Should you get the chance to meander to Westminster and track down the Jewel of India in its little corner-pocket location of the King Sooper's shopping center, order a lot of food. Not because you'll need it--the portions are perfect--but because you will WANT it! This place is divine, as you will be able to smell from the parking lot. The appetizers are always spot on (their pakora is to die for, but order the sampler so that you can make up your own mind), and the naan is outrageously good (the Variety Bread sampler is good with paratha, naan and kulcha, but the naan is so outstanding you might now want to mess with the other types). Moving onto the main course, the tandoori is always mouthwateringly smoky and delicious (my husband's favorite is the Tandoori Mixed Grill which is loaded with clay-oven baked meats), and the curries are out of this world. My personal favorite, though, is the Chicken Madras, which the restaurant will happily make ""Indian Hot"" if you request it, and which will bring a tear to your eye because of its tastiness and serious heat. All dishes can be toned up or down, by the way, so order your heat how you like it--they are happy to accomodate. Other family favorites: the saag paneer, lamb vindaloo, and aloo gobi. We haven't tried the lassis, but I hear that they're great, too. Oh, and don't forget your 10% off coupon from their website (look under the ""Gifts"" section of their website), you'll need it after your table fills with all the dishes from which you just couldn't choose. Hey, at least you'll have the best lunches in the office for a few days!
Pros: Perfectly spiced with heat to your specifications, great combos, masterful cooking
