Best Indian restaurant I have been in Europe. I really like the thin bread/appetizer with the sauces. Spicy and tasty.I recommend the chefs special, chicken chettihad for main dish, and the carrot cake Indian style for dessert. Chicken tikka is also really nice. Staff is friendly. Worth every krone, will be back.

The food was delicious but the service was very poor as we were asked to leave becouse the table was reserved. We didnt even finish up our food they came and asked us to leave several times.

Fantastic. Great food and attentive service.

This is the most wonderful restaurant and take-away - everything is delicious and service is always brilliant. Every new dish I try becomes another favourite, and all the classics are executed perfectly. During these extremely difficult Covid times, they have made a huge effort to stay open for take-away and keep serving up fantastic food. They have really been a lifeline. Hugely recommended.

Really good Indian food. Authentic experience. Every bit of the food was cooked to perfection - the nan was crispy and soft at the same time. The tandoori chicken was tender, appropriately spicy and with a tasty gravy on the side. Golden rice - everything just the way you want it to be. Waiters were easy to reach, but not too pushy. Service was very good. I requested my dish without nuts, and this was no problem. If you crave indian food, you wont regret coming here!

You have to check this out and experience the atmosphere of ancient Indian decoration and real test of spicy food.

Very authentic experience with amazing food and mango lassi. One of our favorites in Oslo!

The best part of the restraunt is service. While having dinner owner and/or manager would come and check on us, if everything was okay. This gave authentic feeling of Indian guest experience and not of just hotel only. Decoration is artistic and colourfull. Food is good and uses masalas in proper manner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for stay in Oslo.

Came here with just 30 minute short notice with my partner for a relaxing meal after a hard day of work. We were offered some choices for seating and the hosts were very thoughtful with assistance and kindly brought me some pillows for some back support when I expressed desire to sit with a firmer backrest. As someone who struggles with back pain, it means so much when someone gives the extra help - I didnt expect it. Such a silly thing but it made me feel taken care of and it made my evening. Thank you for that specifically!The food variety was amazing and it wasnt difficult to choose, the portions were just right and the naan bread was delightful! Truly the best naan Ive had in Oslo thus far. The food was well rounded in flavor and heat, given we took spice level 3. My partner really enjoyed the mango lassi. Weve had plenty in our days and this one was, in his words, extraordinarily good.We didnt have to wait a minute for service and the help was super smooth. Thank you for making us feel welcome. The hospitality was honest and just right. Well be returning and this is definitely a place to come for flavors.

It was a great experience. Food is delicious and we felt it worth for monry.

Such a cosy family place with great food and great service. You are well taken care of by the friendly and professional staff. The decor is fascinating with lots of artefacts from India. You get quite big portions of food. The plates are always warm. Meat is tender and sauces are so tasty. We just love this place both my wife and my kids. Keep it up!

Really excellent Indian restaurant. We are a British couple who can be a bit snobby when it comes to curry, and this is one of the best we’ve ever had. We had our NYE dinner here and loved it so much that we came back a couple of days later. Great service, great for veggies, amazing Naan, amazing rice. Highly recommend!

Lovely interior, helpful staff and tasty Indian cuisine.

Traditional Indian restaurant with authentic food

Fantastic place to dine. All dishes exotic and full of flavour

Cozy interior, good service and delicious Indian food.

Top notch food, pleasant atmosphere, serviceminded staff!

Just love this Indian restaurant! The food, the atmosphere and the staff, - its all working so well together and securing a genuine Indian meal experience of the highest quality.Cant wait to come back!

Good ambience inspite of it being in the basement, friendly staff with authentic Indian food. A range of dishes to choose from and the dishes are delicious and reasonably priced. You can choose the degree of spiceness /hotness of the dishes. The restaurant can be crowded and therefore wise to call in advance and reserve a table. Dont expect to sit and enjoy for long time as the staff will rush through and serve as many customers / patrons as possible.

From start to finish workers great, serve, chat and seem altogether professional. The recommendations are great if youre having trouble choosing, although whatever you choose I can bet it will be equally delicious as anything else. Everyones friendly and polite, me and my family had a wonderful experience today. Thank you!

The best Indian in Oslo

Lately me and my girlfriends been crazy for indian food. So we decided to celebrate her birthday here back in august.Weve tried alot of indian restaurants all over Oslo, but this was the first time we got our eyes on Jewel of India.Arrived at 7PM, went down the stairs and entered this dark but very cozy restaurant. Got greeted by this beautiful lady in her saree and got escorted to our table.Ordered drinks and food straight away. So far everything was perfect. Loved the interior, the atmopshere and the service! Oh, did I forget to mention the food?!Since it being my girlfriends birthday, a group of servers came to surprise with dessert, candles and a birthday song! As I was sitting there trying to keep my laugther, I peaked at my girlfriend who didnt really get what was going on. Me personally, loved the show, while my girlfriend was still in shock because of all the action with 4 guys singing to her, plus me. Hehe.A must visit if you want to have a proper indian restaurant experience. Very professional staff and delicious food. Make sure you book a table though, this place is busy!Will come back again for sure.

Possibly the best Indian restaurant in town. Fast and good service, with tasty Indian food.

Delicios food! Friendly waiters too.

With a friend of mine, Im on a years-long mission to try all Indian restaurants in Oslo, but whenever we go out to try a new one, its so easy to just end up at some of our favorites which we know deliver the goods. This place in Oscars gate has always been rated highly in other reviews, but we have somehow never gotten around to try it. Now, though, its going to be among that small handful of places we will probably revisit often rather than risk disappointment in a new restaurant. Really, really nice, well-balanced tastes, perfect seasoning, great service. Top notch!

Lam Palak ftw

One of my favourite Indian restaurant in Oslo. The food is always wonderful, portions are big and the staff is friendly. The mango lasse is a must have!

Good taste of traditional Indian cuisine

Crowded and offering mostly run of the mill Indian food.The restaurant responded with surprise to my above comments. So, I need to clarify.Crowded ... I meant that the entire restaurant is packed with seats. I was seated closer to the wall and getting there involved a maneuver that was not too different from a passenger allocated the window seat on the economy class of a plane reaching his seat. By the way, the diner seated on the aisle was a complete stranger in the middle of his meal and brushing against him to reach the interiors was unpleasant (for him as well as me) to say the least.Run of the mill ... I did not mean the restaurant was offering stale food. I meant that the items on the menu are standard fares. Nothing innovative. Nothing exceptional in taste, texture, flavor, presentation.Going by the number of people who were present, it seems this restaurant can do well replacing some of the five chefs with some really good ones or someone else open a really good Indian restaurant in Oslo. I will surely come and watch then.

One of the best Indian restaurant in Oslo. Very central location and easy to go by public transport. Always consistent taste and service and very nice and traditional ambience inside. For parties better call in advance to book your table. Tandoori chicken is always great and favorite of mine. You can also enjoy strong Indian beer here.

Amazing place OSLOEnjoyed more than aspected in June 2019

One of the best Indian meals Ive had in Oslo. Somewhat crowded so my wife and I was seated on the end of a 6 person table with a a separator wall, this worked out surprisingly well. Acoustics was also good considering how crowded it was at the time. Food was just excellent! Friendly staff however some was clearly under a lot of stress. Recommended!

Tasty food, very nice looking interior! Quick, friendly and professional service . They allow you to choose how spicy you like your food. Intriguing serving methods and a satisfactory range of different meals and tastes. Try the tea!

Super cozy restaurant! It can be a bit noisy if people are there to celebrate a birthday or something. Staff are very friendly and the food is delicious.

We were on our way back from Vigelands park and decided to hop off the tram as the area looked nice. We were going to have a drink and head back into town but decided to go to this restaurant. We are so glad we did! The food was some of the best Indian I have ever had and certainly one of the best meals we had in Norway. The service was very friendly and the selection of food and drinks was fantastic. Get out of town on the tram and have dinner here when you are in Oslo!

Nice atmosphere and staff. Massive menu and tasty main dishes. Stay clear of the overpriced starters.

A really good restaurant and very kind waiters. You can take away or enjoy the decorum! The tandoori chicken is really really good. If you go for the tandoori mix, I found everything good but the chicken is really one nod above the rest

If you are not used to Norwegian prices, you will be surprised to see a relatively expensive Indian food restaurant. That said, the quality of the food is outstanding, with no detail spared. The spices in the cooking taste very authentic (though admittedly I am not a practicing cook). The selection is mainly northern Indian, though it is very broad. The house specialties are worth trying if you cant make up your mind, but you really cant go wrong with most of the dishes.

Great food and friendly staff. I had a vegetarian dish called Malai Kofta, and it was absolutely delicious :)

Very good food, very friendly staff, price is competitive and food quantity is plenty. Would recommend!

Gorgeous, authentic-looking food. Good portion sizes, deliciously spiced, fair price. Would definitely recommend!!

Absolutely delicious food! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal. The service was great, especially good with kids.

Very busy. Did is great. Very Indian style and delish. Serving portions are perfect. And the garlic bread nan.... Just taste it

The food is amazing and comes in insanely generous quantities. Trust the staff to chose for you if you are not inspired. One of the best indian restaurant Ive been to.

First of all, it is a bit pricey. Ignoring that though, the food is to die for and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Great place for a dinner date!

We were 7 last night for dinner......absolutely delicious. The service was excellent. Wonderful experience.

The jewel of India is a restaurant with a beautiful setting of a royal looking place..Some days back went with my friends to have dinner to this restaurant. Dine dine is best. Soothening music, good food. Ambience is too good.also Sultana service boy very good polite. We ordered chicken tikka masala, methi murgh baked, paneer pasanda...

Simply wow . The food is so tasty that I started writing a review before leaving the place . Satisfying taste , great kulfi and a humble couple who run the place . Kudos to all of you

Really good Indian food, my top pick of Indian food

Worderful atmosphere and service. And the food is just delicious. I will go back to this place 100 more times!

Jewel of India serves very authentic Indian cuisine, they have a extensive menu, food, service and ambience was fabulous. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in authentic Indian food.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Hands down the best indian food restaurant in Oslo.

Very friendly staff, good food.

Authentic Indian Cuisine in a delightful Indian ambiance

It’s more of a Blemish than a Jewel.We went here on our last day in OSLO, the food taste was mediocre and the worst INDIAN food in our 2 weeks trip of Denmark and Norway.The Masala Lamb didn’t tasted fresh at all, however the Dal Makhni was ok. Both the dishes had tinge of sweetness which was slightly odd. The quantity of food though was decent.The worst was the attitude of the head waiter and the manager standing on our head and asking if we are done eating 2-3 times. They charged us NOK 30 for a Single piece of Onion which had no mention on the menu neither was communicated by the male waiter who took our order.For the price and more for the attitude this Blemish restaurant is avoidable and there are much better INDIAN Restaurant in Near vicinity.

Good service, people from many places working there. Decent food, but quite Norwegianized 🤓

The food is not good anymore as it use to be

Nice and Delicious Good.Some tast beyond the imagination.I can give them seven STAR because This restaurant has real chef WHO can cook food inn tandoor.The very best.

Nice restaurant with excellent Indian food. Only drawback is their urgency to make you leave after the meal is finished.

Great food, just a bit too expensive

Food ok, a little expensive. Did not have the wine I order and got another one at a much higher price and half as good.

Wery goood food and nice service

Biryani was awesome and very authentic, and the golag jamun was delicious. A bit pricey all in all, but more than decent enough sizes on the portions.

Nice food.. I tried the chicken biryani and garlic Tikka.. There were delicious.

Good food and the nicest staff

Best Indian restaurant in Oslo, amazing food and great service!!

Extreme goos food and service

Great service, great food, sane prices and generally a place youll stay for an extra coffee or dessert. Or both...

Best place for some very decent Indian food. No hassle, delicious and save choice place.

Nice place in Oslo, for Indian foodJust need to adjust to the level of chillis, on a scale of 1-6, rest is all fine

One of the best Indian places you will find in Oslo. It costs, but you will get a lot of value for your money in this amazing Indian restaurant.

Cosy atmosphere, nice service, great dishes.

Good food and nice atmosphere

Very nice place, enjoyed the food and hospitality

Lovely food !

Tasty Indian food with good service. The place could need an upgrade and clean the carpets ..

Good food and perfect service.

5 stars to food -diverse menu and incredibly tasty. 4 stars to service - very nice, but slightly sloppy. 0 stars to the headwaitress, who ran to the table as soon as i have paid, saying my friend and me had to leave, also in quite imposte way, because other people were waiting for the table. I was just going to finish my water and leave soon anyway, so it felt like a slap on the face.

Good food and good service

Good Indian food but a bit expensive for some. Would recommend if you like Indian food and nan xD

Good food, friendly staff.

A top-notch onion bhaji with sweet tamarind sauce.Highly recommended Chefs Special Mushroom Paneer served with fluffy basmati and an amazing naan (it was both soft AND crispy).Washed down with a perfectly salted lassi and Indian Chai tea.Good service: they were available when we wanted them and were in no hurry to rush us out the door.Dropped one star for fairly high prices and crowded seating.
