ju ju's cafe

we discovered ju ju's this summer during a walk along the canal and since we go there regularly. every meal in this restaurant is a pleasant time when we enjoy authentic dishes and good quality. the service is pleasant and attentive. we tried the sunday roast and the cheesecake that are "just amazing". remember to book your table on before coming because it's mostly crowded.

i visited this place with my family and this restaurant is incredible. located in canal square in birmingham not far from broad street. this restaurant offers a beautiful modest and intimate venue which allows you to really soak up the atmosphere. the incredible thing is that if you have a taste for something which isn't on the menu or a special dietary need, and if they have the ingredients, they will happily make you something to your taste. you have to go there.

amazing food and service. i went for the cock a leekie which wasn't a light and hearty broth. my husband had the braised ox cheek... to die for! and then we shared a sticky toffee pudding with custard which was delightful. fab service and great recommendations on the menu, we'll definitely be back!

this is by far the best british restaurant in birmingham, and probably the whole of the uk! the food portions are massive and really savory. yes british cuisine can be tasty when handled by the right people, and the owners of juju's cafe know how to do their thing! the service is terrific: i have no doubt they're the warmest and friendliest lot in the business. no matter what, the staff will make you feel at home, comfy, cozy and well taken care of. if you don't like traditional british cuisine, just come for the service, you won't regret it!

this is the friendliest of places. sitting down by the side of the canal there is no where better in birmingham to have your full english breakfast,  lunch too is great value.

we chose this place because of its location and recommendation. on arrival we were greeted warmly and politely by the staff. we ordered the sharing breakfast platter for two with a glass of fresh orange each and extra toast for one. the quality of the food was good although a little cool ,and the price was a little under £21 for that i would have expected a couple of sausage and bacon rashers each and that's why i'm not giving top marks.

the front of the menu at ju ju’s reads ‘welcome to ju ju’s’ in large font.  rarely has such a statement been so simple yet so accurate.  its a place where the worst of people could go in and leave smiling.  i know this because i have been and i fall very much into that worst category.  it does not offer much to the culinary world other than a big hug and a kiss to the forehead, but that’s fine with me; comfort is underrated is modern cooking.  flavour is too often sacrificed for finesse, heartiness lost to dainty dressing.  not here.  at ju ju’s julia is boss and her world is about feeding others.

i have been to ju ju's for the third time and i have never been disappointed with the great level of service and the food! last time i was there i had the fish & chips and was not only beautifully presented, was delicious too! the prices are reasonable considering the freshness and quality of the products used and julia is a lovely lady. i would recommend you to give it a try.

i was there with my mates last night and i took myself the fish and chips which was very good and nachos we ate before the food was also great. it has a more cafe feel than a restaurant. they have a service which is in my opinion extraordinary. good food and wonderful staff! the food was slightly more expensive than the average for the same in other places, but it was probably worth it anyway.

they serve great food in a relaxed ambience! been there twice and we tried eggs in purgatory, luxurious royal eggs with salmon (not on zomato's menu), scrambled eggs with salmon, juju's hash, and pancakes.
the pancakes and eggs in purgatory are totally recommended if you are going there!

having read excellent reviews and being highly recommended, i couldn't wait to try out juju's food. juju's cafe is all about serving fresh local sourced ingredients cooking up the best of traditional british english cuisine. it's location is not far off by the surroundings of birmingham's well recognised broad street, brindley place - the canal and the nia. not also are they passionate about serving great food, they also provide superb service from the owner herself & the team.
