Jewel Balti in Monmouthshire

This was our first visit here but unfortunately food and service were terrible. While we sat we even hear staff’s were literally shouting and laughing. Food was greasy and oily, no taste at all and overpriced. We wouldn’t recommend this place and never going back again.

Great food, but the waiter was surly and inexplicably kept asking us to clear the table for him.

Super food. Staff really attentive and careful with my food choices. Over 80% of the menu is gluten free. I feel confident and safe to eat in this restaurant.

Excellent meal. Couldn't fault the service or standard of food offered. We'll certainly be back the next time we are in Monmouth

This is a lovely Indian restaurant in Monmouth. Been here a few times and it's never disappointed.i would recommend this place if you like a nice Indian meal.

Best Indian takeaway in Monmouth!

What a great find! We just finished eating and we are stuffed. Portions are huge so we probably over ordered. Quality of food was as good as I’ve ever eaten in UK. Also the staff that served me were very friendly and restaurant looked very nice, although we had a takeaway for four people so didn’t actually dine in. Superb!

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Generous portions, nicely presented, good unhurried service. Hope to visit again.

Great restaurant, food, service, atmosphere all top notch.

Excellent meal. Cooked with care. Nice surroundings and pleasant staff.

A superb experience at this restaurant, with several dishes I’d not seen before on any menu and some of the tastiest Tarka Dhall I’ve had. Friendly staff, a cold pint of Kingfisher and superb food. Not sure I needed anything else!

We visited your restaurant on Saturday 7th September without booking. We have been many years ago but have since visited what was the Raduna. We wanted to see what the food was like so that we'd have a new regular place when on holiday from Benfleet, Essex. Must say that we now have a new favourite! We chose mushroom rice with a prawn Korma and one with chicken Korma, absolutely delicious. We did feel one of the staff could have been a little more friendly but other than that we had a very nice experience.

Had a wonderful time with our family last weekend for my nephew birthday. We enjoyed a lovely evening and delicious curry at monmouth it was a old a well restaurant i ever seen. Thank you

Second time around at this place and it did not disappoint. The food was so fresh and delightful, full of flavour. The staff, as before, very attentive and professional. You can see the passion they have for this place and customer satisfaction. The menu is very different with a taste to suit all the family.

We visited Jewel balti last week with my family. Had a awesome moment with lovely atmosphere, When we visited, a large number of costumers was there for not only as a old restaurant but also for his different delicious curry, Moreover, they have lovely friendly staff. Wish you guys visit the restaurant whenever get any chance to visit monmouth.Thanks

By far the best Indian restaurant in the area. Eaten in here several times and had a couple of takeaways and never disappointed. This is one of the rare Indian restaurants that serve a beef curry and it is by far the best thing on the menu.

Last week i visited monmouth, I here me and my friend looking for a good food with lovely atmosphere, we visited one of top restaurant which is near 39drybridge street, jewel balti, There we had tasted starter fish tikka, chicken pakora that was lovely. At the time of main course one of their staff recommend me to try chicken tikka handi murug. Which comes with tandoori chicken normally that was on the bone. And its tast was awesome. I personally thanks to chef and the staff who recommended me to try this. Wish you guys visit this restaurant. Thanks

Went with some friends to Jewel Balti tonight Wonderful food as always I would highly recommend Lai Toofan Chicken spicy andnice

Had the set meal. Way too much food, but all of it superb. Loved it.

Friendly staff and tasty food Eat curry here

Amazing restaurant! The food was outstanding and the staff were very delicate at handling things. I felt very welcomed and was very satisfied with the food. I adored the King Prawn bhuna and chicken jalrizy! The food was so delicious and my friends already booked to dine here again! Would recommend for anyone who just wants to sit down and relax. Atmosphere felt so comforting and exquisite! Wonderful time 😄

I visited Jewel Balti at Monmouth with my family I really enjoy this meal specially The Special Fish was delicious flavoured, I will all recommend that try this place when you have time....

Fabulous food tasty and always scrumptious. Take away or restaurant meal . Loved all the different meals I’ve had . Hard to recommend any one thing . All lovely . Service always good . Smashing place always a lovely atmosphere

Really wonderful and amazing! Enjoyed the food and was very luxurious. Service was incredible and the atmosphere is great. The aroma from the food is addicting and couldn't get enough of the curry's! I came with friends and it was a very relaxed and comforting place. We all felt the same way where the staff were very welcoming.

Food was amazing. Loved every second of this place with my friends. Not only is it a restaurant, it’s a place you can get together, have an Indian and grab a few drinks

I ordered fish special and it was served beautifully, definitely would recommend it for seafood lovers! I loved the atmosphere as it was really relaxing and comforting. I felt very happy coming here and would dine here again! This place is wonderful for a night out with family and friends. The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, they do a lot unlike most waiters in your typical restaurant. The people who work there really try hard and care for us customers. All my friends already booked to come here again and can’t get enough of variety of different curry’s, where each one are unique in its own way!

go every 2 weeks for last couple of months the food is great never been disapointed and the service is lovely. The menu is great so much to choose from and the building is large and easy for elderly people great place and nice service.

This is a must-visit spot! The food is outstanding, the staff are welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting! Amazing food & The desserts are superb. I highly recommended to visit the place

Lovely weekend with my family and friends . Had a wonderful time with lovely delicious curries .All of my friends more much happy to visit this restaurant . I love their biryani more I expect.

Lovely new dacoration with good service from the staff of Jewel Balti monmouth, i visited last time but now restaurant is completely different than the others time with amazing food. Wish all of you guys visit the restaurant. Thank you

Its the best Indian restaurant that I've been to. Lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming. Love the menu. Murgh Lahore... delicious. I would recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic meal, the international Jalfrezi was incredible, service very friendly with great timing.

Disgusting. Horrific food. Abysmal service and Arrogance. Ordered a chutney tray but got no lime pickle. No large cobras. Starter was horrific 4 prawns and just bland yoghurt and sliced onion. No spice or taste to it at all for a spicy garlic chicken. I then asked for a chicken tikka balti light on the ghee and it arrived swimming in oil. Please see tge pictures. Inedible. My parter ordered the chicken tikka bombay sizzling which was most definately recooked chicken and was neither hot nor sizzling. We asked for some wedges of lemon only for two lemonades to arrive at the table. Complaining about the bill I was then met with utter contempt and arrogance from the manager. Completely and utterly appauling customer service and charged over 68 gbp and a complete refusal to remove the inedible ghee drowned balti from my bill. I am furious and disgusted with this place. Personally I will ensure none of my friends ever visit this appauling establishment. The arrogant and disgusting approach to customer service and complaint handing horrified me. There are much better indian restaurants in town. Some people aren't fit to run a restuarant and the manager is just that an appallingly rude character with a ego the size of a planet. I WILL NEVER BE NEAR THE JEWEL BALTI AGAIN. It's food is reheated and inedible and the staff are appauling. Updated following your response. Honesty is one quality I value far above ANY other. You are completely dishonest here. To recieve a statement that I arrived late when I hadn't booked shows you aren't telling the truth for one. Half drunk I don't think so. I had two small cobras and ordered a bottle of wine which we didn't even finish. I would think very hard about what you say here. I didn't book.. you lied. I wasn't half drunk yet another lie. I appreciate restaurants that work hard and serve decent food. I am a regular customer at the misbah I have been for decades and I also support the himalayan lounge. I gave you a chance on a mobday to see what you were like and i wont be back. Your food is awful. Your arrogance unbelievable and you also lie. You are decietful and on that basis unethical an amoral. You haven't commented on the chicken being reheated. I sincerely hope your lies deceit and dishonesty are seen by many. Appauling. Shame on you a shame on you and the chain you represent. Personally I think you alone will give your restaurant and your chain a bad reputation. I value many characteristics of which you Sir have zero...None. Good luck

Excellent very tasty meal in nice surroundings. Great service and nice atmosphere.

This place is consistently great. Ate here 2 weekends on the trot recently and both times the food was delicious. The staff are very friendly too and even make us our favourite side dish which isn’t on the menu. Lovely setting too. Highly recommend.

Amazing food but service was a bit slow and forgetful. The atmosphere was nice however a very rowdy party was at the next table which made our conversation hard.

Brilliant food Brilliant staff ! we were in a rush to see a show , We told them this before we were seated and they said they would do their best and fair play to them they were spot on time . I would highly recommend !

Amazing food with lovely atmosphere. Due to busy as for weekend all of their staff did well while they serve food. Wish to visit again.

We had a beautiful night out with the family and friends. They have a nice round table. Food and service was amazing. We was put in the far booth so it was nice and cozy, felt private aswell. Would recommend for people to give a try. They have a great menu selection to choose from.

Excellent food, good service and lovely atmosphere at monmouth Jewel Balti. Highly recommended this restaurant.

This is our go to place to meet our friends. The food is always excellent, the service attentive and the atmosphere fabulous. They are also really mindful if you have food intolerances. See you again soon!

Fantastic food and staff are very friendly

Had a wonderful night out with the family. We decided to visit Jewel Balti Monmouth as we are new to the area. We was surprised by the number of dishes there was to choose from. The waiters were very helpful and explained the entire menu to us with great detail. The food was delicious and the hospitality of the waiters was amazing. Definitely would go again when I get the opportunity and would recommend others to try out as-well. From the outside it didn’t look big but when you go in it’s massive.

Jewel Balti is one of the best restaurants in monmouth, Newport. Besides it provide delicious food and nice staff behavior.

Ok it was a wet Tuesday evening but we had to wait before being seated in an empty restaurant and the wait nearly an hour for our food order to arrive. The kitchen seemed to be prioritising take away orders. Food was ok, but not anything special and the prices were much higher than previous visits.

Jewel Balti is one of the top restaurant in monmouth. last week we visited in monmouth for the purpose my our business and at the dinner time we were looking for good food. From the pub they have recommend you should try jewel Balti is best for good serve with delicious food. And their recommend was absolutely true. We enjoyed a lovely evening.

Last week i visited monmouth with my wife, At dinner time we enjoyed a lovely weekend because of delicious food, we did not booked before suddenly we went there, there was more much busy but we got a set we enjoyed good food,.wish you guys visit this restaurant at monmouth jewel balti.

Last Couple week ago i went to jewel balti Monmouth with my friend, We enjoyed a lovely evening with great environment, their food was so delicious, among of curry south indian garlic chicken was best. I really appricate their food and their friendly service , I would highly recommend to try this restaurant. Thank you

Jewel Balti one of the restaurant in my eyes, last week i visited the restaurant and enjoyed a very good evening, food was lovely and delicious, i ordered for myself curry as well a chicken biryani and that was awesome tasted ever, environment was excellent. Hope you guys visit this restaurant i wish i visit again,Sorry for not take picture. Next time i will do. Thank you.

Came with my friends for dinner out, Staff are very friendly and kind. Food was delicious and we left feeling very satisfied. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. Thank you. 😊

This is great restaurant! They have a huge selection of all kinds of foods, a beautiful room environment, and the most friendly staff I’ve encountered in a long time. I got a better deal than I was in expecting on delicious food. I’ll definitely be back!”

I've been here a couple of times for a take out. Food was great, prices were great and staff are just lovely.

Fantastic Indian food. The plain naan is the best I've ever had. Not a cheap night, but well worth it for a treat. Plenty of meat, good lager, great menu, excellent staff. I used to use another Indian restaurant across town (we are spoilt in Monmouth) but not any more. As good as any curry house I've ever eaten in. Update March 2024. Over the last year this place has disappointed. Food not as good. On the last visit we were asked 4 times if we wanted poppadoms. Waiter interrupted our conversation to ask if our food was ok, rather than come back at a less intrusive point. We have gone back to our old favourite in town.

Very friendly staff. Great service . Lovely Atmosphere. Very Very clean place. 6 of us ordered a meal with extras and drinks. Came out 1 portion of chips short but in Fairness they arrived very quick... Too quick in fact as they wernt cooked ..Food was hot and plenty of it but there was that wow fact missing. Tasteless and bland..and we all tried everything. Set meal was suppose to finish with 2 coffees which didn't arrive and we didnt mention. We paid the bill of £165.00 plus a tip and left. They even opened the door for us and wished us a lovely evening.

Great food and accommodating. Excellent service. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really good food. Very slow service for take away. Pre ordered two hours before collection. Still waited half an hour on arrival.

A nice atmosphere & friendly staff, food was very nice but a little over priced compared to other Indian restaurants of equal quality.

Had a birthday dinner at Bouchon du Rossi last evening. I would like to give 5 stars, as I have always done so in the past. But no, not tonight Josephine. In hindsight, I shall begin enquiring when I make my booking ~ 'do you have any large table bookings on this evening? There were 3 large bookings which seemed to dominate everything from waitrons through to the kitchen. I have never been served warm food before at Bouchon. The chips were not up to their usual standard, they were hard. Vegetable side dishes and boiled potatoes were the only hot food of the meal. Sauce portions which used to cover the plate, barely managed half way. One dessert was ordered as a ' take home' for someone who could not come with. It was packed in an ice cream tub with some kind of film covering it. The profiterol eaten at the table, had stood around and was already melting when eaten. Including the owner's partner, there were 5 waitrons. It appeared that they were run off their feet. A lot of attention being required at the larger tables. HOWEVER, I will say, it's my opinion that the waitrons make this restaurant as much as the food usually does. They are always friendly, cheerful and work hard to make the customers feel welcome. One of the main reasons we return.

Great food. Be prepared for it to take a long time on a busy Saturday!

Everyone enjoyed the food and service. Fresh fluffy naans and a perfect dhansak. Good portion sizes. Bit pushy on the starters and side dishes - we know they exist!!! Drinks choices were a bit limited.

Such a shame this was my favourite place four years ago sadly been met with appauling service made to feel very unwelcome and ruined a celebratory night:( food ok but orders got muddled this felt as if it was my fault. Feel sorry for staff the stress they will get tonight.

Visited here with my wife, despite having a few in, the service is quick and efficient. Food is excellent and the vindaloo extra spicy delicious. We will definitely recommend and return.

The manners of the guy that served me was just lovely . In these times it’s rare . The food was fresh , clean feeling , not stodgy . Absolutely delicious. Even the “neon “ mint sauce . I couldn’t find the yoghurt / raita though which would’ve been a perfect accompaniment.

Probably the best Indian food I have ever had. Delicious fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. No booking made, but accomodated a table of 6.

Probably the very best Indian food we've ever had. Really busy restaurant but each table/booth felt intimate and quiet. Super attentive staff and really friendly but polite. Wish we lived nearer...we'd eat there at least once a week! Strongly recommend booking to avoid missing out.

We live in Monmouth and we’re recommended by many people to try this gorgeous restaurant. We weren’t disappointed. Beautiful relaxing decor, super friendly and attentive staff and the food OMG! Delicious. A real jewel in Monmouth⭐️

Never been here before. What a find. Great food, good menu choice. Staff member recommended a really nice curry. Really nice staff.

Despite not booking, they managed to squeeze us in a table of 6 on a Saturday night. A huge menu with masses of choice, but nicely laid out and with little explainers on some of the lesser known dishes. The wait for food was decent and the food itself excellent. We had a large variety of dishes between us and everyone was happy with what they ordered. The only downside is that it took quite a long time to get the bill when we had clearly finished and we’re ready to leave. Otherwise the staff we attentive on drinks and extras and the atmosphere was nice. Despite being a big place there’s plenty of small nooks and half rooms to keep it cosy.

On holiday in Monmouth at the moment, went there last night for a meal, excellent food, lovely friendly staff, clean, comfortable and relaxing evening, highly recommended, we are going back again Friday evening, best in the area

Fabulous food. We always come here when we visit Monmouth.

I visited jewel balti last month with my family. It was quite busy but luckily we booked our table. I was fancy for a beef dish, so waiter suggested me jewel balti mangsho. I must mention that it was one of the best beef dish i have ever tried. Beef was so tender and juicy. It had some potato as well. Rest of my family loved their dishes too. I must recommend this place. Service was top class. Definitely coming back again.

We went to Jwel Balti in Monmouth with friend and family. Had a beautiful evening down there. Food was so tasty as usual. Must recommend this place.

We went to Jewel Balti last week. We booked a table of six people. They gave us a boots round table. Service was excellent. I tried one of the best beef dish Jewel Balti Mangsho. It was so good, beef was so tender and testy. Must recommend this place.

We had a lovely evening at Jewel Balti last weekend. We visited for a family dinner, as we walked in we surprised to see how big inside is, such a beautiful restaurant in Monmouth. We tried their recommendation on their chef specialties, I tried Garlic lamb aloo, it’s a lamb dish, nice flavour, texture and lamb was so tender, very delicious. One of the best lamb curry I recon. Service was fantastic. We will definitely back again. One of the best curry house in town

We have travelled to India twice and have eaten at various Indian restaurants in the UK. We were travelling through Monmouth en route to Devon and decided to eat at the Jewel Balti. The food was considerably sub standard to what we are used to in Indian restaurants and the manage were intransigent when we commented regarding this saying we should not compare as every restaurant is different!, Our advice - please go somewhere else for your evening dinner

Another lovely night in the Jewel .Group of 7 we all enjoyed our meals & would highly recommend & very reasonable prices

Got a take out, service was fine. When I got back I was very disappointed with the serving protions, 7.50 for the garlic King prawn and I had 2 prawns? Also my naga curry had 3 peices of lamb in. My partner had the butter chicken which was very nice, but overall this was not good enough. Nann bread was burnt. Just a shame I have had a curry from them before and it has been good.

Had a really good meal. Food was really good quality BIR (British Indian Restaurant). My rogan josh was just right. According to their reports my wife’s chicken saag Balti and son’s chicken jalfrezi were equally good. Based on our experience, we will definitely be back.

Amazing food . Beautiful restaurant & very friendly people

Having dined inside this restaurant a few times and been satisfied, we ordered a takeaway on Saturday evening at 6pm. The chicken balti had 8 slices (not chunks) of chicken in it. These were not marinated in any way snd were very tasteless The balti sauce in this chicken dish was visibly very watery with no consistency and was equally disappointing to taste. The tarka Dahl was also lacking in taste. Overall a disappointing culinary experience and the worst Indian cuisine we have had locally in years

Felt as though we were in the way. Rushed and abrupt attitude. Meager, overcooked portions. Bland, gravy like sauces. I have eaten in hundreds of Indian restaurants and feel this is by far the worst food I have tasted. Lived in Monmouth for 10 years and was around when this place opened with the inappropriate sign in a very beautiful part of town. The food wasn't good then and seems to have deteriorated. My one piece of tikka ckicken was sliced into ultra thin portions, made to look like a decent amount. Shocking. A shame but myself and colleagues have made a decision never to spend money there again.

This place has amazing atmosphere with a huge place, great food, drinks and top notch service. We went there last Saturday as there very busy but our table was pre booked. I ordered chicken international jalfrazi from someone recommendation. That was one of the best jalfrazi I’ve had after ages. Food came on time as well. Definitely come back again. Must recommend this place for visitors.

Nan bread was not cooked very doughy the chicken was like frozen chicken very small pieces not even chunks dry and very chewy, ordered chicken tikka, but the chicken was plain chicken very poor quality overall will not be going back

Arrived, and poppadoms arrived, starter OK. Bhriyani worst I've ever had. No taste, just a pilau rice and some chicken thrown in. We thought we would give it another chance after a chewy lamb curry but we won't be going back. Service is long and drawn out. Waiting over an hour between starter and main. Dining room was cold, myself and others sat in coats. Very disappointing.

We took some friends for a meal on Saturday for 7pm, the waiters were slow and not very helpful. We waited for an hour and three quarters for our meal to come. Mine was tepid and nothing special. Shall not be going again.

Reliable food. Perhaps a touch less oil in my Biriany sauce would have improved it but taste was good.

Excellent evening out at Jewel Balti. Food was amazing and service was second to none. We were a large group and they handled us brilliantly. Will definitely go again and will be recommending to friends and family.

They booked for us a large round table which was very comfortable to celebrate our party. Their waiter service was so excellent. Food was so delicious , Mostly spicy food was excellent.After All environment was so quiet, noiseless and neat and clean.As well owner of...

As always the food is first class.

Fabulous food, we eat Indian cuisine all over the UK. This is one of the best!!

Good food, great friends nice atmosphere really worth a night out

Love this place, great food every time

Delicious food and very friendly service!

We ordered a large takeaway on last Saturday for family dinner. Food was ready on time. After long time we have had nice family dinner from our best curry house in town. Specially jewel balti Mangsho was so good. Will be ordering soon again for...

Best Curry that I have ever had. Amazing staff in a beautiful clean environment. 110% recommended. This fourth visit, the curry wasn't as good as previous visits. Tasted like cold chicken.slices merely added to curry sauce.

Work away in central London a lot. Always searching for a good pathia or dhansak and nothing in London compares to jewel balti versions. Excellent flavours

Excellent restaurant , staff are very friendly and the premises runs like a well oiled machine - Vegetarian food is very good. Can get busy. Highly recommended A++

Have eaten takeaways from here over many years and I just can’t bear to waste my money again. The food was tepid and actually pretty tasteless. Watery sauce, no flavour and so expensive. I feel ripped off. They used to serve good food now the...

Greeting into restaurant with a little attitude. Food was bland and disappointing. Could hear chefs arguing in the kitchen....nice. Next time I am in Monmouth, will try another restaurant. Not cheap either.
