First visit to jolsha and was not disappointed, staff very friendly and welcoming....food was reasonably priced considering it was very tasty and very good portions.

New year's eve we popped in on the off chance as it's a couple of minutes walk we have used it regularly. The most we hoped for was a takeaway but the staff said they'd have a table in 20 mins. We had a drink we got a table. Despite how busy it was we didn't have a long wait had a great meal. The jolsha team as always were fantastic, friendly professional.

We arrived 6:30 on Saturday and didn’t receive food until 9pm due to a number of large parties and deliveries. Food was ok, not brilliant (chicken was dry). We won’t return anytime soon, very very disappointing.

Extremely disappointing Tikka Masala curry, pilau rice and inedible garlic nan. Had heard good reports, so the disappointment was tough to take. I ordered and picked up, staff were very friendly which was the only positive. Meal was awful, I would of been better off buying a ready meal curry from Spar. Perhaps it was an off day, but I won't get the chance to find out. The Tikka Masala and garlic nan was that bad, ill never return.

Nice food, for cost portions are a little small. But tasted lovely. My lamb saag had lovely big chunks of meat in, the sauce was just right. Spices balanced really well but very mild spice. Tandoori wings were lovely. The poppadom starter between 6 was 1 poppadom each which is fine. But only 1 tray with the condiments. Only a small portion. Service was really good and pretty quick however my friend ordered a Coke and he was given a Cobra Lager.

Slipping. Waited 90 minutes for food tonight. No excuse... Edit: wouldn't order again after tonight. Chicken biryani was always good and a go to but not anymore.... Change of chef maybe? but not worth the money now. Poor quality and where was the egg on top...? Would not recommend

Banquet special deal is very good value for money, all of our group enjoyed their meals mine was tailored specifically to my requests (slowly acclimatising to more spicy heat ; helpful and personable staff. Only downside was very small booth to seat 4 adults comfortably.

The food was OK, not the best Indian. They got the order incorrect (served several boiled rice instead of nan bread and when ask to correct they did but then charged us extra for it even though 3 rices werent ordered or eaten) and I had to ask for clean cutlery as the ones set out were dirty. If I went again I would ask for more spice in the pathia and it was extremely mild, no heat whatsoever. It wasn't the worse, so give it a try as my experience might have been a one off.

Disappointed as they had good reviews. Place was busy which was nice but food was bland and had no spice or heat to it and basically all tasted the same. We ordered multiple curries to try different flavours and Heat level from medium to hot and all lacked any heat or flavour but chicken wasn't overdone which was a positive. Naan bread was doughy one end and a bit overcooked on the other. Some of the starters were enjoyable. Staff were friendly but probably wouldn't return which is a shame

Been tonight the worst 2 curry's I've ever had or tasted, restaurant? I wouldn't expect the food like that from a takeaway, dunno were to start lamb balti, bland watery badly cooked, the other dish had carrots and peas and sweetcorn in not adversed on menu, also really bland it smelt of stew, I've honestly cooked better curry's of YouTube and my own base sauce, u would nit care it was 5.20 I was the only first person their so no excuses
