Ginger Leaf

I am not the one keen at posting reviews but doing so for all those from Lahore who reside in Jeddah and miss traditional food. Indian restaurants in KSA are managed by South Indians who know nothing about the North Indian cuisine like nihari. We are used to the Delhi delicacies that no one can match but with no choice available, decided to check “Ginger leaf”. Only consolation being the big name behind, “Hilton” and before there was an Iranian restaurant “Shahrzad” and I always enjoyed its fine dining. Restaurant ambiance is the known “Hilton” legacy but the taste? And when we saw waitresses of different origin, wondered how will they understand the need? But they did. We were three families that means a bill of SR 3,200 plus SR 500 for the tip _____ we experienced not only the taste, being chartered accountants, recovered the value for money as well. Everything was superb. Nihari, mutton chops, dhaba kebabs, bhuna gosht and the fish platter. Biryani was not good as the addicted taste of “Bombay or Sindhi biryani” can never be compromised. But for foreigners, biryani is recommended. Nihari was something; not only the taste but the presentation. Meat was from the undercut part (bong) juicy and tender. The only problem that nihari was not sizzling that’s what the requirement is. Ginger leaf was a superb dining experience and we remain grateful and committed to visit again, but next time ______ no cold nihari, please

Food tastes good but could b better as being an Indian, I must say it

One of the best Indian food dinners I have had in Jeddah. All thanks to the scrumptious food of this restaurant, I am finally sated of my yearning for good authentic Indian meal since the lockdown!!! My husband took me out to Ginger Leaf for my birthday dinner for a wholesome Indian meal. The dahi papdi chaat was lip smacking!! We had aloo Bukhara and butter chicken and they were so yummy we also made a takeaway. The warmth of the hosts was beyond the five star ambience and they made sure I had a great great birthday dinner date. Special thanks to Nadeem and team for amazing hospitality.

Best part was the kebab assortment.

The restaurant is situated on Hilton Jeddah. Really serious Indian food. We had starters and main course. All the plates were excellent regarding the presentation and the quantity of food. Spicyness were really graduated for every plate. The restaurant atmosphere were calm. Staff were very good regarding recommendations and service. And value for money were really convenient. However do not expect to have quality food without paying the right amount. Overall a great experience.
