Joy Express - Bournemouth

My partner and I were the only ones in the restaurant tonight. Joy is a new Indian cuisine eatery with a menu featuring some signature dishes along with the classic favorites. Despite being the only diners, we received good attention and were able to enjoy our meal without interruption. The food was of excellent quality, including the poppadoms and dips. We particularly enjoyed the chicken and ginger with spinach dish, as well as the basmati rice and brinjal bargi. The restaurant had nice background music, clean facilities, and even offered a complimentary drink. I highly recommend this new spot in Southborn. Be sure to check out their Wednesday Banquet for £12.95 per person for a 3-course meal. Don't miss out!

I have never experienced such slow and indifferent service at a restaurant before. My party and I waited for an hour and a half for our meals, just like all the other customers in the restaurant. It was clear that the staff was prioritizing takeout orders and deliveries over the dine-in customers.

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant and would highly recommend it. The staff was exceptionally welcoming and friendly. We would definitely dine here again if we are in the area.

Went here with friends, one was late arriving restaurant was patient with us until they arrived. Restaurant was very busy looks like they give vouchers out for Thursday's. Food was excellent , we had a naga curry it was very hot and tasty. All of us enjoyed what we had. Booked on tablepouncer so Bill was excellent.

Despite booking, we were sat on a table in the hallway to the toilet. They did re-seat us when asked. They seem to prioritize the takeaway trade over the diners. Service was a bit slow. Food was really nice though.
