Travelling back and forward couple years now from london for business i have struggled to find a proper quality indian around here and the surrounding areas until i found joes masala hut. Consistenly perfect and is just one of the best indians ive ever had the pleasure of eating from every single time, if they had a sit in restaurant it would flourish in this area

usually beautiful curries from here but ordered a tikka masala and it just wasn't the same. The chicken was delicious as normal but the sauce just wasn't the same, it wasn't as creamy and just tasted like tinned tomatoes. The naan bread was as lovely as usual. Hopefully it was just a one off

Ordered piri piri chips with chicken tikka massala and chilli cheese naan and egg fried rice Chips had were cold and completely uncooked and next to no flavour. Rice was cold. I rang the restaurant within 1minute of the driver leaving and the man on the phone told me I could have discount next but I wanted the food replacing straight away and told me the driver was busy and too far into.his round, however I rang literally withing 1 minute of him leaving and even paid him tip.

What a joke, ordered at 6.30 said food would be delivered at 8.30 this wasn’t a problem but at 9.30 food still hadn’t turned up so tried speaking on their online chat which was a waste of time then tried ringing 85 times and they never picked up, had to ring my daughter to go around and ask what was going on, all they said was sorry and gave her a small bottle of Fanta. If I could of gone around myself I would have but me and my wife had Covid, if I could’ve given no stars I would. Food arrived at 10pm we wouldn’t have got it if my daughter never went to collect it. Message don’t take orders if you can’t deliver, ring customers don’t just take their money. Won’t be using this take away again.

Been using this takeaway for a while. Generally it has been ok,but recently it's gone down in customer service and food quality. Ordered a delivery 2 and half hours prior to time of delivery and was still 30 minutes late. The food has become samey. My dupiasa,patia,and chicken jalfrasi the last few weeks look and tastes the same.No depth of flavour just heat.Shame as it has been good but recently the food has not been as good.

I buy Joe’s curries via a local shop by me in Bromsgrove every Thursday and I’ve got to say Joe’s are the best I’ve had to date. The curries are rich and tasty but not overpowering, not swimming in grease like some takeaways are, huge portions one can easily be shared between two and loads of fresh well cooked chicken tikka meat. Some curries you have there’s about 3/4 chucks of Chicken, not in Joes when I counted there were 12/13 chunks of tikka meat in the tray, so as said one curry with rice and naan is plenty enough shared with two, and if you could eat one all to yourself you’d wouldn’t be able to moved after 😂

First order based on google reviews. I am frankly a little shocked that I've lived in this city for 40 years yet never been here before, I did not even know it existed, was just looking for hidden gems not on uber and such and my word didn't I just find one. I've eaten many an Asian dinner in my day but this was among the best, reminded me of the long lost monsoon balti house on Gosford street, amazing food from Joe's, so happy to have found you. Jalfrezi was wonderful, balanced, Dhal was stunning. Also the pricing is very good indeed.

We started using this takeaway about 6 wks ago as our usual place started delivering late and was getting our food order wrong. I have got to say I'm glad they did as this place is a gem and coz it's out of the way I think it gets missed. But believe me it's one of the best curry houses in Coventry if not the best. The staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is to much trouble and you can tell by talking to them they will always give you a fab service. I would highly recommend you try masala Joe's out you won't be disappointed. One last thing there prices are really reasonable as well.

I begrudge giving a 2 star rating but have to. Food was excellent. Biggest portion sizes I've seen from an Indian restaurant in a while. My gripe is that you allowed me to order on foodhub and pay for it only to have to wait over 2 hours for my food. And then the delivery guy tells me you dont actually deliver to my area. WHY LET ME ORDER FOOD FOR DELIVERY THEN???? Conflicted cuz it was good but not 2hrs delivery good!!!!

Estupendo. No hay otra palabra. Comí el pollo akbari, con un keema naan y arroz hervido, y fue magnífico. Mi esposa tenía una madras de pollo, papas fritas, arroz y un naan. Mi hija tenía la tradición de pollo tikka masala por 1 vez en la calle (la versión asiática más tradicional) y dijo que era el mejor curry que ha tenido. Si te gusta el dulce masala británico te pido que pruebes la versión tradicional no te arrepentirás. El camarero está en otro nivel lleno de espíritus altos, incluso si la comida era tan así que valdría la pena una visita para verlo. Estoy sorprendido de las críticas negativas porque he estado viniendo aquí durante años y nunca he tenido una mala comida. Una persona comentó diciendo que desearían haber escuchado las críticas, bueno tal vez deberías, porque hay 175 excelentes críticas contra 5 terribles, lo que indica que eres tú quien está en la más pequeña de las minorías.
