The Indian Jewel of Toledo is a great place for vegans with lots of options. For lunch, there is a buffet that typically has four or more clearly labeled vegan options. We were there this past Sunday and we had Daal Makhani (black lentils), Vegetable Korma, Cabbage Masala, Pakoras and a Muligatwany Soup, in addition to a lettuce-based salad. We have been to lunch here many times, and there is some variety in the dishes, though the amount of clearly-labeled vegan food is always high.

The dinner menu does not have items labeled if they are vegan, though the wait staff is helpful. There are 23 items on the vegetarian section of the menu, though not all of those can be made vegan. Even so, you will have plenty options, including some interesting ones that we don’t typically see on Indian restaurant menus (e.g., cabbage masala, which is one of our favorites!).

There are lots of good options for Indian food in the Toledo area. We applaud the Jewel for clearly labeling their buffet items that are vegan. Their food is fresh, delicious and creative. We urge you to visit!

While we were eating, the cook came into the dining area and started to yell at two customers sitting right behind us. Apparently the cook was offended because there was a complaint about the food. The customers were both respectful of the cook and he was rude and abusive to this young couple. The argument inside lasted about 5 minutes with the cook yelling a did not give the couple time to respond, they were both calm and collected. I one point I was fearful that the cook was going to completely lose it and physically attack this yoing man. The male customer used profanity against the cook which caused the cook to ask him to go outside, leaving the young lady in the restraunt.
The young man had valid points regarding the food, the food was NOT fresh, the rice was undercooked and the food was mediocre at best.
We had to ask three times for our check and water, we finally received our check and no water.
The cook returned to the dining room pushing the young man back outside and he locked the front door. He returned to the young lady and told her he didn't want to see her face in there again and threw her out. She told him to eff off as she unlocked the door, he then returned to the dining area and followed her out the door. We didn't see any of them again. We finally paid our bill and left.
The cook was absolutely wrong and handled the situation horribly.
This was my first and last time here.
The buffet was absolutely not worth $18.00 a piece.
