awesome food, really nice people

by nightbeats

this place is my favorite indian spot on the ave. they deliver and have a cheap take out buffet. so so good. one night they were closing shop when i called about a take out order, and they took my order and came by. they're willing to go the extra step to make your dining experience great. the place is pretty simple and the decorations aren't what make this place great, but the food is. theyre also really consistent. always good.

• Pros: delicious buffet, kind service, not overbearing, delivery ++

Good chaats, Food not so authentic

by aarthiasdad

The service here was very nice. People were nice and friendly and were waiting promptly. While I did not like the main course too much, I found their chaats pretty appetizing and tasty. The place does not have a great ambience and parking can be a pain in U-district.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: Ambience, Parking

Amazing Indian Food!

by slandle4

My best friend and I eat here at least a couple of times a month. We have had many items on the menu, but the best is definitely the chicken mango curry. The garlic naan is the best in the U-District and all of the appetizers are delicious. On a cold day, ORDER THE CHAI. It's out of this world. But the greatest part about Jewel of India is the service. The owners are so friendly and often bring you free food...usually rice pudding. Give this place a chance!

• Pros: great food, friendly service
• Cons: none

great indian buffet in the u district

by fishguru

This is my favorite place for Indian buffet when I am in the city. I often try to find a reason to be in the u district whenever I can make it there for the all you can eat buffet. I feel so good when I am full. It warms me up from the inside out on those cold and rainy days, it is like sunshine for the soul! since I live in Everett, it is a long drive to get there, but it is soooo worth every penny. I have never been disappointed and the service is great! This is a great place to bring your friends for lunch if you are buying. The prices are more then fair for what you get! share the love! kurt

• Pros: this is the place to be at lunch
• Cons: parking can be a problem, if you don't like to walk

Tasty and unexpectedly nice experience

by seattleregular

I've eaten A LOT of Indian food.

Jewel of India was a pleasant surprise- and their veggie pakora and butter chicken (my favorite) were fantastic. The guy who owns the place (cooks, too) was personable, friendly and came out to make sure I enjoyed my meal. So all in all, I had a very good experience there.

A truly divine experience: delicious food, great service, and a great buffet in the afternoon.

by Sandmole

If you like Indian, then definitely check this place out. A warm and friendly family owns the place, which is always great, and the atmosphere is nice. Additionally, and most importantly, the food does not disappoint. The wide range of dishes and large portion sizes aside, the quality of ingredients and the taste is on point. The chicken is particularly succulent; I don't know how they manage to get it so perfectly juicy, but it's delicious. For the vegetarians (I've recently become one myself), there's plenty of delicious options as well--vegetable korma is my dish of choice at the moment. Overall, it's great valve for the price (which will run you about 10 dollars or so for a nice dinner, less for lunch/buffet), so I highly recommend it.

I'm a big fan of Indian food, and I have been to plenty of restaurants in the Seattle area, but Jewel remains my number one.

• Pros: Great food and valve, friendly staff, prompt service, large portion sizes, good vegetarian options
• Cons: None

BEST Indian food EVER!

by pongojones

WOW! My fav Indian place used to be Pabla (vegetarian) in Renton--and then I came here. I can't attest to their meat dishes, but their vegetarian dishes make me want to cry they are so good! I have been twice for dinner and once for the lunch buffet and all 3 times were amazing. I don't use that word lightly, this place has the best flavors I have ever tasted! The only downside is all the moron university student drivers trying to run you over while you're driving, parking, and walking. Also, the chai tastes a little weird to me, but I don't care, the food more than makes up for it.

• Pros: Food, food, and food! Pretty decent prices.
• Cons: Location (U district yahoos running around)

Cant even get over this place, man

by seihcnum

I love Jewel of India. Seriously. Great food and awesome family friendly service. The fact that they deliver is really handy too. Really authentic foods and the Garlic Naan has a generous amount of garlic. Service is always really friendly and their kids are really nice too. Chicken Tikka Masala is fantastic. Always have a friendly, private atmosphere with delicious, spicy dishes. Also, unlike many other indian restaurants, the level of spiciness at which you order your food is always consistent. Did I mention they deliver?

• Pros: Delicious authentic food that delivers!
• Cons: parking on the ave

Best Indian Food

by djklee

Went to this place in the U-district and it was great. It had friendly and speedy service. The food was delicious. The Naan bread particularly warm and tasty. Also, they offer free delivery and the food is always warm when it arrives (i love that :D)

• Pros: Service
