Worst dining experience, this is called an Indian restaurant but it’s not. If you want to spoil your mood and eat good luck going here. We ordered some curry, bread and some other dishes since we had no choice of food in the evening. The paneer gravy was full of color and our hands looked like heena mehndi after eating refrain from going here and save your money.

Went here on Thanksgiving and the food was amazing! I got the vegetable korma and my boyfriend got the butter chicken. We both loved our dishes. So rich and the veggies/spices were cooked perfectly. Very adorable. My boyfriend has lived internationally and knows good Indian food.

The quality of the food is not good at all. In the curry, it was all food color. Mango lassi tastes like water.

They advertise an every day lunch buffet on the door, I walked in 12:45pm and there was not only an empty buffet but an empty restaurant, not even an employee. I left.

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants and though you can spend a decent amount per person you get good portions for the price in my opinion and the taste is great so I always come back. Tonight we ordered on Grubhub (not the first time we had) but when we got the delivery notification the order was no where to be found. Grubhub reordered it for us but they called from the restaurant to make sure they didn’t do anything wrong with the order. The worker who called us (didn’t get a name) was extremely nice and called again to let us know when the driver came to get the new order and that it should be delivered soon. Great staff that seems to actually care about customers. Really can’t beat this place and would totally recommend to others

I absolutely LOVE the food here. It’s perfect every time I order. It’s by far the best place to get Indian food in the area. Having a good day? Order Jewel of India. Have a bad day? Order Jewel of India. It seriously is my favorite place to eat in the capital region. If I could, I would eat their food everyday. Everything Iv ever ordered here was beautifully authentic, overwhelming aromatic, and just a complete taste of heaven.
