Ganesha Restaurant — Restaurant in Watford

A very typical Srilankan Restaurant. They claim to be south indian restaurant but actually they ain't. Yes they do serve some indian food here but they taste very different to the original indian recipe. Food is a bit expensive compared to the quality. Most foods are way to oily to eat

Hands down best Authentic Sri lankan / South indian food, they have an array of mouthwatering dishes which just makes me drool , my favuorites are Mutton Devil sizzling and Gobi manchurian .. The quality and taste of the food is through the roof and it is easy on the wallet.

The service team at priya were happy to accomodate all my requests, moreover this place is very ideal for parties , they have a hall downstairs which can be rented at no extra cost provided the party is ordering food , they can provide hall with giant bluetooth woofer speakers, there is a cozy patio for smoking. Truly recommed this iconic restaurant to everyone

Very nice restaurant. From a large choice of nearby similar restaurants I chose this one based on the decor I could see from outside; the others looked too garish for a relaxed meal, which is what I was looking for. The service was excellent, my waiter couldn't do enough for me and was more than happy to help explain dishes I was unfamiliar with. Decent sized portions and very tasty. Usually with a curry they try to skimp on the meat but here the meat is plentiful so with that in mind I was very happy to pay what I did for the meal, and leave a tip.

Decor is really nice and relaxing, just enough lighting to be able to see what you're eating and provide a soothing atmosphere at the same time. My one and only discomfort was that the front door shuts too slowly and let's all the cold air in (during winter of course) when customers arrive, but looking around it was clear that I was the only one who didn't know this being a first time customer, as everyone else was seated on the other side of the restaurant. Will definitely visit again...

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...

We ordered a takeaway from here, we ordered the mutton rolls, the mutton kothuroti, chicken 65 and the small Tiffin with 3 idlis, 1 vadai and sambar chutney.

Mutton rolls - flavourful and spicy (as they should be!) But dry

Chicken 65 - I wouldn't order this again, dry and chewy and not full of the 65 spices as it should be

Idli, vadai, sambar and chutney - the actual idli and vadai were soft, fresh and really well made. This was let down by the sambar and chutney which were bland and not authentic in taste

Kothuroti - this was the star of the show 😀 a classic Sri lankan dish made so well! Tasty, full or flavour and the mutton was so tender and well cooked - could have been spicier but appreciate they need to cater to all tastes.

Would definitely return just for...
