"It was our first time trying this place, coming from London we wanted to find an Indian restaurant. We ordered third eye mix grill for starters but a lot of the marinate was quite spicy for my liking and it came with nan bread only that they had forgotten Untill we had to remind them when we got our main course. The dips that comes with papadum was so spicy, we are more used to the mint sauce not being spice at all as this would help calm my palette when eating spicy food same goes for the onion salad and again this was also very spicy which I left behind. The papadum had seeds only to find out at the end of the meal it was suppose to be healthy option of papadoms and instead of frying its baked which I didn't mind at all however I do believe this should be made clearer on the menu and we were expecting the frying papadums but do believe when we got serve papadum it needed to be cooked ALOT longer as I'm sure papadum shouldn't have any bubbles. The curry dishes was nice, lots of flavour, we ordered lamb chops masala, with , chicken madras with boiled rice, dal, veg rice and sag chicken which all was very tasty. We tried their home made mango kulfi which was the best part, it not too sweet and bit salty but also refreshing, I highly recommend to try this dessert. We found out that this place is trying to make eating out healthier so they use less oil to cook with. Not bad and would try this place again and try other dishes. If you can see the photos I've taken you can see hardly any oil floating above the curry sauce. We did find the service was slow, they opened late and had a mop and smell of bleach right at the front door. Other than that food was tasty."

"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."
