Thought we try this restaurant after seeing they were on ZG. The food was extremely tasty and the portion size is same as other Indian restaurants. They cater for different tastebuds by allowing you to order the different level of spiciness. They also have promotional offers during the week so will be as cheap as ZG.

Went to this restaurant to have a late lunch with my family. This was my third visit so far. You can easily missed the entrance as it is located at the end of a long alley.
We choose the lunch set meal of $12.99 per person which includes a choice of curry (exclude seafood and Tandoori chicken), rice and a garlic naan.
We chose Butter Chicken, Mango Chicken, Beef Korma and Chicken Saagwala.
A complimentary Poppadoms were served.
Meals were served promptly with ice water.
Although we were the only customers in the restaurant, the waitress was very attentive.
The taste of the Mango Chicken and Butter Chicken were a little bit different than what we had before.
The highlight of the dish was Chicken Saagwala (Spinach). Full of spinach blended in to puree.
Overall we were satisfied with the meal and will come back again.
Didn't realise the restaurant offer Zomato gold until we have ordered.
Best Indian for the price I have found in Auckland.
Can you ever really get good pic of curry tho???? Butter chick & lamb Korma @jewelofindiamissionbay the other night thanks to @zomatogold for this hidden gem (or jewel 😝). @jewelofindiamissionbay was such a treat spot, amazing service and such a beaut atmosphere & to top it all off the food was a solid 10/10 - I’m a big butter chick fan & I think this place is the best I’ve ever had, tired the lamb korma to be adventurous (lol) & we both loved it, sweet and yummy!! 🍽💎 curry > everything 😜
Surprisingly distinctive & great flavour!
The staff are doing their jobs well and are accommodating.
Good quantity for a couple to dine-in on. 2 curries, 2 na'an and the (free) rice did us good!
I get dinner from here almost once a week due to its cheap M-W deals. The price has recently increased from $10 to $13 for mains. Still worth the price. You can easily stretch the portions to have dinner one night and lunch the next day.
I love the Balti Chicken, garlic naan, and onion baji.
Although the ambiance of the restaurant is nice, I highly recommend the takeout option for cold winter nights snuggled next to the heater while rewatching Harry Potter.
Generally the best curry around.
They can be quite inconsistent at times, particularly the spice level (medium can literally mean anything).
Garlic Naan is good.
Paneer Tikka Masala is my go-to dish.
Mon, Tues, Wed is $10 night which is great for after work or a catch up with friends. Their food seems to always be fresh and taste amazing. I also enjoy their nan bread which is always so fresh and to die for.
Great service and quite a big restaurant hidden down a little alley.
There's another Indian a couple hundred metres up the road so please don't get them confused
Always delicious food (amazing Naan!), friendly staff and warm environs! Great deals for Sunday through Wednesday - recommend for good Indian cuisine.
My absolute favourite Indian restaurant. I always order the garlic naan, "kids" butter chicken, lamb rogan josh and the amazing tandoori lamb chops. The staff here are very pleasant. Especially one of the waiters - Kunal. He's absolutely wonderful- always smiling and welcoming (and he remembers my order off by heart haha). Would love to see changes in the music, ambience , and decor. Apart from that , wonderful food .. wonderful service. Thank you x
Namaste Jewel of India !
Food was really good. Tomato puree flavor in chicken curry was awesome. not very spicy that's the good part about it.
It's good to see that restaurant is not merely showing the picture of Taj Mahal to represent the Indian jewel .
Overall the staff was courteous, hospitable and sweet. Punjabi guy had the enthu to make sure the service is good and made sure that I liked it or if something was to be added.
Overall on ambience, I do feel there were a lot of tables packed in for seating capacity. Music was old Bollywood instrumental, nice music.
All in all a good experience to have th food, fill in and go to enjoy a stroll and sunset on the beach.
Cheers jewel of India.
And yea, one last thing - there was no WiFi password shared. Which is a let down in today's age.
It was awesome dinner on my birthday night . I went first time. It was very tasty food & very good service by staff.
Definitely my favourite Indian Restaurant and arguably my favourite restaurant in general. I recommend the banquet to anyone that wants to experience a little bit of everything. For those who are interested in playing it a bit safer the butter chicken and mango chicken are incredible. Can’t wait to my next meal there.
This is my favourite local Indian restaurant, for both take away and dine in. The food is yummy, I often customise my dishes and they are always happy to accommodate for it. Staff is friendly and efficent with food served on time.
I came to this restaurant after so many years. Loved the ambience, staff & food. Definitely recommended in Mission Bay.
Very small restaurant but the quality of food is best .... Tasty and delicious. Great quality. Nice sitting of chairs. Very competitive prices compared to near costly Indian restaurant. I would love to go again.
Loved everything about this restaurant. The location, staff and environment was amazing. Definently one of the best India restaurants I've tried. Price was very reasonable as well. Would definitely visit again.
Delicious, delicious, delicious! Nothing else to add. Food is fantastic, service is great. Can be a little noise during busy dinner service, but nothing to worry.
Each time we are there, I forgot to take pictures because I can't stop myself for a minute. Everything is very good.
Service is great too.
A bit average really. They need to pick up their presentation, waiter served us in jeans! Need to dim those bright lights as well to better the atmospher. I had Goan Fish Curry and couldn't eastlish any fish taste and the pieces of fish were tiny!
We got a delivery a few months ago and... wow! The food was authentic, very tasty, and was still hot when delivered from Mission Bay to CBD. We thought it would be our go-to Indian takeaway after that, but it lost a star because the quality and portions since then have been pretty inconsistent. Avoid on Saturday nights.
