"Jojolapa is the first Nepalese restaurant in Birmingham, located on Newhall Street. In a city well known for the cuisine of Nepal’s much more famous South Asian neighbour, the restaurant has held its own with discerning diners, so it was high time we tried it ourselves. Atmosphere There’s a buzzy vibrance to the place which contrasts fabulously with the moody low lit interior, dark wood furnishings and carvings. We saw relaxed diners enjoying drinks at the bar as they waited to be seated. Jojolapa has the ‘perfect night out’ atmosphere nailed. food Steamed momo chicken dumplings with mint and coriander sauce and Nepalese tomato sauce, chatamari (Nepalese pancake stuffed with vegetables and fried egg) and momo soup (chicken dimsum broth with noodles) were moreish starters. I was disappointed that the East Asian flavour to our meal pretty much ended there. There were very few main choices that I hadn’t eaten in an Indian restaurant. I opted for one of the noted Nepalese dishes special fish curry with nepalese spices. My guest plumped for the old faithful lamb rogan josh. Both were nice enough but I yearned for more of the starters. The kulfi ice cream was a delicious end to the meal. drinks There is a very respectable wine menu but Jojolapa is the natural home for cocktail lovers. The yummy jojolapa cocktail – black vodka, midori and cranberry juice marked the start of the evening in style and Jojolapa’s twist on the mango lassi served with vodka and orange liquer was gorgeous. overall There are plenty of Indian restaurants in Birmingham that boast similar dishes. But many of these restaurants can only dream of achieving Jojolapa’s cosmopolitan and sexy vibe seductively teamed with a friendly and super efficient service."

"we had a few parties in this restaurant before and therefore have enjoyed each other again and again and decided to have a triple celebration in their banquet hall. from the first day when we met the fronts, we were treated with a male personal alene that could not be less helpful than anything we asked was rejected and would not meet halfway to finish the deal. At any rate we agreed to her accusations and decided to try food for which we had to pay in full amount, not even a small discount, from which we complained about the chicken ktikka, as had a full taste, she did not even offer to replace, but then we asked to make sure that chicken ktikka be chest pieces and was assured at 2 points, but at the day of the celebration they served cheap chicken pieces. on the day everything went into order, apart from huhn tikka starter and not the same experience with food. at the end, when we have the bill we owe a refund of the payment we paid and said it was refunded at the earliest. also the person who was busy with us, said he would grab us the left of the buffet when we filled in a positive feedback, what a deal! then we started to follow the refund as it was not processed as promised. we have always called and were given excuses, will last a week, up to two weeks, has been processed, but not, then the person who processes the refund is on vacation, and finally, when speaking with the refund lady reshmi was said, no worries her get her refund, but we only processed in mass therefore delayed! what a lot of nonsense it took seconds to take money in advance from us, but when it came to our money back so many lie, 2 weeks delay and numerous phone calls with frustration. so much to give recurring business, never again."
