9 Best Indian Restaurants near Manitou Springs

“Wow! Raj and his team at Shri Ganesh are adding tremendous value to the Colorado Springs culinary scene—one of the best meals I’ve had in a while! We went out for a birthday celebration, and let’s just say I didn’t hold back on ordering. We enjoyed a variety of dishes: Vegetable Samosa, Chana Chaat, Butter Chicken Makhani, Salmon Saag, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Gajarka Halwa (a carrot dessert). Every single dish was fantastic! The samosas were massive and beautifully prepared. Chana Chaat was a new experience for me, but the chickpeas were flavorful and truly unique. Both curries were the best I’ve had at a restaurant—bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Notably, the salmon portions were generous and perfectly prepared. The Gajarka Halwa was also new to me, but it provided the perfect touch of sweetness to wrap up the meal. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this place more. The food is phenomenal, with every dish hitting the mark. The service was great—Raj waited on us himself and offered helpful recommendations. The atmosphere was wonderful too; it’s a spacious spot, so it never felt crowded. Plus, Shri Ganesh is locally owned, and running a restaurant is no small feat. With so many chain restaurants in Colorado Springs, supporting local gems like this is so important. It’s the kind of place our community should support for elevating our culinary scene. Shri Ganesh absolutely earns all the positive reviews it’s received. I’ll definitely be back, and I want to thank Raj and his team for bringing such an amazing restaurant to the Springs!“
