jewel of india

love it!. i love this place! they have fantastic butterchickenandchickentikka 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 butterchickenis second to none. amazing food. been going there once every two weeks to dine.

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 thechickentikka 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.

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 butterchickenis 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.

delicious!. i just ate at jewel last night. the butterchickenwas succulent. the panneer was spiced perfectly. and the nan was made to order. i have been to taste of indian in the u. district as well, and thought their food was good, but not great. i am glad to know about jewel as it answers the need for great indian food. and if you have a vegetarian in your party, i think you will find it even better -- a good half of the menu is 100% vegan.
