Ginger - Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Wales

I was told I wasn't allowed to order what I wanted because I wanted a side side and rice! I wanted Bindi Masala. I am not a hig eater and currently ona a diet. I wanted a side dish as this is plenty big enough for me one person and with garlic rice. Apparently its not there policy - i HAD to order a MAIN! I tried to explain that thars too much food for me that I wanted smaller size. I've never been told in any Indian restaurant ever that I can't order a side with a rice. In the end as I was so hungry and couldn't be bothered to leave and search for something else, I was told to order a veg brtriani -'as thats a main dish' asoulute rudeness of the waiter also. Made me feel awful. Like I was some cheap skate. Only because I wanted to eat a small dish, so in the end i had a main. The silly thing is a Bindi Masala and garlic rice would have come to the same price more or less anyway. It wasn't as nice either. I didn't enjoy it. It also lacked deep flavour. Lacked veg too. I had to ask for raw chillies to eat with it. I can make better curry! Sorry but the food often disappoints. Lacks flavours. tip make the food the way a authentic Indian chef would 👌🏼

My 2 friends were keeping me company, they weren't eating.. Not hungry. But didn't want me to be alone.. Perhaps this is why the waiter was rude to me/? Still doesn't make it fair. But they still ordered drinks while there. In the end they left out of rudeness from the waiter telling me I couldn't order wanted and they felt judged too..so I ate alone.

My friend Hasan used to run that restaurant back in the day it was good service. He would of been ashamed of what I experienced.

! Never tell a costumer they can't order what they wish! So extremely RUDE.

This is the 2nd time I visited Ginger, the 1st time I was impressed.

How different our visit last night was.

We booked a table for 2. When we arrived we were kept waiting as the restaurant was packed (at 7 o’clock). After about 5 minutes we were taken one of the 2 worst tables in the restaurant, at the back by the kitchen and toilets, along with stacked takeaway boxes. Very noisy.

We ordered at about 7.15 and it took 45 minutes to receive our food, after enquiring it arrived 3 minutes later and not very hot, so it had been sitting around for a while (not great with rice dishes and the risk of bacillus cereus poisoning) it turns out the order was marked as a take away. Waiters passed us frequently, looked at the empty table said nothing and carried on.

The people at the next table who arrived at 7.30 and took 15 minutes to order got their main course as we were half way through our food.

My dishes although not very hot were tasty, but my partners chicken dish with little flavour with bright red food colouring was bland.

When we finished I told the waiter we would not be back, the manager came over and we repeated this, he gave us lame excuses, such as lack of staff and many takeaways.

My advice is not to go to Ginger, but if you do brave it and get taken to the back of the restaurant by the...

As Indian restaurants go, Carmarthen can be very proud with Ginger. Excellent service, lovely food, super fast delivery. I cannot fault this place.

Edit for Summer 2025:

Consistently providing us with rich and tasty takeaways over the last decade, we had another recent opportunity to dine in at Ginger.

This is where Ginger really does shine.

From the moment you enter the establishment, you are treated like royalty. Not just by one person, but by their whole team. Each member is polite, courteous, well dressed and professional. The menu choice is excellent.

Service is also swift but attentive, without ever feeling OTT. Just warm and genuine.

We have been blessed with some fine dining experiences over recent years at some of the UK's best restaurants, so our take on Ginger's excellent service isn't just excellent by local standards - it's top- tier-level 'good' by any metric.

Needless to say, the locals all know how good this place is and it's always busy - even mid-week - so it's best to book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Needless to say, we hope to book...
