Best Indian food I've had in ddorf so far…read more We ordered fish thali and chicken tikka tandoori. We were satisfied. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The naan wasn't the best I've had but it was fine. Raita, chai, and mixed pickle were just right. Totally recommend.

Solid Indian restaurant that isn't afraid of spice. I dropped by for dinner on a weeknight and we…read morehad no problem getting a table without reservations. I tried the palak murgh (12.50) - Spinach & chicken curry with chunks of ginger and garlic. This was great comfort food for a cold evening. The bowls look small but I couldn't even finish because it was so rich. The garlic naan went nicely with this - tasted fresh and chewy. Also had a bite of the chicken tikka masala (SPICY) and chicken madras (mustard & coconut curry). I will say that I agree with the previous reviewer that the curries were very salty in addition to the other flavors, so be sure you have water on hand. The atmosphere & decor isn't the best, but the food brightened the place up. If you're craving Indian, this should fit the bill.

UPDATE:- Went out on a limb on Friday and ordered the Chicken Biriyani (extra-hot of course)…read more Superb - best (non-home-made) curry I have had in Düss - my new favourite! --- It's a bit expensive (but so are all Indians in Dusseldorf), and it lacks atmosphere at times. Service can be a bit ropey if the boss is not about, and come to think of it, so can the food. However, I go back again and again because despite its shortcomings, Mayur is the best Indian in town. If this restaurant was in London it would be 2, or 3 stars, max. In Duss it gets 4 to differentiate it from some dodgy opposition. If you are a seasoned spice-lover you'll find the heat levels rather tame, so ask for them to make it extra-hot. Even vindaloo, which is my pick of the main dishes. They have recently started serving Himalaya beer, which is superb.
TOURIST TRAP - I trusted the ratings…read more.. You probably ended up here due to the incredible rating on google. 4.8 at 1600 reviews is astonishing but also alarming. The majority of people are English people, thus we knew that most of them probably ended up here just like us - the google ratings. The whole utensils were dirty. The prices totally exaggerated. A small portion for 19-25€. The service was not attentive. We asked for recommendation and they were annoying pointing towards some dishes. Taste wise everything is slightly spicy. I had way better Butter chicken and laughed when I tried their garlic naan that's been promoted hardly here which taste simply bland. The seafood platter for 26€ consists of mostly Paprika and surimi which is not even real fish. Overall I truly believe the business model is to lure people, especially tourists into trying mayur and then ending up paying shit lots of money for little value so that this place get a one-shot big return for their food. That's why this place is full because it doesn't haben regulars. Our dishes were disappointing and it's another underwhelming story of the feeling that we all hate - leaving tons of money for dissatisfying food that makes you feel bad because of the cheap ingredients, the calories and the expensiveness. The staff doesn't look happy and are clearly being underpaid and micromanaged. I really regret coming here For my German friends I say it in one sentence: Geht nicht hin, lasst euch nicht verarschen von den Google Bewertungen die safe gekauft sind.

Terrible customer service and very shady business practices…read more.. 1) It began with them ringing up the wrong order for take-out, and then when I corrected their order, they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay for the mistake they made plus the new order I made...no. THAT is NOT customer service. It took me going back and forth with them for more than 5 minutes letting them know that I was not going to pay for a mistake they made on my order. He then processed my order w/ the original dish by telling me that "it was 'about' the same amount"..I believe the original dish was at least two euros more expensive. 2) When I had ordered over the phone, I was not told, neither did it say on the online menu that rice was included with my curry so I had ordered a side of rice.. most restaurants would let me know if I ordered double the rice that my dish already came with a side of rice so I wouldn't order more than I needed -----when i got home, I literally had enough rice to feed an entire country.. 3) they gave me some form of re-heated naan, because the outer naan was soggy and soft, and the middle was hard as plastic.

This one is near the hot spot of Japanese restaurants in Dusseldorf. I made a reservation on OpenTable but that wasn't necessary. The food was excellent and I found the interior to be pleasant and fitting with the vibe. Service was sufficiently attentive. I ordered a cocktail with my food and it was just ok. Maybe the other cocktails are better.

I tried the chicken tikka (€8.90) and all the sides - my faves were the lentils and chickpeas. They didn't have naan when I went, so I tried the homemade chapati and this was perfect for dipping.

The naan in particular is excellent and pairs nicely with the curries. The portion sizes are on the smaller side compared to what I would have loved. That said it was not a deal breaker and simply meant that I ended up ordering an extra entrée. The quality of the food made that an easy decision. The location is convenient and not too far from the main station which makes it a good option if you are arriving by train or staying nearby. Overall Ganesha is a solid choice for Indian food with good flavors good bread and a central location.

The place is dark and dated, not much love put into decorations and clearly everything is old. Positives: The staff was friendly and the food came fast. But unfortunately it lacked flavor (which seems impossible with indian food) and wasn't cooked all the way through. I still hope I won't get food poisoning. Compared to so many other places available in Düsseldorf I wouldn't recommend. But based on other reviews I wouldn't have gone here in the first place, I only went because some colleagues picked out the place.

And this time I broke it…read more On my way to another restaurant I walked by Suriya and the warm fragrance of indian spices drew me in. Yes, there was not one soul sitting at the tables, but I was very hungry and the smell was very inviting. I decided to give it a shot, so I went in and approached the counter. It was kinda funny to have three indian guys staring at me with curiosity while I ordered their eat-in lunch special: 7.80 euro for an indian three course menu + indian beer. I picked my tabled and took a seat. The room was comfortable and reasonably clean. Soon enough I was presented with a warm tomato soup, nice and comforting although a little on the salty side. I could hear the kitchen getting the Alu Ghobi Masala all ready for me, what eased my mind about the food being cooked fresh. It was very nice, authentic enough although not very spicy. Then, dessert. I have no idea what it was, but it tasted delicious. All for 10 euros including the beer. God knows why there were no more patrons. Maybe it was just the time of the day. But the food is solid and I can recommend.

FOOD & DRINKS While they offer menu items, I wouldn't…read moresuggest you get those. Just get the all you can eat hot pot like everyone else. You have different options for the broth which also includes a vegetarian variant. The selection of seafood, meats and veggies is large enough to make everyone happy. They even offer some dim sum and snack items on top of your all you can eat hot pot. That said, most of the dim sum items are not good if you compare it to a dim sum specialized restaurant but since its all you can eat, you can give some a try. I just wouldn't recommend it with a few exceptions like the desert or snack items. Lately they even offer a lobster broth and one serving of premium beef, a bit of lobster and crab. The meat and seafood items have ok quality. I wouldn't say its the best I've gotten at an all you can eat place but decent enough. SERVICE I would say the service is good. Very friendly and always helpful. The first time was the best though. The owner took the time to greet us in person, explained everything carefully and just showed a lot of care. ATMOSPHERE While the previous location was kinda small, the new restaurant is quite large with lots of seating available inside and outside. The best about this hot pot is that everyone has their own pot. It is like your own personal fondue. No need to restrict yourself to specific broths when you come with a party that also includes vegetarians. RATING I have been here when they still had the location in the city center. Then I visited them when they newly opened at a larger place a bit outside of the city center and since then I have been here on a few celebration occasions. The rating is based on all the experiences I had so far. They improved over time in terms of service and overall quality.
