Ganga is the Indian word for the Ganges River, a famous and holy river in India. As the name would suggest, Ganga is an authentic Indian restaurant. The dishes are prepared by an Indian chef with over 20 years of experience in Indian cuisine. It is this authoentic approach that keeps the restaurant packed every day. Some of the most popular dishes include marinated tandoori chicken baked in tandoor, tandoor-baked naan, fresh tomatoes with cream, and chicken makhani made of tender chicken, cheese, and curry. If you’re new to Indian cuisine and can’t stomach the strong flavor, curry dishes like palak paneer, chicken makhani, and beef dopiaza are recommended as well as tandoori chicken and tandoori prawn. Curry pairs best with the traditional Indian bread, naan.
