The short answer
Ganesh Indian Restaurant: what visitors should know first
Worth a visit if your group wants Indian food on Phu Quoc. Wikivoyage rates the cooking as acceptable rather than outstanding, so go for familiarity, ask about vegetarian dishes, and confirm hours first.

Why it matters
Why Ganesh Indian Restaurant is worth your time
On a seafood island, a place that cooks Indian food is useful for groups with mixed diets, children who will not try local dishes, or older relatives who want rice, dal or bread they recognise. Wikivoyage names Ganesh alongside other Indian restaurants in Duong Dong, so it is one of the few such options a guidebook mentions.
Be realistic about quality, as the guide is. Set your expectations for a simple, familiar meal and keep a backup plan for strict dietary needs. Jain travellers in particular should speak to staff directly, because we found no evidence of a Jain menu, and no source confirms that Ganesh is vegetarian only.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage lists Ganesh among the Indian restaurants of Duong Dong and gives its address as 97 Tran Hung Dao. The same guide describes the food as acceptable but not at the level of Indian restaurants in the UK or Australia, which is a fair expectation to carry in: this is a convenient taste of home, not a destination meal.
We have not seen the menu, so we cannot tell you which dishes are best or whether it serves meat. Treat it as a mixed Indian restaurant until you have checked. Ask the staff which dishes are vegetarian, whether onion and garlic can be left out, and whether the kitchen uses fish sauce or egg in anything you plan to order.
Pair it with a stroll along Tran Hung Dao in daylight, since several other restaurants on the same road are a short walk away, and keep dinner earlier if older family members tire in the evening heat.
