Jewel of India - San Andreas

Food is pathetic, dahi wada is not even near the taste of it. Dal tadka was fine. Gaelic chicken gravy was ok but the chicken was very smelly . Only two people were at the counter not really good at managing. Overall experience is poorFood: 2/5

This is one of the best places to eat in San Jose. I'm not saying that they are a 5 star restaurant that will awe you with their incredible atmosphere. On the contrary, they are a small unassuming spot in a strip mall where every dish and each person welcomes you in with comfort and genuine flavor. On top of that, they have an entire counter full of beautiful and delicious sweets.I am not an expert in cuisine from India, so I can't tell you which region their menu best represents but over the few years I've had to enjoy this place I've noticed that a very large percentage of their clients are Indian. So they must be doing something right in terms of authenticity.Thankfully they truly seem intent on spreading the love of their cuisine with anyone that walks through the door. The staff is knowledgeable and graciously patient with all questions about the menu.Normally I would break down the meal we just had here but it honestly does not matter. If you enjoy Indian cuisine or are curious about it, come here.Vegetarian options: There is a great selection of vegetarian dishes. The Vegetable Biryani is delicious.Parking: This is a strip mall. There is a great deal of parking, but you might need to cross a bit of parking lot to get to the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a Wheelchair accessible ramp up onto the sidewalk very close to the entrance. There are a few tables in he center of the restaurant that can be set up for people with limited mobility.Dietary restrictions: They are very good about answering questions concerning ingredients and substitution when possible.

Got samosas from this place, was very good. The place is small, only 3 tables, max 12 people can eat at the same time. There were variety of sweet and savory, yet to try.Updated on April 24th 2023:The parathas are too good. I tried aloo, muli and gobi paratha. All were super tasty, good spicy and not too oily.I did not like the jalebees, they were not crispy as they should be. Also, I did not find it right to get charged $5 for a small bowl of raita.

Great food! A must try! Butter chicken is mandatory every time I eat here with the fam bam .

Delicious food and service is right. Five stars I wish I could give them six. Very good price as well.
