Best Indian food I've had in ddorf so far…read more We ordered fish thali and chicken tikka tandoori. We were satisfied. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The naan wasn't the best I've had but it was fine. Raita, chai, and mixed pickle were just right. Totally recommend.

Solid Indian restaurant that isn't afraid of spice. I dropped by for dinner on a weeknight and we…read morehad no problem getting a table without reservations. I tried the palak murgh (12.50) - Spinach & chicken curry with chunks of ginger and garlic. This was great comfort food for a cold evening. The bowls look small but I couldn't even finish because it was so rich. The garlic naan went nicely with this - tasted fresh and chewy. Also had a bite of the chicken tikka masala (SPICY) and chicken madras (mustard & coconut curry). I will say that I agree with the previous reviewer that the curries were very salty in addition to the other flavors, so be sure you have water on hand. The atmosphere & decor isn't the best, but the food brightened the place up. If you're craving Indian, this should fit the bill.

TOURIST TRAP - I trusted the ratings…read more.. You probably ended up here due to the incredible rating on google. 4.8 at 1600 reviews is astonishing but also alarming. The majority of people are English people, thus we knew that most of them probably ended up here just like us - the google ratings. The whole utensils were dirty. The prices totally exaggerated. A small portion for 19-25€. The service was not attentive. We asked for recommendation and they were annoying pointing towards some dishes. Taste wise everything is slightly spicy. I had way better Butter chicken and laughed when I tried their garlic naan that's been promoted hardly here which taste simply bland. The seafood platter for 26€ consists of mostly Paprika and surimi which is not even real fish. Overall I truly believe the business model is to lure people, especially tourists into trying mayur and then ending up paying shit lots of money for little value so that this place get a one-shot big return for their food. That's why this place is full because it doesn't haben regulars. Our dishes were disappointing and it's another underwhelming story of the feeling that we all hate - leaving tons of money for dissatisfying food that makes you feel bad because of the cheap ingredients, the calories and the expensiveness. The staff doesn't look happy and are clearly being underpaid and micromanaged. I really regret coming here For my German friends I say it in one sentence: Geht nicht hin, lasst euch nicht verarschen von den Google Bewertungen die safe gekauft sind.

Terrible customer service and very shady business practices…read more.. 1) It began with them ringing up the wrong order for take-out, and then when I corrected their order, they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay for the mistake they made plus the new order I made...no. THAT is NOT customer service. It took me going back and forth with them for more than 5 minutes letting them know that I was not going to pay for a mistake they made on my order. He then processed my order w/ the original dish by telling me that "it was 'about' the same amount"..I believe the original dish was at least two euros more expensive. 2) When I had ordered over the phone, I was not told, neither did it say on the online menu that rice was included with my curry so I had ordered a side of rice.. most restaurants would let me know if I ordered double the rice that my dish already came with a side of rice so I wouldn't order more than I needed -----when i got home, I literally had enough rice to feed an entire country.. 3) they gave me some form of re-heated naan, because the outer naan was soggy and soft, and the middle was hard as plastic.

This one is near the hot spot of Japanese restaurants in Dusseldorf. I made a reservation on OpenTable but that wasn't necessary. The food was excellent and I found the interior to be pleasant and fitting with the vibe. Service was sufficiently attentive. I ordered a cocktail with my food and it was just ok. Maybe the other cocktails are better.

I tried the chicken tikka (€8.90) and all the sides - my faves were the lentils and chickpeas. They didn't have naan when I went, so I tried the homemade chapati and this was perfect for dipping. It's just a stall, so seating can be tricky, but definitely worth the wait to sit and people watch.

The naan in particular is excellent and pairs nicely with the curries. The portion sizes are on the smaller side compared to what I would have loved. That said it was not a deal breaker and simply meant that I ended up ordering an extra entrée. The quality of the food made that an easy decision. The location is convenient and not too far from the main station which makes it a good option if you are arriving by train or staying nearby. Overall Ganesha is a solid choice for Indian food with good flavors good bread and a central location.

The place is dark and dated, not much love put into decorations and clearly everything is old. Positives: The staff was friendly and the food came fast. But unfortunately it lacked flavor (which seems impossible with indian food) and wasn't cooked all the way through. I still hope I won't get food poisoning. Compared to so many other places available in Düsseldorf I wouldn't recommend. But based on other reviews I wouldn't have gone here in the first place, I only went because some colleagues picked out the place.

Service was quite friendly and welcoming with smiling people. And that's the only positive news I can write here! Food is not fresh at all! Rice was atleast 2 days old (any idiot could find it), it had ZERO vegetables in it and being an Indian kitchen, it offered one single vegetarian curry in whole buffet. My friends informed that the meat dishes weren't fresh or tasty either. It's one time visit. If you ever tasted Indian food somewhere else, please avoid this restaurant. I feel sad for the friendly people over there, but I cannot go and eat there again. Food is of really bad quality.

The tom yum soup is small but packs a punch. They do a tomato-y version, which gives it body and something to cut the spice. And it is super spicy, just like it should be. Papaya salad was my favorite - super tasty! Not sure why they added corn + chicken, because this salad was delish all on its own. Again, extreme levels of spice, balanced with delicious crunchy green papaya. The ginger basil chicken with green beans was solid. It reminded me of meals you can grab on the streets of Bangkok, which is a huge compliment! The place is managed by a friendly Thai lady who makes everything herself. She literally smashes chilis and sauces and spices in a stone bowl. Because of this, the food took a little longer, but the authenticity was totally worth it.

But first of all back to the first statement they look like a typical Thai Imbiss in Düsseldorf, however they took 37 minutes for a take out order during which we waited in the car (first they said 20 minutes) way tooooo long. But then my wife went back inside to pick up the food after 15 minutes and saw its far from ready but she also saw they made the spice mixes fresh from scratch by hand in a stone bowl with crusher... yummy! Also the prices were not exactly Imbiss prices like 8-10 euro per dish, however also not full blown restaurant prices. So I said this better be good, oh and it was. We had papaya chicken salad, very flavorful, good combination of acid and fruit and I think I could taste fish sauce as well... The duck breast curry was just awesome. Ingredients included real Thai eggplant (the small round green ones) single peeled grapes (now I know what takes so much time), lychee and lime leaves as well as the usual suspects... Oh and not to forget the really juicy and tender duck breast. The combination with the freshly made spice mix was just a taste explosion - In a very good way. The fried rice was rather boring but that was also due to the fact that we said our baby boy is eating that as well and I am sure he is not yet into Thai taste explosions. The portions were rather big and we, 2 1/2 people, could eat twice. And it truly felt I am eating in Thailand... My new go to place for Thai food (but I will pre order for take out now that I have a menu at home).
