"Terrible visit. Theywere nice at first. I arrived no reservation at 4.15 pm. Very early and I said I 'd wait but they seated me anyway. The older man/ owner waited on me ...he was nice. We crossed wires when I requested if the music be turned down just a touch. He then lowered it almost to nothing. I have autistic spectrum issues.i wear ear defenders and wax earplugs. I know I am different and I can handle some music. I am careful and go to dine outside busy hours. I don 't ride the bus between 4-6 because too many people and too noisy. Anyway I spoke to older man again after my main meal, when he was clearing away.... to express I like the music I just wishing/enquiring if it could be turned down wee a bit. Finally we got a nice 5/10 volume. I was I only patron in the restaurant and he could have said no. I was easily going to have £30 bill. About 5 pm a delivery driver enters into the restaurant. i knowthis because he brings i delivery bags and sits and plays on his phone.Though I don 't speak Pakistani I knew the older gentleman had told the delivery driver about me and volume of music. About 10 mins in the delivery make turned up volume looking at me as he did. I startled and went to put my eardefenders over my wax plugs already in. He saw my reaction turned it down. He turned it up quite a lot. My meal was over I was just finishing my glass of wine and the older gentleman and I were exchanging niceties. ... Smirking and smiling the delivery man did it again! I was very startled and fed up and jumped to leave. Terrible. No respect. Awful way to end my 1 time visit. I will never go back. I spoke to this young man as I called him directly. He 's not young 35 I 'd say. I told him how unkind he was and he just laughed and smiled and smirked. Like his mother was scolding him. He obviously is spoiled or something to behave in such a way. No knowledge of how to build and keep a restaurant. Patrons are paramount. I was soft and kind....not rude....not demanding. I felt awful. Still feel awful."

"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."
