Ginger Express

Ginger Express is a Chinese takeaway on Ferry Road, the main road running east–west through north Edinburgh connecting the city centre to Newhaven and Granton. The kitchen produces a wider range than the standard British-Chinese format: alongside fried rice and chow mein, the menu includes Malaysian curry and Thai curry prepared using aromatic spices and traditional techniques — a breadth that reflects the pan-Asian register common in Edinburgh's Chinese-run takeaways. Ginger Express offers online ordering through its own site and app alongside phone orders, and delivers across Leith. Ferry Road connects the Trinity and Pilrig districts of north Edinburgh, and Ginger Express is one of the better-established independent Chinese takeaways on this stretch, open from late afternoon through to eleven in the evening.
