The talented singer and songwriter Jay Khan
opens his own italian restaurant “Padre E Figlio”in Berlin and therefore
enriched the capital of Germany with a culinary insider tip. As the
italian name already suggests, it is family-owned by father and son.
Khan
was born as the eldest of three children of a Pakiani cuisninier and a
Briton. When he was six years old, his parents moved to Germany –
Berlin, where he grew up in his childhood. In the age of 16 he started to
work with the record company Triple-M as a songwriter, below others for the
group Overground. Their album reached platinum status in Germany. The own
musical breakthrough for Khan came in 2005, when the music producer Lou
Pearlman founded the multinational band US5 . Within the band Khan acted as a
singer, also as a producer and again as a songwriter and was jointly
responsible for the good chart positions.
Currently, Khan is music label producer
(Nexxus Music) and is gaining successfully attention with his new band
“Großstadtfreunde”. The band has quite recently won the award for the
Newcomer of the Year at the lately conferred EMMAwards. The authentic lyrics
are in german, profound and touch the soul while the melodies play into the
heart.
Above all Khan proves one thing – what you
wish to achieve is possible. In order to make dreams and goals come true, it
requires imagination, strong-mindness, heart and soul.
Khan himself says modest and down to earth:
“I have worked the last 3 1/2 months every day obsessively – making a small
lifelong dream to my family and me come true. Today I open my first
restaurant quietly and gently! The official opening will take place in a few
weeks. We have already opened and I am delighted to welcome you, to celebrate together
the great result. There are some great people involved in this project and
every individual has invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears.”
Khan expresses his
appreciation to the father directly by the following quote, which has
been carefully selected by him and which is to be found at the first page
of the restaurant’s menu map – with the following photography :
“The
father’s ability is the best teacher of his son.”~ Democritus ~
What a beautiful
and meaningful gesture from a son to a father. Parents always accompany their
children unconditionally through life. Pleasant it is, if children at one point
in their lives are able to return this with full of gratitude.
The “Padre e
Figlio” in Berlin almost invites to create with friends and family new and
beautiful memories in a comfortable atmosphere. Integrated in the
premises is also a bar, which invites you to linger with excellent
drinks. The restaurant is located in the Uhlandstrasse, not far from the
Kurfürstendamm in Berlin-Charlottenburg. It is open for its guest everyday from
12:00 pm to 12:00 am.
I wishJay Khan, father and family a lot of success!
Curious
about what Khan will surprise us in the future even more.
