NIMTO Indian And Nepalese Restaurant
Tucked away on Groveley Lane in Birmingham, NIMTO Indian And Nepalese Restaurant brings together the rich culinary heritage of the Himalayas and the Indian subcontinent in a cozy, welcoming space that’s perfect for dinner or a solo night out. Whether you’re popping in for a small plate or settling down for a full feast, there’s something instantly charming about the vibe here.
The menu is a celebration of bold spices, slow-cooked curries, and aromatic grilled meats. One of the first things you’ll notice is how effortlessly the dishes blend the warmth of Indian classics with the rustic authenticity of Nepalese cooking. It’s not every day you find a place where the gentle heat of a chicken tikka sits comfortably alongside momos - those beloved Nepalese dumplings - and both are done right.
NIMTO understands the art of layering flavors. Their small plate offerings are a standout - perfect for those who like to explore multiple dishes in one sitting. If you’re in the mood for something light but packed with flavor, their vegetarian options don’t shy away from bold seasoning, while the meat dishes are deeply marinated and grilled to juicy perfection. It’s the kind of place where even something as simple as a garlic naan has that “just-one-more-bite” magic.
Adding to the experience, the restaurant also serves cocktails, wine, and beer, making it easy to pair your meal with a drink that fits your mood. Whether it's a crisp lager to go with a spicy vindaloo or a classic gin-based cocktail to wind down the evening, the drink list is surprisingly well thought out for a place that centers its identity around food.
The dine-in setting is casual but intimate, ideal for solo diners who want a quiet meal or couples catching up over curry. If you’re not staying in, their delivery and takeaway services are efficient, and the no-contact delivery option is a welcome touch for those who prefer convenience with safety in mind.
Despite being nestled in a quiet part of Cofton Hackett, NIMTO Indian And Nepalese Restaurant knows how to create a dining experience that feels much bigger than its footprint. With late-night food options available, it’s a solid pick for those evening cravings, especially when you want more than just the typical takeaway. The menu feels handcrafted, the service is attentive, and the flavors linger in the best way.
For anyone in the Birmingham area looking to try something outside the usual curry house fare, this spot delivers a fresh angle on South Asian cuisine - one that’s equally rooted in Indian comfort food and Nepalese soul. It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once - you keep it in your mental list of “go-to favorites” because it simply gets it right.
Whether it’s the aroma of cardamom from a slow-simmered sauce or the crispy edges of tandoori meat kissed by flame, NIMTO Indian And Nepalese Restaurant manages to balance tradition with personality. The small touches - from clean seating to the thoughtfully curated dessert list - show that someone here truly cares about the diner’s full journey.
Had great time here. Staff were wonderful (especially with our wild children) and the food was delicious! They even did a half portion for the kids which was really helpful.Vegetarian options: Nice veggie balti
