"Having visited the Joshua Tree prior to it becoming an Indian restaurant, I had high hopes! Sadly these hopes were dashed rather quickly. Popadoms, were a tad soft, tandoori prawns mushy, Chicken 65 fried and dry, lamb chops small, however the chilli beef was the saviour of the starters! Mains were ordered, warm plates set out and there we sat. To pass the time more drinks were ordered however we had to chase as they were not forthcoming unlike the takeaway orders which were flowing out of the kitchen at regular intervals. At one point during our wait the waiter apologised for the delay in our main meals being cooked due to a problem with an oven. We accepted this explanation, however when more takeaways kept coming out of the kitchen with no sign of our mains, frustration started to mount. After 50 minutes, with warm plates cold we asked for the bill. The one waiter who was run ragged apologised profusely, a second waiter came out and informed us our dinner was ready and brought out one main course which looked like it had been sitting on the pass for the length of time we had been waiting! The run ragged waiter produced our bill, deducted our starters which was extremely kind, however the overall experience had been ruined. This visit was extremely disappointing. Had the restaurant been heaving, it wouldn’t have been so bad. Joshua Tree you might have a booming takeaway business but please remember your restaurant customers are equally as important!"

"Myself and my partner had a takeout from here for the first time this evening. The girl on the phone was very pleasant and the food arrived promptly, however that's as positive as it got. My partner's chicken chow mein had literally no sauce through it, just dry overcooked chicken with burned noodles. The curry sauce which he ordered was like wallpaper paste, but lacking in any distinct flavour. I had the chicken and yellow bean, which was edible but nothing amazing. I also ordered chips and gravy but I have no idea how they can call it gravy. It was yellow, which made me think it was actually curry sauce, but it just tasted off. We phoned to ask for a refund given how unsatisfied we were with the food we received, however the manager was immediately defensive and said that as it was our first time ordering from there, we obviously weren't used to the food (what?! . Instead of apologising and offering a full refund (which any decent company would do she tried to call our bluff by saying we were only entitled to a refund if we brought our half eaten food back (never heard of such a policy in my life, think she was trying to be smart or awkward . My partner has Covid and at no point did she think to check before asking for us to return our contaminated food. We went to the restaurant with our half eaten food and again we got a very defensive, abrupt attitude from the manager. She insisted that her restaurant has been open for 20 years (not sure of the relevance . Maybe in those 20 years she's lost her tastebuds to decent tasting Chinese food. She did provide us with the refund (minus the cost of delivery reluctantly. If anyone gets Covid after eating at Teng Huang Palace, it's because the manager insists on Covid victims returning their half eaten food for a refund :"
