Ginger Indian Street Food Restaurant in South Tyneside

I have been a regular of Ginger for a few years now and there is a reason for this. The food is absolutely superb and the customer service is by far the best I've ever experienced of any restaurant. It's such warm and welcoming atmosphere every time. They really care about the customers and have a variety of different tasty dishes that are produced by an excellent chef. I highly recommend Ginger to anyone wanting an amazing dining experience with excellent food.

Read some good reviews on here regarding the Ginger Indian Street Food and they were mainly good. So ordered a prawn on puri, lamb tikka massalla and coconut rice. It came on time, was still hot, but what a disappointment. The pancake was undercooked and prawns had no taste apart from too spicy. The tikka massalla was okay but I've had better and coconut rice was tasteless too. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and there's a lot better takeaways in the town. You live and learn.

Really great food, slightly different to the normal curry you get. The service was excellent, it was just what was needed after the great north run. We'll certainly be back!

Food delicious. Food being late okay as still hot

Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants on Ocean Road. Great service and food. Well priced. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing experience. We had originally intended to go and visit a different restaurant, but then discovered it wasn't open. So instead we decided to look in the windows of all the adjacent restaurants that were open, and we all said we liked the look of Gin Ger. It was our first visit, but definitely not the last. The whole experience was positive and most enjoyable. Spotless linen tablecloths and nice thoroughly pleasant environment with authentic Asian music playing quietly in the background. Attentive, courteous staff who advised and recommended menu items without being intrusive. The food was superb, hot, nicely presented, but most important of all it was all delicious, with generous portions too. The nice thing about our trip was that we were being entertained to dinner by friends from another country and to say they were impressed was a massive understatement. I can't recommend this place enough, well done Gin Ger, thank you for a lovely evening.

Fabulous. Best curry in shields.

Just had my third taken away from Ginger and I cannot fault the food. I have used many restaurants/ takeaway Indian food places and this is certainly one of the best.

2nd time been to this restaurant and the food and service have been fabulous. From the drinks to food delicious

By far the best I've had in my life, lamb special was unbelievable as was the naga chilli dish, rice and naan was perfect and fresh, great service from the staff too 👌👌 will definitely be a returning customer.

The most fantastic place for your authentic Indian eat in or takeawa.no better in hertford

Amazing as always tandoori king prawn was lush. I can’t recommend this place enough, lovely friendly staff and amazing food.

This is the best curry I have ever had. The service was excellent and the Guy serving us was very understanding and giving us extra time to order. Overall a lovely experience eating out. I had vegetable curry, pilau rice, chips and nann bread. Yummy.

Good and staff are nice. Unfortunately they have raised the prices too much. My bill went up by £10 even though I ordered the same as last month. £6 per pint £4 for half is way too much. £4.50 nan bread too expensive. I won’t be going back until they adjust the prices. My Tikka was nice but just too expensive.

We go here regularly fir a sit in meal an if never fails to hit the spot HOWEVER the delivery side is terrible. Food Took 1hr 45 to arrive (got a bottle of cobra by way of a sorry which was appreciated) but I was polite to the driver and hoped it was as good as sitting in. Flavours were weak not a hint of spice in the king prawn garlic chilli and Bombay potatoes were tasteless! Overall terrible experience tonight. May have to find another place for future curry nights out. Such a shame.

Late and not the best food was great delivery was poor

Best Curry I've had in a while, staff were were great aswell. Will definitely be back!

Modern restaraunt & great menu. Plenty of new choices as well as the "old favorites" Excellent tasting food,Excellent service & Excellent surroundings. Highly recommended & I recommend that you try it. Take your time choosing your dish as there are dozens to choose from. FIVE STARS EASILY. Always good service & good good.

beautiful food happy it arrived early.

A bit different to all the others on Ocean Road. Friendly staff, as expected clean and modern, and good food with a slight twist.

One of the best Indian takeaways/ restaurants in the Ocean Road are of South Shields. Delivery on time, hot and ready to eat, tasty and filling. Dupiaza and Gophi as main meals. Naan with plenty of filling, mixed rice and thick chips, lovely.

Ordered 3 different curries very disappointing all watery and really bland.

First visit on a cold Tuesday night. Asked to not be seated in window so nicely placed next to Radiator. Staff really welcoming. Nice clean easy to read menus. Pops and pickle tray nice with added lime pickle as extra. Special biryani very very nice - fresh tasting with nice chunks of lamb,fresh chicken and king prawn lovely. Garlic bread very fresh - i think one of the best Ive had. Beer prices not excessive. Lovely Cobra glasses 😊. Deserve 4.7 on trip advisor for the nice food. Would return. No photos as too hungry !

Over an hour for cold food is disgraceful!!

Chicken was really tough. This should not happen with a restaurant that cares about the quality of its food and values its customers. I suspect, as increasingly is the case, that the takeaway food is not prepared by the same chefs that prepare the restaurant meals, as the restaurant has a decent reputation. Never again

Food was awful, overpriced and cold by the time we received it as it was late. If I could give zero stars then I would and will not be ordering from this place again and wouldn't recommend it.

Food was clay cold and had little taste. Seafood platter was overpriced for what we received and the platter sauce...looked suspiciously like a curry base sauce. Will not be ordering from here again and if I could give them zero stars then I would. Especially after the food took over 1 and a half hours to arrive.

The food tonight was amazing....loved the pickle tray, had a chicken tikka masalla made vindaloo hot, and it didn't disappoint. The waiter was amazing, helpful, and friendly with great service 👍

7 adults, all different mains, sundries, excellent

Excellent service and excellent food as usual.

Ordered two portions of Pilau rice but only received one. Contacted shop and will be compensated next time. Food was excellent again and friendly service

This restaurant is having tasteless food , i think the chef who is cooking the food is not Indian ….. it’s some bangladeshi or Pakistani guy making fool out of people on the name of Indian food ….. not worth visiting it and quality of food is also really bad ….. this is the most honest review an Indian can give about Indian food

Possibly the worst staff curry I have ever ordered. For the same cost you can get a much better curry from Tandorri International

Food was great as always , no popadom even after I ordered 2 and a pickle tray :(

Best I’ve had in ages. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely order from Ginger again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great restaurant,food was delicious and staff were very friendly.👏👏

Excellent, authentic Indian food, the tastiest we've had for as long as I can remember. The staff are passionate about their food, in particular their signature dishes, some of which have spice mixes unique to this restaurant. Friendly, efficient service, a couple of tables in a quieter area away from large groups, and a lovely atmosphere. Outstanding.

Our mate got stuck in south shields due to the floods but thankfully your restaurant saved him from the floods. He used to not be a man of curries before he met his wife but she converted him and he now swears that ginger Indians is the best around. Great establishment 5/5 without a doubt. 👏

I've never had a bad experience at ginger, the food is fantastic, they take great care when it comes to dietary restrictions, even swapping out ingredients at request, and the service is second to none. Best restaurant in South Shields!

Lovely food 😋 great service well worth a visit

Not yet attended this restaurant but am very much looking forward to it. My mate goes about 3 times a week and refuses to go anywhere else, and he even looked into getting his wedding catered from you guys. Keep up the good work lads.

Mediocre food, expensive and the delivery charge is more than other restaurants.

Lots of restaurants in the area to choose from, we picked this particular one because of its reviews by previous customers, and we weren't disappointed it was excellent!

Great food/price. Staff royal lamb curry was excellent. Server didnt understand much english. We went early and no one else was in.

Love the garlic keem pilau rice

The food at this restaurant is of the highest quality of any Indian style restaurant I have ever visited.Service is always admirable

One of the best Indian restaurants on Ocean Rd.

We've eaten at the restaurant a few times with friends but on the basis of this takeaway will not be going back. The meal arrived late and cold. The chicken dupiaza tasted bland and the chicken was tough. The tarka dal had the consistency of water and was overpowered by half cloves of garlic that had been chucked in. The naan was ok but again was cold. The only item that was as expected were the poppadoms.

amazing customer services the Anwar (staff member) was extremely friendly and always has a smile, the food tasted good next time I would ask for the pani Puriii to be abit more spicy and same for Samosa chaat the veg shingara chaat was amazing lovely flavours the lamb karaii was on point took guest from out of town (3 hours away) and they loved it and will come again next time they’re here!!!

Thank so much for looking after us last night for my 40th, food was amazing and the service and staff were second to non,

High quality food with excellent service. The menu has many "new" offerings as well as more traditional meals. You will probably wonder about the "new" meals, but have no fear as the ones I have tried for the first time are tasty. Have no fear just read the menu & try something different from your normal meal. Well worth a visit & the staff are very attentive & happy to offer advice & explanations. If you consider all of this & dine in lovely surroundings, I am sure you will enjoy your meal & evening out.

Excellent streetfood cuisine at a reasonable price,

Great food very friendly staff 👌

Cracking place for food, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere in the restaurant.

Lovely food delivered hot but took over 3 hours to deliver, original estimate was 1 hour 20 mins. I gathered that the restaurant had some issues with orders.

Fabulous food everything we ordered was beautifully seasoned and cooked , would highly recommend these guys 👍👍👍👍👍

I’m so disappointed. I absolutely love the food from this restaurant ( the railway lamb is amazing) & the staff are always so polite, however two hours is way to long to wait for delivery. It wasn’t even peak time- I ordered at 5:30pm and the estimated delivery time said 30-40mins. It didn’t arrive until 7:35pm I’ve eaten in the restaurant a few times recently and wait times for food were quite long too. Sadly I won’t be returning until they can work out whatever’s going wrong at the moment.

Had a meal here last week and would definitely recommend. Service, food and value excellent! Very knowledgeable about dishes and answered all our questions.Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Bland food and missing items. Disappointing considering the cost. Luckily, just eat sorted refund promptly.

Been ordering from them for a while now wouldn't go any place else everything is always beautiful taste fresh never had one bad meal yet... Only thing I'd update is the chips but the rice makes up for it. I order the chicken Tikka masala or lamb Rogan and always beautiful I'm quite fussy with my food so this is huge for me 🤣thank you for always making lovely food guys and girls 😁

Great service, food was hot and fresh, very nice night.

Had currys around the world one of the worst ever never order again discussing!!!

Fantastic food and service. Highly recommended.

Great tasty food. Delivered early and hot to eat.

Went out with my husband for a meal was not expecting the service recieved outstanding customer service and the presentatiin was out this work . The meals were full of flavour fell in love with the bhauna prawn if i could give 10 stars a would will be going again for sure the staff made u feel so comfortable and go out their way to please their customers dont think av taste a bhauna prawn like that in about 20 years out this world xx

Lamb staff curry is beautiful! Authentic flavours!! Almost tastes homemade like you would have at any Asian/Bengali person's home. Brilliant service, very professional and friendly.

Lovely place to eat one of my fave Indian restaurants. Great value you for money very tasty and friendly staff.

Pickle tray nan bread rice and main, this was all exceptional. These people know how to cook Indian food, it was a delight.we are not local so fear we will not be able to return, but it was a meal to remember.

Will definitely be back. Best Dhansak since The Raj closed and have tried about 5 different places on Ocean Road.

With so many restaurants on Ocean Road to chose from, this is definitely the jewel in the crown. The staff are so nice and the food is lovely. I don't like hot spicy food so they are happy to make dishes a little milder (or extra hot for my partner). Very reasonable prices, especially the set menu.

After a couple of bad meals in South Shields we were recommended this restaurant, the food and service was excellent and would recommend it to others. The staff made suggestions with menu choices which were good. Would revisit if we came back to South Shields.

Top notch food fast delivery service very tasty best onion bhajis av had even the lamb passanda was lovey with egg paliu rice and keemanan. Will defo order again fantastic 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Excellent! The food was absolutely delicious, they had an awesome vegan menu and the customer service was amazing! The people were really friendly and chatty, and it was an all round great experience. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Service was excellent as well as food

chips wer massive but hard, prawns over cooked and main chicken to tough to eat, the whole meal was binned.

Can never fault this restaurant.. ive been in the restaurant on a few occasions and have ordered from just eat also..food is beautiful!! Would recommend 100%...👍🏼😁

Amazing food, polite staff and and nice ambience

The best Indian food we have ever tasted, amazing chef and staff are so friendly and helpful

So tasty and there was so much of it!

My family and I were craving Indian food while we were visiting South Shields. Ginger Indian Street Food was one of the highest rated restaurants that I found online so decided to give it a try. It's now our new favourite! The food was sooo tasty and very well made, lots of options on the menu, and the set meals are really good value for money. I had the grilled fish as my main and I was pleasantly surprised at how tender and tasty it was. My mum had the Lamb Bombay Railway and it was extremely tender and delicious. Really can't say anything bad about the food. Best of all, service was excellent. Really helpful and polite staff, great ambience. Wish nothing but the best for the owner and staff. Looking forward to our next visit!

Food very very nice high quality lovely staff 5 stars easy dhanyavaad🙏

Absolutely disgusting worst curry I’ve ever hat full of fat and bones

Very disappointed that one of the curry trays was smashed in and the chips were half cooked and hard. I had to try and cook them longer myself which is unacceptable especially when spending so much money. I wish I didn’t bother.

Really lovely food & arrived earlier than stated. The kids meals are great, good portion sizes. Will definitely order again.

Called twice after our order was delayed, told on both occasions it would be 15 mins, and eventually arrived over and hour later than advised after it was noted as being late, so 1hr&40 mins late from original order limited response on calling restaurant, food arrived cold, disappointing

Genuinely gutted. I'd been recommended here and was really looking forward to it considering the price. Absolutely tastless. The best part was the child's meal.

Our first time ordering from them and it was all delicious. A really good variety of flavours and sauces, fresh, hot and punctual. Very happy, will definitely order again, many thanks

Amazing food and service as always, highly recommend!!

Great food especially the masala fish. We will be back soon.

Good menu. Delicious food. Excellent service.

Rang an order in to collect, Really polite when taking my order and on collection. Food was hot and very tasty . May have found our new Saturday night takeaway.

Sorry but this was a disaster the food was late and cold and it leaked all over the bag so lost alot of sauce. I will show restaurant pictures. Left alot as too cold.

Fabulous food friendly but professional service . Will be visiting again .

My only complaint is that when my food arrived some of the contents had spilled out into the bag due to the carton being a bit battered other than that I couldn't fault it.

Something different with traditional offerings. Was good to try something different ..

We have been using this restaurant for a while now. Food is to die for, service is amazing. Set menu 3 course for £8.95 is a bargain.

GinGer was recommended by friends and I'm so glad they told us about this fabulous restaurant. As soon as we walked in the door the friendly smiling staff made us feel very welcome, they were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We were spoilt for choice with the impressive menu and everything we ordered was well presented and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Went for first time and their menu was impressive. The usual BIR style dishes along with a good selection of street food dishes as well as things i'd not heard of. Front of house guy was very friendly and informative. The chef also came out to see if we were enjoying the meal (nice touch).

Food was just warm the onion bhaji were cold soft and very greasy, the chips looked and tasted like they had been cooked a few hours before we got them tough very dry and barley warm. The madrs curry was ok but not enough chicken and again it was warm, very dissapointed, i ate in the restaurant last saturday night and it was fantastic how could it be so different,

Reasonable rate Good atmosphere Indian food and alcohol Book online
