Jewel In The Crown — Restaurant in Scotland

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...

Used to be our favourite but has really went down hill. Ordered take-away on Friday and was told be 30 mins and arrived 1hr 20mins later stone cold. Never expect to have to microwave our meal but had no option it just wasn't edible. Never even got poppadoms with it which is usually standard with an Indian meal! We ate in the restaurant the other week too and this was so different, slow service, have started charging for the poppadom platter when you used to get this before your starters which a lot of Indians do. Don't mind paying for them, even if they just added the cost to the prices of the main etc it's just a nice touch when you go for an Indian meal. They also got our bill wrong as well which isn't like them, the service was just night and day from what it used to be. I'll probably get our take-aways from bombay grill in future, it's so much further away from us but is always hot...

Went for Christmas buffet with family and friends. Had been a few times and been very good but this time was disgusting. Starters what there was of them were barely warm main course same again not very warm and sauce was am sure out a jar. Very bland . When we phoned to book a table we were told there would be Sweets as with other buffet 's thought there might of been 4 or 5 to choose from no just ice cream vanilla or strawberry. Turns out there was no vanilla left. Ice cream was full of sugar lumps an ice. Soft drinks a pint of soda an lime £3 and their trying to discourage drink driving well at thoes prices be cheaper having a pint of lager. Definitely won't be back the changes have definitely not been...
