We just had the chicken tikka Kerahi and the chicken tikka pasanda. Both were brilliant, chicken was perfect and the garlic naan was 10/10. Beat Indian dinner I’ve had in years.

Service was fine. No problems at all but the food was dreadful. We chose to have the buffet. Bad mistake. The chicken pakora was over cooked, dried out and basically inedible. There was no poppadoms and spiced onions on offer. The chicken in the chicken tikka hadn't been chargrilled. There wasnt any lamb or even vegetarian dishes on offer. Only 6 chicken main dishes. All of which just looked like a big bag of cooked chicken had been tipped into a bain marie of mediocre shop bought sauce. I don't think I've tasted a worst chicken korma in my life. It was watery and tasteless. It certainly wasn't creamy or coconutty. The naan bread was nice though, so as we were hungry we mostly ate that and picked out some bland chicken from the sauces.So disappointing as this used to be an amazing place for food.I was going to give verbal feedback on our visit but we were given a review card with the bill so I filled that in. We were happy to pay the bill and leave a tip as it was incredibly cheap, we did eat some chicken and loads of naan and the service was alright. But we won't be back and I'll certainly not be recommending The Jewell to any friends or family.

My partner and I are here tonight (03/01/24) food was excellent, however the service absolutely amazing. I only wish I had gotten the girls name that looked after us to name her personally as she was fantastic. Such a happy, welcoming girl who had so much knowledge and many recommendations of dishes for us to try. She really is an asset to the restaurant.

Ordered a family delivery, took well over the hour stated. My meal arrived, and both the curry and rice were inedible, due to the fact they were so cold, not just cold but freezing cold. The meal I immediately reheated and it was passible but the rice was awful. Also I ordered a chicken meal....where was the chicken, I couldn't find any in the tub of sauce...... We did laugh. Please hire more delivery drivers, or use better heat bags, as it could be a nice meal but your delayed timings and lack of keeping the food warm in transport is not nice for the prices you charge.

We have used the jewel for a few years now and food is always spot on the staff are so friendly. The chicken tikka chasni is to die for absolutely beautiful and the tandoori chicken too, the pakoras are always fresh and delicious ?

Delicious takeaway for a chllled Saturday night. Bought meal for one, loaded fries and fried rice. All the food was delicious including the chicken pakora and would highly recommend trying the loaded fries....they were very tasty with Indian spices. Great price....well worth it. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Absolutely shocking! Got a collection and it's now sitting cold as we are waiting on our naan bread being delivered after over an hour from we collected the original

My first time visiting the jewel in the Crown and can honestly say it won't be my
Absolutely lovely food and service. The food is good quality and a big step up from any other Indians in the area. Great veg and lovely chicken pakora as well as fresh naans and chapattis. And the lamb madras’s was superb. Melt in the mouth and great sauce. Highly recommended.

Took our children for a meal for a special occasion. Had the buffet. We were told that if anything runs out dont be shy & just let the server know. There was no popadoms or chicken korma. Naan, pakora, onion bhaji, chicken chaat, rice were all dried out. Tried to ask server on many occasions, unfortunately they she was busy all the time talking to a group of men. The group of men were also extremely loud & one made my daughter uncomfortable when she went to the buffet. Again there wasnt anyone to speak to as we couldnt hear ourselves & couldnt get hold of the only server we saw.

Placed an order for collection, it was ready on arrival. Ordered chicken tikka korma, rice, nan bread, chicken pakora and chips.The korma was watery and tasted off, the pakora was dry, and chewy. The nan bread was dry, flavourless, and worse than some store bought ones I've had. Overall its got to be one of the worst Indians I've had in kilmarnock, very disappointed and not like ones I've had in the past from here.

Went on a Thursday night, the whole time it was such a lovely calm enviroment with music to match.Our frount if house worker was so amazing she alone would make us want to return back.Now the food, WAS BEYOND AMAZING. The meat was so tender and flavorful with the sause of the currys we orderd was just hitting the right spot. The starter we had a share plater for 2 and it was perfect for 2 set up yhe main perfectly.I honestly wish i was better with my words because this place is honestly the top tear of Indian food.
