Recently travelled from where we were staying in Westward Ho to Barnstaple for a nice evening meal. Booked with Ganges as they clearly label which dishes are suitable for vegans, which is refreshing! There was plenty of choice and the waiter clarified with us which of our rices were to be vegan. I had roti instead of naan bread. Would recommend to fellow vegans!
There was a little wait as they are fairly new BUT definitely worth waiting for. The food was absolutely lush. Completely different menu to an 'expected' menu. Everything sounded delicious. Traditional Indian Street food. I recommend the Roadside Dahl to accompany as this is one of the nicest foods I've ever tasted! Good luck. We will be back
Ordered a takeaway last night from the new menu and was advised to try a new dish (The Railway Lamb!). So something new to try and with two children eating too I was worried about trying something new. I can honestly say, it was the best Indian I've had in years. The lamb was out of this world - not like the mutton which seems to be cooked up everywhere else. The kids had a Chicken Korma and the chicken was in huge soft pieces. Everything we had was amazing - the only downside was that it was too much for the three of us. So today we get to have it all over again for dinner!!! I would really recommend it. It's not your usual Indian but it's better for being that!.
Stunning food and fantastic service. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
Food here is absolutely delicious. Glad we listened to local recommendations before visiting. Would definately recommended.
We had large poppadoms and chutney tray. Bombay lamb, very tender mouth watering lamb with a kick. Chicken korma, delicious. Peshwari naan yum. xx
What a fantastic place! Went with my friends and children, tried loads of dishes, all fantastic, the Railway lamb melted in my mouth, the chicken korma was the best korma I've ever had, and my youngest who is not a fish lover absolutely loved the fish bites. I also had the Stilton nan which I've not seen anywhere else and it didn't disappoint. Very happy to recommend, service is quick too, you won't be disappointed!
Food superb, staff great and well priced
I've eaten at the Ganges for years and every time, the food has been incredible. I visited with my friends last weekend and our server was very friendly. We all had a good laugh with him too! Food was fantastic as always. They have lots of clearly marked vegan options, so if you're meat free, you'll be spoilt for choice. Highly recommended ordering/visiting!
Food was full of taste and fresh. Went for a butter chicken and punjabi railway lamb. Lamb was succulent! Chilli chips were also pretty good. Great service by the team, clean interior and good ambience inside.
This is a fantastic Indian restaurant serving a great selection of dishes with a great vegetarian choice.
The menu is actually authentic food from India rather than than the Bengali inspired curry houses around the UK
Highly recommended
Tonight's dinner at The Ganges was a treat. Love the food and the variety in herbes and styles of the different dishes. My Punjab Railway Lamb curry was great as was my wife's Chicken Saag.
What a fantastic surprise one of the best indian meals i've had in a long time and that's saying something. Every freshly made dish you could taste the spicing this is not your typical anglo-indian restaurant. If in the area give it a try I know I will be back when I next visit Devon.
Not a local and in the area on business so eating alone. Staff friendly and helpful with ordering. I was fascinated by the idea of stilton nan but couldn't order that much for one. I had chicken that was not to hot and a little sweet, taka Dahl, rice and popadoms. All very good and very tasty. I would agree that tha mango chutney was like sweet gloop but the rest was very tasty.
I came on on the strength of Google reviews and there was a steady stream of takeaways and eat in.
We got 2 takeaways during our weeks holiday. Collected it. About £90 for 8 of us so not bad.
Excellent little Indian restaurant which is vegan and vegetarian friendly. Staff very polite. Food was good and served quickly. The owner was very friendly. I would recommend this place. This restaurant also does takeaways! Reasonably priced and good portion sizes.
Excellent....very good. Friendly, welcoming staff. Very good food from varied menu. Much enjoyed. Definitely recommended
Lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Food across the menu is delicious and the take aways are just as good.
If you’re stuck for something to try;
The lamb railroad curry is to die for. Not spicy.
Tandoori tiger prawns are amazing and the tandoori Afghani chicken is delliccious.
Plus the chicken wings are always spot on.
Share a rice and a naan bread and you’re away 💕
Slowly making my way through the equally delicious Hindu menu.
Definitely recommend the Ganges.
First visit to The Ganges today, heard good things and wasn't disappointed! Very good staff, super polite and helpful! Food was amazing, simply amazing. The restaurant is well decorated and feels modern and also traditional. Visit!!!
Wow what can I say by far the best Indian in North Devon by a clear mile. It’s so good here I do a 45min round trip to pick it up. Staff are really good very punctual with their timings. Couldn’t recommend enough.
The best Indian I have been to in a long time. Everything was fresh and flavourful right down to the chutneys. Wonderful unique dishes that you won't find anywhere else. Cannot recommend highly enough. Beth working front of house attentive and genuine. We will be back many many times in the future.
Very nice atmosphere and lovely food worth every penny 😋.
