Situated in the picturesque Interiors of the Heritage Campal neighborhood in one of Panaji's most unique quarters known for its riverfront gardens, aesthetic buildings, and a solid community spirit. The Red Ginger is one of Panaji’s most renowned Pan Asian spots that we checked out recently.

Placed inside an Old Portuguese House and sharing space with one of Goa’s most renowned Seafood Restaurants “The Fisherman’s Wharf”, the Red Ginger has a variety of Seating options both indoors as well as outdoors but we highly recommend seating inside as it has a very authentic oriental vibe about it that is hard to miss.

We were greeted by Chef Gulshan who handles the Restaurant at Panaji and he was kind enough to give us some solid recommendations on the dishes as well as the drinks that we should try.

The Red Ginger is known for its oriental cuisine and has an array of oriental options to offer ranging right from Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, and Japanese

For starters, we tried the Dragon Roll, Chicken Teriyaki Bao, and Classic Chicken Dumplings. ‘The Dragon Roll’ is a delectable serving of Sushi with an emphasis on authentic taste and presentation consisting of Crumb Fried Prawns, Avocado, and a hint of spicy Mayo Prepared by The Red Ginger’s Sushi Master Chef, this was bound to be a delight and is a must for all sushi lovers out there.

‘Teriyaki Chicken Bao’ is one of the most interesting preparations that the place has to offer in terms of innovation and they surely do not miss this department! Juicy chicken blanketed with a sweet sticky glaze of Teriyaki Sauce stuffed between the super soft Chinese Bao Buns creates a burst of taste in the mouth. The Baos at Red Ginger is definitely something you shouldn’t miss!

Their ‘Classic Chicken Dumplings’ are glistening, steaming balls of joy stuffed with seasoned chicken cooked to perfection that will drive any Pan-Asian foodie crazy.

Coming to the Mains, we tried the House specialty Kung Pao Chicken and the Mix Phad Thai Noodles.

The Kung Pao Chicken was a semi-spicy-sweet stir-fried dish made with chunky pieces of chicken, vegetables, and chili peppers, and the peanuts here were substituted with Cashew nuts instead making this a very interesting yet different take on the all-time oriental classic. It went rather surprisingly well with the Mix Phad Thai Noodles consisting of Egg, Chicken, Squids, Prawns, and a variety of vegetables cooked in a glaze of in-house sauces.

For the Final and most important course, we indulged in the “The Great Wall of Chocolate” which is a 5 Layer of super delicious and rich chocolate cake topped with white chocolate curls as fancy as it sounds, it exceeds the expectations in the taste department. This is a must-try for all those sweet tooth aficionados. So head on down to the Red Ginger today and don’t miss out on the amazing culinary offerings this Oriental flavor house has to offer!
