Joshua Tree - Reigate and Banstead

The service was friendly and the restaurant had a relaxed ambience. The menu was interesting and the food was delicious, we all had a masala dosa which was great.

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!

Food tasted lovely. Hot and freshly made. Great staff. Would recommend to anyone thinking of trying out this place. Only negatives were choice of drinks and time waiting for food could of been better. However it was full up so may just of been unlucky with the wait for food. Would not stop me from going again or recommending to others.

Went with family to celebrate a birthday. First time we had been and what can I say.... The service was excellent by Isabelle and food was EXCEPTIONAL... fantastic chef dare I say probably one of, if not, the best meals we have had, having eaten in various restaurants around the world. 2 of us had the liver and bacon, the liver was tender, the bacon thick. Another had the beef bourguignon and the beef as tender as possible, and finally the stuffed chicken came as 2 large chicken breasts stuffed with croutons, spinach, garlic, smoked bacon and cashew nuts, with a delicious tarragon beurre blanc sauce, oh and not forgetting the dauphinoise potatoes. Definitely will call again. 10/10

Just visited the Joshua Tree for a friend's birthday. What an amazing place ! Great food, great staff and most of all great atmosphere !!! We'd highly recommend this place and our waiter Alex was brilliant
