Although it is hard finding places in the enormous Jamuna Future Park, Garlic 'n Ginger draws you in with its big letters on a wooden sign. It is a unique multicuisine restaurant with exceptional dishes, breath-taking interiors, and impeccable service. Garlic 'n Ginger started with a vision to become a local brand that can compete toe to toe with the foreign franchises in the country in terms of taste and quality. "We want our brand to go international so that we are franchised instead", says Asif Rabbani, managing director of Garlic 'n Ginger.

Stepping in, you are greeted by the staff, and taken to the designated tables. Before heading off to your tables though, take a moment to simply explore the restaurant, and take in the beauty that the structures provide, and explore all the tiny details that make this place truly unique.

Multi Cuisine at its best

Garlic 'n Ginger has everything, from exotic Thai and Chinese cuisine, flavourful Italian pastas, to the zesty flavours of Indian cuisine. However, if you are more into smoked or grilled protein, Garlic 'n Ginger also has their Continental and BBQ arenas. A rare sight to the eyes, but this one of a kind restaurant also serves fast food for those who prefer a quick bite instead of sitting for a full meal, and best of all, they affordable enough for just about anyone.

AN AUTHENTIC JAPANESE EXPERIENCE

Garlic 'n Ginger has an entire section of its menu dedicated to Japanese cuisine, named the Japanese arena. Here, you will find maki, nigiri, soups, noodles, sashimi platters and much more. To add to the experience, Garlic 'n Ginger also provides a sushi belt. The traditional Japanese seating arrangements simply add to the experience.

Vegetable Delights

Vegetarians normally find it hard to eat out given the lack of vegetarian dishes, and if they do find one, there are not as many options. Here though, things are different. A simple phone call is all you need to turn any regular menu item into its vegetarian counterpart. Other than that, vegetable polao, kofta curry, vegetable pakora and many more are always readily available on the menu.

Weekend Buffets

Weekends mean family time and occasional outings, and so, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays Garlic 'n Ginger provides just the right atmosphere for these outings with their buffet arrangements. These buffets not only provide regular platters from the menu, but additional ones as well to make your weekends more special.

Happy Hour Menu

Another noteworthy menu of theirs is Happy Hour, specialised for students who can grab quick lunches between classes that are kept at prices manageable for students. Don't think however, that the menu suffers because of the price because the menu includes delectable dishes like Japanese chicken teriyaki, chicken Mexican burritos and much more. Happy Hours are from Sundays through...

Summary - Avoid planning dinner at this restaurant.

This was my third visit here, but my first time for dinner. After checking their hours online, I saw that they close at 8 pm. To confirm, I called the provided number, and a staff member assured me that since it’s located inside JFP, as long as I entered before 8 pm, I could dine there until around 10-10:30 pm. Based on this, I made plans to have dinner with my family.

We arrived at 8 pm, only to be told by the staff that we would need to leave by 9:30 pm. When I mentioned the call, they dismissed it as if I was making it up. Despite this, we went ahead and ordered appetizers. Soon after they arrived, a staff member informed us that the kitchen would close in five minutes (by 8:30 pm). At that point, I regretted staying but continued with the meal as I was with my mother, who has difficulty walking, and we had no other dinner plans.

We ordered the main course, but the staff’s attitude made it clear they wanted us out. They even started turning off the restaurant lights, carrying out trash nearby, and generally making us feel unwelcome. Left with no choice, we asked them to pack our food, so it wouldn’t go to waste. I had hoped for a nice dinner with my family, but this experience completely ruined it. I wouldn’t return here, not even if they offered...

Asking advance on ifter booking which is other buffet don’t ask. Even other thry ha asked but didn’t given. Especially on pick time ask on the unprofessional way though we were had our buffet once.

4 hours before of event insisting to confirm exact participants. I told them how do i assure who unable to come by chance but they told then you have to pay.

They started asking guest of their child age. How embarrassing it for host.

Food was full with unimportant dish. You never identify which is signature dish.

Such a 1600 taka buffet full with broiler chicken. One of the main dish with beef . Have Beef strew with half done.

No mutton with such high price of buffet.

Fruits seems market lowest quality had been served. Such a watermelon season served a white colour half of whole watermelon.

They refill with small amounts- like one plate, the items has been finished. They waited people loose their patience and go away from food.

One thing I noticed those are arguing for refill they treat them differently, served them food on table so that refill didn't require.

This seems trap zone once you come even drink a glass of water have to pay 1600 taka. so food refill or good dish served out of their mind. So careful to choose...
