jewel of india

love it!. i love this place! they have fantastic butter chicken and chicken tikka masala! the naan is fantastic!! i have told a lot of people about this tiny jewel and they are all hooked!!!

i highly recommend.

i pretty much eat here several times a month!

i went to jewel of india for the first time last year (2009), and immediately loved all their dishes. it is family owned and the people there are super friendly. the food is delicious. their butter chicken is second to none. amazing food. been going there once every two weeks to dine.

visiting seattle and after a long day decided to order some food. was told rush hours and order would take 40 mins. waited for 90 minutes before cold food was delivered to me. best avoided.

it was a good experience. the food was tasty and spicy like true indian food. must visit for heavy dinner. the chaana masala with naan was really good.

don't order south indian food. got tiny idly and dal sambar. north indian food was decent. hot naan was very good and surprisingly affordable. fit for students on a budget

my go-to destination for delicious indian curry!. there are a lot of competing indian restaurants in the u-district. this particular one is a hidden gem in my opinion. it's one of the cheaper options and isn't loud and crowded like cedars -- plus they give you unlimited refills on rice! the decor is nice but not overly pretentious. it's a reasonable spot to take a date, especially if you're a student at uw. the lady who works there is very nice. she doesn't speak much english but she always makes sure you're taken care of. if you're lucky you might get a free order of pappadam or gulab jamun.

some of my favorite dishes include the chicken tikka masala, lamb kofta, and palak paneer. the garlic naan and samosas are great as well. the lunch buffet is solid. some indian restaurants serve what seem like watered down versions of their dinner entree curries, but not at jewel of india.

excellent restaurant, wonderful buffet. the jewel of india is one of my favorite restaurants in the u-district. i've been coming here for nearly a decade for the delicious food and the friendly atmosphere. they offer the best indian buffet in the area, and have won over friends of mine who typically shy from buffets. they've even added chai tea to the buffet, making a good thing even better. their matar paneer, saag, channa masala, and daal maharani are all excellent, but i've honestly never had a bad dish here -- just some i prefer more than others. the pakoras here are second to none and they even offer a pakora curry. the jewel of india is great for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and even vegans.

it's okay. average food. v.... it's okay. average food.
vancouver british colombia is above the crowds when it it comes to indian food and buffets.... without a doubt.

best vegetarian restaurant. i am a vegetarian and had some amazing dishes here. they have a huge selection and i am trying to eat my way through the menu- so far i have liked everything! so happy to have the best indian restaurant in seattle in my back yard her in the u district.

hidden jewel in the u. when i first happened upon this place, their lunch buffet was up, and it was good, although typical for common indian buffet fare (the pakoras are amazing, though). however, upon visiting in the evening, i was blown away by their kashmiri chicken. out of this world, especially with garlic nan. after that, i was hooked, and after trying each curry their menu provides, i still come back for more. if you dig the spice, and ask for a '5", they may be wary, so go ahead and go for a "6" or "7" and surprise 'em.

service is superb; our water is always filled, food comes to us very quickly (and always hot), and the owners have no problem explaining certain dishes to us.

here's a tip, though, try their chai... they get it spot on each and every time, i could just take a shower in all of it...

and for desert, this place makes the best kheer around, an awesome balance of spices and texture. also, the little fried balls are good, forget what they're called, though...

regulars for a reason!. my boyfriend and i go to jewel of india on a regular basis, and to be honest, i didn't like indian food until i had jewel of india. the butter chicken is my favourite dish, and all of their nan is so wonderful (you can try the nan sampler, and get a variety of flavours. awesome!)!
also, this is one of the few restaurants that i have encountered that actually serves their food hot. not warm enough to eat, but actually hot! everything feels and smells so fresh; it's fantastic. i love this restaurant so much.
i don't think we will ever stop going.
:)

great lunch buffet!!!. i've come here more times that i'd like to admit but everytime i go i plan to come back. the food is really excellent and other than a bit of a scary front window area the food is really delicious. in fact it's so good i come all the way over from redmond just to eat here.

um, yum!. um, yum.

i'd been here once over the summer for the lunch buffet, which was pretty a-ok. i'm not a big buffet person, and indian buffets are always, you know, tasty, but not that super amazing compared to what the food could be. i remember the naan being really good though, and i enjoyed the desserts. i walked away saying, "we should really try this place for dinner sometime."

so we ordered some stuff for delivery, and it was very tasty. very soft chewy garlic naan. the paneer tikka kabob (which wasn't actually skewered...???) was tasty, and came with some obviously homemade (and very flavorful) chutneys. the malai kofta was delicious. they even gave us a free dessert (kheer! my favorite!). (it was a little soupier than i'm used to, but still very yummy.) since that first time, i have repeated this experience multiple times. almost weekly. it's fantastic.

though it's not the best indian food i've ever had, it's really great for seattle (i've just had some truly life-changing indian food in other parts of the country/world). i feel like i'm cheating on cedars (the one on brooklyn; it's my standby favorite local restaurant), but jewel of india is my restaurant of choice for ordering in.

pakora curry!. excellent buffet - you'll be stuffed by the end because there's so much selection! we ordered delivery for the first time and it was fantastic. i'm a big fan of bengal tiger and this was at the same level, but more savory (bengal tiger has much more cream i think, it's definitely sweeter). for the adventurous try the pickles! it's insanely intense. finally i can order very spicy and it actually is - seattle restaurants think most people can't handle it, but if that's so, why would i ask for it?

babu. i like the jewel indian buffet this is my best food ,. owner is very friendly behave with us . we had dinner their with great service .
