Ginger Lounge - (Near , South East)

1 /5 sarah pettitt: Booked a 10pm table mindful that closing time is 11:30 on a a Friday. At 10:45 tried to add a dish to our order and were told we could only have for take away. When our main courses arrived, all staff sat opposite and watched us eat. Some may have found this intimidating, we just finished our wine and were out by 11:10. As soon as we left, the lights were switched off and they followed us out. I assume that business is slow and that’s why the place is shutting early, but given the unwelcoming nature of the staff, I’m not surprised.

5 /5 Tadas: Great atmosphere and lovely vibe. The food was fresh, well presented, and full of flavour. Staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d visit again and recommend to others.

2 /5 James Hazell: Sadly very poor. First impressions are great, very welcoming, very friendly. Then you sit down and realise youve gone tone deaf from the music blasting out. It must have been loud because the waiter took our drinks order and clearly couldnt shout it across to the bar staff so we finished our dinner with nothing and went to the shop nextdoor. The food was so bland we literally couldnt taste anything. We did find it strange that the couple we sat next to had small children that were tucking into everything, no problem. Either theyre used to the Indian spice of a Madras at age 5 or the food was bland. We wasnt being nosy or anything but the tables are that close together we literally felt like part of the family.. The bill was the most extortionate weve ever paid for an Indian with 2 people coming up £80 and they even charge you for the complementary poppadoms and dips!! Likely because they think Upminster is still a high profile area however, the rude-boys wearing their trousers under their arses all loitering out the front would all disagree. Gets 1 star for friendly front of house staff and another for the food being hot. Not spicy. Just hot. Believe me, Ive done reviews for a while, save your money and give this a miss.

5 /5 James Johnson: We had a lovely family meal at Ginger Lounge Indian Restaurant. The food was excellent, very tasty and the service was excellent. My meal was the Bombay Sizzling Tava which is shown in the picture. Surprisingly it was not hot and spicy which is what I was expecting but very flavoursome and really quite mild. We have had a few meals here and enjoyed every meal.
