Jewel Of India Restaurant

Perfect date night. First of all, don't go for lunch. Not that the lunch buffet is bad, necessarily, but it's not anywhere near as good as dinner. Save your lunch money and go 5 doors down to Luceros for the best chicken and potato burrito EVER.

Anyway, I digress...

First of all you MUST dine-in. Takeout just isn't the same without the atmosphere. The dining room is decorated with elaborately cut mahogany panels, deep jewel tone colors, gold accents here and there, and interesting murals depicting Indian life. Dinner at Jewel is just beyond comparison...as soon as you sit down you are warmly welcomed with crispy, still-warm papadums and a delicious assortment of chutneys. This, alone, is enough for a light lunch for me! Try every single one of the chutneys, they are all fabulous! Be sure to order a basket of garlic naan while you peruse the lengthy menu. Don;t hesitate to ask questions. The servers are very knowlegable and while a few of them are difficult to understand they are all incredibly warm and friendly. You really cannot go wrong with anything you order, but I especially recommend the chicken biryani, (a seasoned rice dish made with coconut, raisins, and saffron) or the mixed Tandoori. Actually anything from the tandoor is succulent...perfectly spiced and marinated to attain that trademark magenta color! But the mixed grill is the best way to try everything including Mahi, tender lamb, and mouthwatering chicken....easily enough to share! Your dinner will arrive with sides including mixed fruit in a type of ambrosia, a nice refreshing compliment to the heady spices. Fragrant, genuine basmati (as opposed to cheap plain white rice found in some lesser restaurants) just takes the tandoori meats over the top. End your meal with a cup of creamy chai or a mango lassi, and you will surely achieve Nirvana. Plan at least an hour and a half, or you will miss out on the best part of a meal at Jewel...the pure indulgence of lingering over a multi-course supper at an Applebee's price.  View Less … View More

Mmm... Jewel. I love this restaurant. I go at least once a week. The food is delicious, and the service is amazing. I have occasionally gotten a waiter who is less than friendly, but almost everyone who works there is chipper and helpful. I recommend the Chicken Tikka.  View Less … View More

I'm a foodie...and it's the BEST. I've honestly never written a review, but I enjoy their food so much I felt as if I just HAD to let the world know! I've lived all over the country and have eaten Indian food in many different cities, but I never thought I would've found my favorite resturant in a strip mall in Westminster. You just gotta check this place out. The dining room takes you on a mini-vacation, but they won't sneer at you if you place an order to go. This place is a gem. Don't cheat yourself - JUST GO!!!  View Less … View More

BEST place for either buffet or dinner!. This is my favorite Indian Restaurant in Denver. Buffet is constantly renewed with fresh food, and the variety is so vast. Dinner is just amazing, service may slow down during busy hours, but its understandable because of the how busy this place becomes! My Wife and I LOVE this place and come here atleast once a week. For anyone hesitating on trying this place out, try the buffet and you will be hooked!  View Less … View More
