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 tinyjeweland they are all hooked!!!

i highly recommend.

i pretty much eat here several times a month!

i went tojewelof 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.

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 atjewelof india.

excellent restaurant, wonderful buffet. thejewelof 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. thejewelof india is great for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and even vegans.

hiddenjewelin 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 tojewelof india on a regular basis, and to be honest, i didn't like indian food until i hadjewelof 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.
:)

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), butjewelof india is my restaurant of choice for ordering in.

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

delicious!. i just ate atjewellast night. the butter chicken was 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 aboutjewelas 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.
