"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."

"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."

"I came to the restaurant with my partner for my anniversary. The service that we received was outstanding. We went for the set menu with seven courses. Every course was well explained by our waiter as we were not familiar with the Indian cuisine. The food was extremely tasty and our waiter was excellent. He was busy with a large party, but we didn't feel neglected. When we booked we mentioned that was our anniversary. We had a dessert with Happy Anniversary written on it! How nice it is. We asked the waiter name, Vishnu. He was so friendly and professional. We will be back very soon."

The service was impeccable and very attentive! Definitely worth the hype!"

"I've can't remember tasting such delicious, fresh and wonderfully spiced food. As another review on here says, I honestly can't wait to go back. The service is friendly and relaxed, we stayed chatting for a while after finishing our meal and were not hurried out. I went with 2 friends and we all ordered a vegetarian curry although we are not all vegetarian. We chose a coconut flavoured curry, coconut rice, pilau rice, tomato and black bean curry, and an aubergine based curry. I wanted to know the ingredients and made a note of the Indian names of the curries although not listing here. We all commented on the exceptional quality."

"Upon arriving at Gurkha Village, one might initially feel uneasy. Located in a converted pub in a run-down area, the restaurant's appearance is not very inviting. Despite booking a table for Sunday lunch, we were the only patrons there during our meal. The staff, although attentive, seemed to have no other customers to attend to. The decor and menu lacked any distinct Nepalese influences, which was disappointing as that was the reason we chose to dine there. It seemed like just another Asian restaurant in the Medway area, where competition is fierce. As for the food, it was decent. The lamb pasanda had a nice smoky flavor that was not overwhelming. It was a refreshing change from the usual curry house options. I tried the chicken dhansak, which also had a unique fruity taste. The dining area and bathrooms were clean, and I can see Gurkha Village becoming a popular takeout option for locals in the future."

"I recently visited Afters in Ilford and had an absolutely delightful experience. The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a treat with friends or family. The menu was extensive, offering a fantastic variety of desserts, from decadent sundaes to mouth-watering waffles. I opted for their signature sundae, and it was a taste sensation—rich, creamy, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our visit was enjoyable from start to finish. The cleanliness of the establishment was also impressive. I highly recommend Afters Ilford for anyone looking to indulge in some top-notch desserts. I will definitely be returning!"

"I had a wonderful birthday dinner here last Friday and couldn't find anything wrong with the food or the service. The staff were delightful, well-informed about the menu, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. It's quite rare to come across restaurants like this these days. I will definitely be returning!"

"we had a nice meal in namaste last weekend and would highly recommend it. the employees have gone significantly too much work to make the place safe, the restaurant was extremely clean, we had checked our temperature at the arrival, completed track and trace on our phones, and the personal wore masks. eating was amazing, really fresh and authentic. there were many options for vegetarians, and the people in our group who told meat that this was also great. it was a quiet Sunday afternoon when we visited, but the service was great and the staff was very friendly and attentive. we will definitely come back!"

"can not be enough about gymkhana rave. it is added a trip of delicious traditional Indian food mixed with thoughtful modernization. every dish and drink is so carefully prepared and presented. what is better than a drink that comes to grinding in with its own cinnamon stick or its own muscatnut? the dishes are excellent portion sizes for exchange to taste their way around a bit of the menu. highly recommended as their top Indian food experience in london!"

"We’ve just had the most delicious curry at Curry Corner. This is authentic Indian cuisine made with beautifully fresh ingredients. The curry’s have texture and have lots of flavour. We don’t normally opt for deserts after having a curry but since our little boy was with us, he wanted to try their ice-cream and OMG it’s incredible. The pistachio ice-cream is unbelievable, in fact so good I told the owner she should have a little ice-cream stall too. Just to add they are all homemade. We went on to try the orange and coconut too and they were equally as good. The service throughout was warm and welcoming too. All in all a lovely dinner out and we will return again. Thank you Curry Corner"

"Family get together after lockdown- we had the numbers which allowed us to try out various dishes. Still the best Indian restaurant around!! Fantastic food. I would recommend the crispy okra, mustard chicken tikka, dahi puri and aloo tikki chaat for starters (that’s what we...had and they were top notch). I reckon you could order anything and will not be disappointed. Special mention to the melt-in-the-mouth mustard chicken tikka (we ordered a repeat, it was that good) For mains we had some awesome dishes. My personal favourites gilafi handi, railway lamb, chicken chettinad, vegetable kolhapuri, paneer tikka masala and some rice and garlic naans. Attentive service without it being too much. Just right. Pleasant staff, reasonably priced. It’s a must visit if you are in the area. Can’t wait to go again!!"

"We visited for a Valentine's dinner and chose the pre-show menu, which turned out to be a bit disappointing. We started with the chicken winglets, and they were quite enjoyable. For our main courses, I had the duck noodles, which were nice, though some of the meat was overcooked and I found a bit of chewy fat mixed in. My partner opted for the chicken green Thai curry, which was quite disappointing; the chicken was dry, and the bowl was mostly filled with rice, with just a drizzle of curry sauce that barely covered the chicken. I wouldn’t recommend those as main dishes! On the bright side, the service was excellent—our food arrived quickly, and the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was just right; we arrived at 5:30 and left by 6:30, enjoying a pleasant evening. I just wish we had chosen different main courses."

"ordered the veg thali (my friend had the vegan.) £17, but they don't get much for their buck. taste was pretty good, but overpriced, also for the center of london. I was not served dessert as it was specified on the menu, but we would run out of time so I don't mention it. if I return, instead of a full grain curry and rice ordering the wein, sauvignon blanc (not my favorites, anyway, but it was either that or pinot grigio) was not the best, but at least it was not expensive. I should have ordered alcohol-free drink with a good idea."

"The restaurant offers a lovely atmosphere with great views of Oakham high street. There is a separate area for enjoying drinks and perusing the menu, which is delightful. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the selection of drinks is extensive and reasonably priced. We visited on a Tuesday night and took advantage of the offer for two people to eat for £28, which included poppadom and pickles to start, as well as a main course with a choice of rice or naan bread. We tried the king prawn Goan curry, which was absolutely delicious with succulent, large prawns. The pilau rice and garlic and coriander bread were also excellent. This meal was one of the best Indian dishes I have ever had, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. I will definitely be returning in the future."

"We tried out the Masaledar after their recent refurb. The main waiter was friendly and helped with ordering, but the service times were terrible. We were a biggish group of 10 people, but our starters took 45 mins and the last main course arrived 2 hours after we'd sat down. The heat of my Karahi lamb was just about right for me, but a few people were complaining the food was too mild and generally bland. Small shots of mango lassi were a refreshing end to the meal though. The fact it is BYO meant that it was a fairly cheap night out, there's a Tesco across the road. Strangely in these days of digital payments, it is a cash only restaurant! One thing we couldn't understand is that they've moved the front door so it's no longer easy to find up the side street rather than on the high st. Everyone in our group had to search for the entrance which now brings you in at the back of the restaurant...bizarre! Unlikely we'll be going back, lots of others to try on Upper Tooting Rd. A shame, as this used to be my go to takeaway option when I lived in Balham."

"This was my second visit, and once again, it was excellent. Although it took a bit of time to take our order despite the restaurant being only half full, everything else was perfect. Every dish we ordered was delicious and authentic, especially the hoppers. I truly love Colombo Kitchen and will definitely be back!"

"Worst ever customer service ive had! I placed and order online for delivery and paid via paypal which after i received confirmation said it was a pick up, i understand sometimes there can be errors onine so i called them straight away to say what happened and that i wasnt able to leave the house to collect hence why i ordered for delivery, the manager called Mohammed said that he couldnt do anything and that i would have to pay an extra £5 for delivery which is more than double what is says on their website £2) i said im willing to give the driver the £2 in cash when he arrives but he was adamant that i had to pay £5 or else i wouldnt be able to have it delivered and that i have to call another company YoYo) to get a refund. I asked to speak to someone higher as i wasnt happy with how he dealt with the situation. He then proceeded to shout at me because i asked for his name as i wanted to make a complaint, i have never spoken to such a vile person before and i will not order from there again!!! I think there has been a change in management as the food hasnt been very good the past few times ive ordered it has been cold when delivered so ive had to reheat in the microwave which makes me think its not been made fresh!!!"
