  “Had a fussy vegetarian who ate a full meal for the first time in a very long time. Food was so good we returned one day later. Staff was so friendly and welcoming very attentive without being pushing. Can't wait to visit next time we are in Belfast.”

  “We visit this restaurant everytime we come to belfast. The staff are so much more friendly and welcoming. They make a great fuss over our little boy and girl and the food is delicious everytime! Wouldn't go anywhere else now. Have been to Zen and Red Panda and they dont have a patch on The Joy Inn.”

  “Visiting Belfast for the weekend and stumbled across this hidden gem near our accommodation. We enjoyed it so much we returned two nights in a row. Benny and all of the staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely attentive. The food was honestly Divine and the service was quick but not rushed. Overall such a pleasant dining experience and looking forward to our next visit when next in Belfast. Connor.”

  “Friendly staff with quick service. Starters of sesame prawn toast & ribs were tasty. The 4 mains were all tasty and good sized portions. Only disappointing item were the chips which were thin, chunky are much better! Reasonably priced”

  “Below is our review we posted and the reply from the restaurant, they completely missed the point, we were not complaining about the temperature of the wine but how cold the restaurant itself was. We were charged 28,95 for the house wine, another example of just how bad this place is. If you are in the wrong at least try to rectify it and not be confrontational. We went here last night as we were staying in Belfast and this restaurant was quite close to our hotel. It was relatively empty when we arrived and our order was taken promptly. We asked for a bottle of house white as we are not wine experts. Once the wine is delivered we both noticed it was freezing cold and decided we would not be able to enjoy a meal there. We asked if there was a warmer part of the restaurant we could move to, but they just tried to bring us a small heater that was keeping the people at the table behind us warm We said we would just pay for the wine and go elsewhere. The waiter wanted us to wait for pur food and take it back to the hotel to eat in our room completely missing the fact if we wanted to eat in the hotel we would have stayed there. 29 pounds for a bottle of house wine is pretty pricey by any standards but if you are operating a restaurant at least make sure its warm. We ended up in Weatherspoons across the road not gourmet dining buy toasty warm and 11 pounds a bottle of wine. Service 1 Atmosphere 1 Special events No special event Response from the owner 8 hours ago First of all I am sorry for how you feel. Company House White £24.95 and serves customer in temperatures around seven to Twelve degrees. White wine cannot be drunk hot . Common sense in the article . You take one from the cafeteria for comparison. There is no way .”
