Ganesh Hải Phòng - Nhà hàng Ấn Độ — Restaurant in Hải Phòng

Stumbled upon Ganesh while staying in Hai Phong, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly ground spices hits you—in the best way possible. It’s a cozy place with a welcoming vibe, and the staff make you feel right at home. I ordered the paneer tikka and garlic naan (classic combo, I know), and it was spot-on. Creamy, flavourful, with just the right amount of spice. The naan came out warm and fluffy—perfect for scooping up every bit of sauce. Also tried their dhal and Masal Chaas and was impressed by how well-balanced the Flavors were. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and they’ve got a solid range of vegetarian options too. The service was friendly and not overbearing. Food didn’t take long to arrive, and everything tasted fresh. It’s clear they know what they’re doing in the kitchen. If you're in Hai Phong and craving Indian food, this is your place. Great for both quick dinners or longer meals...

To be fair, I had ordered their lamb and chicken thali several times before without any issues, but this time was very different. (Apologies for the bathroom photo with vomit, but I didn’t want to make this claim...

Free water was served unlike the "Indian kitchen restaurant", where I had to pay for it.

I had ordered jeera rice, and a plate of samosa (which comes with 2 pieces).

For samosa, they had served meeta chutney and spicy chutney.

If I had to say one flaw, then it would be for papad which wasn't crisp enough. Anyways, it was offered complimentary.

Google map did take me to the right location. But, the restaurant was not visible enough even though it was on the main road. At least, the name board could've been broadly visible. Me being a first timer, I was struggling to find the whereabouts of...
