Sandbach has a variety of curry restaurants, and The Ganges is definitely one of the better ones. I have visited this place around five times in the last couple of years, and most of the meals have been excellent. However, during a visit in December 2022, some members of my party ordered spicy dishes that turned out to be lacking in heat. When we raised this issue with the staff, they brushed it off by commenting on our supposed tolerance for heat, but it was clear that there was a problem in the kitchen either with the lack of chillies or their omission altogether. Despite this disappointing experience, the Restaurant Manager is usually a welcoming host who ensures a pleasant dining experie...
We’ve been before and the service is consistently good. The food is probably the best Indian in Sandbach. The chutneys with the poppadoms are great the usual onions and mango chutney but also a thick and addictive raita and a red spicy chutney which is the secret recipe of one of their team. My husband ordered a spicy king prawn dish which gave him a very red face, hiccups and a big smile! I had the mixed Ganges biryani which was huge, had plenty of lamb, chicken and prawns. The accompanying sauce wasn’t like the usual rather wishy washy dish with frozen veg; but a spicy red curry which packed a kick. Heated up the remainder the next day and the kick was even harder!! Would recommend.
The service is amazing. The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and really personable. Always happy to help. The food is out of this world. Honestly, I haven’t been to a better Indian restaurant as good anywhere. The flavours are incredible and the staff will alter the Level of spice and heat to your liking. The gunpowder chicken is incredible. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. The atmosphere is welcoming and they are just a great bunch of people. The chefs really are top drawer.
We have always rated Ganges highly, despite its higher prices compared to other takeout options. Unfortunately, a series of incorrect orders has left us feeling really disappointed. Having to make the trip back to collect our orders, only to receive no apology other than "we are human," is disappointing. While mistakes happen, this has not been a one-time occurrence and the lack of apology is not acceptable, especially given the price we are paying. It's a shame.

Ordered a takeaway with mates, 2/3 meals were very watery, bhuna was tasteless (literally like eating hot water with rice) paid extra for chicken tikka and it was normal chicken (only about 5 pieces of chicken in the whole dish) madras was also incredibly watery and tasteless besides from being the spicier than a vindaloo by a long way, first time trying Ganges and it’s also the last time.
The food at this restaurant is decent, but not the best Indian cuisine I have tried. It is also not the worst. I didn't particularly enjoy the keema naan or chicken pathia, and I wouldn't order them again. Other dishes that my family ordered looked better. Perhaps I was just unlucky.
Great food, great service, lovely staff and very clean. Really couldn't ask for more. Was given a recommendation and are very glad we gave it a try. Extra bonus to find Bruno Mars working there!
Staff are helpful and really courteous. Extensive menu, food was very good and reasonably priced. The Madras is particularly hot! Mushroom rice is delicious.
