Good food, Bad Service 2011-10-10
Visited them on Saturday... While the reservation process was smooth-one of the few restaurants that accept reservations on a saturday :-),the overall experience could have been much better...
The waiters were in their own world, we had to nearly shout to get their attention.. the food took quite awhile to reach our table....
The quality of food was good-cannot deny that.
And to round it off the valet drivers were not even there to hand over the car... Took close to 10mins to get the car... Expected much more from this restaurant.... -

FALLEN DOWN TO A DISGRACE 2011-06-15
It used to be one of my favorite restaurants and I've been a regular visitor to Jewel of India.
But the last two times, I went I felt as if the Bills were rigged, specially the drinks. It was also felt by my friends. So, this time we decided to check for ourselves.
We went their on dinner and kept a diary for all we had ordered including water. Not that we are stingy, but if someone cheats you and takes customers for granted, I can't stand it.
And we were right. At the end, they had charged us for an extra vegetable, 3 indian breads and 6 alcoholic drinks. When we showed... read more -

How the mighty have fallen! 2011-04-14
Jewel of India used to be my favorite hangout for entertaining business colleagues many years ago!
Recently went over on a weekday evening to the bar, and boy what a disappointment! Firstly, they had a a huge screen with IPL playing(the lovely window opening to the garden, were lined with people watching the match from outside, throwing the entire privacy out of the window!. Then music of My name is Khan started playing in the background along with telecast of IPL... And if that was not enough, we had baby roaches for for company!
On the drinks and food -
The Margarita I ordered had... read more -

extremely disappointing 2011-02-17
went there for drinks and starters, but wasnt a good experience..we were 4 ppl,.to begin with the waiter served only 3 guests and ignored the 4person..and only served him after we got his attention.. we had ordered 1 veg and 1 non veg kebab platter..the non veg 1 had majority of chicken kababs as in proportion to the fish and mutton kebabs...the finger bowl given to us was ice cold,literally had ice cubes floating in water...lastly we asked for their famous paan which they said they didnt have inspite serving the next table minutes after we asked....totaly a bad experience and wouldnt go there... read more -

All Hype for Nothing 2011-02-14
I was in worli one evening and ran into a Burrp magazine which has awards for best food 2010. This place had one for best indian food or somthing. Trusting it, i landed up there along with my girlfriend. Turns out Burrp also can be very unreliable at times. The ambience was pretty okay considering the expectations this place sets. However, the food was not worth the price. The soup was pedestrain. While the chicken dish was pretty decent, none of the food justified the cost. A naan costing 70/- CANNOT be overly chewy.. -

Terrible Customer Service 2011-01-27
I had my wedding reception at Jade Garden catered by Jewel of India. We had two desserts, one being Moong Daal Halwa. The halwa was uncooked and unedible.
We asked the chef to taste it and he agreed that the dish was uncooked. The management requires you to pay in full for the reception before you leave the evening of. We did as per contract.
Since then we have complained to the management several times about the incident. Management's best response was to offer us a free lunch and that they have a no refund policy. We have tried to speak with the CEO but he has not bothered... read more -

Abs Mediocre - Won't Recommend 2010-11-23
If ever I wanna try out a new restaurant, I always trust burrp & my fellow reviewers. Thier positive ratings/reviews have rarely disappointed me. However this was one of the rare times when reviews about the Jewel of India (Sunday brunch esp) was misleading.
So i made reservations for a day prior for a table of 5 for the Sunday brunch. I reached at JOI and within a few mins i was taken to a very nice large round table. I was amazed at the size of the restaurant but that also brought in the added chaos and the decibel level being very high. Def not a place you wanna take your date out... read more -

Great service 2010-09-28
I went to JoI with my folks for a celebratory dinner one rainy evening. And it was well worth the cab-hunt & rain-avoiding sprints! Primarily for non-veggies, there was limited choice for us vegetarians. We went for the soup and a starter, which weren't very impressive. The accompanying cocktail naans were delectable, though! I would definitely avoid the tomato shorba/soup the next time. However, the main course was delicious and subtly flavorful. Even the breads were soft and simply melted in my mouth.
What really impressed me was the attentive and friendly service throughout the evening.... read more -

VFM Sunday Lunch Buffet! 2010-03-21
Everyone's heard about Jewel of India.
Period.
Their Sunday lunch buffet is awesome.
1. Rs 499 per head.
2. Drinks, chaat on the house (kind of namesake, they only serve pani puri and papdi chaat)
Their chicken kebab was really good.
Great place to take guests out.
They didn't have many desserts, but every dessert had a unique taste.
Their chocolate cake was really rich and it melted in the mouth.
They had a better selection for non-vegetarians though. -
