This Indian restaurant was my Wife’s favorite.We went there for her birthday and asked for our favorite table and were refused to sit there as it was empty and set for four people . It was a Monday early evening, they only had 3 customers in the entire dining room. We left, as we felt it was a rude and unfriendly way to be treated.

This is hands-down the best local family-owned place in town. I am gluten-free and never once have had an issue in the 12+ years my family has eaten at Jewel of India. If you want heat, just ask for it. If you want to share for two pick a dish, just ask for extra rice, grab the vegetarian platter, and Naan bread..it's plenty.

The service was not great, if you can call what you get there service. You place your order on your phone even for dine in and then no one checks on you. We had to remind them about our naan and our dessert. When we enquired about these things they had an attitude about it. We ordered our food spicy and it was so bland that Gerber jarred baby food has more seasoning. I absolutely would not recommend this place and will not be returning.

One of my favorite places! Have been going here for over a decade, and now always visit when I'm back in town. I always order the vegetable pakora, garlic naan, and chicken saag- but everything our group orders is very good! Prices are very reasonable, and service is fast. Also have an abundant veggie menu, which is great for a group meal, and you can choose the spiciness, which is just a step above. Cannot recommend enough!Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options- much more than I've seen at other restaurants in the area.

The food is always delicious and too quality. The best samosas ever!! My favorite if the lamb korma. I have been going here for 9 years and have never had a bad experience. The staff is lovely, helpful, and inviting.

Jewel of India is a well-established restaurant with a very good menu, full of items traditional to northwestern India. I recommend all of the Tandoori dishes, as well as the Lamb Vindaloo, Rogan Josh, and biriyani.An unfortunate result of the COVID-19 pandemic is that table service and menus have been eliminated. The menu is solely available via QR code on your mobile device, and dine in orders are made online. The net effect is that Jewel of India is essentially now a takeout with tables where you can eat inside. This has significantly reduced interaction between staff and patrons, and it dampens the atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: Masala tea is delicious and good for folks who are diabetic or need to avoid sugars.

Great food. We ordered thru a QR code. Fast and easy, but a check in would be nice.
We've been going to Jewel of India for dine in and take out for many years. They're consistently amazing. Grateful that they're pricing is much more affordable than other Downtown Hanover restaurants. Every meal is outstanding and wonderful to often see the owners there too!

Service was okay, the staff were not too friendly and the atmosphere was okay. I ordered shrimp curry and I think the shrimp was a bit overdone. The samosas were yummy though and I liked the biryani. Overall, it was an okay time but would not dine in again.
