Ganesha Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

We came here because Saravana Bhavan closed on Monday..now, we are never going back there!

Good Indian food, I had some lamb with the classical side of garlic naan and fried onions as a starter and every bite was a pleasure. Order placed over Lieferando, delivery was fast, even on a busy Friday evening and the food was still warm on delivery.

Totally recommend for South Indian food.

Lamb kottu is very tasty. Good quantity and price

Delicious food, quick to prepare and great value for money.

I always return home with happy tastebuds and tummy. Tastes like home food.

Reminds us of Matunga South Indian restaurants in Mumbai😍😍

Simply amazing! Make sure you try the Lamb kottu there!

Great food, service is ok, atmosphere can be improved

A very good lunch is offered there as the all-you-can-eat. The service is very polite and the food tastes good! The store itself is tiny, and the simple interior just fits the store. Don't be put off by the furnishings, highly recommended! The price-performance ratio is great! I would love to come back.

Only place in Frankfurt, where you can find Authentic Kerala's food. However service and atmosphere is horrible

Excellent food and prices are very affordable.

Good and affordable indian food close to the station, Limited choice ( eat what is there) but happy that I had room for a 2nd round. Vegetarian and meat ( chicken) Vegetarian dishes were not spicy, could be more to my taste ... Chicken was one Spicy one not spicy Simple, not complicated environment but sat happily eating outside Hope to have a long layover next time ...

In Frankfurt for south Indian food. Best option.

Food was good and also friendly service. Mango lassi was perfect for summer time!

Very good restaurant near Frankfurt main Railway station.All the food varieties are very cheap and tasty.Must visit

Best place for South Indian food in Frankfurt. Their sambhar is really good, you can taste all the ingredients and efforts which would have gone in making it, the tanginess due to tamarind is what won me over. We had ordered vadai, masala dosa and idiapam with chicken curry. Vadai and dosa were crispy and delicious. We had asked them to make the chicken curry spicy and they had delivered, idiapam were also soft and tender. Please be aware, this place only accepts cash.

The food was good and very good service. The price was reasonable and the quantity was sufficient. Overall the taste was also good

Top class south Asian food! All you can eat for very cheap. Highly recommend!

Small and local place. Good tasty South Indian food. Staff is also nice, but busy. I would recommend this place to have South Indian food.

Authentic tamil style south indian food, taste is really home like. Only issue is that the wait is too long for your order and they don’t accept payment by card.

Exceptionally authentic Indian food. Nice, international audience.

Best South Indian tiffins in Frankfurt 😋

If you really want to eat authentic and spicy food, then it has to be at Ganesha on Niddastrasse. Nothing here is modified to suit European tastes...thankfully. For me the best restaurant

This place is amazing. I always go here for such a good value lunch with really tasty options and it's all you can eat. I then return for dinner and their Bryani might be the best meal there is in Frankfurt. It's incredible. Lovely people too! Highly recommend

Das Essen dort ist wie Medizin, großartig, lecker und große Portionen. Wir waren mit indischen Freunden dort am 1. Mai 2024.

Food is good, but behaviour of the people who serve food is not good. He is rude and misbehaves with customers. He would first delay the order and when you ask for you order. He will start shouting at you. Otherwise food is really nice and tasty. We have stopped going to Ganesha and opted Sarvana Bhawan just because of the rude behaviour and ill treatment by owner of this place. If you want to enjoy food but you can afford to ruin your mood then this place is suggested. If you want to enjoy food with keeping good mood, then don't visit this place

Price performance best Indian in the city!

I ordered masala dosa and Indian Tea.Both are to good so I recommend to try masala dosa.

Very friendly service and best products.

I just came from India. This is real South Indian food. Authentic!! It may take a little longer to get your order, but only because it is really freshly prepared. You just notice. The food was really hot. The Idli/Vada combination was really hot. The portions are large. Almost only locals.

The Dosas and the service were very good! Also prices are more than fair.

Though it’s difficult to find a place to sit in the evenings, it’s worth the wait .. amazing South Indian food with exact taste I would get in chennai ..

Good south Indian food..and Not expensive (Surely VFM) ! Limited tables and staff.. clean washroom, overall hygiene level is good. Best part is, they serve you freshly cooked food (like idly, dosa, Samosa etc). Have to wait on weekends for 30-45 mins. For snacking is good option ! Recommended - Dosa, Idly vada combo, Chicken dosa, Chicken Idly, Samosa, Vada Sambar

This restaurant was near to our hotel in Frankfurt which served our purpose to have an Indian food. It’s veg biryani was ultimate and cheap though. Will recommend to try this once.

Amazing food, amazing staff and service and amazing prices. I highly recommend!

Authentic south indian food. Really love their butter dosa. Chicken dosa is also very good

Worst experience I ever had in germany. I'm from tamil nadu. I was eagerly waiting to eat a good south indian food after long time. But all they gave me is disappointment. I have never been treated like the way they treated.Even I'm paying cash for the food. I'm not getting anything free of charge from them. Pure frustration. I will Never suggest this restaurant. Learn to treat customers well.

Compared to a well-known restaurant nearby, Ganesha Restaurant comes highly recommended for its quality South Indian cuisine.

Idiyappam and chicken curry takeaway... Very well packaged. Value for money in taste, quality and quantity 😀

If you a non vegetarian try chicken dosa ,never had a dosa like that, superb

If you want to have the proper masala Dosa like you have in South India, you have just been to the right place, they serve the proper dosa with Sambar.

Need to learn these guys respect first rather than preparing food. Food was good but, their ego dominated the taste of it

I recently visited an Indian restaurant and finally had the pleasure of savoring an authentic Masala Dosa after a long time. The taste transported me back to the streets of India with its perfect blend of spices and the crispy texture of the dosa.

Great, authentic south Indian/ Sri Lankan food. Good portions and reasonable price.

Very basic restaurant with just oily food.

Ein sehr kleines aber Original geführtes indisches Restaurant mit typisch südindischer Karte. Idli war super lecker. Preislich super gut.

Good & Tasty food. Price is also good. Best for Dosa, South India style cuisines 👌

Very delicious and authentic south Indian food. Idli-vada combo is good. Tea perfect. Chicken Biryani was nice. family run business , homely atmosphere and hospitable staff. Parking a bit tough since its very near to Bahnhof. Best bet is park in skyline plaza and walk for 5 minutes. Definitely going to visit again. Thanks!

Kleiner Geheimtipp. Das Essen war super, der Service sehr freundlich.

Chicken curry was excellent. Ask them to make real Indian spicy and they'll create magic. Loved it!

This south indian restaurant was nearby to our hotel, while I wouldn't label it as the absolute best, it certainly offered some good options. Our order included biryani, which, unfortunately, didn't meet our expectations. Though the rice was fragrant and flavorful, the meat wasn't cooked to perfection. On a brighter note, we also tried the idli vada with sambar and chutney, and I must say, the sambar and chutney was very good. The idli was soft and well-prepared, and I loved the vada. Upon request, they also give you extra sambar chutney at no additional cost. The price was reasonable as well. The mango lassi was the best though! If you're a fan of Indian snacks, this place offers a good variety. One thing to note is that they only accept cash; cards are not accepted. So, it's advisable to keep this in mind when you visit.

Most authentic South Indian food in Frankfurt

Amazing little place in the heart of Frankfurt. Authentic and simple

Vegetarian South Indian food is authentic. It’s only one of the few restaurants in Frankfurt that serve South Indian food. Taste is authentic. Wait time is more due to limited staff.

Truly Indian joint for a quick bite and best all-you-can-eat lunch. Excellent value. Delicious curries.

Ein Inder, den man sich trauen muss. Wird aber mit herzlich authentischem Essen belohnt. Es sind deutlich mehr Inder im Restaurant als Westler. Und das merkt man auch bei der Küche. Die ist definitiv nicht eingedeutscht. Selbst das schäbiges Interieur passt einfach zu dem Laden. Ich komme sehr gern wieder. Achtung: nur abends a la Carte, soweit ich weiß. Mittags nur ein kleines Buffet.

Sehr nettes Lokal und leckeres Essen 🙏😁 Achtung, man muss ausreichend Zeit mitbringen, es lohnt sich aber 😉 Highlight des Abends - Lahm Gericht und Indischer Tee ❤️ Danke und bis zum nächsten Mal 🙏🇺🇦🇨🇳😊

Very tasty, authentic Masala dosas, idly... South Indian. Will come again.

Authentic South Indian food. The prices are very fair.

I was in Frankfurt for a few hours before heading out, and came across this place about 10 mins walk from the train station. Amazing food, best sambhar and Rasam. Had a Vegetarian Thali, got an extra serving of rice and sambhar for no extra charge. If you want to eat good South Indian food in Frankfurt this is a place to try and the owners were really sweet.

Family owned & run, lovely sweet people. Very tasty food, properly priced, good portion. Place to visit again and again. Much much better in comparison to Indian south indian restaurant chains that are turning into worst places to have nice food.

Nice idly and sambar vada. Cheap and best south indian style home food run by a single tamil family

It was good as they are the only place in Frankfurt serving " iddiappam ", so we went there. But order idiappam with chicken and not chana, as they don't have kala chana. Apart from this, the kutto parotha was delicious and quantity was good. The quality and quantity was good compared. Worth the money!!

Best place for south Indian food around Frankfurt. We tried other restaurants in Frankfurt city. This is the only place we got proper South Indian idly vada sambar. Their sambar taste is as good as home food.

One of the very best Tamil restaurant in Frankfurt which serves authentic tamil foods. Staff : Fantastic people, spoke very kindly. Food : Fantastic quality and quantity too. Their Idly & Vadai combo is the best economically and gastronomically. Atmosphere: You can dine inside their restaurant or can sit outside, since we visited in peak summer, we sat outside, it was calm and good.

Indian and srilankan food, authentic and spicy dishes. Good portion for the price. Mutton roll is a must try. Service is slow. We waited for hours.

Superb idli and vada. Slow service but worth the wait

Food is good, authentic south Indian taste but the service is very bad. Rude attitude and very late to respond. Turned to be one of the worst experiences in Frankfurt.

Super leckeres Essen und so authentisch wie wir es aus Sri Lanka kennen. Wir haben Kothu Rotti mit Lamm, Iddiyappam mit Lamm (scharf bestellt - war auch sehr scharf!), Butter Dosai (lecker knusprig) und Idli (6 Stück!) mit Hähnchen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und original. Fleisch konnnte mal ein wenig nachsalzen, aber das ist Geschmackssache - das haben nicht alle am Tisch gemacht. Sehr freundlicher Service der älteren Dame. Das Restaurant hat eine Atmosphäre wie im Imbiss, aber das Essen macht alles wett! Wir kommen sicherlich wieder. Der beste Sri Lanker weit und breit! Sie sprechen tamilisch! Das nächste Mal probieren wir Puddu, die Vorspeisen (z. B. Lamm Rolls).....evtl. All you can eat für 9,50€ mittags mit zwei Sorten Reis und diversen Beilagen veg und non-veg. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! Die Portionen sind sehr groß!

Nach drei Versuchen, endlich die berühmten Idli und Dosai im Bahnhofsviertel zu probieren (geschlossen/Urlaub/Betriebsferien) nun also das böse Erwachen: Das Ganesha Restaurant scheint für immer seine Türen geschlossen zu haben (abmontiertes Türschild, fehlende Inneneinrichtung). Da es keine Website gibt/gab, blieb uns nichts anderes übrig, als mehrfach persönlich dort vorbeizuschauen. Schade, schade.... - Die Trauer war groß, bis wir im Saravanaa Bhavan in der Kaiserstraße einen absolut würdigen Ersatz fanden, das ebenfalls südindische Küche, aber leider kein Buffet anbietet. Das wiederum gibt es im Anjapar Chettinad ein paar Häuser weiter.

Wir sind wegen der überwiegend guten Bewertungen im „Ganesha“ gewesen - bzw. Beim ersten Versuch gar nicht zum Essen gekommen, weil es voll besetzt war (nicht unbedingt das schlechteste Zeichen). Beim zweiten Mal hat‘s geklappt. Fazit: wer auf Äußerlichkeiten keinen großen Wert legt (Imbissatmosphäre), aber dafür gutes indisches Essen mag, ist hier richtig. Soweit wir das nach unseren Indienaufenthalten beurteilen können, ist das Essen (vorwiegend südindisch) authentisch, sehr schmackhaft und wird auch gerne in Thali-Blechschalen serviert. Gerne wieder.

昼に立ち寄ったことしかないのですが、ランチタイムはインド料理のビュッフェをやっています。簡素な構えのお店に寡黙な雰囲気の主人で、気軽に立ち寄りやすい雰囲気です。ビュッフェなので、時間が無い時に手軽に満腹になることができます。 味は可もなく不可もなしといったところ。2022年11月現在でランチビュッフェ8.5ユーロでした。
