The key to having a great experience at Blue Ginger is appropriate ordering. Don't order the palak paneer, I can't put my finger on why but it just doesn't taste like traditional palak paneer. The naan is so so. I really like the kofta and the paneer tikka masala. Just ask for medium spice (which is very spicy) or else... More

Food was excellent, Indian food, best restaurant we experienced in Malawi. Service also excellent, atmosphere lovely. Expensive and they wouldn't accept a credit card so we pooled our cash to cover the meal.

The food at Blue Ginger is fine but I find the decor unattractive and it is a touch on the pricy side for the whole experience.

owner picked us up from hotel, selected family-style meal for the group, dropped us off at hotel. delicious food, nice atmosphere, serves alcohol. one of nicest places in LLW. recommend asking owner or manager to select dishes for you; otherwise the extensive menu is overwhelming. lettuce wraps were great!

This restaurant has a nice ambiance but there are much better options in Lilongwe if you're looking for good food. The food I've had here has been average quality but at twice the price of some other, better restaurants. If you're looking for Chinese food then try Noble China. If you're looking for Indian then try Bombay Palace. Both are... More

The dish I ordered really was mediocre. It was the chicken in cashew nut gravy and was quite unremarkable. It seems harsh to rate ALL the food based on my experience of ONE dish - but that was my experience. The Banana Toffe desert was good; the icecream mediocre. However, the atmosphere in the restaurant was great, it was easy... More

Great food.... food was second to none. I love curry so i am easily put-off by imitations. This was fantastic guys. Without fail i go to Blue Ginger when i visit Lilongwe, if i had the choice i would go probably every night! Also, Love the acoustic band, nice touch.....
