A bright yellow stew of lamb, potatoes and onions, the charu had been cooked slowly with enough fresh ginger to give it a wonderfully smooth flavor. Spooned over nutty basmati rice, it was captivating. Unlike most Indian restaurants, Dancing Ganesha serves pork. Unfortunately, there was no cabbage left in the kitchen, so I had to settle for larger servings of the other two. But had I known one of the three dishes wasn't available, I'd have ordered something else.
Dinners come with a choice of two salads.
And appetizers, side dishes and desserts were as much fun as the main courses. Frankly, I found nothing junky about the dish, which mixed crisped rice, fried noodles with boiled potatoes and onions and covered all the ingredients with a combination of sweet tamarind and spicy cilantro sauces. Besides the food, the atmosphere makes Dancing Ganesha an interesting place for dinner. That criticism aside, Dancing Ganesha is one of the most exciting places to open in Milwaukee this year. If you like Indian food and want something different, plan a dinner there soon.
