Ginger Tree - Inside - dessert buffet section

Ginger Tree

(1 review)

My work colleague suggested this buffet place as a decent place to grab lunch and described it as a…read morebuffet with both Chinese and Indian food options. This actually aroused my curiosity about such a hybrid, but lack of restaurant options not being that huge, decided to go. It's a massive space, and we were seated quickly and I headed to the entree/ starter section of the buffet which had a Chinese section (spring rolls, etc) and an Indian section. (Bhajiya, poppadums, etc). Of the options here, I thought pepper fish and pakora were the best - the ribs tasted really tough and so ended up just leaving those on the plate. My next foray was to the Indian part of the buffet, which was heaps smaller than the Chinese - the Indian dishes numbered around 7, while the Chinese buffet dishes easily were around 15-20. Of the options here, the lamb really was the best option, but the rice was super dry. I saw that the chicken dishes (there were x3) were in a very oily looking sauce, so avoided them. Then I headed back to buffet for some Chinese options (fried rice, noodles, pork in 5 spice, stir fried broccoli, chicken in black bean sauce, etc- these were def better tasting then the Indian, but some of the meat pieces I got tasted dry and also sometimes the salt was too much for my palate. The selection of dessert cakes was and sweets was quite large, but the portion itself was quite small. Ice-cream was also available, but I ended up trying the banana custard, and a small cake. Both tasted okay. All in all, I did get fed, and for a decent price too (£7.99 per person), however am unsure if would go back here again.

Wow, nice little jewel in the crown in a strange location, next to an Esso garage on the busy A5!…read moreBut if you're up for good quality Indian cuisine and excellent service, then put this place on your list. It's certainly not a cafe (don't know who called it that!) it's Simla Indian Restaurant - the best in the Midlands!! Excellent starter of tempura prawns gave me 3 king prawns with a sweet chilli dip and a pesto sauce, just in case. I ordered a bottle of South African Pinotage to wash it all down - and when the main course arrived I certainly wasn't disappointed! This place claims to be the best Indian restaurant in the Midlands - and I certainly have no reason to dispute that claim. Very, very impressive, hence the 5 stars awarded!! And, to finish, a chocolate roulade (I was going to have the raspberry but the waiter recommended chocolate...) and it was sweet and tastyish... but no, too manufactured so don't try it! This restaurant is far too good to have a bought-in roulade on the menu, so try one of the fresh Indian dishes instead!! Now that's REALLY fair - I asked for the bill and when it arrived the waiter told me he'd not charged me for the dessert because it was his recommendation and I didn't like it so much. Really good place (and the loos are spotless) so I'd definitely recommend you try it.
