Ganapati Restaurant
Overview
The kitchen is the soul of a restaurant as it is of a home, providing warmth, nourishment and evocative smells. An air of expectancy surrounds the kitchen as the work of the day begins. It is a place of hard work, companionship and great rewards, and most importantly, it brings people together to feast on the results.
Ganapati is the south Indian name for the elephant-headed god Ganesh. He is the well-loved remover of obstacles, with a particular fondness for sweets.

One of the best Indian restaurants in London. Small and tucked away in Peckham, with loads of vegetarian options served in a Southern India style. It's probably smart to make reservations as sometimes Ganapati is really slammed.
Vegetarian street snacks were delicious but small, so don't think you are going to share with the table. Savoury lassi was awesome. If the curry you order says hot,...more
