Ganges Lounge in Milton Keynes

Wasn’t up to usual high standards curry had no spice and was like a gravy. I order here and visit from the malsters the only curry place I go to! but this was very disappointing food was only just warm and not hot

1st time here. Service was great. Unfortunately we all found the chicken tough and very dry...more effort required to cut a piece than should be expected . Cocktails although delicious are overpriced for what you get three sips of my old fashioned and it was done... Not good value at £9.95 Really enjoyed the flavours but based on the chicken won't be visiting again.

Had a lovely meal. Good prices. Need to book as is popular. Can get drafty if sitting in line with door. Will go again

Great Food, Great Value and Friendly staff Sunday Buffet is a must!

I had a t/away about 6 30 saturday night and it was busy. Nice new carpet, friendly staff. So what about the food? (I had a Chicken Methi madras hot, boiled rice, plain nan & onion bhaji). The bhaji was v good as was the nan, great portion of fresh rice. The methi was hotter than expected but I liked it apart from it being a bit salty. Good quality of meat). 2 pops & dips on the house. The draft kingfisher was excellent. Overall v good

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend who has been a patron for years. On our first visit last month we arrived without a reservation and were given a warm welcome and seated immediately. The food and service received was second to none. We returned last Saturday night with friends (pre-booked this time). Again the Guys welcomed us as if we'd been going there for years. The food was absolutely sublime. My lamb dish was beautifully spiced and just melted in the mouth. All of the dishes we had were absolutely superb. The guys were attentive without being overbearing and the atmosphere relaxed with a little banter which was just perfect for us. The house wine was also really nice! We would highly recommend a visit to this gem of a restaurant. On my next visit I'm going to move out of my comfort zone and let the guys guide me with my menu choices as offered and experience even more delights. If you don't visit this lovely restaurant you'll be missing out. Absolutely beats the restaurants in the city centre hands down. Just fabulous 👌

What a superb restaurant, from the moment we arrived the staff were very welcoming. Drinks order was taken with knowledge and the right information shared for us to make our choices and although I had ordered a large bottle of Cobra it was brought to me with a half pint glass - I liked that! When we ordered our food the waiter was very helpful in offering advice about spices and recommendations. The food was mouthwatering. I would highly recommend them.

You will not find friendlier staff or more attentive service. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is authentic Indian. I love the depth of flavour in the food and as someone that loves spicy curries, it's nice to have proper spicy food not just a few dishes with tonnes of chilli powder mixed in. the breads are delicious and fresh but my favourite is always the mixed Biriani, the lamb bakara and the spiciest Keema they dare to make, on the last occasion they did this with fresh naga and gave me a Naga on the side! I adore the food here and it's the only place I'll go to in MK for a curry. Shaz and his team are great people and I'll always sing their praises. Go and ask for your curry how you like it and they'll bend over backwards to make sure it's something you'll enjoy.

Had an early dinner before going to an ice hockey match. Everything was perfect. Food was delicious, service impeccable, and the restaurant was spotless. As the only diners, it was quiet but I'm sure that when it's busier, it would have a better vibe. Prices are really good as well. Looking forward to going back again.

lovely food and good portion sizes.

Excellent food and the guys are great. Good portions and the flavours are brilliant! Well worth a visit to eat in or takeaway.

Consistently excellent food and service! We've been using the Ganges Lounge for years and have always been extremely happy with everything. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is amazing and you won't be disappointed however you choose to eat, in the restaurant, delivery or collection... It's definitely the best Indian restaurant in the area. Thank you Ganges Lounge for everything!

pricey for a standard quality. a bit oily for my liking.

Great curries, can't go wrong. Worth trying at least once.

A fantastic warm and friendly welcome, as always. Great food and service. We always recommend if anyone fancies a decent Indian meal

Everything was great, went for a takeaway for my son's 40th birthday, food and service as good as always 😀

Tasty food and a varied menu, if a bit pricey for take-away. Will use again.

Ordered via deliveroo and I forgot to add Onion Bajis onto our order, I called the restaurant and they were happy to accommodate my mistake and then added them onto our order for free. Amazing service, incredibly friendly staff and food always comes 10/10. Best Indian food in Milton Keynes by far!

Normally great food but on this occasion very poor, the massala sauce very runny and watery not sure if they have changed chefs perhaps.. Will leave it a while before I order again..

Food was great, but price is definitely premium. Not sure it was worth it, given how much it cost (there ard other, less expensive options)

One of the most friendly places I've been Food unbelievable and customer service outstanding Thank you for a great evening See you soon

Best Indian in Fenny Stratford xxxxx

Always a really nice meal when either sitting in or takeaway. Had the buffet for the first time and a very good spread of choices. Definitely our go to for a curry!

1st time there, for a group of 24 people for a 60th birthday, service good, help yourself buffet all dishes nice and tasty with plenty of meat, will definitely go back soon. 10/10

Always Great Service and Great Food 💯👍

When I'm in the area there's no other place I'd go. Top service and always amazing food.

Hands down the best in Milton Keynes. The food is excellent and fresh, but what makes it shine is the atmosphere. The guys are friendly and welcoming, it’s like having an excellent dinner at a friend’s house. We have been to many restaurants around MK but we always come back here and have a wonderful, relaxing and friendly meal. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Lovely meal tonight , and lovely ambience

Food is good. Lovely ambiance. Friendly service, helpful and polite staff.

Best Indian takeaway in Bletchley and Milton Keynes by far. Friendly staff, local delivery, very tasty food and generous portions. You won’t be dissapointed

Had my 69th here and service was excellent with great food

Last minute I called for a table for 8 of us and they were really accommodating & tried their best managing to fit us in slightly later than we wanted. Really nice food with friendly service too. Would definitely return.

Best Indian restaurant in town. Cater for all our large family’s needs. Friendly, polite and accommodating. Definitely would recommend.

We decided to treat ourselves on Thursday this week and go out for a meal. This was our first time dining in at Cafe Ganges, and we were really happy with the food, service and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. We had a take-away just over a month ago and the food then was equally as good. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing! My first time here after friends recommendations and you can’t fault anything. We felt really welcome the second we came in, and shown to our table. Everything was really well timed, drinks then nibbles whilst looking through the menu. So much to choose from but I went for the lamb starter and duck for mains… sauce was so good with the duck. A big mention to the staff, they were so nice, always on hand if you needed them, so friendly. Thank you for your hospitality! Definitely the best Indian in Blechley I’ve had in 40 years in the town. Much love guys!

Plenty of choice, food and service is very good

Group of 4 attending 14/10/2023 . Lovely staff , very polite couldn’t do enough for you but not over your shoulder every 5 minutes. Food very high standard and all arriving at the same time which is always a plus . Food portions were of plentiful sizes at very reasonable prices. Will definitely return and recommend. Thank you very much for a great evening.

Easily the best Indian meal I have had in many years. I came alone on a Saturday night, but the friendly staff managed to find me a seat. The food arrive quickly and boy was it tasty. Food, service, everything really was simply fantastic. Highly recommended.

We travel the UK waterways on a narrowboat and regularly eat in the local indian restaurants, we ate here twice , once on the way down and once coming back up. The meals were one of the best we have had in all of our travels, one was a takeaway and the one tonight a Banquest Wednesday which was great value for money . The service was great attentive but not over the top and food tasty and good quality . I cannot recommend the restaurant highly enough if we were local I think we would be there an awful lot. A big thank-you to the Shaz and the staff who looked after us really well.

This place I found to be an amazing experience. All too often I am left disappointed with Indian restaurants, some bits are okay, others not so good, some food okay other bits not so much. But here I and my party left on a high. The food was stunning, from the popadoms, to the Onion Bhajis; the bombay aloo to the mixed grill, from the veg curry to the biriani, we could not find fault. Staff were professional , polite and friendly. I highly recommend. My son took us there as he is love with the coconut shavings which accompany the popodums.

Very rarely will I leave a four fold 5 star review, but this is one plcae I could not fault.The staff were exemplary, not in your face , but ready to hand, they were friendly, and welcoming, and the food was mouthwatering. My son and his wife took us there on the 10th September, he was raving about the coconut shavings that accompany the popadoms, and I am gld they did. If in the area, or if visiting well worth eating here.

First time here. Lovely little place. Very friendly team and great food..

Disappointed our sons curry did not arrive and I rang to be told we had it! Loved food first time but not impressed this time

I have nothing but regrets. Food quality used to be great but now abysmal. Don't do this to yourself. This place is over. Go elsewhere.

Really good service. Food has been top notch evertime we have been. We have always been part of a large party and dispite been chaotic with kids and big kids (adults) they have never messed up an order and food has been brought out promptly. To be honest can't fault the place. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service and the staff are great.

On behalf of myself and the mk Irish football team, we had a fantastic experience. The food was lovely and come out very quickly, we were looked after magnificently… We will definitely be coming back.

We were in a big group but even so the service was great and the food was fantastic, will definitely go again.

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! Definitely recommend this place. Compliments to the chef for a yummy king prawn biryani and tarka dall 👌🏼

Food is top tier, atmosphere is great and the service is personal. My favourite curry house in MK. Proper curry house!

Organised a birthday dinner here, staff where lovely, very good atmosphere and a good laugh with the staff, dinner came out lovely and within a reasonable time and pipimg hot, came to this restaurant alot in the past and can never ever fault the service, honestly if your looking for a lovely Indian dinner with a good attitude and amazing service I really recommend this place

We stopped here for dinner tonight and we were not disappointed. We have been a number of times before and we are always happy with the quality of the food. It is delicious and is a good price. What makes the place for me is that the staff are always so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I always feel completely at home there and they don't even mind the mess my 2 year old made (sorry about that). I would highly recommend a meal here.

Hardly any veg dishes like paneer for example , this is not a restaurant for people who want to eat closer to original taste of Indian dishes, paneer curry was soaked in sugar , maybe people here will eat but I wouldn’t recommend this place. Service was good though.

Great food and atmosphere they couldn't do enough to help with menus and service was superb

I'm unable to attend the restaurant, but if the food is anything to go by,then hats off to the chefs!! I was brought up in Birmingham and know a good curry when I taste one. I've tried several Indians all over the country and never rated any untill I tried Ganges Lounge! You Really Have to try them guys!!!

May I tell u this evening I had chicken korma n then chicken melted in my mouth♥️♥️♥️😋,an the pilau rice 🍚 was so light n fluffy 😘😋💯⚘️♥️there takeaway system is calm but very quick 👌 And their food packed properly even a a bottom bag leaking protective xx All in all I've told everyone l know get ya orders in xxx💯💯💯💯💯

1st visit here and what a great meal, went on there banquet night 4 courses consisting of starter, main side and either rice or nan bread. Very tasty food well presented and served piping hot, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, and being midweek it was very busy. I will be returning very soon, would definitely recommend this Indian restaurant but would suggest you book in advance.

Amazing food. Great service too. Went to the banquet Wednesday and the quality, service and the price were all brilliant. Can’t fault it I’ll be back next wednesday

First time back here in a long time (over a year), and it was like no time had past. It was busy with guests in the bar and restaurant area, but it felt like everything was in control, and we were soon shown to our table. The staff recognised us and asked about family and how we had been. Ali is a fantastic host, and everyone there seemed to be regulars or at least were treated a such by the staff. The food was fast and delicious, and they were able to cater for a vegan guest without any issues. We'll be back soon.

First time ordering from here after spending hours finding a suitable Indian Takeaway and I was so happy with my order. Everything I ordered was perfectly spiced, tasty and honestly a 10/10. Will definitely order again and am extremely excited to try other dishes on your menu. Delivery was also very quick and the gentlemen was very nice and polite. Well done Ganges Lounge, have already recommended you to my parents! Thank you for the brilliant food and top quality

Absolutely spot in great service good food, Main dishes had loads of chicken, not to much veg highly recommend

Delicious food and a wonderful experience - would highly recommend!

Amazing food and very nice staff. Highly recommended if you are in the area

Absolutely amazing! The smell of the dishes on other tables was absolutely incredible. The service, food quality and atmosphere was great. If you’re looking for a restaurant for a special occasion, definitely recommend.

Very friendly and funny waiters, food amazing, great service

This was a jewel of a restaurant with one of the best curries l have ever had. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. When in the area again they will definitely have my custom. If you are near give it a go.

Our friends recommended highly Ganges Lounge and they met expectation! Delicious food and great service. Reasonable prices too. Go try it for yourself ! 👍

Awesome quality Indian cuisine, super friendly staff who can’t do enough for you. Will even make things to your taste likes.

Another great meal at the Ganges. 100% the best Indian restaurant in MK. Fantastic food, quality produce cooked to your taste. The Guys at the Ganges are true professionals they know when to leave you alone or when to have a little banter.

Great food nice atmosphere very helpful staff 3rd visit now so much be doing something right see you soon

excellent food and service so many choices difficult to decide what to get lovely friendly staff

Had a delivery from Ganges on Saturday,I have never tasted such a tasteless mushy mess with no heat or flavour and my partner's dish was just the same by far the worst curries we have ever eaten.

Absolutely fantastic food. Great menu and the guys are always happy to explain the ingredients and how the dishes are cooked

Tried several Indian restaurants and alway go back to this one. The price is reasonable, Compare to other Restaurants/takeaways with a good potion from all the dishes. My recommendation for those who like a selection dishes, go for the Thali.

Popped in for a quick meal with my lady and we had a great time. The food was first rate.

We were supposed to be going th the Plough in Simpson but the chef was ill so the barman recommended the Ganges Lounge and we were not disappointed the food was amazing, the staff were fantastic and all in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable night! I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for the food and service brilliant!

Ganges and the wonderful staff are still as great as ever. Please do your best to support them in these difficult times, as it's a local treasure.

best food in the whole entire world

Super good food there is no end to the flavours. Excellent.

This is my favourite restaurant in MK. Always great food and the usual good service with a slice of banter from Ali. Raju always sorts us out with a never tried before dish that somehow is better than the last. Then Shaz at the front of house always looking after all his guests / customers. You won’t be disappointed if your trying it for the first time, and if you do I guarantee you will be be back.

Been going here for years with my family and have never been disappointed by the service and or the food

I have been coming to here for around 10 years now!!! Of course I have tried different restaurants but I can't stress how consistent and beautiful their food is !!! The staff are superb! Shaz and all the staff welcome you evertime with open arms and will do there upmost best to make your experience as best as it possibly can! Their food is absolutely stunning and I couldn't recommend highly enough to eat here! Enjoy who ever goes 🤗❤

This is not food related. I would like to say a massive thank you to Raj and his brother for helping me last night. My car had broke down as I entered a roundabout in Bletchley. My front wheel had come off collapsing the front of my car. It could not be moved. The rain was hammering it down and my phone was not working. Raj stopped as he was driving by he asked if he could help, which I gladly accepted. He let me use his phone to call RAC and I sat with him as the police arrived to secure the area I thanked Raj then he went on his way. In the confusion I left my phone in his car. I told the police and left for the restaurant which was a two minute walk away. Raj was not there he had finished for the night. However after explaining my dilemma to Raj brother he also helped. He called Raj and gave me water to calm me as he could see I was wet cold and anxious. Anyway Raj came back and found phone. As I say not food related.. I just wanted to say thank you once again to Raj his brother for their empathy support and showing true care. Amazing gentleman that really helped me. If the food there is a amazing as them, you will have an enjoyable time. Thank you Ganges Lounge. 👍😊

Had an absolutely beautiful meal last night in the Ganges. I would really recommend this restaurant Starters chicken, gulbahar & chilli special Mains mushroom rice garlic & coriander nan Lamb tikka patia and chicken tikka Ganges special really really tasty

Can't get a table for one when the restaurant is empty your loss not mine I'll spend my money elsewhere

Now I know why every single time I walk along this restaurant it is always very busy and has a long queue! It's absolutely amazing!. If you like spice or you like Indian food, this is the right place. Beautiful decorated food, it is absolutely delicious, I wanted more! With great decor, it's super clean, neat and the staff is super attentive, friendly, polite, helpful. Sometimes you find not that friendly staff in some restaurants, but I was delighted that this place has excellent staff. You can make a reservation or you can pop in and see if you are lucky and have a table quickly. As I mentioned before, most of the time there is a long queu to get in but believe me it's worth the waiting. Overall fantastic restaurant and guaranteed to have great food.

This review is from Jan 2021. Waiters are great, have been here a few times, but the last time was for a takeaway at 6pm and it was cold!!!! Couldn't be bothered to complain once home so voted with my feet, because there is an abundance of other suitable Indian takeaways in the close vicinity.

Great staff and Sunday banquet such could value for money

Lovely service and beautiful food!

Great food. Fresh, adaptable to your taste. The only thing I would change is to somehow create partitions between tables as it feels like the table next to you is on your table.

Food was great service was great

We ordered a takeaway. It was delicious. It arrived within the hour. Food was hot. Probably the reason it has high consistent ratings.i would highly recommend.

Excellent customer service. Excellent food. Excellent experience!!!

Food was great no complaints there , service not that great, as they looked after the regulars more then new customers, didn't come round to see how the food was or if we wanted any drink, water etc.

Great food great company always pleasant

Fantastic as usual great guys and always reasonable price.

Great customer service. Stayed open late just for us!

Excellent food. I order once a week (if my wife let's me) and every week I'm impressed, so thought I'd share my experience. Lamb Madras, Chilli Rice, Bombay Potatoes, Naan, Poppadoms and Chutneys. Delivered to Newton Longville. Well done Ganges, keep it up.
