When the meal plan starts to get repetitive, students often look off-campus for variety. Columbia has many eateries that showcase the diversity of the city’s community, including Best of Carolina’s 2021 Winner for Best Indian Food, 2 Gingers Indian. Located just 10 minutes from campus, 2 Gingers is an authentic Indian restaurant that offers classic dishes with high quality ingredients and modern twists.

Popular dishes include tandoori, chicken and lamb samosas and chaat. They also offer a taste of fusion with Indochinese dishes like chilli-garlic fried rice. The extensive menu includes everything from butter chicken to dessert, so even those new to Indian cuisine are sure to find something to enjoy. Vegetarian options are available and are prepared separately from any dishes with meat.

If you’re looking to enjoy Indian food from the comfort of your couch, 2 Gingers delivers via Grubhub, Bite Squad, DoorDash and Uber Eats.

2 Gingers is a great place to add variety to your diet and their buffet is guaranteed to give you a bang for your buck!
