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.
