A mediocre meat eatery with sub-par service and empty ambience. 

The restaurant Joy is anything but, to me. Formerly located in the German Colony, this pop-up like restaurant with cheap tenting on Mamilla Road leaves much joy wanting from the menu.

The best part of ordering from Joy is charging it to your credit card. When the statement comes, it will read GOY - in some warped translation from Hebrew.

The location is good, but lacking ANY coveted views on Mamilla or near the old city. With the exception of people watching, there are no sites to see.

Second, the service I received was of the worst in Israel. Entrees took over an hour with no apology and were not worth the wait. The food was meat and mediocre, if I am feeling generous. Most definitely not up to snuff with other nearby options. I would choose any dairy restaurant nearby over this location were I put to the choice.

I look forward to going to Joy and giving it another chance. We all deserve more than once chance. Though, I am not feeling too optimistic…or joyful about the prospect.
