Ginger Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Pre-Reservamos una fiesta de 10 para las 8 pm los domingos. Llegamos a tiempo a un restaurante casi vacío. Tuvimos que pedir para pedir bebidas. Tuvimos que pedir para ordenar algunos poppadoms. Tuvimos que pedir a los platos principales. Se volcaron a otros clientes y les dijeron que el restaurante estaba completamente reservado (estaba vacío aparte de nosotros). Los poppadoms estaban deliciosos. La cerveza de barril se había acabado. Sospecho que también se les acabó la comida. 90 minutos después de llegar aún no teníamos nuestros principales. Con un tren para coger les dijimos que tendríamos que salir en otros 5 minutos si no había comida. Platos (calientes) llegaron. Todavía en la comida después de otros 10 minutos. No hay explicación de la gestión de la demora. Finalmente, nos dimos por vencidos, pagamos por bebidas y poppadoms, y nos fuimos para tomar el último tren con el estómago vacío. NO UN RENDIMIENTO IMPRESIONANTE.

My fiance and I visited during a shirt trip to Edinburgh and we were impressed with Ginger. We had poppadoms to start with onions and pickle tray - excellent! Pickle tray was great and the poppadoms still warm.For a main, I had the Poleko Bhale Khukhura - a Nepalese chicken dish, I would highly recommend. My partner had the Chicken Korma, which she enjoyed. All sides (pilau rice, chips and peshwari naan) were fresh and hot.I would definitely recommend Ginger and will certainly visit again if I'm in Edinburgh.

I went here for Christmas meal with a friend due to the reviews and we were very disappointed. There was no atmosphere at all. The starter, tandoori chicken was very spicy but nice. The mains were a disaster. The tikka masala looked more like a kurma and had no taste. The madras had no spice , heat or taste and the garlic nan was was flat, crunchie and tasteless. The only positive was we could use my taste card as I would not have paid full price. I would not return here.

Came here to try Nepalese for a change to indian. Small friendly with good choice of food, I had the king prawn kerai hot and it was hot but tasty. My partner had the chicken jalfrezi and it was hot also. Got a side salad and one nan, one rice which was more than enough.

We went here with the Meerkat offer.The owner said he didn't know anything about it.Then he said he was asked to participate but declined.He then decided he did participate!!We had pakora starters which had no sauce to accompany them.We then chose a Nepalese dish which was very bland and a tad sweet.We had chicken saag which was way too salty.The garlic naan was very good.After three tables had finished eating he came and announced he only wanted cash!Mass exodus to the bank machine.Surely he could have said earlier on entry.All seemed a bit strange to me.Based on the food taste I won't be back.

Visited Edinburgh for a day trip , went to Ginger Nepali restaurant for dinner. Must recommend to everyone for very good Indian food with less oil.

This is a Nepalese restaurant with a variety of typical dishes on the menus, along with some more familiar from Indian restaurants. Food was good and the service excellent. The general feel is more café-like than is usual for a restaurant, but pleasant and comfortable.

We decided to have a curry here after reading reviews online.The decor is a little sparse and wouldn't be out of place in a small cafe but the owner was welcoming and made us feel at ease quickly. The presence of locals reassured us.The menu is full of options without being too busy and the food didn't take long to arrive after we ordered.The starters were devoured quickly and the main course didn't last too long either.All the dishes were well prepared and very tasty and didn't sit heavily on completion.One of the best curries we've had.

Came her and ordered the Nepalese lamb leg and chicken momos. The lamb was fall apart tender and melts in your mouth it was splendid. The chicken momos has a flavorful filling. Would love to come here again!

La comida estaba bien preparada y servida rápidamente. No es espectacular, pero sabroso. Teníamos biryanis, que eran un poco más de lo que estoy acostumbrado y con una cantidad muy pequeña de salsa para acompañar. Nada malo con él, un poco diferente. Nuestras hijas tenían kormas que les encantó. Durante el festival, sin embargo producir buena comida rápida y eficientemente es una verdadera hazaña!

4 of us on a visit to the to the fringe found a table here for dinner last night. The service was great and we all enjoyed our curry. We chose two vegetarian dishes and a chicken and lamb dish. The vegetarian choices were great and they were nicely spicy.

Been several times before to this restaurant but hadn't been for a while. We were instantly recognised as regular customers and were very well received. Great food, reasonably priced wine, good service.

One of those small buzzing local places that offers tasty well cooked dishes like lamb karai at great prices.

The food was excellent! Big portions for the money. I ordered the mushroom saag not spicy, but it came spicy. The waiter brought the dish again to the table and did not charge me for it. Very good service!

It was raining our first day in Edinburgh and after trucking up the Royal Mile to get to our hotel we were starving! We passed this place on our way to the hotel and being in the mood for Indian food we went back to grab a bite. Our server was friendly and incredibly welcoming (refilled our tea etc) and the food was delicious. The popadoms and spreads were so tasty! Very enjoyable experience and even better, the rain had stopped right as we finished our meal!

We had a very enjoyable lunch here. Definitely recommend the MoMo and the specialty bread. Good service, informal.

My husband and I had a delicious meal in Ginger last night. I had chicken jalfrezi and my husband had lamb Karai. We also had rice, a garlic and a date and ginger naan. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff and so friendly and helpful. I ended my meal with a mango kulfi. The whole meal was absolutely delicious. We will certainly go back.

The food is not only well presented but cooked in a way that is super tasty, there is effort put in the quality. The choice is quite large. The staff is very friendly and really make you feel welcome. Good experience, I'll remember it.

Fantastic restaurant, I can honestly say one of the best Indian meals we’ve had in years. Popadoms the lightest ever, Lamb Karahi was perfect, as was the chicken madras. We will be back even though we’re from Dumfries as it’s a hidden gem

I have strolled past this restaurant many times as it is next to the Captain's Bar near the University and a short stroll from the Royal Mile, and I had been keen to give it a try for quite some time so I suggested it to a friend and we booked it on what turned out to be a wintry Saturday evening in mid-March.

A warm Wednesday evening, our table of 5 were the only ones in. A good mix of choices from a fairly limited menu were made and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The Ginger Special Chicken in dhaal was very good. Thanks!

This is our second visit. We feel welcome the minute we walked in. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with their food. We ask him to surprise by choosing the dishes for us and what a lovely meal we enjoyed very much.

Really friendly and smiley service and homely feel.

We found this restaurant up a lane next to the Festival Theatre and decided to have a meal there before going to see "War Horse". Good decision! Friendly, helpful staff and very tasty food. Lots to choose from. Will definitely visit again if in the area and recommend

The service was great and very friendly. They recommended to order two different dishes so we could taste them both. We had the lamb and chicken with the garlic nan. And it tasted incredible good. Would definitely recommend it!!

We dined here last tuesday evening, had a wonderful meal, we both tried nepalese dishes which were so flavoursome. The spicy poppadoms were also amazing! The service was really good, they accepted our tastecard too which gave us 2 for 1 on our mains. Overall Ginger is well worth a visit if your in the area.

I had king prawn tandoori, it was pretty dry and too little for the price, was hungry afterwards. The waiter also forgot to iron his shirt. My friend liked it though (also the fact that his shirt was not ironed)

4 of us thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful curry. All dishes cooked to order, all delicious and the accompanying sides were lovely. Nice drinks as well! Great service. Ginger truly is a wee gem. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We were looking for a restaurant close to the Festival Theatre as we were seeing Miss Saigon and Chamber Street for parking.

Booked this based on trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The food here is excellent and the service is spot on. The ginger theme was always going to be a winner with us and the ginger rice is ridiculously good! Great little place, highly recommended.

We went to Ginger as a family group of 10 and one young child. We could not have had a better, more positive experience. The food was excellent, the service was first rate, friendly, accommodating and efficient. All in all a it was a very pleasant way to spend an evening and finish our family day out!

Another table had a birthday when we were there. So when the head waiter sang out of tune and off time - the majority of the table had already started the song- we killed ourselves laughing. Then it was our turn, and it happened to us and it was hilarious! Food was great, service a little slow. Waiter offered to take picture of our party, the proceeded to take several on his own phone and only one on our phone. Not once did he ask for permission or explain what the pic would be used for. We assume its for their website, still would've been nice to be asked.

I recently just discovered Ginger and had a brill lunch with a fruend, there's much to discover on the menu, I'll return without a doubt.

Siamo stati qui a cena usufruendo della prenotazione online, comoda e affidabile.

My wife and I payed a visit after a search on here for a good curry house.

Stumbled upon this lovely restaurant because, being a Sunday, the place I was hoping to eat at was closed! Very pleased I did. Nothing fancy but cracking food. As tempted as I was to have a deep fried starter, I didn't and so just had some poppadoms and spicy onion chutney. The chutney was very different to any I've had in 35 years of eating curries. Lovely.

We booked this restaurant because it said it was Nepalese and we fancied something different !Unfortunately there are few dishes that claim to be Nepalese - this is really an Indian restaurant with chicken tikka masala & jalfrezi etc prominent on the menu. The food was however very good and the waiting staff attentive ! We had chosen to eat here because it was also close to the festival theatre -which it is 60 secs away. Overall a good experience just not really Nepalese we felt.

I live nearby and this has become a new favourite restaurant. This is one of Edinburgh’s best curry restaurants, offering excellent Nepali and Indian dishes. The restaurant itself is rather plain, even austere, but the food is the star. The toilet is located downstairs. Located very near to the Old College building of the University of Edinburgh and the Festival Theatre.

I went to ginger restaurant last week with few it my friends I didn’t really like the food but the service was really good and the dessert was excellent

Delicious food served with friendliness and style. Just round the corner from Festival Theatre so excellent location. Clean and simply furnished. Fitting background music.

Excellent food and friendly knowledgeable service. Off menu lamb on bone curry best in many years. Will return and highly recommend to all curry lovers.

A very enjoyable visit from start to finish. A good choice of food and excellent service. My friend is gluten intolerant and was accommodated. A word if warning is that toilets are downstairs which could be a challenge for some people.

This place really surprised me, I have probably eaten the best chicken of my life. The sea bass was great too, and the dessert was delicious. All came at a very good price. If I return to the city I will definitely come back here.

Went here for Christmas Day dinner while visiting Edinburgh. The place was centrally located. It was a small but cosy place, well decorated. The food was tasty and the service was attentive.

I went to this restaurant with few of my friends for dinner . I found this place average . Not that good enough to give 4/5 star. Both food and service was fine just average . I had lamb saag and pilau rice . It was just fine .

L'endroit est simple mais correct...en revanche, le chauffage est éteint lorsque l'on est rentré et le temps que ça chauffe la pièce on avait presque fini de manger..

A must try curry place a bit out of the way but well worth it food is second to none and brilliant service! Wish they had a place in Manchester we would be there every week! The highlight of our Edinburgh trip! Many thanks for a goodnight

Wonderful service, delicious food & friendly atmosphere. Was really surprised at the quality of the food!

The food is so beautifully presented, and is just delicious. Not expensive at all, very much worth the money, and a great experience, with lovely warm friendly staff

Ten of family gathered there to celebrate my 60th birthday. The food and service were both superb. What a lovely ambience in the restaurant. I was gifted a delicious birthday cake from the restaurant and we were all given a complimentary dram. 15/10 well done Ginger!!

Das Essen war traumhaft lecker und auch wir hatten zunächst Zweifel weil es außer uns erstmal keine anderen Gäste gab. Absolut empfehlenswert!!!!

Celebrated my sisters 60th birthday in this fabulous wee restaurant. We were a party of 10 people and all the food presented was delicious. The service was friendly and welcoming. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend - best Indian (Nepalese) food I've ever eaten. Thank you Ginger

We'd never eaten here before but were in town meeting friends and consulted TripAdvisor for a decent restaurant. This was highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. Everything tasted great and the staff were very friendly. Doesn't look like anything from outside but well worth a visit.

Last night, the family and I dropped in to Ginger for our first visit. It was a wonderful surprise to be greeted by an old acquaintance Kumar, who was as friendly and attentive as ever. The restaurant is small, with a simple menu of Nepalese and North Indian specialities. We enjoyed real homemade spiced onion (not the usual pink mass produced stuff) with our poppadoms. My lamb Khurai was delicious and the missus loved the Ginger Special chicken with daal. My oldest daughter loved her spicy Jalfrezie while our 7yr old enjoyed the children's menu chicken Korma.

The Ginger restaurant may look like a small establishment from the outside but from the inside it is a wonderful place to eat. We found the restaurant to be extremely inviting, the food to be amazing and the staff to be extremely friendly.

We were in the City for the weekend and fancied an Indian on Sunday evening. Didn't fancy walking too far and a local guy recommended Ginger, to be honest it would be easy to walk past it as the restaurant is down a side street. Fair to say the outside doesn't shout out "Indian Restaurant, come on in" but once inside you are treated very well, and the food was really tasty/lovely. It's certainly not the usual traditional Indian restaurant and there are many Nepalese dishes on the menu, but if you are in town and fancy something a little different to the usual Lamb Bhuna then we would certainly recommend. Many thanks for a lovely meal.

We spotted this lovely little restaurant tucked away whilst here for a little break , we loved it , cosy and warm on a dark November evening , beautifully presented by happy cheerful staff , the food was tasty and couldn’t be faulted , if sub continent cuisine is your thing , give ‘The Ginger’ a try you won’t be disappointed !

Dropped in on spec and was not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was too. Portions were large, so could not quite finish all the main, but the starter went down a treat.

We were so lucky to find this restaurant. The food was delicious, the menu had some lovely options and the service was excellent. It was my son's birthday and they "dressed up" a carrot cake we brought with fruit, cream, chocolate and candles, so kind as we were all a long way from home! If you are looking for an authentic and tasty meal then do give this restaurant a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Off the main drag where everything is happening, found it by accident, just up a side street. So glad we had trouble finding somewhere to eat as we could not have done better by going in here. Was a bit dubious at first as was empty, but realised that was because it was not on the main street. Our group of four found our dishes to be so yummy, it was quality food and the service was just perfect. The people serving us were very pleasant and sweet. I just wish that that this restaurant was in my home town and I would be there at least twice a week. My daughter and I could not make up our minds what to have so we shared a rice and it separated out tow choices of main. I could not decide which main was best as each time I ate one, that was my favourite and then each time I tried the other, that was my favourite. Definitely would make a point of returning if I visited Edinburgh again.

Very plentiful and tasty food served in a friendly atmosphere.

Was in Edinburgh for a weekend and wanted a nice low-key meal, this was easy to find but felt more like a neighbourhood restaurant than a tourist trap. Food was tasty and reasonably priced, service was also worth a mention as we were greeted warmly and service was attentive. Shared a lovely red wine that was surprisingly cheap .

Très bon resto avec une carte de choix intéressant. Le service est très agréable. Bon rapport qualité-prix.

We found this place by accident. Staff were lovely.

Quite quiet after the festival. Warm welcome as recognised as regular customers. Food was very good and a little bit different tastes going through the food. Nice to have time to talk to the manager.

My partner and i enjoyed a very nice dinner here recently. The curries we had were very good as well as the naan bread - cooked to crispy perfection. Staff friendly. well done.

Un très bon restaurant indien trouvé grâce à Trip Advisor. Des plats savoureux. Un rapport qualité prix des meilleurs.

But otherwise this place was completely unremarkable. The food was pretty much the same as any reasonable Indian on any high street. I was expecting more of a Nepali flavour but that did not come through at least in the dishes we chose. It did what we required but we were underwhelmed.

The website of this restaurant says reservations are recommended. It should be worded more strongly - the dining room seats only 30 and they were turning people away while we were there. Get a reservation or prepare to be disappointed. (I don't mean a long wait, I mean no tables available that day at all).

We were four and had booked a table for four in between two shows at the Fringe. The restaurant owners are very welcoming. The food was great: chicken tandoori, prawns tandoori - both with the sauce in a separate bowl. The ginger chicken was also nice - only a pity that the sauce had already been poured all over it. We prefer the way the Tandoori plates are presented. One of us had some excellent lamb as well, but I don't rememeber the name of that specific plate. We had a very good meal, we'd certainly have another meal in Ginger Restaurant next time we visit Edinburgh.

We ate here about 10:00 PM after a late show at the fringe fesival. The service was friendly, the food very good I was warned the lamd mdras was spicey, but found it to be moderate and tasty. The lamb saag is more appropriate fo those with a taste for less hot foods. Prices are quite reasonable.

What a find...... the team at GINGER were just super great food excellent value and good service is just what every dinner would look for Paneer tikka starter followed by chicken sag with poppadums and nan bread was a simple winner

Worth a visit! Try mo-mo which is an authentic Nepalese snack found in every nook and corner in Nepal, and adjoining Indian states where Nepalese live in abundance. "Khasi ko khutta" aka Lamb/mutton leg...

My partner and I had booked for an evening meal between shows at the fringe. We were asked to move our table into a tight corner on arrival of a large party. It was a bit squashed. I had a lamb saag which was ok and my partner had a chicken jalfrezi who was also just ok. We shared a veg pakora to start which was not served with a sauce. Only a few dots of sauce on the same plate. This may be enough for some but I like to dunk. This is our second time in Ginger but I don't think we'll be back

Really tasty! Chicken Saag and jalfrezihot and spicy, super little restaurant with excellent service and reasonablypriced

Wir waren um 17:30 und es gab keine Gäste. Wir zweifelten erst ob wir dort wirklich essen sollten, haben uns aber auf die Bewertungen verlassen. Es wurde dann aber auch recht schnell voll und alle Tische waren besetzt.

Abbiamo mangiato veramente bene a prezzi ragionevoli. Cucina indiana e nepalese. Servizio cordiale. Consigliato!

Eight of us arrived at 18.15 without a booking and even though the restaurant was already busy they quickly moved two tables together in order to squeeze us in. The service was prompt and the lady waitress was very cheerful. The food is of a very high standard and those that ordered lamb dishes were very pleased with the quality. The restaurant is small and simply furnished but don't let this put you off. Go in, you will not be disappointed.

Yet another excellent Nepalese meal at this little gem of a restaurant which is tucked up off the main road. Never seems very busy which is a great shame as it richly deserves more visitors. We shall certainly return.

Have eaten here a couple of times and enjoyed the food. The food is Nepalese, but some things on the menu were standard Indian food. I had the Ginger special chicken which was lovely, very tasty dish. I also tasted a fish dish and a lamb dish that my companions ate. They were very busy when we were there, and the service was a little slow, but it didn't really matter. The restaurant is basic, but the people were friendly and kind

Was excellent food, great moment to be spent with friends or family! We strongly recommand it to try indian savors.

Ein riesiges Kompliment an die Küche und den Service. Wir waren völlig überrascht von der ausgezeichneten Qualität des Essens, es war sehr autentisch und richtig würzig. Wer "scharf" bestellt, bekommt auch scharf. Einfach top, sehr zu empfehlen. Die Preise sind völlig legitim, sicher einen Besuch wert.

Consigliato e suggerito da amici, una nuova cucina mai prima provata ma sicuramente da ritestare. Il ristorante è semplice, il personale cordiale e il cibo provato veramente buono. Ho mangiato pollo, agnello, formaggio e riso tutti conditi con sughi saporiti e piccanti. Consiglio per spegnere il "fuoco piccante" in bocca un po' mango jogurt.

Run by the previous manager of the Gurkha cafe, and his family. His wife is an excellent cook and food is very tasty and good value. The restaurant is small and based in the University area - book at weekends as it gets busy.

Ero con amici ad Edimburgo e uno di essi mi ha suggerito di andate a cena in questo ristorante. Avevo provato la cucina indiana ma mai quella Nepalese. Le porzioni sono abbondanti quindi nn prendete un piatto a testa ma dividete. L'agnello e il pollo sono buoni (speziati) e il servizio cordiale. Prezzi nella norma.

Used a Groupon voucher and went midweek. Small restaurant and there was only one other table occupied. Service was friendly and food came quickly. Very high quality and very well cooked We will definitely be back

We visited Ginger restaurant this weekend and had a delicious meal. There was a great service from our waiter and we were really pleased with the quality of our food.

I visited the Ginger restaurant with the family our food was very tasty, which included king Prwan tandoori, chicken Korai and the children loved their chilcen tikka and korma dishes, the restaurant was very clean and the food it's a shame it was quiet but we visited mid week, which is a shame when a little walk away all the high street chains were bustling.

From start to finish, a wonderful meal topped only by the gracious service. We had chicken momo, chicken jafrezi, chicken tikka masala, lamb saag, alu gobi, and the cucumber pickles and I couldn't pick a favorite they were all so good. Each dish had a distinct flavor and spicy level. Among the best Nepalese/Indian meals ever. A+++++

Went with my hubby he has been before food is amazing we had Mo Mo dumplings for starter nice, Lamb Saag dam delicious Macha Ko Jhol this is a fish dish o wow amazing ginger rice a Date n Ginger Nan now that was yum yum specially if you love dates service was good and friendly will be back

Food, service and price excellent. Situated in a side street so it could be missed. It is a wee hidden treasure, worth a visit

Me and my friend came here for dinner. We were the only people eating at the time. Our waiter was pleasant and friendly. He made an effort to chat with us and the food was delicious. The price is reasonable for what you get. I would definitely come back.

Nous y sommes arrivés à ce restaurant un peu par hasard après avoir rencontré un groupe qui en sortait, enthousiaste de leur dîner.

Thanks Kumar for a wonderful experience, first time for my parents and wow, how they enjoyed their meal, next time we order the leg of lamb, don't bother with a knife as a blunt spoon would do the trick, the meat just fell of the bone and the portion was enough for two. Thanks for making us so welcome.

This is our second visit to Ginger. We arrive later on Saturday night unsure if we could have a table but a warm welcome, excellent food, friendly helpful staff and not rushed to finish up.

Stunning Indian food. One of the best Indians in edinburgh. The food was outstanding!!! The service was also spot on.

We ordered take out food from this place during our visit as we were staying in an apartment hotel. The food (Vegetable Jalfrzi, Aloo Gobi, Nan bread, Rice and Rait) was very tasty and the portions were large enough that we had left over for lunch. Would highly recommend.

Sitio agradable, sin grandes pretensiones donde comer buena comida india.

Not quite sure what is Nepalese about this Indian/Nepalese restaurant (apart from the gentleman who runs it). Nevertheless the food was lovely and of adequate portions. My husband and I learnt long ago to stop over ordering so we got by on a vegetable briyani and a lamb saag. A beer and a glass of wine got us out for under £30.

my friend and I visited this fabulous Indian/Nepalese restaurant last night and were blown away by the food. This has to be the best food that we have ever eaten-it was delicious and beautifully presented and the lovely gentleman who served us was a superb host. Highly recommended!!!!
