   Who doesn't love a curry especially on a Wednesday night they do 4 course for £16 which is popular. Staff are awesome and I've never had a bad meal

   Booked a 10pm table mindful that closing time is 11:30 on a a Friday. At 10:45 tried to add a dish to our order and were told we could only have for take away. When our main courses arrived, all staff sat opposite and watched us eat. Some may have found this intimidating, we just finished our wine and were out by 11:10. As soon as we left, the lights were switched off and they followed us out. I assume that business is slow and that’s why the place is shutting early, but given the unwelcoming nature of the staff, I’m not surprised.

   Sadly very poor. First impressions are great, very welcoming, very friendly. Then you sit down and realise you've gone tone deaf from the music blasting out. It must have been loud because the waiter took our drinks order and clearly couldn't shout it across to the bar staff so we finished our dinner with nothing and went to the shop nextdoor. The food was so bland we literally couldn't taste anything. We did find it strange that the couple we sat next to had small children that were tucking into everything, no problem. Either they're used to the Indian spice of a Madras at age 5 or the food was bland. We wasn't being nosy or anything but the tables are that close together we literally felt like part of the family.. The bill was the most extortionate we've ever paid for an Indian with 2 people coming up £80 and they even charge you for the complementary poppadoms and dips!! Likely because they think Upminster is still a high profile area however, the rude-boys wearing their trousers under their arses all loitering out the front would all disagree. Gets 1 star for friendly front of house staff and another for the food being hot. Not spicy. Just hot. Believe me, I've done reviews for a while, save your money and give this a miss.

   Food : Meat and prawns was cooked well. Didn't expect to be charged seperately for papadoms and the sauce tray! A sauce tray is almost always complimentary in an Indian restaurant. I would not order the 'Biriyani'. It lacked flavor and doesn't qualify for a Biriyani. Atmosphere was good. Perhaps some lighting above the table would be good. Some corners are a little dark. Drinks selection is good.

   I have never had such bland Indian food. No salt or spice and when I mentioned the food was bland to the waiter, they immediately switched from being nice to wanting to get us out of the restaurant. The garlic naan bread did not taste like garlic. Honestly shocked that food could be this bland.

   Worst experience I have ever had! Dined with friends this evening. Food was terrible especially the Madras, meat was rubbery and when I mentioned I was shouted upon rudely and told I should pay still??? No I will not pay for a dish I hadn’t eaten that didn’t taste right?? Mr “Rumel” so called waiter, should not be working in such an establishment. He’s a disgrace, and utterly rude to customers. He even shouted at my friend and spoken in an unkind fashion. Who does he think he is?? You had no right to speak to me in such a rude manner. Do not dine at Ginger Lounge!!!

   Have been here many times before but this time it was extremely loud to the point we couldn't hear eachother talking. The waiter was very abrupt and wanted us to order our drinks quickly then didn't come back for ages to take our order. We were seated in a squashed space when we asked to sit somewhere else the waiter said no turns out that the waiters friends were coming in to sit there and once they did they moved the partition so we were even more squashed. When the bill came they had tried to charge us for items that were included in the set menu we had ordered. Such a shame as we had gone to celebrate our birthdays.

   We had a lovely family meal at Ginger Lounge Indian Restaurant. The food was excellent, very tasty and the service was excellent. My meal was the Bombay Sizzling Tava which is shown in the picture. Surprisingly it was not hot and spicy which is what I was expecting but very flavoursome and really quite mild. We have had a few meals here and enjoyed every meal.
