New Ganges Restaurant

Veg Heaven

by jaslinsf at Citysearch

If god eats eggplant, she orders it from New Ganges.

The food is a spice-freak's dream (spice doesn't mean hot - just VERY-VERY-VERY tasty). All spices are ground fresh, on-site. Everything is fresh - nothing frozen... they don't even own a freezer. Did I say "FRESH."

Only downside in SF is that Wine is not available. But even wine-os will find the food so good , that water works nearly as well.

It's like having dinner in an Indian friend's house, where the master chef is the best cook in India.

The vegie food is out of this world! The service is so good it could be a TV mini-series. Must be experiencied to be believed.

One of those small places you have been seeking all your life.

• Pros: GREAT food, spice, flavor

New Ganges

by thomas lee at Citysearch

The New Ganges Restaurant is, undoubtedly, one of the best restaurants in SF. Certainly, it's the best Indian vegetarian food around. The food is superb and is so fresh. The flavors are variegated, distinctive and exquisite. The service is great and the host is utterly gracious and inviting.

great food and great service!! Went there with a large group, sat in the back private area and were treated spectactularly. The type of place were the server takes control, recommends what to eat and treats you as if you were visiting his house. Loved it! PLUS, its BYOB so you save cash....

My favorite restaurant.

by sirajean at Citysearch

I like to go out to eat, a lot. The New Ganges is my favorite restaurant ever. #1: Delicious. Aftab will tell you, Everything Is Fresh, Nothing Is Ever Frozen! And he will prove it by showing you the empty freezer. #2: New Ganges is like family. Aftab absolutely pulls out all the stops. We have had birthday parties and taken many guests: everyone is impressed, everyone has a great time, and everyone eats way too much. #3: incredible samosas. #4: did I mention that the food is authentic, delicious, and they will make any dish you request, from mild to super-spicy? #5: it is a GREAT DEAL. Two of us can hurt ourselves for under $30. New Ganges is a treasure.

• Pros: DELICIOUS, Friendly, Great value

New Ganges Vegetarian Indian Restaurant

by joshieeee at Citysearch

ok, you guys...this is by far the best dining experience I've had in the city. With so many other Indian restaurants here, its a shame so many people are missing out. Go for the food and service.stay for the hospitality.come back for the fix.16 of us had a birthday dinner there-the best experience ever,down to the red roses for the female guests, the insurpassable knowledge of the spectacular food, the birthday balloons, candles, and the generous gesture to stay open late to accomodate our party. All this, including a 25%tip (I wish I couldve afforded 50%), for less than $20/person. 1 word: INCREDIBLE!!!!

• Pros: inexpensive, unprecedented service, best experience ever!
• Cons: , none, none!!!

Just like India...

by edavidellington at Citysearch

I have been to India many times. I am also a vegetarian. This is the best Indian fod that I have had in or out of India. FRESH is an understatement and the ambiance is like being invited to someone's home. I could not recommend this place more highly...and that includes small groups. I go once per week...really.

• Pros: good pricing, fresh vegetables

Great dining experience

by gpine at Citysearch

When you enter the New Ganges Restaurant, you will be greeted by the owner, Aftab. His man is an oricle of information on vegie Indian food. He will custom build a meal to your tastes or let him run wild to give you a truly unique dining experience. I learned more tonight about my love on really great Indian food. Aftab offered me tastes of food I would not normally order. Wow, I'm hocked! You have got to try this place.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great food!, Knowlegeable
