    Amazing Food, and such a soothing environment and positive energy inside restaurant. We got a very warm welcome in our first visit and can never forget this place in future to visit & take my friends. They have a small temple in the entrance 🙏🏻 it will make you stop for a minute for sure. Also you will enjoy the Bollywood theme in the restaurant. If you are looking for a Good Positive vibe with great food, this is the best place to eat.

    The place is really nicely done. Pretty calm and relaxing. The menu is very well curated unlike other indian food joints/restaurants. The quality and taste, both are excellent. The guy who runs the place might be the most polite and helpful person in Milan! A must go!!

    The oldest Indian restaurant in Milan offers succulent meat and veggie currys, rich and creamy. The menu also includes a selection of fragrant Indian street food. The house offers complimentary poppadoms and dipping sauces (yoghurt, chilli and honey) before the meal, and digestive seeds at the end. Last night we shared the mixed starter and two lamb currys, one extra spicy, the other in coconut and cashew sauce. Vegetarian options are delicious too and include (but aren't limited to) chickpea, aubergine, and paneer curry. Good choice of bread, this time around I had some cheese naan but I also recommend their stuffed paratha. They also have a good wine selection and Indian beers, yoghurt drinks and chai. Overall, we spent €30 per person (party of 2), including 1lt red house wine. At the entrance, visitors are welcomed by an eye-catching shrine containing Ganesha, who is always covered in fresh flower garlands and other offerings. Incense and candles are always burning and diffuse the environment with a delicate scent, which doesn't disturb the meal at all. The main room sits in dim light and is nicely decorated - I really like the combination of mid XX century Indian posters, Ganesha icons and Indian furniture. While I've always dined inside before, last night we chose a table on the pavement outside: as the street is quiet, it's lovely to have the option Staff are polite, service is professional and efficient. The owner in his immacolate white tunic is always around, greeting people and supporting table service. Shri Ganesh is a favourite of mine, a local gem and a great spot for currys - most probably the best Indian food you can get in Milan.

    In this small family-run restaurant you will feel like you are actually sitting at a Jaipur table enjoying the wonders of hot and spicy cuisine. The butter chicken and their Naan are incredible, they are addictive. The desserts are light and balanced for a light end to a meal. Adequate portions, kind and extremely helpful staff, romantic atmosphere with enveloping aromas. If that wasn't enough, the bill also makes you want to come back as soon as possible. I usually photograph everything but hunger and the tempting dishes didn't allow me to do so this time. Top experience compliments to the restaurateurs

    Sri Ganesh offers the best Indian food in a very prime location. The place has a very cozy and modern atmosphere unlike other Indian restaurants I’ve visited. Recommend trying the Rogan Josh

    A really nice place in Milan to enjoy delicious Indian food. We ordered Veg. Curries (Malai Kofta, Baigan Bharta and Aaloo Palak) with Roti and Basmati Rice with Dal. All the dishes are prepared very quickly and food was amazing. This is place I felt like I am at home because of the Ambiance and Taste of food. Owner and Staff were amazing. :) Definitely Must go place if would like to experience Authentic Indian Food in Milan.

    I would eat here every day of the week if I had the chance! The food was amazing, taste and quality. The staff was very welcoming and even though it was crowded they continued to be extremely attentive. 6/5 stars!

    I live in London which has many great Indian food. For this restaurant I think it’s the average level compare to London ones. If you love spicy food, do tell the waiter to make it spicy for you, as the restaurant adjusted to the Italian standard of spiciness. It’s nice if you carve for Indian food in Milan.

  • 2/5 OSAMA A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is ok, but the service is very slow and there are only two people in the restaurant to serve and one of them speaks indian only!. You have to wait a long time to be able to order. I won't tell you how to deal with customers but I don't recommend this restaurant. I forgot one more thing: he brought me my drink after I finished eating

    The food is pretty good, but I just couldn’t give one star more because of their customer service. The ambience is dark and dingy. Not a very nice-looking area. Just placing 1000 pictures of our Hindu Gods does not mean a thing if you don’t show it by your actions. You need to serve your customers with equality. The waiter, a young boy wearing all white was not the nicest and sounded kinda rude. The owner was sucking up to this family who was non-Indian and totally disregarded us because we looked Indian. He kept going to them again and again to make small talk. If they want happy customers, then the owner should be going to each table and asking for feedback. They need lessons in customer service. Don’t spend your money here if you want good customer service.

    We arrived a bit early, before the restaurant started...While we were waiting we saw all the servers, chefs and helpers praying to the indian gods before starting work. It seemed so unique and nice! The food is a bit spicy even if you tell them to not put spice for kids, so I really recommend this restaurant for spice lovers. Overall the restaurant gives you very happy warm, indian house type vibes. Really heart warming indeed!! :)

    The food was good. A bit catering to the locals - not too spicy. The atmosphere was good and great variety.

    Shri Ganesh is a unique restaurant that serves authentic Indian cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. Their wide selection of dishes reflects the richness of flavors and aromas characteristic of Indian cuisine. The staff is always friendly and helpful, ready to advise you on the selection of dishes and the degree of spiciness. The interior design referring to Indian culture and art adds a unique charm to the restaurant. It is the perfect place for a family lunch, a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends. I recommend Shri Ganesh to anyone who wants to go on a culinary journey to India without leaving the city.

  • 5/5 Jessica V. 6 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    The best casual discovery! Awesome food, very authentic (several tables full of Indian people, good sign), and incredibly nice staff. Very beautiful environment also. I would absolutely recommend and come back.

  • 5/5 Anna B. 3 months ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    We decided to have the fixed meat menu (€28) and a vegetarian one in order to try different types of dishes and I must say that we were satisfied! The chicken in cashew sauce was definitely the best dish, I recommend trying it!! The staff is very kind and the prices are honest for the amount of food offered. We will definitely be back

    Ok, first things first the review is on the overall experience and things which matter for Indian restaurant, especially if it’s a one which is outside India, as it represents the country and its food culture. I’m gonna be as specific as possible. I ordered 2 naans - garlic & cheese, a portion of Rogan josh, a biriyani, a mix tandoori platter & lassi. All this costed me around 45 which is decent. Food was really good, made well, portions were good too.! So what went wrong? The things which come with the food and the timing. As a person from a culinary standpoint The service was too slow for an Indian restaurant. The atmosphere was really dark. The food wasn’t provided well with its own condiments. For instance I ordered the mixed grill plater Which consisted of two pieces of tikka/tandoori 1 piece of malai tikka, 1 piece of seekh, 1 piece of lollipop, 1 piece of hariyali tikka this was really good But the condiment of hari chutney wasn’t provided The most important dip for a tandoor made dish.

    We ordered a mixed starter for 2 people, a chicken tikka masala and a chicken with sauce. The mixed starter wasn't much and looked more like a collection of leftovers from the dishes from the day before. The chicken tikka masala was the only one to survive the chicken in sauce was completely dry and almost inedible

  • 1/5 Yuhan 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    The food is good but portion super small. The service is TERRIBLE. We WAITED 30 minutes on the table JUST TO ORDER food. We paid 20 euro each just for a rice + curry for each person 🙃 plus waiting so long. Definitely will NOT COME BACK again.

    Excellent food and service. Authentic Indian restaurant, highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Rosh 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best Indian restaurants in town. Bit on the pricey side though, for what I would call small portions. The atmosphere is great, lots of decorations that you'd expect your grandma to have (that's not a bad thing, means it's authentic) and the staff are really friendly. It can get busy, so maybe make a reservation.

  • 3/5 xisca p. 2 years ago on Google
    Do not order to take away they can never deliver on time, and they also have an attitude. The food is not bad, neither is great, but the attitude is unacceptable

  • 5/5 Manimala G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place! Great food.. wonderful experience! Surely must go place if you want to try nice Indian food!

  • 5/5 maria elena p. 2 years ago on Google
    SUPERB everything. Best Indian food in Milan, great service, great location. You'll love it

  • 3/5 Suhail Al A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food aroma and spices isn’t like how most reputable Indian restaurants are. Spicy level was good. The interior of the restaurant was basic and the AC was off and we felt hot most of the time, before eating the spicy food, haha. The waiters felt like trainees and when I asked for ice he only got me one ice cube in my cup!!!

  • 4/5 Sudhindra V. 1 year ago on Google
    Shri Ganesh is wonderful when it comes to food.. I normally think 100 times to be judgemental and post a negative review about our customer service .. But this restaurant demands it.. We have our own people with a lacklustre approach and it is so demotivating ..On the other hand , you have a REAL GEM named IMANUELE whose impeccable in his customer service and walks an extra mile to fulfill customer needs. If you visit this restaurant don’t even make an attempt to look at the person from India .. He is filled with arrogance and filthy attitude .. Watch for IMANUELE and he is TRUE BLESSING and will ensure FOOD Is served HOT & DELICIOUS.. Thsnks IMANUELE..

  • 2/5 Shalu A. 1 year ago on Google
    Average or below average Indian food in Milan - not something to crave for. Service was a big issue when we visited. Excessive delay in not only placing order and getting food were a bit frustrating. Not going again.
