Mystic Ginger - Menu

My wife and I like to try new restaurants and Mystic Ginger is a hidden gem. The food was amazing and full of flavors. The perfect combination of spicy and savory and everything else that makes a perfect bite. So good we went back for a second taste before we left Winston Salem. Don't miss out!!!!

The food is amazing!! FYI they are pretty short staffed, but that is in no way a detriment to their establishment, rather it is a testament to how wonderful their food remains to be and how hard they work to serve their customers. I have requested things that are not on the menu and the owner has graciously accommodated me. Very kind staff and great food!

So disappointing. The worst Indian I have ever had. With such a limited menu I was expecting freshly prepared and delicious! Instead the chicken curry was old had been reheated multiple times. It would have taken 3 nans to absorb the inch of pure oil on the top of the pint size curry. Old, no flavor, truly no even an okay meal. $54 for a curry, chicken biryani and 3 nams. Save your money or spend it somewhere else. View menu

This small, unassuming restaurant may not catch your eye as you walk by, but it would be a mistake to overlook it. The food was fantastic! I stumbled upon it while traveling and decided to give it a try after hearing good things from the hotel clerk. I am so happy I did. The dishes were fresh and expertly prepared. The woman who worked there and cooked the food was extremely friendly. If I ever find myself back in Winston Salem, I will definitely make a point to stop by again!

I have visited numerous Indian restaurants across the country, and this place stands out for its great food and generous portion sizes. The Chicken Tikka Masala had a delicious twist on the traditional dish. The naan was excellent, and the rice pudding dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. I particularly enjoyed the homemade hot chai tea. If you prefer supporting small, family-owned independent businesses, this restaurant is a great choice. Thank you Naz for being a fantastic chef, host, and overall lovely person!

We had dinner at Mystic Ginger while staying overnight in Downtown Winston. The owner/chef was very welcoming. The butter chicken was some of the best my wife and I have ever tasted. It had a unique flavor compared to other Indian restaurants we've been to, but in a good way. The butter sauce was not as tomato-heavy as others. The Garlic and Butter naan were delicious and fluffy. The owner also treated us to a taste of a new rice pudding recipe she was experimenting with, and it was fantastic. We will definitely return next time we are in Winston. Highly recommended.

I've been to MANY Indian restaurants all over the country, this place is great and the portions are comparable to every other restaurant I've been to. The negative reviews are unnecessarily harsh and out of touch with reality. This restaurant is owned by a very kind husband and wife who do all of the work by themselves on some days and they do an amazing job.The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious with a unique twist on the original dish. The naan was great and the rice pudding dessert was a perfect compliment to finish the meal. I absolutely loved the homemade hot chai tea as well.If you like to support small family owned independent businesses then this place would be a great choice for you...

Rather disappointing and expensive. The internet indicated one thing, but it is quite another. It’s like expecting a rather nice steak house and getting a shiny diner. The ‘Buter Chicken’ is good. Everything is a la carte and we thought the prices rather high—$66 for 2 servings of samosas, water, buter chicken, curry chicken, and raita. We got the samosas, then much later, our meat dishes and rice. I had nearly finished my meal before the naan arrived (which the waiter said was ‘on the house’ . Later still, the raita arrived. We patiently waited for the waiter to return (about 20 mins , but finally, my husband had to get up and go ask for the check and a couple of boxes. I must say, we have...

My wife and I came for dinner here this evening, (a Saturday night. It probably should have been a red flag that we were one of only two couples in the restaurant. All of the other restaurants in the area were packed. Although we were greeted right away, the server didn't come to the table for just shy of ten minutes. Remember, we were fifty percent of the guests there. When he finally did come by, we ordered the Samoa (sic , lamb curry, butter chicken and an order of buttered naan. The Samoa was very good. It was spicy and temperature was hot. That was the end of the good part. The lamb curry and butter chicken were nearly nondescript in terms of flavor. The gravy that they both came in cou... View menu
