About this place
Fancy curry with naan, or a plate of spiced rice as the main event? At Indian restaurant Ganges, lunch can take different forms depending on what you feel like eating. The biryani comes with a choice of chicken, mutton, prawns or vegetables. One diner described its fluffy rice, studded with generous pieces of spice, and said that the yoghurt-based raita softened the heat. Raita may be just the thing alongside a well-seasoned rice dish.
For curry and naan, the cheese naan lunch comes with a choice of one curry. One lunchtime account describes a medium-spiced dal curry with cheese naan. The naan and curry were generous enough that the diner added a plain naan, making this a good match for anyone keen to tuck into plenty of curry. If choosing just one curry is difficult, a lunch set offers two. Options include the daily curry, chicken, beans, vegetables, spinach, mutton and keema, so you can try a few different flavours. You can also choose by the main ingredient, from spinach-based curry to egg keema with minced chicken and boiled egg.
For something beyond curry, try momo, Nepalese steamed dumplings. The restaurant describes them as parcels of minced meat or vegetables wrapped in a chewy dough and served with spicy tomato sauce. They make a handy dish on their own or to share around the table. Some lunch sets also include salad and a drink, though the contents vary by set. Start by deciding whether you want curry or rice: from biryani to momo, there is plenty of scope to shape the meal to your liking.
