"When we arrived, they hadn't made up a table for 10. When we told them we were 10, they made a table for 8, and said they would fix it. When the rest of the group arrived, they still hadn't fixed it after telling them 3 times. After fixing it, we sat down, and it was freezing cold. We all had our jackets, scarves and gloves on. They were not very nice, and did not once apologise for not fixing the table and the fact that it was almost 0 degrees. The food was good, but the overall experience was not at all great. Not pleased with this visit."

"I have tried many curry houses over the years. Indioz tick All the boxes. The front of house Shaheed and waitress Lauren make us all feel welcome and nothing is too much effort. THey also hosted our company Christmas meal which was fiftieth, tasty and fantastic value of money. I can really recommend the Harah Ghosht lamb dish which is very tender and full of fresh spices..jon"

"Unusually for me I’ve written a review just after visiting. I’m not a foodie, which makes this even more surprising. First time in Belfast and we’re all hungry so we went to the nearest Indian- and it’s possibly the best I’ve experienced . Great service, the food I had (chicken tikka balti) was outstanding- and everyone I was with thought it was great. It’s a bit more expensive than your average curry but absolutely worth it."

"We haven’t been to the Mint room in quite awhile and as it’s changing management we decided to give it a go . As all our other visits to this restaurant we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was also excellent. My wife has some very difficult allergies and this restaurant caters for her in a first class way . If the new restaurant continues to provide the same quality and service and we were told by the new manager that they want to improve on their menu choices) it’s bound to succeed. I’m looking forward to seeing what the new restaurant will be like."

"Wow!!! Gorgeous decor. Warm, cosy and very welcoming. A real authentic Indian street food. The decor and the menu is very unique; completely different and special. The food thali is out of this world. They have various options available which is awesome. Grill is done to perfection. Couldn’t possibly fault them with anything. Definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be going again and again."

"The food and service at this restaurant were excellent, especially from our server Franco. The pani puri was one of the best I have had in the UK, and the chaats and main courses were absolutely delicious. The only disappointment was the Masala Chai, which was not made in the traditional way. The total cost was very reasonable, making it a great option for affordable and high-quality Indian food. We dined in for dinner."

"What a let down! Out of town, staying in local hotel and Only came on the back of a glowing google score. Empty restaurant on a Friday night??? Lamb chops were black charred beyond adding flavour. Tasted bitter. The onion Bhaji’s were 2/3s flour and were like pakora batter, not really mostly onion!! Not nice, these were left. We ordered 2 chicken tikka curries, the chicken was ok, but both curries were bland, just tasting of salty base gravy. Disappointing. Service was excellent. People are lovely but this is not great British Indian curry. Lots of locals seemed pleased but I am used to much better."

"No welcome on arrival, we had to ask three times if someone could take our order. We'd booked for 5.30 to allow time to eat before the Tuesday night football at the Valley. There were only three tables in bar ourselves at this point. It took nearly 1 1/2 hrs to get our mains, all the time the kitchen was prioritising Take Aways for Just Eat customers over restaurant diners. Other people were complaining about the wait around us. When our starters had come and someone came to the table to ask if everything was ok, he'd turned around and walked off before I could compliment him on the starters. They literally didnt give a toss, apart from their friends... To add insult to injury I'd just got up to ask about the wait on the food and a waiter proceeded to put a plate of fried chicken and a bowl of chips on a table in the corner behind us, there was no one sat at the table, until two lads arrived clearly their buddies and sat down to eat when we had been waiting over 45 minutes for our mains. The food arrived, my butter chicken consisted of huge chunks of dried out chicken in yoghurt with some spice mix, my friend's chicken biryani was cold, my peshwari naan was soo sweet as to be inedible. We left after 5 minutes of getting our mains having paid. Safe to say that's a disaster not to be repeated in the same place!"

"I recommend this place very much! the two brothers waiting for us were absolutely fantastic. they were so friendly and we had so much sharpened with them it was funny. the atmosphere is very relaxed and cooled, definitiw felt comfortable there and eating was not so good. I couldn't owe it. they have all curries tailored to our own individual flavoring preferences, fresh, authentic and tasteful. yes, there was a light wait for the main thing, but fair to be, not so much longer than other places in the great scheme of the dinge, and I am more than happy to wait a little longer for food when it tastes good. if it is cooked to order what do they expect? Moreover, it meant that we go the appetizers and enjoy a drink and a chat while we waited. can't wait to go back."

"I called and ordered steamed lamb MoMo from this restaurant. I was disappointed to find out that they only accept cash, which is inconvenient in today's day and age. The MoMo was average, but the sauce was overly sweet, reminiscent of the sweet sauce you typically get with Peshawari naan. It didn't taste authentic Nepalese, more like something you would find at an Indian restaurant. The service was mediocre and the atmosphere was just okay. Overall, it was an okay experience for a takeout dinner, with prices ranging from £1-£10 per person. Food: 3/5, Service: 2/5, Atmosphere: 2/5."

"The food at this restaurant was really delicious and the portion sizes were generous. The appetizers were especially good. My friends ordered the Thali and were very pleased with their choice, especially since it came with dessert. I opted for two small curries with rice and Naan, and I was extremely satisfied with everything. The Naan was freshly baked and helped me scoop up every last bit from my plate. I can't wait to come back and use my loyalty points for another visit."

"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."
"I dined at this restaurant on Saturday evening with five friends after receiving a recommendation from a family member. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find that the restaurant was empty except for two other diners, and the lighting was very bright and unwelcoming. Despite the initial setback of the staff being unaware of our booking and not having a table prepared for six, they quickly rectified the situation and we were attended to by a very attentive waiter. Our food selections were excellent, but the waiter's recommendations were even better. I would recommend this restaurant, however, the ambiance could be greatly improved by adjusting the lighting and upgrading the tableware. Adding tablecloths and candles would also enhance the dining experience. A more welcoming atmosphere could potentially attract more customers."

"Its one of those restaurants in London which is not serving Indian/Pakistani cuisine modified according to western tastes or like the cheap to go brick lane bengali touch curries. I just happen to walk in after a heavy shopping day as i had to take the bus from just outside the restaurant door. Kadhai ghosht was really well cooked. Rest everything else was tried by my parents and they had positive reviews about it. A very family restaurant type of vibe this place has. Its not as great as compared to the next door neighbour Salt bar, but its good enough. Unfortunately don't have any pictures as phone was not charged."

"First night in London, and we were looking for a basic bite and a basic drink. Something local , you know. Turns out we found a spot That 's not basic at all. We checked in to our hotel a bit late in the evening, and asked the guy working the front where was good for a bite and a drink. He said most places were closed or closing soon. I mentioned that I saw Salt on yelp nearby with food. It 's close but it has, sorta different food. And it has, night people, if you know what I mean , is what he responded with. Well that was intriguing so we had to go. We arrived and realized what he meant. The place was packed with Middle Eastern people, most outside enjoying the night air and smoking from Hookah pipes. it was a popping place, but definitely not a British crowd of guys pouring back pints. we sat inside and we were hungry. I got a lamp curry wrap and my gal got a wrap too. OK not the most original thing on the menu but we got the potato cakes too. Everything was great. The wraps were really, really good and hit the spot. The had some good wines and scotches as well, which really added to the night. The quirky ambiance was a welcome surprise. it was so foreign to us, but was designed to be entertaining. I don 't know when we will be back to London, but we really do hope t make it back to surprisingly great spot."

"We were greeted by a mild member of staff and shown our table, noticing the restaurant had an aging, worn, tired feel to it, regardless of the Valentine decorations. The service felt a bit disorderly, although the staff were pleasant and very helpful. The starters were lovely, very tasty, however the mains and sides were less impressive, as was the chutney choice that went with pappadums. Unfortunately and sadly, with the amount of good/excellent eatery choices in Liverpool, I would not recommend or return to Mayur, unless they modernised their menu, ambience and quality of food for the price you pay."
