Jewels Of India - Carlisle

The food was excellent. There was only one server but she was prompt comingbto the table, serving us and checked on us frequently. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable!Food: 5/5

I'm sorry to say I no longer really like jewels of India. The last time I ate here I believe I had food poisoning. Although I've had some good times at this place and some very good meals the quality just continues to go downhill I suppose I will have to find a new Indian restaurant.:

Your first impression is that it’s a jewelry store but once you come through the door and the warm, delicious smells of authentic Indian cooking hit you, you definitely want some of the yummy goodness in that kitchen! Hostess was very courteous, the food was delicious and made according to MY spice tolerance. Would definitely visit again!

This place has been consistently excellent! They make some really great naan, but the Tikka Masala is to die for. Careful on your spicy levels! I don't think it tastes as good above medium spicy as it sacrifices flavor for heat.

Firstly, I’d rather give 4.5 stars, but google doesn’t allow that, and also this place deserves to have every seat filled.Came in at 3:30 on a tuesday afternoon. Was seated instantly. The front of the building is somewhat unsightly, but the dining area is very heavily and well decorated. No music and we were the only ones there save for staff, so the quiet was a little odd.We got service immediately and our server was very friendly. Ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer $12.95 . Portion was somewhat smaller than I expected, but it was very good. Creamy and the shrimp was not overcooked. I ordered the Lamb Dahiwala $20.95 which came with basmati rice. Very good portion size and incredibly delicious. We were offered 4 “spice levels”, mild, medium, spicy, and extra spicy. I went with medium and wished I went with spicy, but the meat was tender and the gravy was fantastic, plenty of herbs and spices gave it an authentic flavor. We also ordered the Butter Chicken $16.95 [I think, price isn’t on the online menu] spicy. Also came with basmati rice. The chicken was very tender and the gravy was creamy and the perfect level of spice. This is definitely for anyone that might be nervous about trying a new culture’s food. We also ordered a side of roti $2.50 to sop up our gravies. Fresh, crispy, buttery, perfect.Overall, this restaurant was fantastic and definitely needs more attention. For anyone that is scared about trying a new culture’s food, I say this is probably the place to dip your feet in and try.The reason I knock it down a half star is there were a handful of flies that were bothersome. The place was very cleanly, so maybe this was an anomaly? Altogether, great place, would go back.
