"We arrived to Chotto Matte London in a group of six. We was seated at a table suited for six but it did feel small and cramped. We all had £75 per head and was looking forward to our visit. We scanned a barcode for the menu but it wasn’t very user friendly at all. Here are the dishes I ordered and tried Spicy Chicken Karaage nice flavour, good kick and presented well. The coating was nice. Arroz Chaufa I didn’t go past the second try. We had this ordered 3 times around the table, not one person eat it. Felt grainy and didn’t go together Chuleta de Cordero Ahumada the lamb itself was cooked beautifully. I couldn’t get over the toppings of nuts etc, it was very strong. Perfectly cooked meat, but the rest was not up to my personal taste. Pollo Picante now if there is one thing this restaurant cooks wells, it’s the chicken. The chicken is delicious and this for me was the best dish of the evening. Put a smile on my face and topped everything I tried. Yuca Frita this was cassava wedges and was the first thing I tried and it was a lovely start. Tastes nice, soft on the inside and a lovely crust. Chocolate ice cream tasted like it came out of a tub and didn’t bother me. A nice refreshing end. The atmosphere had a certain ambiance. The food is cooked insight and is brought out when it’s made. You order what you’d like and it arrives sporadically. One of the guys around the table has to wait until we had our 3rd or 4th dish for him to get his. The waiters seemed confused as to what dish was delivered. We had a halal eating member on our table but they twice got told “wait, I have your dish so not sure what you’ve been given” as similar looking dishes were mixed up. I won’t say how it ended. The staff were friendly and nice, always helpful too. All in all, I see the quirky side, the idea for service and the design of the menu but it wasn’t for me, and the rest of the team felt the same way. Nice to have experienced this restaurant but I can’t see myself coming again."

Camden Market, North Yard Chalk Farm RoadNW1 8AH, London, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • Breakfast • Vegetarian


"Vegetarian Vegan Options WHAT I HAD: Tumeric Vegan Chai £4.00]; Sri Lankan Lamprais £10.50] – (Vegan Mutton A historical Sri Lankan and Dutch influenced rice and curry served in a banana leaf with beetroot, aubergine, cashew nut curry and onion relish. I was in Camden pretty early in the morning, so most shops weren’t opened yet. I across PamBan and it had an interesting menu (coffee and hot food? Yes please! , so I decided to have my breakfast here as I was really hungry. You order and pay at the counter, and it will be served to you. I had the Vegan Sri Lankan Lamprais with Tumeric Vegan Chai. The Lamprais was very flavourful with an interesting combination of sweet, savoury and spice (it’s not spicy though if you’re afraid of spice . My mum enjoyed her mutton Lamprais. However, I felt a bit cheated with the Vegan Lamprais because it’s essentially the same but without any curry. Without any substitution to a non-vegetarian (Chicken/Pork/Mutton Lamprais, this makes the vegan Lamprais dry and way more expensive (it is the same price as any other Meat Lamprais . As much as I enjoyed the mix of flavours, I wouldn’t recommend the Lamprais if you’re getting it vegetarian/vegan as it just doesn’t justify the price. Even the meat Lamprais, I do think it’s a bit expensive as well as there wasn’t a lot of meat in it according to my mum. The place is spacious and airy, with a soothing and warm atmosphere. The staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive. We enjoyed our coffee and chai. Overall, the Lamprais we had was flavourful and unique but overpriced for what we got. They do have a lot of other interesting dishes on the menu and baked foods, so I will possibly visit Pamban again if I am in the area for good Chai, Coffee and snacks. If you are thinking of trying Pamban, do keep in mind that the prices are slightly higher compared to other stalls in Camden Market, but it is one of the shops/café in Camden Market that has nice spacious and comfortable seating if that’s what you are looking for."

Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Himalayan


"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."
