Asia food.

We are never disappointed with the quality of food and service from Ganesh. Highly Recommend any time you want proper comfort food that gives you a hug every spoonful. Always cheers us up. Xx

Yummy food. Generous servings and value for money. Left tummy and heart full!

So, Glad to have a local Srilankan restaurant and most importantly catering tasty food with good balance of spice. Very friendly staff, clean environment what more can anyone ask!!!

Best South Indian/ Sri Lankan restaurant I have ever visited in England. Amazing Food, Authentic Cuisine, and Very Friendly Service.. I have eaten many times, and every time I have received delicious food.. Highly recommend, and they pay special attention to individual customer requirements. Thank you Gobi Sir, Bhaskar Sir, Vinoth, Sundaram Sir, Fazly and the entire team for the great service… :-)

Their food is ok but they are definitely scam artists. I made an order on deliveroo and they missed out one part of my order. When I called them, they tried to say it was in the bag instead of just admitting that they messed up and then when I got deliveroo to arrange a redelivery for the missed item they rejected the order. It’s a shame because the way you have a successful company is through customer loyalty. If you’re rude and lack integrity, then you’ll be destined to fail. So I give these guys 1 more year before they close up shop with their bad attitude towards repeat customers.

We ordered our first Ganesha Sri-Lanakan/South Indian food takeaway last night and were nervous whether it would be good. It was really good! And we are not easily pleased. Medium spice was perfect and as other reviewers state, portions are good. Lamb was just the right consistency, not chewy or undercooked, nor soft and pappy. Prawns really delicious and tasty. All 5 dishes were really lovely, top marks. Keep prices where they are and other local Indian restaurants with higher prices, will lose share to these guys.

Good Srilankan food and very friendly staff.

Really good food and good delivery times. Food was fresh.

Chilli Idly, chicken biryani, masala dosa, payasam, coffee. Tasty food 😍

Good quality food and excellent customer service .

Excellent food and unbeatable value with generous portions. Home style authentic cuisine and friendly staff. Convenient parking nearby.

Best South Indian/Tamil restaurant in town!
