"Disappointing"   My Rating

	Review: After the raving reviews, I wanted to try it, since in Venice, it is very easy to get a bad meal...almost every meal is bad! Unfortunately, perhaps I went to Ganeshji on a bad day, but the experience was disappointing. They were extremely busy, and had just the owner and her manager catering to at least 10 tables. This is a typical Indian restaurant... nothing special. The naan and the parathas were under done and almost half cooked. The subzis were not too bad. However, 2 things left a bad taste. When we got the bill, we saw a cover charge of 2.5 Euro per person. This was not mentioned any where at the entrance or on the menu. In 4 days and 8 meals in venice, we did not encounter a cover charge when we had a full meal. A cover charge is normally adjusted against the bill. But it was not done here. Secondly, their door and the inside were plastered with all credit card signs. Yet, we I wanted to pay with my card, they claimed the machine was not working. It is almost impossible, that in this day and age, both Amex and Mastercard / Visa machines would not be working at the same time. Lastly, I am not sure why this restaurant is listed in Happy Cow. As I said this is a typical Indian restaurant with meat items as well. In that case, this site would be inundated with hundreds of Indian restaurants in almost every city!   Pros: Only Indian Restaurant in Venice * * Cons: Cover charge * Credit cards not accepted * Breads were under cooked

"best meal in Venice"   My Rating

	Review: After several horrendous meals in Venice, we were thrilled to find Ganesh Ji. Finding it though was quite an experience, the maps are useless, just wander around until you find it. Anyway the food was delicious, one of the better Indian meals I've had and definitely the best meal in Venice. The view was beautiful, gondolas going by every minute. The wait staff was super friendly - they even let me get 2 half sized portions of food because I wanted to try more than one dish. Overall great experience.   Pros: delicious!! * great view * friendly Cons: hard to find, but it's Venice afterall * *

"Wonderful setting and food!"   My Rating

	Review: This restaurant has a beautiful setting and delicious food. We ate here many nights and had great, warm, attentive service from our male server. One night we were served by the female owner who accidentally gave us a plate of the chicken pakoras - of which my husband bit into one (but didn't swallow it)! We're both vegan and my husband was particularly disturbed. We still had a week left in Venice and he refused to eat there again! I still have to give it 4 cows for the taste of the food that was vegan/vegetarian!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"A wonderful discovery"   My Rating

	Review: I had just gone vegan only 3 weeks on visiting Venice last week. Ganesh made it simple. Wonderful food, a lovely setting and both the Hindu chef and the ownder Patrizia made such an effort to make us welcome. The only day closed is Wednesday or I would have eaten here every night. Thank you Patrizia for wonderful food, understanding both vegetarian and vegan needs and making our Venice holiday. Such an genuinely pleasant host made our whole holiday.   Pros: Excellent food * Understands veggie and vegan needs * Welcoming friendly host and staff Cons: closed on Wednesdays * *
