"Ganapati is a snug neighbourhood restaurant with a menu of traditional dishes done extremely well, like thaire vadai, a savoury lentil doughnut soaked in yoghurt, poppadoms with spicy garlic pickles, and rich mattanchery chicken curry. Our favourite place to sit is the greenhouse-like area that feels like it’s outside while being totally covered. When it’s raining outside, there are few things more therapeutic than tucking into their meaty chembra lamb curry while hearing the rain hit the glass roof. Or come on a weekday afternoon for the thali and you’ll get one of the most filling, delicious lunches in Peckham for under £15.
