A place of worship is probably the last place to expect a flavorful meal, yet this exemplary eatery, nestled in a temple, challenges that thought. Located on Holly Avenue, this temple of the elephant-headed god is home to one of the most popular Indian eateries in the neighborhood. First, the holy atmosphere of the temple welcomes you; the tantalizing aroma of the vegetarian fare soon follows, directing you towards the bustling canteen. On offer is an eclectic menu of South Indian snacks, such as the flavorful masala dosa and the spicy onion uttappam. When in the neighborhood, head to the Ganesh Temple Canteen for a healthy, delectable Indian meal at a meagre price.
