Staying overnight in University District and wanted a nice-ish dinner, but it was late on Veterans Day and a lot of places were... closed, so I kind of stumbled in here since I’m always a fan of Indian food. The menu really has everything, but I wanted toget something relatively light and the waiter gave me some really helpful suggestions. I ended up going with the Samosa Chat anda Salty Lassi. Everything was perfect and super flavourful. The samosa chat was an explosion of textures and sweet and savourycurry. The lassi was also loaded with spices and was very rich. Definitely the best lassi I’ve tried! Prices are totallyfair. The eating area was clean, but the bathroom was, for lack of a better word, dank. The kitchen is located in the same darkback hallway which makes me wonder if it’s kept in the same condition as the dining room of the bathroom. Nothing appeared offabout my food though so I can hope it’s the former. It was closing time when I was done eating, and the chef was out helpingto clean up after another party and I had the chance to talk with him a little. Like the waiter, he’s a really nice guy andcares about the food. The presentation of the food is very nice but the atmosphere is really casual and unpretentious, and itcame out quickly, which made this the perfect place for me, and I would definitely recommend it for a quality meal.

Their Buffet is unbeatable ! Food taste & quality is delightful. I'd recommend ordering North Indian dishes from here. I... personally highly admire their Samosas, Tea , Butter Chicken and Pakoras with Tamarind chutney. I've been going to theirweekend buffets almost regularly. Portion size is also well worth the price. My earnest compliments to the chef(s) and thefamily owners themselves who run this place. Read more

Punjabi Indian restaurant, located in University district in Seattle. Restaurant is open full day, you will get alacarte menu... from 3pm onwards. Great options for vegetarians and non vegetarians. Veg platter is delicious, Tandoori Roti, Paneer Paratha isauthentic and delicious, Baingan bartha (Eggplant curry with Basmati rice) is delicious and goes well with Roti and Pratha. Theonly problem is Vege Biriyani. It was the worst biriyani ever. It’s not biriyani but curry mixed with vegoans rice. 0/5 forvegetable biriyani. Other vegetarian dishes- 5/5 Service- 5/5 quick and friendly. #Seattle #Washington #IndianFood Read more

A very cozy and colorful restaurant with a very rich menu. Food was extremely flavourful and well prepared. The owner of the... restaurant took extra time to prepare special "Paratha" for us. This place reminded us home. We were very glad to found thisgem. We will definitely be back. Read more

Before the pandemic, Indian buffets were about a dime a dozen but nowadays it is nearly impossible to find one. Well, Jewel Of... India advertises in their name the lunch buffet and it isn't too bad! They have the typical butter chicken and Naan offeringsalong with Gulabjamon for dessert. Good stuff all around, but not the best that was available pre-pandemic. Early 2022, theprice is $15 per person and they are super friendly here! Read more
