Authentic Indian Restaurant in Bristol

A Delightful Opening Memories

When Ganesha opened its doors on Bedminster Parade in March 2008, there were probably a few raised eyebrows. A small, 30-cover restaurant serving authentic food from Southern India in the shadows of Bedminster Asda, it must have been a gamble for owners Mayur Renukdas and his wife. The couple had never run a restaurant before and were keeping down full-time day jobs when they weren’t putting in some serious hours in the restaurant.

Welcome to Ganesha Indian Restaurant

Bedminster Parade is a beguiling mix of art galleries, restaurants and car accessory stores just south of the river. As befits this unusual set of bedfellows, Ganesha is a far from a standard, common-or-garden Indian restaurant. It's a family-run venture offering authentic Indian cuisine from all corners of the subcontinent via a menu that’s a million miles away from your average curry house.

Nine years on, and it's still going strong; not only surviving a recession, but doubling in size! Mayur and his wife hail from Pune, which is one of the most popular Indian cities. Both are very keen to point out that the food they specialise in is very different from the standard bog style of cooking found in the most common Bangladeshi or Pakistani restaurants.

Inside, the decor has some exquisite drapery boasting of colourful silk saris and twinkling fairy lights. The pillars inside have been painted chocolate brown and have also been decorated with silk ribbons. The brown leather banquettes makes for a more intimate dining experience; while feeling spacious and airy at the same time. The old white walls are now a warm coffee colour with Indian prints and instruments on shelves. Overall combined with the lighting, it makes for a striking ambience.

The Menu with Indian Roots

The menu remains true to its Indian roots without too much compromise to the more Anglicized Indian restaurant dishes. There is an abundance of fish, seafood, lamb, ginger, coconut and Goan spices used in the food, which tends to be milder and more aromatic than the usual balti house fare.
