Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Chicken in peanut sauce..... yum yum and nothing like satay chicken. The duck starter was also great. The lamb xxxx under slchef specials was magnificent and was sweet but a kick of line and heat that was nice but nt over powering. If you had...to pick a fault I would say they could be confident with how hot the dishes were but as they will accommodate requests this is not a problem. Service is brilliant Thank you for a brilliant night night and nice to see classic dishes with a few I had not had before.More

I had been let down by a booked dinner at the White Hart Hotel so had to search for an alternative. So, completely out of the blue, I turn up at Blue Ginger, ask for a menu and to take it away to show my...wife - still sitting at the hotel and ask if I can have an immediate reservation - not expecting to be helped. Quite the reverse. The manager was more than helpful and reserved me a table for two. I rushed back to escort my wife to Blue Ginger and the excellent service began. Table laid in a jiffy, menus provided and selected wine within minutes. Our chosen starters and main courses were delivered soon after and both were delicious. I cannot fault the attention to detail, the charm and willingness to provide great customer service and our food and wine was top notch - and I am quite picky! During our stay it was quite obvious that there were many repeat customers and the phone was ringing quite a lot. So much so that it was clear that we had been very lucky to squeeze in. So, give it a go, but I recommend that you book and I doubt you will be dissatisfied by the food, drink and service.More

Lovely Indian restaurant. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. All the dishes were very good apart from the butter chicken, which was odd - a lot of coconut.

We found Blue Ginger in Whitchurch through an online search. We had just arrived from Los Angeles and staying at Norton Park. Restaurant was a little hard to find in a small quiet village on a dark historic street. Luckily we didn’t give up. We...were greeted immediately ordered an Indian beer (on tap) they brought us papadam with several condiments. Our chicken green curry, lamb vindaloo, Biryani rice, cauliflower and garlic naan (freshly baked) were all delicious. Vindaloo is supposed to be spicy and didn’t disappoint. The highlight however was Francis, the owner who chatted with his customers like they were family. He explained to us when he stopped by our table that over the years he has watched many of the kids grow up and they remain customers. If you are in the area please stop by Blue Ginger. Highly recommend! (Wish we had taken pictures)More

Despite being busy they accommodated us and as always the food and service was amazing. The fact that we were remembered from nearly 5 years ago was incredible… such awesome customer service- we’ll be back. Much love from the Isle of Wight. ❤️

We had a takeaway for 5 on Saturday night. To begin with the food wasn’t hot enough. Nothing was spicy, all the curries tasted the same, so mild. We only ordered one mild chicken curry, the rest were meant to be medium to hot. The...raita was pure yoghurt and not raita at all. My son had a Chicken Madras which is meant to be ‘HOT’ but it had no heat at all. Very disappointed.More

My husband and I were staying in the area for the night, we went to restaurant on a Friday night with no reservation, but the owner said he could squeeze us in as they had a spare table for a couple of hours. The food...was amazing, spicy and full of flavour. We both tried something we've never had before and was not disappointed, I had a lamb bhujon, which was very tender and full of flavour, my husband had a chicken rezella,very flavoursome. The staff were polite and friendly, we were told not to feel pressured in rushing our meal and drinks, the service was quick and efficient and while we were there the restaurant filled up very quickly, lucky to get in.More

Myself and several friends met up here for young Ben's 21st birthday. We were all welcomed warmly, and once all seated, our orders were taken. I personally chose meat samosas for a starter, and King prawn Balti for my main course, all washed down with...a pint and a half of Cobra beer. The food was very tasty,and not overpoweringly spicy either. I think we as a party all left happy with the service, the food, and the hospitality, and we will have absolutely no hesitation in booking here again Well done Blue Ginger 😃👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️More

The atmosphere was good and the staff were really friendy. The service was quick. Unfortunately we found the food quite bland. We ordered the chicken momos and the butter chicken. Both dishes didn't have any indian flavour to them and the butter chicken was very...sweet.More

Stopped in this little village for a weekend break to do the Bombay Sapphire Gin Tour. Took a chance on this little Indian Restaurant and was not disappointed. Great food and excellent friendly service. Good choice of dishes for all spice pallets too.

Eaten here many times. No complaints, just feel that should be informed of service charge prior to ordering. Always left a generous tip, but sadly no more.
