• Disappointing

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!
