Best

Food is really good

Worst

I'm afraid I have to rate this on the low end for the Poor Customer Service.

Avoid delivery at all costs!!! 12/1/2007

When I called for delivery it was busy and remained busy for over 10 minutes. When i finally got hold of them, the woman taking my order did not understand me at all. She kept asking me something in a completely other language and didn't understand my address. She also put me on hold every ten seconds because she had another call or started talking to someone else in the restaurant. Two other people had to get on the line to take my correct address and in the end the goodness of the food was still sour from my experience with their bad service. pro: food was good con: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE more

Won't take coupons 10/21/2007

Twice my boyfriend and I have tried to dine at this establishment and both times they said they didn't take coupons--not even the one on their website! Being on the ave i'm sure that a lot of hungry college students get sucked into thinking they are getting a cheap dinner when they aren't. if the coupon ON THEIR WEBSITE says "free delivery" but when you call they say they won't honor it, thats just poor business service. I won't ever try to eat at jewel of india again, not because i'm cheap but because of my beliefs in business ethics. Cons: lie to customers more

If you know good Indian, you ought to know Jewel of India 10/18/2007

I used to go a lot before the construction, and now go again that the construction is over- man, I missed that place! So go in, order up a chai or mango lhassi and ponder the menu: the chicken saag is my favorite. (It's chicken in spinach and although it may sound only good to Popeye, it's subtle and delicious. The owner and his wife are very friendly and helpful, to make for a great experience. more

Very good Indian food 2/22/2007

I loved the food, the best part of the dinner is the red sauce(butter chicken), it was served very tradionally, and the service was very good. I really am an Indian food lover, and this made me want to come back more and more...Jewel of India is a great restaurant, and try the mango lassi its really good! more

Good Indian food without the long wait for a table. 1/10/2007

Prompt seating and prompt service, which is hard to get at the 'other' good Indian restaurants in the U District area. The Sauces had a nice flavor, not as complex as other Indian food i have had, but still good. The rice had a nice buttery flavor, but seemed a tad bit too moist. The salad and dressing was a bit bland, but then it was a salad...been spoiled by Taste of India's spicy Indian salad. All in all a good place to come to if you want to try something new or want to skip out on the long wait to get a table someplace else. Pros: Quck seatting, prompt service, good food Cons: Funny orange booths; bland salad dressing; a fruit fly was buzzing around the table. more

It's good 11/13/2006

The food here is good. The chai is ok. The buffet is definately a good value, tho I wish they had more selections. I would recommend eating in the restaurant and not getting the food delivered...it takes a long time for the food to arrive. Pros: Good food, buffet, nice atmosphere Cons: takes a long time for delivery more

Good and affordable Indian 11/12/2006

I have been to this restaurant numerous times, both for the lunch buffet and for dinner. I have been to almost every Indian restaurant in the Puget Sound and I really like this one for the price and quality of food. They don?t water down the buffet like most restaurants and the spices are usually right on. Pros: Great food, Good Buffet Cons: Often cold or too hot in the dining room more

Fantastic Indian Food! 8/31/2006

After reading the reviews on CitySearch my boyfriend and I decided to drive over to the U District and dine at the Jewel of India. What a wonderful Indian restaurant this is! We ordered a mango chicken dish and garlic naan and it was the best Indian food we've ever had! I would highly recommend this Indian restaurant to anyone. Pros: Great Food, Great Price, Great Service more
