Ganges

Shrewsbury locals in the know make a beeline for Ganges when only a proper curry will do. This long-standing restaurant has built a devoted following for its fresh seafood and tandoori specialities, earning a solid reputation and a commendable Food Hygiene Rating. It’s the sort of place where the chef’s passion for authentic spicing is evident in every dish—no bland, one-size-fits-all sauces here.

Starters like the king prawn puri set the tone, but the real stars are the tandoori platters and the catch of the day, cooked with a deft hand. The biryanis arrive fragrant and fluffy, while the curries—think rich, slow-simmered rogan josh or a punchy vindaloo—showcase depth without drowning in oil. Whether you’re ordering for a quiet night in or feeding a crowd, Ganges delivers the kind of satisfying, flavour-packed meal that keeps Shrewsbury coming back for more.
