Ganesha

In Bedminster, Bristol, Ganesha brings the true taste of India to the table.

Drawing on years spent cooking in India, the kitchen leans on fresh spices, slow-simmered marinades and the primal heat of the clay oven to tell its story.

Aromas billow from the tandoor, promising comfort and a little theatre. The menu moves from smoky tandoori chicken and tender chicken tikka to South Indian favourites such as Chicken 65 and Chilli Chicken, bright with yoghurt, chilli and curry leaves.

Vegetarians are well looked after, with crisp onion bhaji and golden samosas leading to the gentle embrace of saag paneer. Seafood lovers find the tangy lift of Aleppy Prawn in mango sauce, while the chef’s specials travel further: Kodai Fried Fish Masala balances fried sea bream with spiced masala, and Lamb Shank Paya Korma slow cooks to silken richness.

For the ceremony, fragrant biryani pairs with naan fresh from the tandoor and a sweet, fruit-studded rice.

Settle in as the spice speaks for itself and the clay oven sets the rhythm. Gather friends, follow the aromas, and let Ganesha be the guide to bold, balanced flavours - a little spice and everything nice!
