Jyoti in Birmingham

Ordered a veg n spinach curry. It was cold although came at a decent time. Didn't have much taste. The rotis tasted like tortilla. Very disappointed as I've been wanting to try for the longest

Good food. Good price Would prefer a bit more batter on my smasars

The best vegetarian restaurant.

Lovely proper vegetarian homely food! A true taste of home! Looking forward to trying some more dishes!

Very misleading . No dining available Waste of journey

Thank You for Your Service I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome we received at your restaurant today. Even though the restaurant section was closed, your staff graciously accommodated us and offered the breakfast menu. The food was delicious, and the service impeccable. We appreciate your flexibility and kindness. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.

So delicious food and cheap as well as best restaurant for indians I visit again surely ❣️

Jyoti serves authentic Gujarati vegetarian cuisine from fafada, kachori, gadhiya, thepla, chevado… the list goes on and on. The menu is reasonably priced and of course delicious Gujju food! I would say it is take away type namkin store… enjoy

Worst place ever. I spend £27 on food. They exactly don’t know, what the panner burji looks like. And daal is like water only. I wasted my money. I strongly recommend don’t go there. Worst food ever.

The dine in side of restaurent is closed for last 3 years . Only takeaway service. Ordered dhokla. Hard and solid and not soft and fluffy as it shud be .

Onion bhaji was a ball of besan Dhokra was too dry and firm Samosa tasteless.

Food quality is very bed. Not worth for half the price even.

Been visiting Jyoti's Vegetarian for over 10 years! Food never disappoints - huge range of food for takeaway. I always ring ahead to place an order for pick up, as samosas, mogo etc are fried fresh. Prices are reasonable and parking is a lot easier to find that other Indian Sweet / Vegetarian takeaway outlets further into Sparkbrook along Stratford Road.

I can honestly say these are the best somosa’s in birmingham.

It is purely takeaway so cannot comment on the food.

They gave us 1/4 kg and charges us for 1/2 kg and refused refund

Quite simply the best samosas I've ever bought and the green sauce that comes with them is legendary. I've been buying from them since 1986 when they were at Ladypool Road and used to travel all the way from Oldbury to buy them. Now I live near Cannock but just popped in!

I have been coming to Jyoti for almost 40 years. The food has never wavered and is a fantastic establishment offering some of the most delicious vegetarian food you will ever eat. Great value for money and well worth a visit.

Right place for Gujarati sweets and snacks.

Disappointed they closed the dine in restaurant - their take away is not what it used to be - still worth a visit

This is my go to sweet shop for my favourite samosas. Well worth my fifty mile round trip.

Very friendly people,food is always fresh and taste delicious like home made.We highly recommend Jyoti.

Amazing food, some of the best samosas ever!

Samosas are absolutely delicious!! Definitely our favourite place for veggie food

Ok tasting food. Limited vegan sweets even though I called the day before and had been told they had different vegan barfi. The man who was in the shop told me only jalebi, 2 besan sweets & laddu were vegan. Very cold & abrupt service with limited responses to questions. When I asked the man to fry the kachori to heat them instead of putting in the microwave, they were given to me microwaved.

The atmosphere is nice, very simple layout. Not much decorations at all or seating area. The store has a very wide choice of vegetarian Indian food on the menu, reasonably priced, and I believe large portions. Flavours were good and well cooked. Parking is the only problem. You can either on road or for one hour parking outside.

Just to make everyone aware, they have closed their restaurant now and they only serve limited items from their menu. The samosa and kachori we tried were very nice. They do sweets and few other Indian savoury snacks.

It's a good vegetarian place..parking is a bit tight outside...

We ordered Masala Dosa, Chana bhatura, chilly paneer and aalu paratha. Taste was really good and food was freshly cooked. Definitely will order again.

Great food.. That Thali was so good. Thanks

Mainly visit for the samosas which are lovely. Nice variety of snacks and sweets in store with friendly staff.

Always received excellent service and good variety of food too

The best samosas I've had in my life. I'm not from Birmingham but always back here for my food. Great service and tasty food. Ideal place if your vegetarian. They do all kinds of savouries and sweets.

The only place I go for my Indian food now. The food always tastes fresh and authentic - not your usual Indian takeaway fast food.

Great vegetarian and vegan food, thali's are amazing value too

Awesome samosa and cutlets fresh & hot.

Ordered takeaway from here and it went straight in the bin. Starters were greasy and soggy, like they'd been reheated several times. Curry was unbelievably tasteless and nasty. So disappointing as I chose to order from here based on the good reviews. Complete waste of money!

Quite a horrible experience, probably the worst food I have ever had the misfortune to eat ,straight from the fridge into the microwave, like eating rubber and sawdust

The best samosa, highly recommended

Always fresh and staff very friendly

Good place and friendly people. Had been there many times. Foods are always good. My favourite there is Veg Samosa with a unique taste 🤩

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Don't forget to the try the Indian sweets.

Great place for food but staff can be a little bit friendly.

The samosas are to die for you can get them freshly fried or take them home with you to fry or bake yourself , very nice and a real hidden gem

Fantastic indian veggie food...a hidden gem!....10/10

Have been coming here for over 30 years and the food is always excellent and very good value. Thalis and set meals are great if you can't make your mind up, pani puri and dhosas my favourite

Yummy food! One of our favourites.

Superbly balanced spices and expertly cooked. The malai kofta had a rice tomato sauce with fabulous balls of planner with a delicious coating...a definite revisit.

I'd definitely recommend Jyoti's to everyone, as the taste of their products compelled me to leave a review here. I've only recently discovered this place and started to buy sweets/savouries from them - everything that I've tasted so far including barfis, laddu, paida, bhaji, chevda are absolutely delicious and the taste is consistently authentic Indian. In addition, the customer service that I receive has always been excellent.

A M A Z I N G food , delicious sweets, friendly service, very clean and bright. I love it here!!! Try the Pani Puris and o.m.g the Dosas!

Feel sad writing this review as Jyotis use to be my favourite sweet centre but it's sadly gone down hill 😔 The product we're not fresh and not assali. I really hope this gets better as its a shame for a highly respected business to loose its reputation after over 20 years

Really pleased Jyoti's have reopened albeit take away. High quality vegetarian and vegan food the Dosa corner is a real Southern Indian treat.

Loved this place however the reaturant has not opened since lockdown.

I've been going here for over 30years now, it's by far the best Panni Puri you can find. Daal kachori is delicious

Delicious food freshly prepared. Excellent value

Good and friendly ready to help

Great vegetarian food .sweets & savouieris

Incredible place fantastic staff fantastic food, highly recommend.

Fantastic food and brilliant value; one of my favourite places to eat.

My wife and I were Vegetarian virgins ,but no more! Just been to Jyoti's, as we booked early, we were the first there, but we asked them to select a choice in foods, for us , which we really enjoyed.Within 15- 20 minutes the place was almost full, which enhanced our experience. Thought enjoyed everything, and even took some fresh deserts home with us. Would highly recommend, and we didn't miss any of the general meats in the curry. The best plain rice we have had before, so fluffy / fresh, not sticky. We will be returning with family/ friends. Thank you so much for the food and friendly staff service.

En lugar de ordenar del menú, pedimos una comida vegana para dos. ¡Bien! Puede que este no sea un lugar lujoso para comer, pero la comida es excelente. Cada plato era excelente y bien pensado. Completamente delicioso, incluso mi esposo no vegano comió de cada plato y realmente lo disfrutó. Mucha comida, buen tamaño de porción y servida por alguien que claramente disfrutaba de su trabajo. Buen restaurante limpio, tome su propio alcohol y comida a buen precio. Definitivamente volveremos a visitar pronto!

Always love coming here. Good authentic Indian food.

The atmosphere is nice, very simple layout. The staff are very friendly. The waiter/owner gave us larger portions of starters to accommodate our odd number party with no additional charge so lovely of him! Very wide choice of vegetarian Indian food on the menu, reasonably priced and large portions. Flavours were good, and well cooked. Parking is a tad difficult, either on road or limited to one hour parking outside.

Enjoyed the food here with friends. Went here before with family friends and the food was good. The food is tasty but mild, small but family run restaurant and it was nice the owner gave us an extra pani puri to make it equal between everyone. Reasonably priced and portions were decent.

One of the veg places i have eaten

Visitamos este lugar con algunos amigos para el almuerzo del domingo y debo decir que la comida fue increíble! Auténtica comida casera. La comida no era grasosa como los lugares indios habituales y los rotis, poori y Channa estaban fuera del mundo. El servicio también fue bueno y los propietarios acomodaron todas nuestras necesidades. Visita memorable y sin duda volveremos pronto.

Pure vegetarian Indian sweets shop and restaurant. Staff is really friendly and always fresh sweets.

Great quality vegetarian food served with a smile

Horrible food. Avoid this shop.

One of the best place to eat. Visitors come from far and wide. Nice

This is only my third visit since October and I am a hooked new customer. My partner has been visiting your restaurant (in various locations) for 30 years and is also a regular visitor. We both love the Masala Dosa plus all the other delicous foods you offer. We left feeling sated and very happy with everything. See you soon !!!

Went to it just by the positive reviews but man was I wrong. Pathetic food. It's bad if the food is not tasty or flavourless but the food here is not even in eatable condition. I usually eat next to anything, but I couldn't eat their potato curry and dosa. I am 100% sure that they have used 2 days old batter to make dosas and spoiled potatoes for the curry that goes with pooris. Don't even try there. And yeah service is incredibly slow.

Ordered a mushroom fried rice and was given just mushroom and rice seemed to be mixed at the last moment, which had no salt. Worst ever place!

So awful! Ordered a thaali to take away, the daar came in a chutney pot! My 4 year old finished it in 3 spoons. Must have a very small heart due to their Very small Portions. Aloo papdi chaat was also very unimpressive. Not authentic at all. Channa curry on papdis? I don’t think these guys know North Indian cuisine. The guy serving was evidently one of the owners. Struggled to crack a smile or make pilot conversation. Appeared to be either arrogant or bored. Either way not a positive experience at all. Interesting how there were several Jamie Oliver cuttings and posters all over the walls. Maybe to overcome denial of the awfulness of the food??

Shopping in Solihull and needed somewhere for lunch. Family run business with freshly cooked food. Lovely to be able to pick anything from menu knowing it is all veggie. Service good but could be a bit friendlier. Wonderful selection of Indian sweets - and we were tempted to take a small box away with us. Delicious.

Service very poor, waiter is so rude, food like boiled overcooked vegetable in tomato sauce. I would not recommend this place.. thank you for ruthless behaviour and smelly mouth when you spoke..

My first time here,food was ok nothing to write home bout. The guy who served me couldn't even crack a smile NO please or thank you Rather rude Won't be going there again.

Quantity is very small as compare to others,but food is nice

Im not vegetarian but my partner is and we both enjoy the food in this place. Feels very authentic when you walk in. Keep up the good work, a great vegetarian restaurant / takeaway.

Been going to Jyotis for over 10 years, never had a bad meal. Very dubious of the poor reviews...think they must be jealous owners of less good local restaurants. Also the complaint that the food isn't spicy (hot), did you ask for it to be made that way? I like mine very hot and they are happy to serve it that way. Really good value food with a great selection that is mostly vegan too.

Couldn't try, they open only at 12.30pm, went to Kadak chai opposite them instead

The food doesn't taste great. Far from authentic Indian taste. The place is very tidy and neat though. They take orders only till 9pm for a restaurant that closes at 10pm!

Good place with nice ambience for someone who's very choosy about a vegetarian restaurant.

Very good veggie food. The thali was just amazing. Great price too.

Sensational! Super tasty, fresh and filling!

Would not recommend. Food was not good, neither was the staff friendly.

The only thing served warm in this restaurant is food. Everything else is cold. Begins with a cold reception and continues with a cold, lonely exit. Average food, at least what we ordered. Special Dosa, Chana-Bhatutra etc. Samosa chaat was quite good hence 2 stars. It is a family run restaurant and apparently Jamie Oliver always comes down to this place whenever he is in Birmingham. Will be very surprised if he still does. There are several far better places to eat similar kind of food in the area. Unfortunately would not go back in there again.

Great place, friendly staff and food is awesome 👌

In the rare instance I don’t want meat then this does the job for me. Delicious and authentic and an absolute bargain

Polite staff, I brought 2 samosas which came to £1 and they had been freshly fried....yum

Really good vegetarian Indian food.

Very nice place. Went there with my Indian family but we couldn't sit down to try some food due to refurbishment been going on. A part from that lovely vegetarian food

The food is very tasty. Although the food is very expensive. Went there a year ago and tax was not charged. Went there recently and a very high amount of tax was charged. The restaurant was trying to get more profit by disguising the extra charge as tax.

Food quality is really good. More appetite.

Never fails. Perfect food, perfect service.

Great vegetarian restaurant for dining and take away👍

I am a meat eater through and through. Jyoti's was a great change. Very very tasty food I thoroughly enjoyed eating here. Strongly recommended!

Love this place and try and visit as often as possible. The Pani Puri are fantastic and the Dosas with the coconut sauce are incredible!

This place dose not do gujrati food more like Jain food. Tasteless no onions or garlic used. Appalling taste. Will not be visiting again.

My favourite place in Birmingham for vegetarian food ..samosa chaat is the best
