All around great underground Indian restaurant! People complain about the way the interior looks, but that doesn’t matter when the food is phenomenal. The server was polite, friendly, and showed consideration when taking my order. The food came out quick and fresh. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality Indian restaurant.
I ordered from Jewel of India for the first time through Grubhub. I wasn’t familiar with the restaurant, but it had a 4.5-star rating, so I decided to give it a try. Overall, the food was pretty good! The packaging was okay, nothing special.

Our meal was packed in paper bags, plastic containers, and stuffed in a plastic bag. Based on all of that, I thought we would definitely be disappointed in our meal. However, the food was so good that it offset my initial impression. We ordered two (2) vegetable samosa as we were not sure how many came with each order; there were three per order for us. They were still warm, crispy, came with sauces, and had good flavor. Unlike some samosas I've had, the
