Joy Bangla — Restaurant in Wakefield

Firstly the service was incredibly poor. Our server took half our tables drinks orders and left, meaning half our table didn’t have drinks until we reminded him. Not a single smile or welcoming tone from our servers throughout.

4 out of 8 of our table ordered the chicken tikka masala. Let me give you a warning… just don’t. This wasn’t a curry. This was some chicken in an orange coconut sauce. It was so sweet I felt like I was eating desert for my main. None of our table finished their masala, in fact leaving an awful lot.

Fortunately the rest of our party were happy to share and to the restaurants credit, the other curries on the table were quite nice, but that unfortunately didn’t make up for the pool of orange dyed coconut soup I had.

I understand putting a twist on a dish, but I’m also a firm believer of “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”… maybe just make a standard tikka masala?

We won’t be returning unfortunately. And I recommend you try...

I have visited Joy Bangla many times over the past 7/8 months and I have never been disappointed. I stumbled upon the restaurant by chance with my family and we all said from the start that it was the best Indian food we have eaten in the UK (and we are regular eaters of Indian food). The broad menu means you can always try something different (if you can resist getting the same thing again because I can assure you it will be incredible). The service is outstanding. All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and make you feel at home. Shuhel (manager) is the most genuine, caring and passionate owner I’ve come across. He truly cares about his business and strives to make every customer’s experience the best it can be. I have never felt so content in a restaurant. I don’t just recommend, I highly encourage you to attend Joy Bangla and experience a fantastic evening of food....

I have been here now about 3 or 4 times, and by far some of the tastiest, authentic cuisine. King Prawn en Puri starter is so tasty. The service is also impeccable. I called in this evening without a reservation with my sister and our children and we're treated like royalty. Fabulous cuisine and fabulous service. I had forgotten it was a cash only place, and told the staff that i would nip out after we had ordered the mains. I was worrying slightly as i do not like the feeling of not having the money on me, but they were so kind and said not to worry and i could sort it out after the meal. Considering what some people do like leaving without paying, this was incredibly kind of you We loved our evening, thank...
