Jewel In The Crown

Been here a few time before, during and after covid when they, like most restaurants in Aberdeen, were struggling with low bookings hitting their ability to serve high quality food. Well I can honestly say that is not the case now. What a thoroughly delicious meal we had. We had a mixed grill starter that wasn’t on the menu, a spicy Ceylonian type curry, again not on the menu and a dhall with rice and bread. The mixed grill was delicious, the meat was soft, moist and so tasty. The main curry was just what I fancied and just the right spice. The tarka dhall was amazing, full of spices and bitter garlic. All scooped up with sweet Peshawari naan and a bottle of Pinot noir. Can’t recommend enough

Sad day! What was once Aberdeen’s flagship Indian restaurant, it has sadly lost its crown. We had a meal from what used to be the creme del a creme of Indian’s in the city going back many a year, but the food was watered down and no longer authentic, it is definitely not what it used to be. Aberdeen has far better offerings in this category now.

I asked the team at Jewel in the crown if they could bring back a dish from their old menu as takeaway (Moghlai leg of lamb) as it is arguably the best dish of any Indian restaurant in Aberdeen. What can I say, they delivered that and more! Excellent as always!

The Jewel fails to sparkle. They sold us the worst chicken pakora ever. The rest of the order was average at best except the rice. The rice was great. Be sure to find somewhere else to order food from as this please is over rated.

Been going for the best part of three decades and it never disappoints. The ultimate in how a family business should be run and maintained. Great food, amazing service and always on point. A must when you are in Aberdeen.
