Gina’s Blooming Scent Menu

Gina's Blooming Scent is a family run African and Caribbean restaurant and cafe on Tottenham High Road. Formerly presented simply as Blooming Scent, it remains at the same premises and offers a welcoming place to sit down for a meal, coffee or cocktails close to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The African menu centres on satisfying combinations such as banku with tilapia, fufu with light or peanut soup, and jollof rice with chicken, meat stew or fish. Okra, spinach and red red stews bring vegetables and pulses into the selection, while plantain, yam chips and rice balls work as substantial accompaniments.

Caribbean dishes include jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat and escovitch fish, served with white rice, rice and peas or jollof. Chickpea curry and callaloo offer meat free routes through the menu, so a table can combine slow cooked, grilled and vegetable led dishes across both culinary traditions.

The cafe also serves coffee and a range of cocktails, giving it a role beyond takeaway and delivery. Its informal, sociable setting suits a weekday meal, a family gathering or food and drinks before a nearby event, with generous regional cooking remaining at the centre of the experience.
