"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."

"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 have been bringing the kids here for years a special meal out in a fantastic spot. But sadly, this year may be our last. As recently as 2 years ago you could get 'tapas ' style small plates from £6 £9 each, this year we were a little shocked to find the cheapest plate (a modest serving of cured mackerel) priced at £13, with most small plates at the £17 mark. In the past we have also enjoyed the large plates, most of which were priced from £16 £18. Currently, they are priced at £70, £75 and £130 perhaps the portions are larger than previous years, we did not order any. The food is of course delicious, but on the whole, the small plates did not feel quite as varied nor satisfying compared to previous menus. The BBQ puffed bread was dry, the sticky ginger crab was disappointing compared to other fresher crab dishes, the Octopus not as memorable as previous years. It would have been nice to have been offered the option of some bread or rice to go with all the Panang Curry sauce leftover. The pork belly (the only meat option on the menu other than the £130 surf and turf) was possibly the dish that disappointed the most. We tried all of the small plates and enjoyed the Prawn Panang, Red Mullet Tartare and the Cauliflower Kung Pao. £270 for a family of 6 with a few soft drinks and no desserts. With Nathan Outlaw 's up the road perhaps they feel the need to set the menu and prices in order to compete. But may well price out some families from enjoying this special spot."

"Fantastic range of small dishes and meals for lunch and dinner. The menu ranges from scandi to oriental, so something for everyone. The menu is clearly marked with allergens, including what meals can be adapted. The chicken is halal and vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful. The cocktail and mocktail menu is great and they do one of the best espresso martinis in Shrewsbury. The decor is modern and comfortable and there is plenty of space. As a wheelchair user, I can get into the ground floor and to a table. The outside seats are up a small step, but the whole front of the building is a retractable wall of windows, so I can still get the feeling of eating outside in good weather. The service is friendly and knowledgeable about allergies, the menu and the wine list. The staff are helpful and unobtrusive. The only difficulty for me (hence the 4 star review) is that the accessible bathroom is next door, in their sister bar, Libertine. Unfortunately, libertine isn't open the same hours as HotRS, so I can only use it at certain times. The ladies does have a lock on the door, so staff have cleared the ladies toilets, which allowed me to take my chair in and lock the door. I had to walk a couple of steps to get into a stall but my chair was safely with me. Of course, there is also no alarm cord, but they stood outside the door so would have heard if I shouted for help."
