First Impressions

Dancing Ganesha

July 22, 2008

The owners of NalaPak in Columbia Heights have brought their game Downtown. Opened in the former Willie’s Wine Bar space, Dancing Ganesha offers a wide range of Indian food. While the architecture of the space didn’t change much, it has been warmed up with soft colors and hand-painted murals. The menu offers traditional dishes such a tikka masala and moghlai, to more contemporary items such as lobster peri peri: skewers of marinated lobster cooked in the tandoor. The lunch buffet, served during the week, looks to be varied and generous.

1100 Harmon Pl., Mpls., 612-338-1877

My first impression? Not so good. A friend of mine is a GM at a nearby restaurant. She was having a panic attack over something they were out of and needed. I helped her by calling local restaurants that could possibly help by loaning the specific ingredient she was in need of. I called The Dancing Ganesha and they were downright rude and unhelpful. The chef wasn't in, they had just opened and the chef wasn't in? The manger was far too busy to even speak on the phone. Even though he was the one that answered? From the reception we recieved on the phone, I wouldn't even consider giving them my money. There are far too many choices out there and they have already made themselves a choice I would not make.
