Indian food cooked and served by people from India. We had a 2 year old and the staff was super nice to him. Service was great. When server asked how spicy, I asked enough to make me cry, and I did. If you like things spicy they will but still taste great. Others had mild dishes. The best desert are the donuts in honey water. Nice change if looking for something different. We all had a very enjoyable time. read more

Best Indian around Everything is amazing from the Chaat to the Lamb Marsala- can't go wrong!!

We came here for the first time over the weekend, because Saffron was closed. Glad we did, because the food was really tasty! We got the garlic naan, vegetable samosas, mango lassi, lamb vindaloo, and lamb rogan josh. The garlic naan and samosas needed more seasoning, and the mango lassi was close to room temperature. The entrees though were really outstanding though with lots of flavor and tender meat. Rice was soft and cooked just right. Portions were large enough for leftovers. You know you've had good Indian food when you have heartburn the next 36 hours. Well worth it, and there are many dishes to try. Prices were reasonable, and they have specials throughout the week for extra value. I would come back to try some of their other items. I'll mention that service was pretty lackluster. With all the dishes we ordered, our finished plates weren't cleared until the end of our meal, and our server didn't really check on us. We waited around a good bit for our server to order, get boxes, and get the bill. Otherwise, it was a nice experience. read more

The food here is amazing!!! The service is great and the wait time for food was very reasonable.

We stopped here for lunch a week ago. We liked the restaurant, it was clean compare to some other Indian restaurants. We ordered appetizers which took a long time and came a couple minutes before the main course. Food was good, however even the medium spicy was a bit to spicy and the rice they use was the cheap jasmin rice instead of Basmati rice which is the most common rice that all Indian restaurant uses. Overall the food was tasty but service was slow read more

Absolutely the worst service. Menus are stained with sticky sauces. Last time we came, my wife got her food and I waited for 15 minutes waiting on mine. By the time my dish was served my wife had already finished her meal. We told the waitress that the service could be improved upon and she told us we should have requested that our food should be served together! WTF? So, we gave them another try today and watched customers come in after us get their appetizers and food before we even had our appetizers. We walked out hungry and pissed. read more

They now have a C rating on the door. I really did love their food, it had lots of flavor and great taste. Look up what all entails that rating on the door. read more

Indian food is something that I have always longed to try, but never had a god opportunity until a friend brought me to this place. First off, the menu was pretty huge so it could help to have someone who knows how to navigate it. I wish I was able to keep track of everything we ordered, but it was so much. Some of the meals come in a family style which I enjoy and recommend because it allows for a more cohesive meal. The naan that came with the meals was absolutely delicious and complemented the chicken well. I do know we ordered the butter chicken which was well worth along with some delicious sauce. All in all, I can't wait to try out this place again as I've realized Indian food has been a missing puzzle piece in my life. read more

I ordered using Uber eats. Ordering an Uber eats was easy and will explain. I ordered Hakka noodles, a cheese omelette, cheese naan, and kheer for dessert. I asked for no onions in my omelette (there was none) and no onions in my Hakka noodles (there were several). The food taste amazing. I loved all the spices in the noodles and simplicity of the cheese omelette, but it was still really good. The dessert I'd had a week previously at a friend's event. And it did not disappoint this time. My order arrived on schedule, but I was not given any napkins or utensils to eat with. I would order again from them, but I would probably do dine in or take out myself. An my order arrived on schedule, but I was not given any napkins or utensils to eat with.

Wow, we loved it. We don't eat desserts, but we did here! We don't go back for seconds, but we did here! This was some of the most authentic Indian food we have ever had, just like what we enjoyed in India. Certainly the best Indian food we have had in South Carolina. It's a large buffet with lots of piping hot options, and between the two of us we tried almost everything. The naan was marvelous and the rice pancakes went so well with chicken Marsala. Service was excellent. We will definitely come here again and we're told the Saturday and Sunday buffets are even larger! read more

2Gingers - Koyla Mutton - Indian Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

2Gingers holds a special place in my heart. This was the first restaurant I dined in when I moved here last year, and even though I live 35min away I've been at least once a month since. The menu is massive, the food is authentic, and the employees are very courteous. The Korma w/ goat, the Laal Mas, and the Vindaloo are my go-to dishes. Word to the wise - they ask how spicy you want your food between a 1-6, and their spice doesn't mess around. I ordered a 6 once and it was a lot, so I usually stick with 5 because I love spicy. My daughter ordered a 2 and it was way too much for her. Also, their garlic Naan is delicious and is always a great accompaniment to any order. read more

I came here with 2 other friends. We got seated pretty quickly. One waitress came by and asked us if we wanted anything to drink. Then another waitress came by and asked us the same thing. The first one came back to confirm our drink. After this, the first waitress came back with our drinks and the second waitress followed by asking what we wanted to eat. I ordered a dosa and also a channa bhaturra with an extra bhaturra to go. My 2 friends ordered their food. After we ate we hate to flag down the waitreess 3 times for the check. After not recieving the check for approx 30 minutes. I just walked up to the cashier and asked to pay. He read our order, but never recieved my channa bhaturra with an extra bhaturra. I wasn't going to wait another 30 minutes for them to make it. One of my friends ordered a dessert and they forgot about it. Then they said they charged us twice for the dessert and gave her 2 servings. I would only recomend this place if you have 2.5 hours to spare. The food was amazing and I wish I could have only tipped the cooks. read more

The food was delicious! One of my favorite meals is Egg Curry. You can't find it everywhere so I was pleased to find it on the menu. It took a little while to get in and out but there was only one guy handling all of the tables. If you consider that he was alone then his service was pretty good. We had a great meal! read more

I'm going to give this spot 3 stars since I haven't tasted the food, so my review will be based on the service. The pictures of the food look great and the menu is huge so my partner and I decided to pick up food on our way to Greenville. I called a few times to place the order but no one answered, and eventually it went straight to voicemail. When I called the extension for general questions, I spoke to a lady who redirected me to the delivery services they use. I ordered via Grubhub, and upon arrival, the worker told me they never received the order, that this has happened before, and I need to call Grubhub directly to get my money back. I was pretty upset since I ordered from Grubhub as a last resort because she did not feel like taking my order via phone. I explained this and the owner interjected and immediately got defensive. We never received a "sorry," or any sort of accommodation. He leaned over the counter as he was getting upset with us, WITHOUT a mask. I understand not all places have a mask mandate, but everyone else had one, and it did not make me feel safe at all. I especially did not like him coming closer to me when he was the only one in the restaurant who did not have one. The mixup was not their fault, but I did not feel that this was dealt with gracefully or nicely. I felt the need to express that no one answered their takeout extension (the place was nearly empty) and they did not express any sort of apology; they made it feel like it was our fault. At the end, the first worker was on the phone trying to get our order from Grubhub and the owner tried to get our order (only then) as we were walking out. At that point, we were very put off with their service and the no-mask thing that we decided to keep driving and find another place. read more

Variety is the key for Buffett-they serve like anything.. they show in the TV - Cricket which Asian Indians love to watch Good people who serve are Parth and Archana - to mention a few it is highly recommended to visit - the taste is good for Dosai Lot of groups keep coming there almost different groups on the weekend read more

2Gingers - Indian Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Even though Columbia is a culinary wasteland, every once in a while you will find a hidden gem that blows away any expectations. Case in point is 2 Gingers and their extensive options for Indian food that goes beyond your typical Tika, curry and Masala dishes. I had the Haka noodles for the 2d time and it's one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had. Not sure if I've ever seen this in any other restaurant, but it's DAMN GOOD. It's a mix of spices, and crispy chicken tandoori tossed in an el dente noodles. It's a must try and makes about 4 servings considering it's size. read more

2Gingers - Haka Noodles and Cheesy Chili Naan - Indian Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Ended up at 2Gingers because Saffron was closed. But that's okay because I really enjoyed the food at 2Gingers! And I'm not a huge fan of Indian food. We ended up getting the mango lassi, samosas, garlic naan, lamb vindaloo, and goat Rogan Josh. Prices were pretty reasonable with big portions. The garlic naan was pretty bland. The mango lassi was lukewarm. The vindaloo and rogan josh were delicious though. Very flavorful and tender, with a good amount of meat. Another issue was the service. We ended up having to wait a lot, whether it be for getting our initial drink orders, the boxes, bill, etc. I would still visit again, because the entrees were well made and I'm curious to try more of their menu items. read more

The wait was long, but is was well worth. The food was delicious. That takes in account, the coconut rice, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori chicken,Poori,Tandoori Roti, vegetable Biryani Desert Gulab Janun and Kulfi /Malai. Too bad we live to far away. We definitely will come back if we are in S. Carolina again read more

Would give negative points for service. Waited 3 hours when they repeatedly stated 20 more mins. They Ruined a birthday party by not saying the truth. 3rd time where I waited 1+ hours for food. 2 stars are for the food. It's not bad just inconsistent. read more

Pass... food was dry and caused everyone belly problems. Service was great and only reason for the 2 stars they did get.

Tandoori chicken, house chicken curry and garlic naan were delicious. The service we received was good and very friendly.

Check this place out when in Columbia. They were busy when we went and for a good reason! Very flavorful and authentic food, good size portions. I would 10/10 recommend getting the cheese naan. (Seriously...get it.) Staff was kind, nothing outstanding. Our waiter stopped by once to check in and then bring the check, understandable as they were very busy. However I will send my compliments to the chef! I will definitely be returning the next time I visit Columbia. read more

The variety is nice, whether you're in the mood for vegetarian or a meat dish. Try the Rasam soup ( it's vegetarian) but OMG Amazing! I get it EVERY time I come. It's a must have. I have loved every single dish I've tried. They have 6 levels of heat so you can have your food mild enough for young kids or hot enough to make you sweat. You know it's got to be good when you see elderly Indian couples coming to dine. This is the place for amazing Indian food. They have a buffet, I think but I've never been here for it. And Thursday's they have a special on Dosa. ( not sure what that is, I'll have to come some Thursday and find out) read more

. Before I get into detail about the food, I would like to start by saying this was the best customer service I've ever experienced. I walked into the restaurant on Bush River Road and I had no idea what anything was on the menu. My server was kind enough to explain everything to me and to show me all of the vegetarian options. He even made several suggestions for me and let me know exactly what was in each dish. He was very patient with me and constantly came back to check to see if there was anything else that I needed. It was an awesome experience. The food was amazing as well. I had the vegetable samosas which were made with potatoes and peas. The samosas were so good that I had to make two orders. It was seasoned perfectly.I also ordered the garlic Naan. It tasted like roti with olive oil and fresh garlic, but I'm not exactly sure how it is made. I will definitely make this a side item every time I order. For my entree, I ordered the Spinach Saag. The Saag was very rich and flavorful and accented with chickpeas and served with rice. Also, my entrée was spiced just how I liked it... My server asked how spicy I wanted it on a scale of 1 to 6. Everything was great I am definitely going to make a trip back to this restaurant for lunch because the folks there told me that they offer a buffet with the mini vegetarian/vegan options on it. read more

If you are considering it, just go! Just whoah! I am blown away by the flavors at this restaurant. I ordered the Mushroom Salt & Pepper and the Rasam Soup. You cannot go wrong here unless you don't like spicy (if so order mild on the mushrooms, medium is still pretty hot for me but I like it!). I've ordered the Gobi Paratha (cauliflower stuffed naan) which was packed with flavor (I got it without butter as I go vegan). Waiter recommended the Aloo Paratha (mashed potato naan), says he eats it every day, which I will try next time! I ate it wish my soup and on it's own. Speaking of which, the service is always great, staff are very helpful in their recommendations. Also, each staff person are very friendly. The restaurant is a cute spot, classic with plenty of seating. The space feels really good and the restaurant has a very home style vibe. Overall, fantastic! Stop wasting your time and pull up. read more

I have been coming to 2Gingers regularly over the last five years and have been consistently pleased with the service and food. This evening I ordered the Lamb Dopiaza with Garlic Naan. After ordering, papadum was brought with three dipping options mint, onion and tamarind chutney. Each was fresh and delicious. The mint chutney was cool, spicy and fresh. After enjoying the papadum, the food was brought out timely and hot. The lamb was cooked with a medium spice level and was what I would expect for a medium spice level. The curry exceeded my expectations. The lamb was tender and the onions, spices and cilantro came together, bursting with flavor. The naan had just come out of the tandoori oven, and was buttered with garlic and cilantro. I will be dining at 2Gingers the next time I'm in Columbia. read more

Went here for lunch Saturday, based on a recommendation from a co-worker. We were a bit late, arriving around 1:00PM so it wasn't real buys, although there were probably 10 cars or so in the parking lot. Immediately were seated in a booth. I'm not familiar with all of the names on Indian food, but always looking to try new food. We weren't sure what we were going to order, but they had a luncheon buffet set up for $12.95. Figured we'd sample the buffet rather than order from the menu. They have an evening buffet on Wednesdays. Buffet throughout the week during lunch (or you can order from the menu). The first buffet to the left is a vegetarian buffet with a couple of soups. Then there are desserts. To the right is another meat buffet with chickens, goat, rice and a saucy shrimp, among other things. Can't tell you what I ordered since I can't remember it, but I tried several of the vegetarian dishes. One seemed to taste like juicca but with a bright orange coloring to it (and also quite spicy). They had a Mulligatawny soup that was excellent, along with a type of small bread (round, sort of crisp outside, pancake-like) that was very good. On the meat side I the tandoori chicken was very good, another chicken Bhutrin or something like that (with rice) was excellent, a chicken in curry sauce. The shrimp were baby shrimp but very tender and not overcooked. Have to say the food was very good. Both my wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly and would go back. I was impressed at how often they checked on us to see how the food was and the cleanliness of the buffet. One of the workers was always up there cleaning up around the buffet....much different than some of these buffets we've been to at smaller restaurants. Great place. Highly recommend it. read more

We were visiting the area and found this restaurant. One of the first things that caught my eye was the menu. It had both Indo-Chinese and traditional Indian dishes. There are not many restaurants that can do Indo-Chinese well. Overall, the prices are very reasonable but the dishes could have been much better. We ordered the Half Fry which I was surprised to see on the menu. This is not the Half Far that I was expecting. It's basically two eggs sunny side up. Then we ordered the MANCHURIAN DRY and BAIGAN BARTHA. The Manchurian dry was not cooked from the inside, it was like eating raw dough that was cooked from the outside only. The Baigan Bartha had more peas than Baigan. Overall very disappointed. The only reason for the three stars is because of the wonderful service. read more

Ordinary spot for generic Indian food Prices are higher than competitors nearby, especially after a 2 dollar increase on all meat, which is NOT reflective in the online menu. Waitstaff, while nice, seem to be lethargic and confused. If you're craving Indian food, this will satisfy you-nothing more or less. The tandoori items are quite alright. read more
