This is our go to Indian. The staff are polite and professional and the food is consistently delicious, there is a wide range of dishes to choose from, although I stick to my old favourite. The banquet night is very good value . It is bring your own alcohol, however Joy sell a range of soft drinks including alcohol free beer. Definitely worth a visit.

Best Indian food in the area, excellent service from friendly staff, always accommodate us no matter when or how many ,warm and friendly welcome

Very nice food along with great service all the staff were attentive and friendly would definitely recommend to anyone

Amazing service Rlly nice food And overall just a wonderful environment Probably one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to by far

Lovely food great service, was spotlessly clean and had a friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend, will definitely visit again

Amazing curries, great atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to, highly recommend!

Been here many times before and always had an amazing meal. Service always excellent too. Very friendly atmosphere. Will be back again soon

4 of us really enjoyed our meals. Very tasty and large helpings. Would recommend and will look forward to a return visit.

Really nice food and desserts definitely recommend. Waiters Kamran and Ridhwan excellent service aswell.

Decided to try the Banquet Evening. Luckily we booked a table, arrived at 7 & the restaurant was busy. We've eaten here before & were very impressed, we decided to try the banquet evening and expected the menu & dishes to be smaller as it was a set & very reasonably priced, we were so wrong. The sizes were as large as normal, the food excellent. We started with lovely fresh crunchy poppadoms. The only dishes not available are fish, this made me try a different starter than normal and I had the Chicken Chat Puree, perfect, probably my new go to. The mains came and were delicious (butter chicken, lamb balti, mushroom rice & naan). We ended up taking home a doggy bag and couldn't even manage pudding or coffee - included in the price. Fab meal once again (also good takeaways), the staff are very friendly and even though very busy always were smiling and chatty and certainly did not rush us between courses.

Faultless. Excellent food and service. Loved being able to take my own choice of drink. Read complaints about the 12.5% service charge can’t understand why as the service and food was worth well more. Will be returning and recommending

It was absolutely great. Went for the Wednesday banquet had a blast perfect family outing and the manger and staff were so nice.

What a JOYous experience I had the other night. The staff were lovely and the curry’s were all to a high standard. Great flavour and taste! Would highly recommend this local cuisine. Must give it a try! Definitely amazed us! Better than a lot of...

Food was very good, service was amazing overall 10/10 restaurant. Staff were really nice, starters were amazing.

Really good service polite happy and quick. Really nice food and will definitely come back enjoyed my visit🙌

We always get a take away from here when staying in the area. No issues with delivery to the site reception. Delicious as always and very generous portions.

Very good food. All 3 of our party were impressed with the food that was served. The staff were polite and the service was good. No alcohol served however you can bring your own drinks. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Our first dine in experience here, after having a recent takeaway. Food was delicious, and very good value as it's BYOB only. Loved the keema cheese nan. Currently a special discount for Mon-Wed in January. Friendly and efficient staff. Will return soon.

Visited on a Wednesday and a banquet menu was available at £15.95. Excellent value for money. Food was freshly prepared and extremely taste. Staff where friendly and efficient. Currently able to take your own drinks which makes it even better value.

While they no longer sell alcohol, they tell you when you book and are happy to serve your own if you take it with you. They will even keep in in the fridge. Food was great, and large portion compared to what we are used...

Once again we checked TripAdvisor before going our findings are as follows. The starter course was served quickly and was fresh and of good quality.. the main course of butter chicken and chicken fried was fresh and plentiful the chicken fried rice was well cooked...

My first curry from Joy. Omg - loved it. Very efficient, friendly service. The food was amazing and some extra bits in there too. Will visit again. Thank-you

Brilliant Meal. So tasty and excellent value. The delivery guy was so joyful too. Thank you. Will definitely be ordering again.

This restaurant has good reviews and I've been told that it was good food so I gave it a try. I wanted my food hot so I opted to collect the food myself rather that use the free delivery service; unfortunately the food was pretty cold by the time I made the short trip home so into the microwave it went.I ordered a chicken jalfrezi, a dish I have had many times before, but it wasn't great. Big pieces of chicken in a brown sauce with onions. No taste or spice and the only heat was from one chilli that I found in the bottom of the dish. My partner had a korma which she said was better, but maybe a little too sweet. We both ordered naan bread which again was cold and my garlic naan wasn't the best. I don't know if we had a bad day from this restaurant, but I will try the other restaurants in the area to see what they have to offer.

Had a great family meal! Order was perfect and the delivery timing was as quoted on the phone. Food always amazing! High recommend:)

Best meal I’ve had out ever. 100% recommend and will be coming back soon. Amazing stuff, very polite and the service was on point.

Great food, unique and big portion sizes. Great service with polite staff. Would highly recommend this Indian Restaurant by far the best!!

We have used this takeaway for years since living in ferndown but everytime we get a takeaway it’s a little bit worse, tonight’s feast was very Very sub par, I don’t normally complain but for £30 for 2 naans, 2 madras, 1 rice & 5 poppadoms you would expect it to be nice.Delivery would have been a while so I went to collect which I don’t mind I live locally about 2 mins round the corner We were so hungry we delved into the meal (one madras was meant to be mild but tasted like a watery korma with no spice and coco-nutty).The other madras for my partner was a swimming pool of water, basically water was running off the plate, and it was not spicy, the chicken was overdone so it was tough and our naans were burnt This is not somewhere where we’d usually get a bad meal from so we were very disappointed and will probably not be going back there again which is a shame as it’s 2 mins round the corner, I don’t know if there’s 2 different chefs but it has been so hit and miss we won’t be recommending it

Joy is consistently good. Great portions, quality and amazing tastes. Recommend highly. Great home delivery service - order the day before to get on time in busy periods.

Had takeout from Joy, we ordered by phone and collected 15 minutes later. Everything was great and very tasty. One of the nicest curries we have had.

We saw this place after coming out of another restaurant and having a poor experience, tried this a few days later and what a find. Staff attentive but not over the top. We live near Brighton and we would say this is the best we have tried in a really long time. So much so that we are coming back here when we next visit Dorset. My son and I had a Dhansak and the amount of prawns in my dish was just amazing and my son had plenty of chicken. Husband had his normal Korma and he has been telling everyone how much food and how creamy the sauce was. Great value for money. Please don't tell everyone, we wont to come back real soon.

Brilliant evening. Our family meal was perfect. Very very clean & covid safe. Highly recommended and will certainly be going again. Thanks lads,, brilliant

We have be enjoying both take-aways and dining in at Joy Ferndown for over 8 years. The food is always fresh, hot and tasty. The service is exemplary whether you eat in or take away. Can not recommend enough!

Just had our fourth home delivery from The Joy. As usual delivered within the promised 40 minutes and very tasty and authentic. Just had Chicken Tikka Passenda, veg fried rice with Chicken Tikka starter. Now totally sated and looking forward to my next delivery. Warmly recommended.

some great house specials not surprising as the owner was brought up in Brick Lane London good flavour and spicy without boing too hot
