Ginger Restaurant

Turned up for our pre-booked table only to find the restaurant closed. Nothing to say why on the premises. Have heard really good things about it so disappointed.

Lovely little place, great service. Food is excellent and at a reasonable price. The Nepalese dishes are lovely and certainly worth a try. Very big portions. You won’t be left wanting after a meal here.

Lovely little restaurant for a pre-theatre meal. Food was great and not too busy.

Tucked away in a side street but worth finding. Basic decor but very clean. The food is very fresh and good and the service is friendly.

Lovely fresh ingredients. Good service and central for Edinburgh fringe locations. We always pre-book to be sure of a table as it can get very busy.

Excellent little restaurant. Great food, great staff, great location. What more could you want?! You might miss this little gem up a small side street in the city but I highly recommend that you pay it a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Very warm welcome awaits you at Ginger. Central location comfortable surroundings. Food very tasty although not huge portions. Will definitely return when we are visiting again.

Lovely restaurant and truly fantastic food. The service was exceptional and we couldn’t have been made more welcome. Can’t wait to go back here again.

Great food and service from Kumar and team - as always. Chicken MoMo for starters were delicious and the lamb karai was excellent and very fresh. Unusual to find date nan but they were very tasty.

All 4 of us enjoyed lovely food at Ginger last night and although the restaurant was less than half-full, we had to wait a while for our dishes to be served - perhaps this means they were all freshly cooked, which makese the wait worthwhile. However, the rice was served a little after the main courses, so that their temperature was lower than it should have been by the time the rice was served. The restaurant could do with having heated trays on the table to keep the dishes at least warm. And we all would have liked dips for the starters to be served in self-service bowls, rather than in tiny splodges served on each person's plate.

Decor basic. But it was all about the food! Curry was excellent. Pakora very good . Tandoori Prawn starter 'dry'. Will definitely return. Thank you

Excellent, number one Indian restaurant. We visit this restaurant every time that we are in Edinburgh, food and flavours are excellent. No rush to eat.

Useful location near the Festival Theatre meant a more relaxed meal before an opera, with quiet, unobtrusive, friendly service and interesting food. My companion had been before to this fairly new place and was keen to go again; I could understand why.

Lovely food , friendly staff , great service. Will be back soon.

The food was excellent, freshly prepared and perfect size of portion. The restaurant is quite small, very comfortable and nice and warm. The waiter was welcoming and attentive. Location is very handy for the Potterrow area of Edinburgh University.

This is the second time we have dined at the Ginger Restaurant. On each time, the food has been excellent and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Excellent meal, lovely flavours, well presented and just delicious! This restaurant is a great place to enjoy a curry. Must recommend the special Ginger chicken. In fact, the 4 of us dining together thoroughly enjoyed it all. Very good service as well. Cannot commend Ginger highly enough. Any curry lover should visit.

A delicious meal, freshly cooked and delicately flavoured. I particularly liked the date and ginger nan bread- the ginger theme is threaded through the menu. Pleasant staff, maybe a little slow but that means the food is fresh. I'll be back.

Lovely casual dining restaurant, service was excellent. Food was very tasty indeed, we both had a curry.Would definitely visit again when we are next in Edinburgh.

A friendly restaurant, down to earth service and tasteful dishes. As I was waiting for my companion, it was suggested that a snack may be ordered in the meantime. I can recommend wholeheartedly.

Disappointed that the menu did not contain more Nepalese dishes on the menu! If we wanted “Indian cuisine we would have booked into one . Food ok though . Very close proximity to the theatre !

Very authentic subtly spiced delicious curries - with the lamb on the bone being outstanding. Superb service and lovely atmosphere. Good value for money. Very handy for pre-theatre meal if going to the Festival Theatre. Thoroughly recommended.

Friendly staff. Beautiful, tasty food. Good portions but not too much. Lovely dips with the popadoms. Pleasant surroundings. Restaurant easy to find - 10 minutes walk from Waverley Station.

We felt very welcome by the whole staff. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. High quality service. The food was amazing. Overally great value. We would highly recommend you visit the ginger restaurant!

Service was good and so was the ambience. Most of the food very good and enjoyed the draught beer.But the tarka dahl was very salty.

This place is a real Gem, Beautiful food, lovely unpretentious atmosphere - staff are just tremendous Cant wait for next visit. Has to be one of Edinburgh's best

Food was very tasty, but one dish was served luke warm. All the main courses were served in cold bowls. Service was excellent. We saw the delivery man (at 6pm) caring a huge bag (the size of a coal bag) of chicken breasts through the front door. A little off-putting!

Wonderful food and atmosphere. No rush to finish and the flavours are excellent. Handily placed for theatres and the centre of town. Will definitely visit again.

Basic decor with simple tables and chairs. However the food is awesome and is always served with a smile. This place is a hidden gem.

Curries were great, unusual naan and rices as options, and these worked extremely well with the curries, plus some of the best mango lassi. Overall, highly recommended

Amazing mo mos and curry. Fabulous service thanks so much Try the Nepalese beer tastes amazing x x x x x x x x Jane

Food and service was excellent. the only downside is that the restaurant is a bit small, however some people like the more intimate feel. I would definitely recommend the Gurkha beer.

Clean, good service, tasty sauces with chicken korma and lamb dish, although sauce flavours had not permeated meat. Overall great value during Fringe, convenient pretheatre stop.

Excellent and tasty food with nice service. We all enjoyed our meals very much. This is a terrific restaurant and one we will return to again.

Ginger is a real find! Delicious Nepalese food, beautifully presented and served by the nicest folks you could wish for. Totally unpretentious surroundings all make for a great time.

Ginger is a Restaurant well worth a visit it is tucked away up a side street but the food excellent and very reasonable prices. The staff are very friendly. I certainly will be visiting again.

Hadn't heard of this restaurant before but what a little gem of a place to find. The food was amazing. Staff were freindly and accomodating. Will definitely be back on a regular basis.

An excellent little Indian & Nepalese restaurant just round the corner from the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. Fresh tasting light starters and what appeared to be freshly cooked mains. Would recommend highly, particularly for pre or post theatre meal.

A lovely experience. We had two wheelchairs in a group of four people and Kumar could not have been more helpful. My only reservation is the amount of salt in the food but that seems to be standard in all of this type of cuisine.

We booked the table in advance but had to wait for 15 mins to be sitted. Then no high chair was provided despite of request. They didn't inform us earlier about this. To add icing on the cake, they called me half way through the Dinner and asked if I will be coming to the restrau or not?? Epic!! Food was average. Not close to authentic Indian food. I would not recommend this place if you want a good service and authentic indian food.

A worthy contender for the Indian Restaurant of the Year (though it's actually Nepalese!). A lovely meal for three of us, all with different starters and mains, all perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. We'll be back - again and again.

What a great find Ginger was. Food was excellent, service was really friendly too. Decor not great but don't let that put you off, you will get a delicious meal here!

A clean, straightforward dining experience. The service was polite and efficient and the food was delicious. The spiced onions were incredibly spicy but the flavours were impressive, perhaps have the raitha on hand to accompany it. Prices were very reasonable too, so all told a worthwhile place to go for dinner.

The place is very small but a nice atmosphere! The food is amazing and the staff is very nice and welcoming! I would definitely go back :)

Great food & fantastic service. A bit out of the way but worth the effort. Surprised by the standard of the food & great value too. Xx

The vegetarian meals both parties had were very tasty. A feast of poppadoms, starters of paneer tikka and very good vegetable pakora followed by saag mushroom and a paneer dish. The staff were attentive and pleasant. Overall an enjoyable dining experience!

Well worth seeking this little gem out. Excellent flavours and very well presented dishes. Very courteous and helpful staff, would definitely come again and sample some more of the menu

Just there for a quick dinner pre-theatre but we really enjoyed the experience. It is not a big place so we were glad we had booked a table. The poppadoms and pickles were lovely, and the main dishes and accompaniments were very tasty too. The portions were just right for us (senior citizens) and we ate the lot. Very satisfied with the quality and service. Just one minor issue - we would like to have shared a vegetable side dish but there wasn't much on offer in this respect; although such things were on the menu as vegetarian main dishes.

Lovely food . Fresh food which was very tatsty and a bargain with the groupon voucher . Will definatley return here again either to sit in or take away

Great flavours and reasonable prices. This may not be the most glamorous of restaurants when it comes to interior décor. However the staff a friendly, place is spotlessly clean and the food is much better than other places in the area.
