Indian Restaurant Ganesha in Regensburg

The food was incredibly delicious – truly authentic and with wonderful spices! 😋 The service was also super friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back – highly recommended!

I just ordered through Lieferando, it's a lot of food, but the chicken is raw inside, when you eat in a restaurant it's always been delicious and everything was perfect

I happened to eat here while strolling, and both the vegan dishes and the lamb were delicious. The service was also friendly and attentive. 6/5 stars. I'd happily return :)

It was delicious. We got soup and chai on the house, and the service was also very friendly.

Delicious and incredibly friendly service

Since this restaurant was close to our hotel, we stopped in spontaneously. It was a great decision. The ambiance is perfect, the waiters are friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The food is incredibly delicious and served in no time. We not only give it 5 stars, but also 5 hearts.

Absolutely delicious, great lunch buffet at a reasonable price.

I recently spent two weeks in Regensburg, Germany, and during my stay I had the pleasure of dining at Ganesha Restaurant multiple times. Each visit was an absolutely delightful experience! The staff are exceptionally polite, warm, and welcoming. They make you feel right at home the moment you step in. The food is simply outstanding, with a wide variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options to choose from. I personally tried several chicken and paneer dishes, all of which were flavorful, authentic, and freshly prepared. The buffet is also impressive, offering an excellent range of dishes to satisfy every palate. What I particularly loved is their thoughtful touches – complimentary soup to start with, and a refreshing cup of tea at the end of the meal, which makes the whole dining experience even more memorable. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and generous portions. If you are in Regensburg and looking for delicious Indian food with a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Ganesha Restaurant. It’s a place you’ll want to visit more than once!

Bad customer service. Waited 30 minutes to pay my bill.

I would like to warn all review readers of this place that is nothing a money making scheme to cheat people. There are three different buffet prices, and the staff is dishonest and want to cheat you off. The advertising is false. The food is far from having any authentic taste. Purely set up to cheat indian tourists and please white palletes. I would strongly hope you spend your money elsewhere.

I like veg biryani making chef balwant singh very nice thank you and service so good 👍

The food was well prepared and taste so good, the ambience was good, the working staffs were good, when I ate the food it bring back memories of my hom town. It is worth every penny.

It’s a scam. Menu was saying all you can eat for 8.90, but they charged us 17.90.

Very nice buffet especially for vegetarians

Very good ambiance. Friendly staff and Swadisht food ❤️

After the Ganesha team's response to my last review, I wanted to give it a fair second chance. But this visit showed me: it's no good anymore. I ordered a butter chicken – what I got was a few pieces of chicken in red water, completely flavorless. When I complained about this, all I got was the answer: "Unfortunately, it is what it is – eat or pay and leave." That's not how you speak to guests, especially not to people who have been dining here regularly for many years. In their response, the owners write that they have been running this restaurant alone for 22 years. However, anyone who has known Ganesha since 2005 knows that this isn't true and that other people were involved in the past who made the place what it once was. Those very people are no longer there – and since then, Ganesha has only gone downhill. The many bad reviews are not unfounded: Anyone who remembers the restaurant from the old days will immediately recognize how much quality, taste, and hospitality have been lost. For me this was definitely the last visit.

Worst restaurant in Regensburg. The customer service is extremely bad, they make you feel so unwelcome and unwanted. We had ordered butter chicken, naan, chicken biryani. There was hardly any flavor and it was just too greasy and sweet. Don't recommend this to anyone. Please change your service staff or at least teach them how to behave with customers.

The food is quite good, especially the cholle bhature. They’re also thoughtful when it comes to spice preferences, offering extra curry to adjust the heat level. However, there’s a noticeable difference in taste between lunch and dinner lunch tends to be less flavorful compared to dinner. This might be due to different cooks, but consistency is key for any restaurant. While it’s a personal choice, calling the food “healthy” might be a stretch, I experienced a noticeable sugar spike after eating. That said, it’s still better than many other places in Regensburg.

Went here because I got a chicken mango craving, already tried out this restaurant in Nürnberg and loved it. They gave me a chai latte on the Haus, it was delicious ! 🥰

A very pleasant atmosphere. The service was excellent. But most importantly, the food was very, very good. Starters and main courses were hot and very tasty. Our requests were friendly and fulfilled. A perfect dinner.

Whenever I'm in Regensburg, I go to Ganesha. A visit two years ago wasn't so special, but otherwise everything was simply fantastic! Yesterday we felt like beloved guests again, had a great meal, and laughed a lot. Thank you for that 🥰

Butter chicken is my favorite Indian dish, so I can usually tell when it’s well-made — and when it’s not. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst I’ve ever had. It was sour, almost as if it had spoiled. The rest of the dishes ordered by our group of seven were overly salty and underwhelming. To make matters worse, when we asked to pack the leftovers, the staff handed us cheap aluminum containers and told us, quite bluntly, that we’d need to pay €1 per box — which felt unnecessary and frankly embarrassing. The service was also disappointing. The waiter wouldn’t even place the food on the table — instead, he passed the dishes for us to set down ourselves. At the end of the meal, he interrupted our conversation and asked us to hand him the dirty plates. Needless to say, we won’t be coming back.

I am writing to formally complain about a very disappointing and disrespectful experience I had with your delivery service and staff. When the delivery person called me, I simply asked him to come to the doorstep as usual. He rudely responded that he was not allowed to do so. I assured him I would open the door, but instead of cooperating, he began to argue with me, saying he had “lots of orders” and continued speaking in a disrespectful tone. What made this situation even worse was his attitude — I felt that I was not being treated properly, possibly because I am also Indian, and he took me for granted. He even claimed he was from Ganesha Restaurant itself. When I called the restaurant to inform about this issue, the person who answered the phone also spoke in an unfriendly tone. I explained the situation, and he simply said, “I just came right now, I don’t know anything.” This was around 11 Pm so I was surprised — how could he not know what’s happening if he’s handling the phone for the restaurant? Even when I explained how poorly the delivery person behaved, the staff member responded rudely again and asked me what he should do with the delivery guy. That is not my responsibility — my only role was to inform you about the mistreatment. His tone and attitude were again very unprofessional and disrespectful. This entire experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting. I did not expect such poor treatment from both the delivery person and the restaurant team. I am requesting a sincere apology for the rude and unprofessional behaviour shown by both the delivery person and the restaurant staff. I hope appropriate steps are taken to ensure this kind of behaviour does not happen again.

Ganesha was accidental find for us,food was amazing and atmosphere was top notch.Would come again if in Regensburg area.

I’ve been eating at Ganesha in Regensburg occasionally for a while—either dining in or ordering online once a month. While the food is generally good and been there multiple times with friends, I’ve had multiple hygiene issues during dine-in visits. On three different occasions, I found hair in my food, specifically in the vegetable paratha (not every time, but it has happened too often to ignore). The first time, I let it go. The second time raised concerns. Today was the third—and what made it worse was the staff’s casual reaction. One of them just said, “It’s not my hair,” even though I hadn’t accused anyone. There was no apology or concern, though they did remove the item from the bill. I’m writing this now because this seems to be a recurring issue, and it feels like hygiene is not taken seriously. I hope the restaurant addresses this properly going forward.

We went to this restaurant on Sunday. They had a buffet on that day. The buffet offered several varieties of food including desi Chinese like manchurian, hakka noodles etc. Also the waiter was asking us every 10 minutes whether we need something. The Batura was awesome. It also had a large variety of vegetarian options even if a vegetarian wants to try buffet. It is worth it. They also offer complimentary foods like tea, soup and kheer. Also all the foods which should be spicy were not sweet as per Indian taste which is rare in foreign Indian restaurant .To conclude, Highly worth it and the taste was also too awesome with great service. Will be visiting again and again.

Best indian restaurant in Regensburg.

I had Chicken Jalfrezi on my first day here in Regensburg and then the following day I had Bindi Masala. Both were delicious and a good portion. They even asked me how spicy I wanted it to be which I thought it’s thoughtful. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Amazing price for lunch. A large bowl of soup and a drink for €10. With such friendly service, it was a wonderful experience. Oh, I saw the guests serving huge portions that could easily feed two people. To finish, they served a cup of tea that tasted like nothing I'd ever tasted before. A wonderful experience. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

We've been to several Indian restaurants, and this one is one of the best. The food was delicious, especially the garlic naan. Highly recommended, we'd love to come back.

We were at Ganesha on Monday evening and were very impressed. We often go out for Indian food, previously at other restaurants, and now, thanks to the voucher in the voucher book, we wanted to give Ganesha a try. We've only heard good things about it, and this was fully confirmed. Since some of us are vegetarians, we were curious to see what the selection of vegetarian dishes would be like. We were very pleasantly surprised in this regard, too, as they offer a wide variety. We ordered a Dal Makhni and a Butter Chicken, both served with the typical delicious rice. A garlic naan was also a must. And, above all, we have to say: this one is the best we've ever eaten. As a welcome gift from the kitchen (therefore free), they even brought a delicious soup as a starter, as well as a hot drink after the meal. As for the service, everyone was very friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks were brought very quickly. We would be happy to come back!

The food was very unhealthy and untasty .The behavior of the people are very terrific and they did not mention they take only cash and they arguing with that and starting to use bad words .i won’t recommend this type of restaurant

service is good! butter chicken and briyani was delicious 👍🏻 gave chai tea on the house

Das Essen war hervorragend, wir hatten beide Paneer, in Curry bzw. in Spinat Koriander. Der Reis war toll, Mango Lassi super lecker. Ganz, ganz netter Service. Es gab einen Gruß aus der Küche vorweg und einem Chai hinterher aufs Haus. Wir essen sehr oft indisch und das Essen aber auch der Service waren wirklich aussergewöhnlich.

Super delicious food. Large portions and good prices.

The chef is truly an artist. The food melts in your mouth. I especially recommend the Ganesha Thali; you can customize it to your liking.

A very good Indian restaurant with nice outdoor seating. The food is really delicious, and the lunch menu is available until 5 p.m.

so so delicious Indian food!! and the service was also excellent :)

I went there for dinner with 6 boys. We were greeted very friendly. The food was served quickly and everyone enjoyed it excellently. There was butter chicken with homemade flatbreads and pulao rice. Served in matching silver bowls. There is a large selection of food and we found the prices to be reasonable. We would love to come back

Was soll ich sagen? Es war einfach nur super. Die Wirtsleute waren sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Und dann das Essen, eine wahre Gaumenfreude. Ich habe selten so ein dermaßen gutes Butter Chicken vorgesetzt bekommen. Ein echte Gedicht. Dazu der hausgemachte Fladen. Total lecker. Wir durften auch noch echt indische Schärfe verkosten. Doch das war nichts für uns, aber gut erfahren zu haben, was indische Schärfe bedeutet. Ich empfehle das Ganesha uneingeschränkt weiter und komme sehr gerne wieder. Danke für alles.

Very polite and courteous staff. Eaten number 512 lamb with tomatoes, onions, yogurt, very tasty. Lunch menu, there is salad or soup for free. Highly recommended and generous, Ganesha lives up to her name. Thanks :)

Das Restaurant war mir eher zufällig aufgefallen. Als ich mich in meinem Hotel nach dem Restaurant erkundigte, wurde es mir sehr empfohlen. Die Entscheidung dort zu essen war sehr gut. Das Ambiente und die Einrichtung empfand ich als sehr schön und sehr ansprechend. Im Restaurant gibt es u.a. eine sehr schöne Ganesha-Statue, die ich auf Nachfrage auch fotografieren durfte. Das Personal war freundlich. Ich musste nicht warten um meine Bestellung zu machen. Als ich Fragen bzgl. der Gerichte hatte, wurden diese freundlich und ausführlich beantwortet. Das Essen - Vorspeise und Hauptgang - waren sehr lecker und reichlich. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war sehr gut. Für mich war das Essen im Ganesha in Regensburg ein echtes Highlight. Wenn ich das nächste Mal nach Regensburg komme, werde ich sicher wieder dort essen.

The food was very tasty, vegetarian dishes are also possible as vegan. The staff is very attentive.

Due to the massive delay in the train, I went to Ganesha relatively late because it is directly opposite the hotel and I had already read very good reviews, especially from students, in preparation. The food was really great, the service was very quick and very nice despite the late hour. I also like the lack of all the exaggerated kitsch that Germans expect in a restaurant. If I end up in Regensburg again, I'll definitely go there again. Thanks for the good food, there were lamb steaks grilled over a wood fire.

The toilet smells "beautiful"... And the smell travels all the way to the tables in the front part of the restaurant 🤢 food is also not good - dishes have nothing to do with an authentic, aromatic Indian curries. Pluses - they offer a little soup as you wait for the main dishes, that was kind and also tasty. Otherwise I do not recommend this place if you're looking for a genuine Indian cuisine

Very delicious food and friendly staff! They also provided excellent service with an Indian food buffet at a relatively large event (ca. 40 people). Fantastic!

The food was very plentiful and very tasty. The staff is attentive and friendly

In Regensburg I have already eaten in all the Indian restaurants in the city center. I like it best in Ganesha. Each dish has its own flavor, is freshly prepared and individually seasoned. You also get as much rice as you want and a chai tea on the house after your meal. I'd love to come back. The buffet on Sunday is very varied with constantly changing dishes.

I have worst biriyani in my life in that restaurant.It was not at all biriyani.very disappointed.Neither my other friends like their food over their.

Tried their masala chole with rice, the food was tasty. This is probably the best Indian restaurant in Regensburg. Only problem is the wait time is long!

The staff is very rude and the foods are also not very good.

All the waiters were rude, one of them sounded aggressive. Foods were medium.

Very tasty food. Very friendly and you sit comfortably. Highly recommended.

Geschmacklich sehr leckeres indisches Essen inkl. freundlicher und aufmerksamer Bedienung. Ein rundum gelungener Abend

Leckeres Essen in schönem Ambiente. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Portionen üppig. Es gab eine Suppe aufs Haus und einen Chai nach dem Essen ebenfalls aufs Haus.

This place looks beautiful. Have tasty food and amazing service too. I’d love to come back here. This restaurant is approved 👍

Based on Google review. Ambience looks nice, service is good But unfortunately the food is geared to German tastes. Too salty, not spicy, even though the dish says spicy, no Indian herbs. Very unfortunate We have eaten at an Indian restaurant before on holidays and it was always delicious, this one is not one of them

The meal (chicken vindaloo with garlic naan) was ready quickly and delicious. Unfortunately the waiter doesn't know the prices and just charges something.

A fantastic Indian restaurant, well located - 5mn walk from the main station - The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the boss and staff are very friendly and the prices are right. You always get little extras free of charge (especially the delicious Indian tea with spices). Clearly recommended!

Tasteless, it just stinks in this restaurant.

The food was spicy and delicious, and soup was served, which was also very good. We will definitely come again :)

Today we had dinner in the restaurant with 5 people. Personally, I enjoyed the food even if it was a bit cold. The waiter and boss were all very nice, courteous and friendly.

We warn you on Sunday at the lunch buffet. The food was very good but unfortunately a bit cold

JUST ONE WORD F A N T A S T I S H !!! The food was very, very good, The portions are XL large, It was also quite full at lunchtime but the service still fulfilled all my special wishes. Very happy & can really recommend #508 kashmir chicken & garlic naan bread❤️ best friends

The people are very bad, when you give feedback to improve they start arguing with you saying other guests didn't have a problem and that it's only your problem. Full story: when you order curry, they usually have this round pot with no handle to serve curry, and I wanted to pick it up to pour the last bits. But it was placed on top of a candle lit stand and when I picked the pot one of my fingers accidentally touched the bottom of the pot and it burnt severely. I told them it's better to have a pot that has a handle so that we don't accidentally get hurt. A normal restaurant owner would react by saying sorry for the mishap and take the feedback constructively. But these people were very rude, they didn't even say sorry for what happened, they started to argue with me that it is only my problem and no other guests have an issue, further they added that I am young and I shouldn't have a big problem if I get a small burn, and the chef started showing a very demeaning attitude. I have never seen such behavior shown to customers before. I think there is a good chance they are racist, they would have totally bent down to say sorry if they heard the same thing from a white man. People like this should be taken into legal action for such bad treatment to customers and mistakes in service.

Das Restaurant war sehr anstrengend. Die Bedienung war schnell und sehr freundlich. Meine Bestellung entsprach voll und ganz meinen Erwartungen und zuvor geäußerten Wünschen. Der Preis war für die erbrachte Leistung niedriger als ich es erwartet hätte.

Four of us were there on a Sunday evening and were pleasantly surprised! Soup and Nan on the house and after dinner Cai on the house too. All starters and main courses ordered were excellent, and the hot, warm sauce we ordered was also free. Spicy is actually spicy here, the service is Indian, the toilets too! ;-)

The food was very yummy, with good portions and Kuldip our waiter provided great service. They also have great lunch time deals for students. Will definitely visit again.

Served by Kuldip and the food was great. Got the kashmiri lamb dish and enjoyed the spiciness. 👍

Great food, we loved our meal. Kuldip's service was fast and very friendly.

Great place! I had tea and samosa on a cold evening. The service was great. Got my tea and samosa in 10 minutes and the samosa. Samosa tasted really good.

Food was delicious, but not recommended for pickup (wrong order at first, so 20 minute waiting time on site and price higher than advertised online). Oh well.

Never again! , the food was underground! The chicken wasn't cooked through! There is hair too.

Saw the restaurant when walking around the central pedestrian walkway, decided to walk in. The staff were super nice and the recommendations also were very good. The rates are reasonable and the meal is wallet friendly. Their Indian bread is light and tasted great. This is saying something because we come from India. Their complimentary chai at the end of the meal hit the spot with its authentic Indian flavours. We wish you all the very best.

The people receive very well and greet with smile and have an empathetic inclination for the customer- the best part . Food overall is OK Ok , but they give complementary Masala chai after the food and Soup of the day before the food - second best part. But there was a foul smell towards the interior of the restaurant as a result we had preference of dining towards the entrance of the restaurant.

Ganesha offers authentic flavors that truly hit the spot. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it a perfect place to enjoy a meal. All Indian dishes are prepared with care and tastes like a warm hug from home. If you're looking for authentic Indian food, look no further!

I had lam curry with basmari rice and a garlic bread for dessert with mangolassi and it was very good

Just had a drink. Very friendly staff. We'll be happy to come back on our next visit to Regensburg :-)

Everything about the restaurant is good:food ,atmosphere,especially the customer service

Food and services both are very good.

I came to Germany last month. Then I was happy to see the Indian restaurant in the high street. We immediately went in and ordered a few dishes to eat. Later I realized that the food they prepare is of very poor quality and tastes completely different from Indian food. It is tantamount to making money by defrauding the locals who live there and have food in this restaurant. It is a huge mistake to run a restaurant in the name of a Hindu God and cheat others to survive. Please have the German food hygiene department inspect this restaurant and take appropriate action. After eating we had tea. I have never tasted such a disgusting tea in my life. Even our domestic animals in India will not drink it. Service was very rude and arrogant manners. Please locals beaware of this restaurant. NEVER AGAIN TO THIS RESTAURANT

I can highly recommend the place! Service good, food excellent, staff very friendly...

This is one of the best Indian cuisine restaurants in Germany. The location is great and the staff was really polite and helpful. The portion of the food was good and taste was authentic too. The vibe was good, and the decor gives proper Indian feel. Washrooms were clean. Overall we loved there.

Excellent Service and Fabulous Food

Complete disaster!!! I ordered a delicious looking dish and this is what I got! Catfishing on a different level and paid €16.90 for it... taste really subterranean

I like to eat Indian food because it is so varied and delicious. I have eaten Indian food in many cities but this restaurant is my absolute favorite so far.

The staff was awsome n food was great

The restaurant seems a little old-fashioned. Today I had "Flying Chicken" in BBQ sauce with potatoes. The taste was good, it was just a bit of a hassle because the meat was still on the bone and the sauce meant you couldn't remove it by hand. The staff was very friendly. At lunch there was also a soup or side salad

Ordered channa masala on a Sunday, it didn't taste good at all. Plus it wasn't fresh, as you can see in the picture. Those were definitely leftovers from the Sunday buffet... The quality here has deteriorated a lot. The food used to be fresh, very tasty and sufficient. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case for a few months now...which is a shame! I won't order anything here again!

Excellent food with consistent quality for many years.

The staff was extremely unprofessional they just kept making weird faces whenever i wanted to order and also when I asked for the bill. The food was also not that exceptional, to be honest the garlic naan that I ordered seemed and tasted like the frozen naans available at every Indian store. For the food quality, service and the atmosphere this place is absolutely overpriced. JUST AVOID!

this restaurant they don't even deserve one star. I didn't know Indian people they gonna be this much racist. but they forgot they are also black I was being there with my son's i have ordered small dish so that we can get quick we don't have also that much hunger well we are waiting there is some other guest that arrive the give for those people they are meal from starter to main dish not only one Tablet there was three tables our food is not arrived so I decide to tell them what is going on they say they're going to bring it now they bring the soup but the soup it was not made the same day it's smailing🤮and I tried it I didn't know after i told them what they did is not good i think they are thinking my son is going to eat that thy don't know it is me anyways I pay my bill and I came out without eating the foods even my son he didn't touch his chicken wings so I don't suggest for anyone.this Restaurant well I'm writing this review and my stomachs I feel pain It's disgusting.

cozy Indian restaurant, beautiful, decoration, not too overloaded. I didn't have much, so I thought it was nice that you could just order a lentil soup with naan. The soup tasted the same as I had it a few months ago in northern India. Likewise the chai - exactly the taste that it often had in India. The service was friendly, always available, unobtrusive.

I honestly think they write their own reviews. Sub-standard cold food.

We ordered a mixed grill platter and shahi baigan. Incredibly delicious! We have tried all Indian restaurants in Regensburg and none are nearly as good as Ganesha! The portions at Ganesha are large, there is always extra rice and the quality and taste of meat is most important. And you can taste that with Ganesha. Mixed Grill platter is huge and easily enough for 2 people! Shahi Baiga is simply a dream. Everywhere else the mixed grill is small and meat doesn't taste high at other places, I'll be honest. Thank you Ganesha.

Good things first: the atmosphere is cozy, except that sometimes there is a smell of toilet. Service was unfriendly, you can't use naan instead of rice, on the grounds that the cooks don't understand that. Food packaging is charged extra and must be packed yourself. food is really not good, doesn't taste like much, is watery & sour. Here the money is in the foreground, you feel like you are in mass processing. Only cash payment possible because the card machine is supposedly broken. We're not coming anymore, I would also advise against it 😄

Unfortunately, the food was slapped down to us rather unfriendly than served in a friendly manner. The food was quite good.

Very good food and friendly service. Always happy again

We had the Sunday buffet on recommendation of friends and we really enjoyed it. Very tasty food, great amount of variety and very kind staff.

Really delicious and really lovely staff!! Always my pleasure!
