Anybody who lives near Sandbach and enjoys Indian food will know the Ganges Takeaway.  The excellent news for local food lovers is that they have just opened a restaurant by extending the premises next door.

On the 20th December myself and local reviewer Dave Pickles were invited as guests to dine in the new restaurant on its first night.

We were shown around the excellent new restaurant and bar. It appears no expense has been spared in order to present a modern, clean and rather original style.

The entrance consists of a long modern bar area, which will be fitted out with bar stools and seating. The feeling is very modern. This leads into the air conditioned restaurant with sumptuous pile carpet and seating for 50 - 60 diners.

The toilet facilities are pristine and spacious with disabled people also specially catered for.

This is a million miles from the traditional image of flock wallpapers and subdued lighting in Indian restaurants. Together with its new image it has an extensive and imaginative menu, sporting many dishes not normally served in traditional Indian restaurants. Even the menu is smart and different, opening horizontally instead of a normal vertical spine. This is a measure of how much thought and planning has gone into the new venture.

eatanddrink wish the management and staff of the Ganges every success with the new restaurant. I am sure it will be a great success as it aims to cater for more than the traditional Indian food lover.
