He estado yendo aquí/ordenando comida para llevar de estos chicos durante años porque son absolutamente brillantes. La comida es realmente maravillosa y el servicio es impecable, especialmente Shah que siempre es atento, amable y da grandes consejos sobre los numerosos platos maravillosos. Siempre tratamos de ir al menos una vez al mes (y por el momento tienen una gran oferta en comer entre semana lunes/jueves 5). 30 - 9 . 30 por lo que consiguió un 30% de descuento en nuestra deliciosa comida habitual). ¡¿Qué es no amar?!

Vinimos a cenar aquí con amigos y familiares y como de costumbre nos fuimos diciendo que es la mejor comida india que cualquiera de nosotros haya tenido. La comida siempre es 10/10 y porciones tan generosas además de deliciosas, pero lo que hace que el raj de alegría sea tan maravilloso y por qué seguimos volviendo es el servicio. El servicio siempre es excepcional, y Shabs era increíblemente servicial y servicial, incluso asegurándose de que teníamos mango extra chutney para evitar que yo y mis maridos peleamos habitualmente por ello! celebramos todos nuestros grandes eventos de la vida aquí y mucho tiempo que continúe!

We come to the joy raj regularly and it always is the best Indian in Bristol, the service is wonderful, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is perfect it’s always busy but you aren’t on top of people so you can talk. For the last five years we have always come here for big celebrations and today came for our anniversary and Shabs as always made our trip, he wished us happy anniversary and went the extra mile to make it special! No other Indian in Bristol compares to the food here.

First time ordering from here. We have The Clove at the top of our road and I wish we’d just ordered from them as usual. There is no Joy from The Joy Raj when they forget your naan bread, they tell you you are too far away for them to deliver it and can you come and collect it “My Love” What a loveless and joyless experience. Arrrrgh NEVER AGAIN!

This place is comfortably up there as one of the best curry houses in Bristol. From start to finish all of the food was excellent and a perfect pint of cobra to match. The restaurant itself is lovely and unique being underground. The price is also excellent for the otherwise expensive area of Clifton. A great evening with Shabs and the team.

Honestly, gutted We got so rushed to order food we couldn’t even order drinks then poppadoms then starters then mains… had to all be in one go No wonder it was empty Anyway The poppodoms and chutney tray was nice tbf but the best came first for sure The onion bhajis were so doughy The Sheek kebab was tasteless The prawn puri was so basic and frozen The chicken tikka best part was onions Mains… The naan bread was so doughy and the Keema was so minimal The drinks are bottled no draught The biryani was so dry The chicken jalfrezi was so saucy and the shredded chicken had no flavour The buttered chicken was sooooo buttery and felt more like a watery korma The side of spinach paneer was so watery and the cheese was so chewy Overall: We do a “curry club” every other month and this has been the worst one in 2 years of doing so (and the only bad review so far) Gutted lads

I was returning to Bristol after 20 plus years for a week with my wife. Most of the restaurants I used to frequent had closed or were now something different. I remembered eating here so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in the basement and lacked a little charm but the staff and the food made up for this. Our waiter Shab was very professional and my bespoke meal of fish korai, madras hot was not a problem. The poppadoms were very light and not greasy and there were 5 different chaat dishes rather than the usual 3 or 4. The tarka Dahl was delicious, however my wife’s prawn korai was a slight underwhelming. In hindsight she wished she’d ordered the same as me. Overall we had a lovely meal and ordered a delivery 2 days later. This time we both had the fish korai madras hot which was superb.

This place was recommended to us on a recent visit to Clifton when we visited Bristol. We were not disappointed! Delicious food from a wide ranging menu, we did have to ask one of the waiters for a suggestion and they were most helpful - the chicken Hunza, a very different but tasty dish!. We will definitely be back!

On arrival we were warmly greeted and seated straight away. Our drinks order was taken and these arrived quickly, we were also able to order poppadoms and pickles whilst deciding on what to eat. If I was to have one slight issue, and this is a common problem with many restaurants, it would be that the soft drinks range should be just as extensive as the alcohol range etc. and of similar size ranges, not just tiny little bottles. As our group had not met up for some considerable time we did take quite a while before placing our main food order, but this was not a problem for the staff as they were available when we required them but they remained in the background and were not pushy or overbearing in trying to get us to place our order. The food menu was wide ranging and well explained, the staff were also more than willing to alter dishes to accommodate dietary requirements where possible and were knowledgable about the ingredients of each dish. The quality of the food was very good and it was evident that care and attention had been put into each and every dish that we had. The food was well presented and portion sizes were plentiful, certainly everyone was very well fed. After our main course was cleared we were provided with hot towels to freshen our hands, and with out bill we received chocolates for everyone. A good time was definitely had by everyone. I thank all the staff at the Joy Raj for a great evening out.

Table booked for 7pm, food arrived 8:40pm. No apple juice, non-alcoholic or draught beer. Place in a poor state of repair. The very many Deliveroo riders clearly took priority and on a cold night their constant arrival and departure through the door sent a frequent icy blast of freezing cold air towards our table. Will not be returning. Food was ok but in no way made up for a very disappointing evening.

Food ok, staff quiet pleasant, service was good. However, the place was in a pretty poor state… we entered the smoky plain stairway – at the bottom of the stairway there was hole in the wall.. nice! Then enter into the dining area.. once inside there was a musty smell, the furniture is very tired, the carpet was full of stains and marks and was lifting near the kitchen area, the wall paper was bubbling in a lot of places and in some instances torn and hanging off the wall.. some of the ceiling lights were hanging down out of their fixtures.. other broken light fittings hanging down. There are many other Indian restaurants around the local area, so until the place is sorted I think I’ll be dining elsewhere..

Unfortunately the restaurant delivered the food very late and very cold so my review is quite biased. The order was marked as 'Driver on way' an hour before the food arrived, so I was not surprised the food was so cold. However, I do think if the.food was warm/hot it wouldn't have been any better, as quality wasn't good. Even the order of dips was wrong. If restaurant are too busy to provide a decent level of service, stop taking orders for a brief period, unfortunately Joy Raj didn't preferred taking too many orders resulting in poor service. Hopefully it was just my order ruined last night. Maybe on another night it would be better, but I won't order from again. Just my personal review of my experience.

Ubicado en una unidad del sótano en el área popular de Clifton Village, este es mucho más que su restaurante tradicional indio que las versiones más modernas y contemporáneas que tienden a ser más populares en estos días y se completaron con la música tradicional india.El menú ofrecía una amplia selección de todos los platos típicos favoritos de la casa de curry, así como una gran selección de especialidades y recomendaciones del chef. Fui por un pollo Roshan Tikka Bhuna con ajo frito picado, tomates cortados en cubitos y cilantro y, en general, fue un plato decente y sabroso que comimos con arroz pilau. A Garlic, Chilli & Keema fue quizás un poco decepcionante, ya que ni el ajo ni el chile son particularmente notables.En general, aunque pensé que no había nada de malo en esto, tenía la sensación de estar en algún lugar atrapado en una distorsión del tiempo en lugar de evolucionar para satisfacer las expectativas de hoy.

En primer lugar, el servicio al cliente fue excelente, muy receptivo y amable, y no tuvimos que esperar mucho. Pedimos tres curries, dos tipos de arroz y un par de lados, junto con naan, poppadums y selección de salsas y todo fue absolutamente delicioso. Realmente fresco y sabroso con porciones muy generosas. Entre los tres, tuvimos muchas cosas que recorrer y lo disfrutamos mucho. Definitivamente pediré a Joy Raj la próxima vez que me apetezca un curry.

Ambiente horrible, servicio frustrante, camareros aburridos, poco entusiastas, entrantes súper aceitosos e insípidos (habíamos pedido bhaji de cebolla y papadams: ambos súper aceitosos). En general, muy mala experiencia. No recomendaría este restaurante a nadie. Fuimos allí leyendo reseñas en línea, y todos los buenos restaurantes de los alrededores estaban llenos en ese momento. Las malas luces amarillas y los sofás rojos son muy deprimentes. Los camareros no estaban interesados en absoluto en servirnos y la nuestra era la única familia que había venido a cenar allí. Las toallas / servilletas húmedas calientes son lo único bueno de este restaurante. Descansa todo fue malo. Un gran NO para este restaurante.

I've had takeaways from Joy Raj in the past but have never dined in the restaurant until now. I came to eat with two friends on a Thursday night and the restaurant was pleasingly busy but the service was still very quick and attentive. We ordered a mountain of poppadoms that came with a great selection of chutneys, and the poppadoms were perfect - crisp but not too oily. The curry itself was the same, all the ingredients tasted very fresh and it wasn't oily or greasy like some curries can be. I chose the chicken tikka karai which had a great level of spice without being overpowering. One of my friends is vegan and she said her vegetable curry was delicious, and came with chunks of potato for a more substantial dish. We shared some sag aloo, a garlic naan and a peshwari naan (we were very hungry!) and all were packed with flavour. The house white wine is decent too, and very affordable.

Al ordenar me di cuenta de que el restaurante valoraba la comida mal. Se disculparon y juntos pasamos por los costos. Cobraron dos libras de entrega y dos libras en la parte superior para cubrir el costo del puente colgante de Clifton. Todavía había una discrepancia en lo que originalmente dijeron que sería. Que ordenó, la comida llegó a tiempo. Sin embargo hacía calor. Necesitaba calentarse lentamente hasta una temperatura más adecuada. El sabor era genial, disfrutado por todos. Sin desperdicio.

I’ve just had a great authentic Indian food experience outside of India! Amazing menu covering all sorts of food from various regions - there’s something for all taste buds - from mild to fiery spicy. I am very special when it comes to Indian food as I’ve been to India before and also know some great Indian chefs. This is the first restaurant outside of India that truly impressed my taste buds. Thanks!

As we frequently visit Bristol, we always enjoy the bars in Clifton village, but the restaurants are sometimes hit or miss. We came here a couple of years ago, and tried it again last Friday night - the place was almost full at 9pm, great atmosphere and quick friendly service. It is licenced and does draught Cobra, so saves a trip to the nearby Tesco's. Food was really tasty, we had the obligatory poppadums, plus chicken naga (cannot remember the exact name of this dish but it does have naga in it), veggie dhansak, sag aloo, chilli paneer, rice and breads...all fab, chilli paneer slightly disappointing as I prefer big chunks of the stuff. Great heat in all the dishes (I tend to sneak a few rocket chillies with me in case our menu of choice isn't up to the heat it describes, but no need this time - perfect). Highly recommended and we'll be going next time we're in the area.

Our second visit to this little gem of a Indian restaurant. Tucked away downstairs from the busy main road - the food was delicious and service was polite and friendly. If you are looking for a great Indian restaurant in Clifton, this is definitely one to try!

We stumbled into the pub by chance and were very pleased. We had burgers and super tasty mozzarella sticks.

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how wonderful the food is here! This is without doubt the best Indian food in Bristol! ….we eat in as the service is exceptionally friendly and accommodating and it makes a change from being at home but some may find the environment a little simplistic; in which case bring good company, good wine and good conversation! The Pathia, Achari and Chana Paneer are out of this world! Try it out or try a take away…you won’t be disappointed!
