Jewel of India - Seattle

Jewel of India has been serving authentic Indian cuisine in Seattle's University District since 2002, making it a beloved landmark on the iconic University Way NE, locally known as The Ave. This family-owned restaurant has become a staple for University of Washington students, faculty, and Seattle residents seeking genuine North Indian flavors in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's commitment to quality is evident in every dish, from their tandoor-baked naan fresh from the clay oven to their rich, aromatic curries simmered for hours with carefully balanced spices. The weekend all-you-can-eat buffet, available Friday through Sunday from 11 AM to 3 PM for just $18.99, draws crowds with unlimited curries, fresh naan, and included chai tea. Weekday diners can enjoy the satisfying lunch thali at $16.99, featuring two curries, dessert, naan, rice, and a samosa. The menu accommodates various dietary needs with extensive vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and Jain-friendly options, and all chicken and lamb are prepared with halal-certified meat. Located just steps from the U District light rail station with easy access via the 70 bus, Jewel of India offers dine-in, takeout, and delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. The restaurant also provides catering services for events up to 60 guests and holds the distinction of being Seattle's most-reviewed Indian caterer on EzCater.
