My family and I visited Jewel of India, and had a wonderful experience! The food is so great, and authentic, which is comforting when there aren’t many other traditional indian food options around. I also liked that there was a variety of option, vegan, vegetarian and non-veg. I especially loved the chicken lollipops (a childhood favorite) and the Dal Makhani! And, our server Rahul was so great. He helped us with options and was so friendly to speak with. Overall, 10/10 experience...
