I went here with my girlfriend to try something new and i was not disappointed.

The food was great and we got to try lots of different things, the staff were friendly... More

we took our son,having sung it's praises to him. As expected, the restaurant lived up to it's reputation. Definitely Nepali/Indian cooking with a difference (healthier, fresher and contemporary in style and presentation). The lamb chop, momos, coyla, nepali style curry, rogan josh and Hash ko masu (duck) were delicious the meat was succulent and tender. The service was impeccable. Our... More

Have been to the Jojolapa a number of times and it just seems to get better and better each visit. The staff are so friendly and will gladly help you with the menu and recommend dishes. The restaurant is clean and comfortable (advisable to book at weekends). The dishes are Nepalese and taste better than most Indian restaurants - the... More

The only problem I encountered was that... More
