In the Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana, the hero Rama defeats the demon-king Ravana by teaming up with Hanuman and eating strength-enhancing Popeye-brand curry. Magnify your own mouth with today's deal: for $15, you get $30 worth of magically delicious Indian cuisine at Dancing Ganesha, a downtown restaurant with vegetarian-friendly fare and contemporary twists on classic Indian recipes.
Perch yourself atop an imaginary elephant and trample your appetite with Dancing Ganesha's spicy, gyrating menu. Start a meal with some vegetable samosas, a tricorner pastry filled with a potato-pea filling and distinctive spice mix ($4.99). For a fresh-fired experience, order the tandoori chicken, a half chicken marinated in sweet spices and roasted in the Tatooine-like heat of the Indian tandoor oven ($12.99). Try Dancing Ganesha's creamy butter chicken ($13.99), or branch out and try a spicy curried specialty such as the shrimp vindaloo (shrimp in a hot, tangy vindaloo sauce, $15.99). For a mild, creamy dish, opt for lamb nilgiri, with slow-cooked lamb in a mild coconut curry, or try one of the many vegetarian entrees, like the Aloo Gobi masala (cauliflower and potatoes cooked with ginger, tomatoes, and a distinctive herb blend, $10.99). No Indian dinner would be complete without a cup of sweet masala chai tea ($2.99) and an order of sauce-soppable flatbread, such as their garlic naan ($2.99), to round out a meal.
Dancing Ganesha's modern interior and bright, vibrant setting complement its contemporary Indian cuisine well, allowing diners to sate their visual palates while quenching thirsts and utterly demolishing hunger. Take a special someone out for an evening or escape from the pressures of society to an exotic locale with today's deal.
