"After completing the mandir Dharshan if you are looking for good food then make sure to try Ganesh Food nearby, especially if you're from the North. They serve South Indian-style meals on banana leaves. I tried the thali there, and it seems like most people were opting for it as well. The food was delicious!"

"I had lunch here at ganesh mess . Worth having quality food and staff are so humble they ask us about what we want to eat etc . Food was tasty and healthy. Affordable and clean and tidy."
Manjunatha Balakrishna
"Very overpriced.... A porotta which cost around 8 to 10 in kerala is priced at 30 rupees..
60 rupees for 2 porotta and curry.
The food was pretty tasty and good. Situated very close to the east entrance of the temple, it's a must try.
Not just here, food is overpriced in almost all hotels near rameshwaram"
