Ganesh Restaurant is roof-top dhaba located near M I Road, a short walking distance from Bapu Bazar / Nehru Bazar.
A colleague who has been their loyal customer for many years, brought me here for lunch. On 1st look, it didn't seem like a restaurant but I was told that the tables are put up (in the open area) in the evening. We were seated in the dining area outside the kitchen.
We ordered for GATTE KI SUBZI [INR 80], PANEER BUTTER MASALA [INR 90], SEV TAMATAR [INR 80], MASALA ROTI [INR 15]
Gatte Ki Subzi was nice & flavourful with Gatte were nicely cooked. Paneer cubes though small were soft, the gravy tasted similar to the Gatte Ki Subzi gravy. Sev Tamatar was made slightly spicy on request but tomatoes were cut into huge chunks; 4 pieces from one tomato, which made it uncomfortable to consume. Masala Roti was a nice innovation, a mix of dry spices was sprinkled on the dough & then baked in the Tandoor. All in all the food was good to taste; slightly oily in texture.
Hygiene in the dining area is one thing which I think the restaurant lacked. The kitchen looks pretty old but could do with a nice touch up & being kept a bit more clean.
A good...

Got there at 6pm and the first part of the adventure is finding the entrance (see picture). We then climbed to the first floor where the restaurant was indicated to us, and were greeted by a group of men, just staring. Continued to the left and realised there was absolutely no one, but another group of another 8-9 men about the kitchen area. We were greeted furthermore with a nerve-wracking laugh by two waiters. Finally got to order the Ganesh special (curry with chickpeas, paneer, onions, red peppers and cabbage) and the garlic naan. It was delicious, but the atmosphere was just too overwhelming for us to enjoy our dinner without worrying about our safety. Would recommend solo female travellers do not go by themselves and to probably wait until 7pm not to feel too awkward about sitting...
