The kitchen is the soul of a restaurant as it is of a home, providing warmth, nourishment and evocative smells. An air of expectancy surrounds the kitchen as the work of the day begins. It is a place of hard work, companionship and great rewards, and most importantly, it brings people together to feast on the results. Ganapati is the south Indian name for the elephant-headed god Ganesh. He is the well-loved remover of obstacles, with a particular fondness for sweets.

The food was ok, not great. The service was rushed. The waitress brought our bill while we were still finishing our meal. 2 minutes later, another person came with her card machine. I said we weren't ready to pay or leave, to which she replied that our booking was over, and that they needed our table for their next customers. Amateurish and disrespectful. These people are greedy hypocrites with total disregard for their customers.

Had a lovely meal at Ganapati, the service was attentive and friendly. Also very patient when asking about gluten-free options and making sure to check with the kitchen about certain dishes. Lovely Indian food that differs from the standard menu. Love to have sides and accompaniments included with the main dish.

The service was great! Really friendly and helpful staff. The food was overall good but I found it quite pricey given the size of the portions.

Visited for a catch up with friends after being told they served " the best food I've had since I was in India" by my other half. The food certainly didn't disappoint, the staff were lovely and the service was great. Make sure you book a table as it is always busy! Will definitely be going back....regularly!

Brilliant evening. Cosy restaurant, attentive staff and amazing food. Great selection for both vegetarians and meat eaters, and good to see seasonal choices on the menu too. Highly recommended but be sure to book in advance!
