Well, walked in lovely greeting, then never saw the waiter again just watched her on the phone talking on personal call. Food very below average. Presentation shocking. Delivery shocking. Vinegar bottle was full of grease and looked like it been around for 100years. Bottled cobra was the best feature after you walk across an empty restaurant to ask for it. Plus a service charge added as standard to the bill. Come on Joe your the only restaurant in the centre of village you could be a great place but sorry your not.

Wow. The food is amazing and delicous! It's some of the best Indian food I have ever eaten.
The people who work there are really nice too. Friendly and funny.

Upon arrival we ordered drinks, they came minus one drink along with poppadoms - the chutney tray contained massive chunks of onion, pointless to put on a poppadom, the mint yogurt was terrible. The mains came for 8 of us, at first we were given dirty plates, these were swapped. The food then followed which was mostly ok apart from the tandoori mixed grill, we had to question if it was a starter or not. The toilets were nothing short of atrocious - the men's was absolutely filthy and obviously hasn't been cleaned that day. I then asked for the bill so I could nip and get the cash as the surprisingly don't take card payments....... Only to be met with a bill that was very questionable!! When I added up the bill I had been over charged £16! And an optional service charge of £9 had already been added! I have been a regular visitor to Nefyn for the last 6 years and been to Bombay Joe's maybe 6-8 times, I can honestly say today was definitely the last time.

Got take away. Nice food and made in 20 mins. Surprised that our dishes were very spicy when we ordered dishes that are usually mild, but we didn't mind. Only downside was being told to pay cash (which we didn't have) or bank transfer to a personal account...Feels a bit shifty! Had zero reception so I had to walk down the road to get signal and make the payment. Prob a tax dodge, Card machine rates are so low these days, just add it to the price rather than inconveniencing every customer!

We have literally just finished a take out from here. There is absolutely nothing we could fault. The man who took our order when we arrived was extremely polite and amusing.
We had a 30 to 40 minute wait which was more than acceptable given the amount we ordered.
On our return to pick up the meal, again the staff were extremely polite.
The food was of high quality and delicious, and the price more than reasonable, and there was also a couple of complimentary items.
I cannot understand the negative comments on here, some people are so hard to please.
Thank you for a pleasant meal Bombay Joe's.

Lovely staff, lovely food. The staff couldn?t do more for us, they were so lovely. The food was excellent, best korma we have tasted in years. It was so much better than any other indian as you could tell the food had been cooked for us personally, rather than a large batch that had been sat for ages.

Had a takeaway whilst visiting area. We really enjoyed the food we had and would definitely order again. Our food portions were fine, and we can?t fault anything. Cannot rate atmosphere as only collected food but staff were so pleasant and helpful.

There simply aren't enough words in the English language to describe Bombay Joes. It's like being in Delhi, but you're actually in Wales. I went last night and it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G
Let's start with the decor - you might think not changing a single thing in 70 odd years might make the place look dated. Wrong. The confidence of it is admirable. Plus things were much better in the 1930s anyway let's be honest, before health and safety ruined everything.
The menu and particularly the fonts were nothing short of incredible. There is nothing more reassuring about the quality and attention to detail of a restaurant than seeing lazily stretched text and several words being spelt incorrectly. Also, somehow, dozens of dishes are Best Sellers. You know this by the brash red font next to almost every meal saying BEST SELLER. Some would argue that it's actually impossible for so many dishes to be best sellers - not the folks at Bombay Joes. They defy logic and deserve so much credit for their complete disregard for the English language. The food at Bombay Joes is for the everyman - the average Joe, if you will. You know this because if you pronounce dishes correctly, you'll be knocked back and get called posh - fantastic and lovely. There is also an incredibly intense atmosphere of jeopardy when food is brought to your table as no one knows what curry is what and just give anyone anything - adding an air of unpredictably which really spices up the experience (if you'll pardon the pun.) Bombay Joes, now known in my house as The Promise Land, caters for everyone. Some people like different things and that's OK. Bombay joes is tolerant and accommodating. Most people eat their food of plates or bowls, but some just want their pipping hot Madras thrown into their lap without warning or apology, so that they can eat it with their bear hands against the clock before it all seeps through into their clothes. It was great to see the staff accommodate this man and his personal eating habits. Brill. Also, as someone who is actively trying to increase their tolerance to pain, being handed a scolding hot plate was great. I was a bit tired when I arrived to the restaurant, but that definitely woke me up and made me feel alive for the first time in a long time. Service charge is also automatically added to the bill without any sense of irony. Finally, as a fan of horror films, the bathrooms were simply perfect. It's great to see Bombay Joes rally against the Corbyn-influenced nanny state by ignoring all cleaning standards that have plagued the west since the 1980s. The women and the disabled share a space which some might find inconvenient, but I am a male so it didn't affect me and therefore I do not care. Overall, arguably the best restaurant in the UK, if not the world. I'm going back tonight and have just hired it out for my 60th birthday party - it's not till 2030, but I wanted to reserve early to ensure it's available, as if I couldn't spent my birthday there I would probably cry. I'll be telling my friends and kids (when the court order expires) all about the incredible Bombay Joes. Thank you for your service.

Beyond bad. Can?t work out how this place is still in business. Eventually sat at a grubby table, waited ages for drinks, we asked three times for poppadoms and when they arrived one wasn?t cooked properly??? It was so bad it was funny to begin with but the novelty soon wore off.
An hour and a half before mains appeared and the food was abysmal. Asked for more drinks (to drown down the slop) but they never arrived. People waiting ages for take out and the unlucky lot in the restaurant seemed to be subject to our similar chaotic experience. The decor is grim, toilets are disgusting and we couldn?t get out quick enough. Even leaving was a drama as they had to check with a ?manager? in the back that they could remove the service charge we wanted taking off. Also had to pay by bank transfer as there was no card machine.
Bonkers place!

Not great - coke with no ice, dirty plates, small portions, quite grotty inside. No children?s menu or small portion size. Was told to just order a normal portion and ?share? - then added a service charge. No thanks.
