My friend and I were trying to find a place to eat and sit down. We didnt know what to go and eat, but we were both thinking about Indian food so we decided to try this place. It was a really good choice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The services were good, the atmosphere was calming and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food came out quick after ordering. Everything was good, the garlic naan was delicious and so was the other dish. It did not disappoint us at all, everything was yummy and tasty. Everything had good flavor, you can taste the different flavors and they all balance out so well. Recommend to friend and family! read more

Had seen Dancing Ganesha in the days I used to live in Minneapolis but never had the pleasure of trying it. Was visiting family and decided to try it out. For the Indians craving traditional Indian flavors, in my opinion, this may not live up to expectations. We tried the samosas. The casing was exceptional. Crispy and held itself. The filling; hmmmm, didn't care for it much. The gobi manchuran we ordered as an appetizer too, not what we expected. It lacked the 'crispy' feel as it had a lot of the sauce. Traditionally, even when saucy, the gobi has an awesome crisp to the extent it's crunchy. Fun to eat. The other thing we didn't enjoy in the flavor profile of this was the ketchup. It felt like there was a good amount of ketchup that was used in the sauce. The tomato soup was EXCELLENT. It was a cool evening and the warm, rich, slightly sour soup hit the spot. I ordered the chole bhature. I think that was the most disappointing. The chole was not bad but the bhature; come on guys. You know what real bhature is. What was served was closer to something like a version of pita bread (little different) but not a bhature. If there was a 'sin' committed, I would say it was not serving a traditional bhature for a dish called chole bhature. We also ordered a dal makhani which was alright. The paneer makhani was really good. The paneer was super fresh and the flavor while not original (to me) was still really good. The service was fantastic. Our server was friendly, attentive, made sure our waters were always filled and checked in on us from time to time without being overwhelming while yet not disappearing. Would I come here again? Yes, to try the meats I will. I do feel the flavors may have been created to cater to the American taste buds so the authencity of the stuff we tried was just not there. read more

Dancing Ganesha - Maple Grove - Indian Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Freshly made Indian cuisine. You have a choice of heat. We ordered the chicken Tikka Masala and shrimp Tikka Masala which was served with rice. We also ordered the garlic naan which was really good and the papadum which was served with two really tasty dipping sauces! I prefer the round puffy papadum, but it was good. Nice ambiance. The service was prompt and our server was attentive and fun to talk to. This was our first time and we will be back. read more

It was our son's 19th birthday yesterday, and we told him he could pick anywhere he wanted to go for lunch. He chose Dancing Ganesha in Maple Grove. Indian cuisine isn't something our family is very familiar with, so we really weren't sure what to expect, but he assured us it was phenomenal. My husband has tried curry dishes in the past and has never been a fan, so I looked up the menu in advance and tried to plan out a few things I thought he might like just to be proactive. I'm really glad I did. Their menu includes a variety of dishes we had never even heard of before, and researching it ahead of time really helped me understand the flavor profiles and what to expect. We went with a group of six and decided to sample a variety of dishes. We ordered Vegetable Samosas, Chicken 65, Gobi Manchurian, and Chili Chicken as appetizers. For entrées, we had Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken), Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Malabar, Chicken Korma, and Chicken Biryani. We asked for a medium spice level on everything. We also shared plain, garlic, and onion naan, along with a side of mango chutney. It gave us a great variety of flavors and was the perfect way to experience Indian cuisine for the first time. The thing that stood out most to me was the freshness of the food and the beautifully balanced flavors in every dish we received. Every time we tried something new, it was like, "Oh my goodness, you have to try this one!" It was so exciting to experience such well-made and delicious food in a way that was completely new to us. My husband even raved about it, which was shocking! The thing that surprised us most was the Gobi Manchurian. Our server told us it was their most popular appetizer, which I found interesting because it's cauliflower-based. It came out looking almost like sweet and sour chicken, and the flavor was spectacular. The medium spice level definitely brought enough heat to leave a little burn in the back of your throat, but it wasn't overwhelming. It balanced perfectly with the seasonings and spices and never overpowered the food. To be honest, we didn't really even know how to eat everything, so we just started piling different dishes onto our plates, mixing and matching sauces and flavors. Somehow, everything complemented each other incredibly well. After we finished our meal, we talked with the staff on our way out. They told us that everything is made from scratch using authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, and you can absolutely taste that level of quality in every dish. Oh yeah, the Mango Lassi drink was out of this world. It was like a creamy mango smoothie that you almost couldn't get enough of. Thinking about that alone makes me want to go back right now. I highly recommend checking it out, whether you already love authentic Indian food or you're simply an adventurous foodie looking for something delicious and surprising. We all left incredibly impressed. Grandma even said she'd be back! Very excited to have leftovers! read more

One of my favorite go-to places for Chicken Tikka Misala. Their naan, vegetable samosas, and paneer pakoras are all great! Every time I have ordered, it is always packaged well. They wrap the sauce cups for orders, which I appreciate as they can sometimes leak. Ordering online and picking up, ordering on Uber Eats, or ordering on DoorDash works great with this location. I tried the Chicken Tikka dosa once and wasn't a fan of the crepe. I prefer the garlic naan with my chicken Tikka misala as the naan is more sturdy for holding the chicken Tikka misala and it is more likely to arrive warm. When picking up, the location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quick process to pick up and inside has appeared clean during my visits.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope to try a few other menu options soon, but it's gonna be hard to sway from my favorites. read more

Called and picked up an order of Butter Chicken to-go. I forgot to add naan and they were able to easily add it for us and the staff was kind about it. Pick up is on the side closest to the parking lot which was convenient. They offer mild, medium, hot, or extra hot (we went with medium and it was plenty spicy for us - kind of a lingering spice). We enjoyed the overall flavor profile but thought the chicken could've been a bit more tender. read more

I absolutely love Indian cuisine and was super excited to give this spot a try based on high recommendations from friends. I was not disappointed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was recently opened in the last few years and the decor was clean, trendy and quite beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with the chicken 65 for our appetizer and it was very flavorful and delicious! I had the goat curry and the bread basket, which came with a variety of naan, garlic naan and deep fried bread. Everything was delicious, full of flavor and spices! Our server was very friendly and helpful. Overall a fantastic experience - I will definitely come again! read more

This deserves five stars since its authentic Indian cuisine and the flavors are amazing, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is nice and it's one of a kind in the suburbs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very prompt on a Monday night. The Neelgiri with chicken main entree was amazing and the Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower) appetizer was delicious. The Naan is a must order and goes great with entrees. The medium spice level was just right. I am so glad there's another authentic Asian place in the suburbs. Highly recommend! read more

Love this spot. I usually get the saag paneer extra spicy and they do give a good spice level (I usually like it HOT). This time I tried the butter masala paneer extra spicy and it was fantastic. Love their garlic naan. We've been getting take out from them here and there but we finally went and ate inside for the first time and the service was very attentive and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We shall continue to get Dancing Ganesha! read more

We haven't dined here but we've picked up. Their curry chicken and chicken josh is what I would recommend. We just recently moved into the area and have been looking for a good curry spot. This place is now our go to. Every one is very kind when we go in there. I'll place an order over the phone and it's ready in 15 mins! [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I have gone in to pu food it seems to be a cute spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will try dining in at some point. Definitely check this spot out! The food is very yummy. read more

I have had better Dosa's than the one here at Dancing Ganesh. I am not sure why, but the sambar had a strong smell of turmeric. The gobi Manchurian and dahi puri also didn't meet our expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the service was quick and the ambiance was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Really great Indian food tailored to your spice preference. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm a huge fan of the gobhi manchurian, veggie pakora, chicken makahnu, Chana masala, chili paneer, the garlic naan and bhatura, and so much more. Try a mango lassi and a chai and the rasmalai or kheer. Nothing here has ever disappointed me, just check and see how many pics are mine. read more

Need a little more spice in your life. You definitely need to try Dancing Ganesha's. My husband and I started out our lunch with the lamb samosas. They were fantastic! Crunchy on the outside and tasty on the inside. I ordered butter chicken and my husband ordered the chicken tikka Marsala, with a side of white rice, palak paneer with a side of garlic naan. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our server kept our drinks refilled and checked to make sure our experience was going well. All in all, we are a fan of this place. read more

Had an amazing experience here! I went with the server's suggestion to get the full experience, and they did not disappoint. The Gobi Manchurian was absolutely incredible--something I never would've thought to order on my own. We also tried the Scalloped Masala, Beef Malabar, and some garlic naan... and let's just say we left way too full because we couldn't stop eating. Every dish was flavorful and comforting. Can't wait to come back! Thank you! read more

The food was great! The service was horrendous! My server never checked on my table. She spent her time chatting with the other employees. She has waited on me on the past, and is never friendly and has no customer service skills! I will be looking for a place that appreciates my business. I had to go the front to ask for water. I also had to ask for boxes, foil, and bags to go. Such a disappointment! read more

I'm giving 2 stars because the food is very good. (It would be 1 star based on the service) We just ate here for the 2nd time, so I reserved giving a bad review until we visited twice to see if it would be better the 2nd time. We ordered sodas the first time and never got refills, the 2nd time the waitress never even asked us if we wanted anything besides water. The main issue is the younger female server, she is very rude, barely engages with you, takes dishes off the table while you're still eating, and acts like you're an inconvenience for being there.

Tried this place for the first time last night and currently eating the leftovers. Got their chicken curry which had a nice kick to it and tasted pretty good. Their garlic naan was solid as well. I tried their lamb samosas but felt they were really dry so cant recommend those even tho they pack it full of lamb/dont skimp and give you two sauces to drizzle over or dip. All of it was packaged extremely well too which is always a plus. 7/10 read more

Had a great date night here this week. The food was fantastic - the vegetable korma in particular is amazing - great service, and a great value at their prices. Might be our new "go to" for when we're craving Indian food. read more

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and our regular Indian place was closed. So we ordered from here. We were pleased, the food was good. Just didn't enjoy the Gobi Manchurian was too much breading for us. We loved the chicken tikka masala, just wish the chicken pieces were smaller. The Chicken Biriyani was amazing. The portions were smaller than our normal Indian restaurant so that was also slightly disappointing for us, but still decent portions. We ordered through door dash to be delivered and ate an hour after being delivered we got it and everything still tasted fresh and good. If our regular Indian place is closed again when we want Indian food we would order from here again. read more

Always had really good experience with their food. Tonight, it was just a big salt bomb. If this was our first time getting food from here, I would never order again. I really hope they haven't changed recipes. I threw away over half my order because instead of spice, they just added salt. Very disappointing considering how much the Vindaloo cost. I will definitely try again and hope it was just an off night. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great family dinner with our adult children.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very quick, friendly service. Our dinners were excellent- starting with garlic naan. Three people had their favorite: chicken tikka masala - excellent in a rich tomato sauce with onions and vegetables. Each requested a different level of "hotness" and were very pleased. Our son had the shrimp and I tried the chicken skewer - the meat was so slow cooked tender and perfectly flavored. Accompanied by the longest grain, best flavored rice I've ever seen! It was a perfect combination for those returning for fan favorites and a first timer. So much good food we had lunch for the next day. Full bar menu as well. And the final meal topper was the pistachio ice cream - delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Awesome dinner at "Dancing Ganesha" Maple Grove (near Costco) I was SO impressed with their service and FOOD! We had the most delicious Samosa Chaat, Lamb Josh Rogan, Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan.

Dancing Ganesha - Maple Grove - Punjabi Chana, Lamb Samosa, and Garlic Naan! - Indian Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

This review is regarding a take-out experience I had this week with this restaurant. The dine in experience may be different. In a nutshell, the quality of food here is not even close to the quality of the Minneapolis location, where I've had many meals. I thought trying this would be a similar experience. No such luck. The food was terrible! The samosas and the garlic naan were so overcooked the naan was rubbery and the samosas were hard. On top of that, all of the dishes were bland and even with medium spice there was no real use of spice that I am used to from the Minneapolis location. The only good thing for this order was the mint and tamarind chutneys. They were excellent. read more
