Jojolapa Nepalese Bar & Kitchen in Birmingham

The place appears to be closed.

The food and the services were amazing 🤩, would highly recommend. I loved the tasty treats they gave afterwards.

Time from order till the food comes to the table (2 hours on weekdays) We entered at 8:15 and main course arrived at 9:50 pm. Food: Momos was the star dish but the quality and taste is not good any more (probably they lost the chef) When we lost the patience and demanded some action the staff went in the kitchen and got the food right away (We had to do this twice) Biryani was super low with amount of rice (main ingredient of the dish) but the extra gravy was good. I really feel bad for the staff who are trying their best to deliver good service but they are lacking basic skills, food taste and organisation 1 star and 100% never going back!

My husband order collection, they didn’t have the chicken momo so settle for vegetable. Before when it had own premises food and service was good, now merged with bar, service not great. Took 5 phone call before answer. Was told to pay over phone, as they won’t make without payment. Passed on to colleague, who said they don’t take payment over phone. It is confusion for no reason. The food quality was still good, but the service is not as good as before. Owner was not there, he give the food service before. My husband said young waiter at front is very polite though.

Google says open for business so I called to book a table but no answer so I thought its just opened or they are late so drove into clean air zone by paying £8. Got to the restaurant and the staff told me that we are open only Friday and Saturday. That's absurd so why is Google hours not updated? He said that he has but not sure why Google isn't showing lol. Bad experience and very bad management

Came here with a friend for and Bikyang was our awesome server. The jhol momos were really good. Closest to what felt like home in my opinion. Drinks were quiet interest and had a couple of those. Specially love the muffin top and jackiri. Love it, would definitely come here again :)

After visiting on Saturday evening, I was unsure about the Nepalese food as it's all new to me, but so glad I did. The food was stunning. Highly recommended if you haven't tried before. Beautiful place, staff were super friendly. Great place for cocktails. Overall can't wait to return

The quantity of the food, especially, chicken chitwan and chilli chicken was very low for the price range. I am heavily disheartened at my experience tbh.

Female who greeted us very good customer service & polite she explained cocktail drinks may be limited due to waiting on stock delivery, I was not disappointed the ones i choose were all fine. Very extensive menu spoilt for choice... Food was lovely & tasty good portion sizes and reasonaly priced too. Added bonus couple of large screens to watch the Football. Would recommend 👌.

Delicious food with an amazing depth of flavour served in good time. Daisy, Anya and Niall were the most gracious hosts and we will be going back again, thank you.

The momos, the curries, the service, can't fault them whatsoever. The girls here are brilliant. Very attentive and considerate of your needs and wants. Brilliant location, in jewellery quarter. Plenty of bars and shops nearby if choosing to go elsewhere for afters. Brilliant spot. Highly recommended.

Great Nepalese food and great vibes. Awesome service and staff. Vegetarian momos are must try.

Amazing food and amazing service, definitely recommend this place.

The food wasn’t of a great quality, especially considering the price.

The momo is good here. However I felt a bit let down by the main courses. Parking is available for free after 6pm on streets

Nice local Indian curry house the curru is delicious along with a few pints and good for small family parties

I had previously visited the restaurant when it was in the city centre and have been desperate to try in jewellery quarter. But unfortunately very disappointed. Ordered 2 main portions tiny and very expensive for what you get. I returned one dish. Such a shame as I loved it last time!

Great customer service and tasty food!

What an incredible place!!! The food is amazing so much flavour like curry but at the same time completely different and there are so many vegan options Inc fake meat items. I wish I lived closer so I could go all the time! The staff are lovely so friendly and the cocktails are lethal!!! Service was faultless the place was spotless everyone needs to go here it is brilliant.

Ok had better ... but would go back

A great selection of vegan food! I've visited several times over the last three years and enjoyed each time. A little outside the usual city centre radius but worth the walk.

Lovely little restaurant. Did enjoy the ambience and decor. As it was my first trip was a little uncertain about the food but, it sure was delicious. The only thing I would say is that the portions were small for the money charged.

We went here just yesterday for my husband's birthday and the owner and waitress were so attentive to all of our needs (16 of us may I add), including all my young nieces. The food was very flavoursome not over-spiced or bland like other restaurants, who think flavour doesn't matter. Everyone had a great time and the head waiter even sang happy birthday and brought the cake over for my husband. 5/5 highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible and the staff were lovely. Will definitely be back next we're in Birmingham!

Decent service, food is good quality. Only issue is on valentines they offer a set menu which can be limiting, plus I needed dairy free and gluten free options. They had a vegan dessert available but brought me out a dairy one, I had to checkb if it was the vegan one, which it wasn't, to which I was told they don't have a vegan option. They did deduct it from the bill as they couldn't provide me with an alternative so I appreciated that but then we were billed for another tables bill... again was sorted out but only because I noticed. So service does have some room for improvement. Really like the decor and ambience of the place. They did aim to be as accommodating for me and did offer us drinks on the house too 🙏🏼🥂

I was really looking forward to going to this place, but it proved to be an expensive disappointment. To begin with it was really cold. We were by a radiator, but were informed that it didn't work, but that they had these (largely ineffectual) 'heaters' high up on the wall. The main dishes were £12 each and the portions were insultingly tiny! The spinach pakora was pretty good value, but the main (I'm Vegan, so chose the Tagra Takari, which, besides being tiny, boasted hardly any vegetables) spoiled any sense of value. Also, thanks to two families from what looked like a similar part of the world as the restaurant was supposed to hail from, with three young lads running amok, the parents taking little notice, the meal was constantly interrupted by said brats running past, and into and out the toilets. The poor head waiter tried in vain to stop them rampaging round the place, the idiot parents only calling them to task as they were about to leave!. It ruined the setting (which, apart from being cold, was rather nice, and a little different) and any ambition for a peaceful, romantic meal; given that it was the eve of Valentines day, were all but ruined. My review sounds a bit snobby; I assure you, I'm not. I travelled down from Bootle for a date, including a nice, enjoyable meal, but this place failed to deliver, I'm sorry to say. I must point out that the waitresses and waiter were attentive and warm though.

Great food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. The portions are large and you can tell that they are cooked with love.

Bit pricey and portions are little less, but apart from that it has good ambience, nice and welcoming staff. Worth a try.

We ate here on a very busy Friday night awesome location great menu lots of choices great tasting food with good size portions great service good night out

Been here a few times and loved the food every time! Tasty and not too spicy. Great variety for vegetarian meals (pictured is the vegetarian platter). Veg kofta curry is a great main would recommend. Only thing I’d say is maybe more staff when it’s busy as it’s hard to get the waitress’ attention. Would definitely visit again and again, happy to support a local business

Awful watered down food with no taste. The owner had no respect for his waiting staff. The panner main course tasted like it was cooked in tinned tomato soup. Awful all round.

We had chicken and vegetable Jhol momo, taste like one we have at home it was so good. Chicken was tender in the Khakura ko Jhol. Service by owner Sanju was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

We had Chicken and Vegetable Johl Momo. They are amazing and taste like true home cooked one. Khakura Ko John, chicken was very tender and nice taste. Service by the owner Sanju was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

If you can't heat the building properly don't open the restaurant to the public. Objections were raised but we were directed to the heaters on the wall. These were a/c units secured close to the ceiling (to cool down customers in summer). Heat rises. We are very cold. I have a jumper on and hardly ever get cold. There are diners around us sitting in coats. This is a joke for the price.

Delicious food, friendly helpful staff in lovely surroundings. This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint. The lamb rogan josh is amazing.

Just eaten here. We found this place by accident, late on a rainy, mid week night. The place was virtually empty. The menu had a lot of vegetarian options ,but being meat eaters we both had lamb dishes. The meat was tender and plentiful ,the naans were fluffy,and the service was spot on. Iam just sad that i dont live in the area so cant go every week

Visited recently with a friend. Portions were riddiculous! very small. Shocked at the prices for mains 11.00/12.00 for a tiny portion. Not even enough for one person!. food was below average, not great indian food. MOMOs were rock hard, the sauce to go with them was watery and bland. The Manager comes accross as humble but obviously very crude business man.....hence high prices and small portions. Extremely dissapointing and waste of money. would not visit again! Manager needs to seriously re-think about prices and food! definately not authentic indian or nepalese food. ps i believe the chef has changed recently too!

Visited last night with my husband, food was really good, hubby said best nann breads he had had in a long time! We will be returning, You must book you will not be disappointed. Restaurant is a credit to the owner who we met, showed us round his lovely new rooms which he will be letting from Monday through booking.com.

Great location. Ambience and music is brilliant. Was warm inside. Staff very friendly and kind. Food was great, lots of veggie options, momos were brilliant and chilli paneer. The only reason for a four star is, first restaurant ever been to with no dessert menu and payment was cash or bank transfer only. Will however definitely be going back

Absolutely fantastic meal. Lamb rogan josh was tender and full of flavour. Good service. Limited choice of beer which was a shame. Not been before but it was recommended by a fussy foodie. Highly recommended

Fantastic service and a number very flavoursome dishes. The staff were all very friendly and food was top quality!! The portions were very reasonable and good value for money. Visited with a friend, will be returning again soon with family.

Starters were pretty good and decent quality, the Nan bread was good but two of us thought the main was poor, my chicken jalfrezi was watery and the chicken reheated, the Keema was “Not to write home about” the lamb that our other friend had said it was mouth watering and tasty, the service was brisk and friendly but at £120 would I go again? Nope overpriced and sadly a lack of quality

I booked his after reading the trip advisor reviews. But personal experience tonight prompted me to write a disheartening review. It seemed no issue booking and rescheduling our time due to friend's arriving and having to spend some extra time with them. We were shown to our table and then left sitting there. 20.minutes before someone approached to take the order and we said well we have no menus. Not asked for drinks we asked for drinks menu and we were given a wine menu as all there is due to a big party. We then had a menu with missing prices so we asked why the cost was. We eventually were able to order food and drinks. Bit ti was like pulling teeth how much was the unprecedented items what drinks do you have. We didn't order wine but the wine glasses remained. A table later had their order and wine glasses taken away immediately. Little things. Our drinks still took 15 mins before arriving. This was poor but again apologies for the big party. The starters arrived and they were very good but no one cleared our plates after finishing or asked about drinks. Mains eventually arrived and gin very good. But no photos as I was thoroughly disappointed with the service here. Theres many Nepalese near us and they are attentive despite been busy. I could in fact ut wasn't asked if anything was wanted for dessert. We got the bill I mentioned the fire exit completely blocked and the response was there was another behind so that's OK. I didn't know fire would comply that way. In fact she was dismissive of me pointing this out as a health and safety issue. But hey if there's a fire it would go only in one area. Honestly the worst attitude to service I have had as a visitor to come across. No real cares. Great product but unable to execute. Or people here ar ehappy with that service.

Fabulous food, great portions. Lots of similarities to food we’re all familiar with from India, Bangladesh…..but different at the same time! All so flavoursome without crazy spice! Plenty of choice on the menu-we went for the set menu which was great tastes and flavours along...

Came in late but was still treated with great food and awesome staff. Will definitely be back.

Every time I come here I’m super happy with everything. The food is amazing and the staff is wonderful! My favourite place to eat!

Super friendly service from Anya, we sat just inside and the front was open so we had a nice view. Not too much choice of beer, but the Stella was good. The food we tried was amazing, shared Himalayan lamb kebabs, which were delicious. I...

Super friendly service from Anya, we sat just inside and the front was open so we had a nice view. Not too much choice of beer, but the Stella was good. The food we tried was amazing, shared Himalayan lamb kebabs, which were delicious. I had the Naga Shatkora chicken which was perfect and just the right amount of chilli heat. Lovely surrounding inside and friendly staff make it special..

Fantastic food, great service. Had the biryani it’s served traditionally with a soft pastry lid which is a lovely touch served with a vegetable curry on the side absolutely lovely dish rice fluffy and perfectly cooked. I couldn’t believe with how great the food was...

Really nice choice of dishes. Portion size generous and had great flavours and the Raaj lager and IPA were really nice.

Lovely restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. We visited on 26/06/21 and the food was so so delicious and tasty. Welcoming staff and good prices. You definitely should try it!

This is fabulous Nepalese Restaurant has excellent food and service. Lovely atmosphere really good staff and service. Don’t give up if you can’t get through they are dealing with some old contact info. Search directly for their website to book it is well worth it....

A truly authentic Nepalese experience with friendly service

Beautiful place with a variety of tasty vegetarian and meat dishes and customer service to go with it

I have been here a few times and honestly each time the food is FANTASTIC! Amazing range of dishes for vegetarians! Beautiful and stylish restaurant as well! The staff are so friendly and hospitable and really took extra care to keep plates and cutlery as...

My friend made an online booking for this restaurant and received an email confirmation, but when we arrived, we were told they did not have our reservation booking and were fully booked – this is the second time this has happened, but this time, they...

I visited with friends for a birthday celebration and was very impressed with both the wonderful food and service. The only reason I scored down slightly was because we were unable to try the cocktails, as apparently there was no cocktail waiter available. However, the...

Good service. Staff where very friendly and efficient. Limited drink options but beer was good, cold and refreshing. Very DISAPPOINTED with the food. I had a ‘slightly spicy’ chicken curry and rice. The chicken was dry and the curry sauce was extremely greasy. I couldn’t...

Just incredible! Went for a meal with friends and the food, atmosphere, restaurant and service was incredible. Would highly recommend for the momo’s alone, and the lamb rogan josh was the most flavourful I’ve had anywhere. Really nicely designed restaurant, friendly and attentive service, and...

Great place and excellent food. Generous portion sizes, friendly staff and will definitely be going again.

The atmosphere is so lovely greeted by friendly staff. Food was just fantastiy. Have been twice now and both times been very impressed.

We had the misfortune of selecting this restaurant for dinner this evening. Not only did not all the food we ordered arrive but our food took over 2 hours to arrive. The excuse given was that they had to serve others in the restaurant before...

Absolutely loved our meal here. Hadn’t booked but were happily accommodated. Service was great, the owner made us feel very welcome. I had the Lamb rogan josh which was delicious. It came with the best garlic naan I have had.

The most amazing food, we cannot compliment it enough! Also the staff were so friendly and made the most insane cockatails, honestly never tasted a better drink. Would happily come back every weekend if we could, Thankyou for the amazing hospitality Xx

Food and service was Excellent! Always a pleasure dining here! I had amazing cocktails made by Sanjay!

Awesome food and great service. Will be coming back with more friends. Jhol momo was the best!! Great options for vegetarians 💞🙏

Great food and excellent service🙂 Definitely recommend it! Loved it😘 Will be back soon👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

First meal out after lockdown and decided to try here out as had never been in before but live nearby. Lots of Vegan and Vegetarian options which made it the perfect choice but also the meat dishes are amazing too. Portions were fantastic and so much that I had to bring some home to finish the next day which to me is superb as I got to enjoy it two days running.

So we went to gorkhalounge and had a bad experience. To scratch that Nepalese itch we thought we’d try jojolapa.....just wow! Food was amazing, service was great and just nice all round!

A long overdue date night post lock down, where we had a fabulous meal. The food was full of authentic flavours and were super tasty. The service was great, very friendly and attentive staff. We'll definitely be visiting again. :-)

Me and my housemate came here for our first meal after restaurants opened since covid, have never had Nepalese food before and this was AMAZING! So glad we came, the food was beautiful (hariyo chicken saag and Kathmandu biriyani). Portion sizes were very satisfying, the wine was also lovely and the service was fantastic. We felt completely safe, the staff all had ppe, it was really clean, social distancing was being followed! Atmosphere was a little quieter but the staff were lovely and very attentive! Thank you to all, we will be coming back soon!

We went for dinner at an early sitting on 4th July. Firstly, all staff was masked and gloved up. Clear stickers on the floor and ropes to control flow in the restaurant. Temperature and symptoms were checked at the door and details noted for contact tracing. Service was quick and the food was absolutely delicious! Aloo tiki, poppadums, momos for starters. Had the saag aloo and paneer makhani for mains with peshwari naan. Had too much food and wine, thoroughly enjoyed my first restaurant visit after lockdown!

This was our first visit to a restaurant post Covid lockdown, and we couldn't have chosen a better place. All the required measures were in place, including temperature checks at the door. The staff were all adequately kitted out with gloves and face shields, and we felt very safe in the environment.As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the momos for starter, and both chicken curries were cooked beautifully. The service was excellent too, and we really enjoyed our evening. We will definitely be returning!

This is the second time we have met as a group here Service friendly and cater well for vegetarian and non-vegetarians. We shares the vegetarian and meat starter platters which were excellent Recommend and will visit again when in Birmingham

The food was delicious, I would recommend visiting again. All I would say is the food could have been served faster but they compensated with free drinks and discount on our bill.

We booked online 3 weeks in advance for Valentines Day dinner. When we turned up on the day, we were told it was a couple’s set menu which was fine, so I asked for the vegetarian set menu and my boyfriend asked for the non-vegetarian set menu. At this point, were told it was a “couples set menu” so we had to order either the vegetarian one or the non-vegetarian one - we couldn’t mix. We didn’t understand why we couldn’t mix so we asked to speak to the manager, so the waitress went off for 10 minutes. She then came back and said she had spoken to the manager on the phone and said they couldn’t accommodate the separate requests. So we called up a different restaurant around the corner and luckily they had a table for us at last minute and where they would allow us to order meat and vegetarian meals. So we left. Really shocked by this unusual rule and poor customer service! Would not recommend.

We arrived hoping for a Valentine's night treat and had a bit of a mixed experience.It didn't start well, we were not aware of the set menu, indeed if we had known before hand I wouldn't have booked. Allegedly they tried to contact people but I'm not sure I could accept this as I noticed there were a few customers who I could see were "surprised" and the table next to us walked out. I felt sorry for the lovely waitresses who were put in a very awkward position by what looked liked a bit of sharp practice by the management, indeed all the girls did an excellent job throughout. First of all it's a lovely place although the tables were too close together where we sat, our table also had a wobbly leg but our technically gifted waiter fixed it with a bit of paper. The set menu at £30 for meat or vegetarian, and £35 pp for fish was quite limited in choice and not what I would have gone for but we decided to make do as we doubted that we would find an alternative restaurant. At least we had two complimentary proseccos to keep the wife happy, unfortunately no alternative for me who doesn't like it. It's a lovely place and they had made a bit of an effort but the evening hadn't really thought through.The music was obtrusive and not great, in fact so poor for my taste that I would have welcomed Craig David. No poppadoms but a very nice selection of starters, luckily we both liked all of the set platter.The mains came with a side and a rice or nan. Again we were fortunate to find something that we liked given the limited choice. The rogon josh, sag aloo, nan and rice were excellent, the chitwan chicken and Bombay aloo were distinctly average. We wouldn't have ordered (and paid for) this much food normally but as we had paid for it we took the surplus home for another day. I am not sure if it was just us but we were also offered a complimentary dessert which was a lovely surprise. We would definitely go back but not for Valentine's Day.

Just visited jojolapa’s..... still here! Amazing restaurant and amazing staff, very attentive. Always apologising for any wait on food, but trust me it is worth the wait! Beautiful food, amazing flavour and depth! Will be back!

Wide range of starters and mains including an extensive range of vegetarian options, mostly demonstrating the differentials between Nepalese and other Asian cuisines. Roomy restaurant about midway between the Snow Hill and Jewellery Quarter stations - the latter has a Banksy just outside.

Nice evening Food was good Nice wine And good service Travelled down for Edinburgh that day and the brick building was really nice.

Fantastic food, highly recommend. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend visiting for any occasion.

We were here to celebrate our friend's engagement. Meal was delicious, decor was groovy, service was attentive! Would recommend!

Great menu diverse and interesting. The staff are very friendly and professional. The food is really well prepared and presented by smartly dressed waters/waitresses. Certainty well worth trying or visiting again and again.

Came here with the mrs and the food was definitely delicious. Service was great and would most definitely recommend you to try this place out!

Excellent quality food in a warm (in every sense) & pleasant atmosphere. A slightly different take on south Asian food, with each of the dishes we ordered having its own distinctive flavour. A lot of people of south Asian extraction eating there, which is always a good sign. Plenty of choice for vegetarians and a well laid out menu. Prices perfectly reasonable in what is quite a chi-chi part of town

Heerlijk eten! Vriendelijk personeel en zeker het reizen waard voor wat nieuwe smaken. Het is een echte aanrader

My wife & myself visited last weekend with group of friend. It’s in up market area of Birmigham,so i was expecting something upmarket. it was saturday yet there only handful of tables occupied. we were all disappointed with the portions & quality of food. The staff were late in serving as well they didn’t have the drinks which were ordered ie: Bacardi & also lemonade was no good. well about food when ordered prawn curry there were only 3 prawn in plate for £15 & also ever dish we ordered were cold. very disappointed will not be visiting again.

Decidimos probar un lugar nuevo en el Jewellery Quarter y terminamos aquí. ¡Tan feliz que lo hicimos! Ambos hemos salido realmente llenos de la deliciosa comida y muy satisfechos. El personal era muy amable y servicial, especialmente porque no habíamos reservado una mesa y estaba ocupado el viernes por la noche. Definitivamente lo recomendaría. ¡Definitivamente regresaremos y llevaremos amigos y familiares con nosotros!

Bella and Shipley are fabulous. Lovely food and wonderful atmosphere. We’ll be back soon. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Elegimos este lugar debido a la amplia selección vegetariana en el menú, la calificación de higiene de 5 estrellas y las buenas críticas. Está en un impresionante edificio industrial, decorado con buen gusto y con mesas espaciadas decentemente. El amable personal está atento sin estar demasiado presente y dispuesto a ofrecer consejos sobre las opciones del menú. La comida es absolutamente asombrosa en comparación con un restaurante "indio" normal, lleno de sabor y el calor necesario. Un montón de opciones vegetarianas y veganas. Cerveza nepalesa y alrededor de una docena de ginebras para lavar la comida. Buena musica tambien. En general, un verdadero placer y vale la pena una visita.

Vine aquí para cenar con colegas. Es un lugar bastante grande y divertido con decoración de Buda y ambiente de bar.

I had the opportunity to visit Jojolapa Nepalese bar last night and what a pleasure it was! The food was delicious. I can highly recommend the vegetarian steamed Johl Momo and the Targra Tarkari (I hope I got the names right). They were full of flavours and nicely presented. The dumplings (Momo) were AMAZING.

It’s been our second visit and both times the food was great. The portions are large and the staff is very kind and polite. All in all, a happy and relaxed experience - perfect for a Sunday!

I visited last night as part of a group, it was the first time I had been to this restaurant, but it definitely won't be the last. First impressions were good as the decor is chic and welcoming, the staff were also very friendly and helpful.

What a great experience! I cannot recall the names of the dishes but everything that we ordered was fantastic. For starters we got dumplings and aubergines, both came with their sauce. Mains were chicken and lamb. The meat was melting in the thick and rich sauce, which we combined with the pilau rice and the naan bread. Very polite and attentive service. Very relaxing and warm environment, interesting modern interior and lighting.

Really great food, brilliant staff. Seriously one of the best in Bham. Definitely make the trip here .

Great food, highly recommended, well worth the only slightly higher price than average. Great value and experience.

I was really looking forward to eating here however I was quite disappointed, apart from the starter, the rest of the food lacked flavour and depth. I was really looking forward to trying the lamb rogan Josh however it was watery and I couldn’t taste any of the spiciness I was expecting.

Absolutely fantastic! Can not fault a thing. Food was wonderful. Will be returning here as often as possible!

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, amazing food. We had the chicken makhani, which we highly recommend! The steamed momo starter was delicious as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.
