RELOCATING...
Café Blue Ginger is home to
Culinary Art, Aesthetics, Fine Art and You. Artistically presented,
simply cooked, gloriously satisfying food with an
amazing array of mocktails and hot beverages are what one
can expect at Café Blue Ginger. The décor, inspired by
Picasso’s Blue Period, incorporates the gold of the ever
loyal Ginger along with curated art work, select pieces of porcelain
and furniture which has been produced by Café Blue Ginger's very
own Galleria 919.
Located in
the prime area of Clifton at Galleria 919
and a minute’s walk from the famous Aunty’s park, Café Blue
Ginger
offers a modern indoor seating area which carries its
artistic theme from Galleria 919, as well as a beautiful
outdoor patio seating area which features the perfect
ambiance lighting, a misting fan for warm evenings and a
mocktail bar. The bar serves up some very nice and
refreshing drinks, not too sweet, and some hot coffees and
teas for the chilly nights to come. Daily
specials are written on the board in the patio area and are often
selected from a variety of international cuisines such as
Italian, Pakistani, Thai or even Japanese.
THE RECIPES
The cuisine, though essentially
continental, also includes recipes by the famous Ms. Zubeda Tariq.
The signature dishes such as Tortica
Rustica, Traditional Classic, Bg’s Nu Gra Pao and the Honeyed Spring
Potatoes are from her treasure trove. As a member of Café
Blue Ginger's team, Ms. Zubeda Tariq is frequently onsite to
oversee and contribute to the specialty dishes that are
served at the restaurant.
Ms. Zubeda Tariq, a household
name today, forayed into the gourmet field almost 20 years
ago. She initially started with an advisory service
attached with a multinational company where she provided
free of charge consultation and recipes to the harried
housewives and young entrants in the kitchen. The response
was phenomenal and very soon she was offered the chance to
take up a platform in the visual media to make herself and
her expertise more accessible. Today she has hosted more
than 3500 TV shows, plus many audio shows and public appearances. She has published three recipe books and
her much desired book on cooking tips is currently in press.
Café Blue
Ginger's
signature style is to serve wholesome meals with simple, yet
aesthetically vibrant presentations. An eclectic cuisine
which caters to a variety of tastes and pallets. Each of
the chefs enjoy a specialized niche which contribute to
their
expertise in Thai and Chinese, Mediterranean and local
Pakistani/Indian dishes. The spices are mixed in-house and the sauces are unique and
flavorful. In addition, the utmost care is taken in using the
freshest of vegetables and top quality meats.
What is even more exciting is
the bar in the
open patio which comes up with the most exotic concoctions under
the sky. Try the Sangrias and the limcas, or a specialty hot
or cold coffee. The chilled
Lemonade, Red and White Sangrias and Orange Pina Colada are
a must when dining at Café Blue Ginger.
THE CONCEPT
Owners Hussain Tariq (son of
Ms. Zubeda Tariq) and
Hassan Raza bring their down-to-earth, friendly and artistic
nature to Café Blue Ginger. Wanting to create a café where
people could come to relax and enjoy snacks and drinks
throughout the day, but also get a complete lunch or dinner
experience, Café Blue Ginger lives up to their expectations
by serving
the passer-by as well as the fine diner. Snacks and drinks
are offered from morning until night, while lunch and dinner menus are also
offered at the appropriate times of day.
"At Café Blue
Ginger, the main principal we have learned is that the
restaurant business is really the people business. People
love to go out to eat in a restaurant, but only if the whole
experience is sensational". At Café Blue Ginger, all aspects
have been considered
such as food quality and availability, ambiance,
uniqueness, customer service and hygiene in order to create the
perfect environment for a memorable and
enjoyable dining experience for all who visit.
