Ordered a loaded nan £15 .00 didn't expect to get 12 chips and hardly any sauce or chicken in my meal absolutely disgusting the amount they charge for so little definitely not value for money anyway won't be recommending them, the meals used to be great but now you pay for basically nothing won't be ordering anything from them again

I Used to use the Torranyard and had one of the worst meals ever on xmas night so let's hope the curry here can be top Notch ...We'll went last night and this place was fantastic 👌 The food was amazing we had the table buffet . Two curries on the main course We were both stuffed and the manager came over and put the rest in takeaway containers so gulag jamun for lunch 😀 PLEASE TRY THIS PLACE WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK

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 friends or family.

Took our children for a meal for a special occasion. Had the buffet. We were told that if anything runs out dont be shy & just let the server know. There was no popadoms or chicken korma. Naan, pakora, onion bhaji, chicken chaat, rice were all dried out. Tried to ask server on many occasions, unfortunately they she was busy all the time talking to a group of men. The group of men were also extremely loud & one made my daughter uncomfortable when she went to the buffet. Again there wasnt anyone to speak to as we couldnt hear ourselves & couldnt get hold of the only server we saw.

Placed an order for collection, it was ready on arrival. Ordered chicken tikka korma, rice, nan bread, chicken pakora and chips. The korma was watery and tasted off, the pakora was dry, and chewy. The nan bread was dry, flavourless, and worse than some store bought ones I've had. Overall its got to be one of the worst Indians I've had in kilmarnock, very disappointed and not like ones I've had in the past from here.

Recently had takeaway comprising of chicken pakora & chicken curry, whereby the chicken was tough & not fresh & tender like other Indian restaurants in Ayrshire. IMO, they must be using reheated &/or frozen chicken, as it was extremely chewy to eat.Will never use again which is a shame, as the previous family owners ran an amazing quality restaurant & takeaway service.

Used to love this restaurant tend to avoid placing negative reviews but there appears to be zero consideration for their customers these days. Ordered food today at 1815, with the Just Eat app estimating 45-60 mins for delivery. That changed on order, as usual, to 60-80 mins. They updated the Just Eat app at 1935 indicating it was out for delivery. We called to check at 1955 and apparently it was only just coming out the kitchen then. It's now 2045, 2.5 hours after the order, it's and still not delivered. Their phone is off the hook and we've started eating snacks.

Spur of the moment Friday night dinner with my wife. Restaurant relatively busy but felt spacious enough not to worry about covid. Servers v attentive and friendly. Ordered paneer Tikka and chickpea dosa to start... Superb. Decent sized portions and both lovely. Mains I had the chicken tikka tandoor and wide had the punjabi chilli. My main was so large in portion I asked to take the remainder home for lunch which was obliged. Punjabi was suitably hot. No complaints. Only issue is only Tennents on tap.... Kingfisher bottles a poor substitute for a pint. £50 Inc drinks and tip. Definitely be back. Music playlist also good :)

I've used The Jewel for years and always really enjoyed their food both in the restaurant and as takeaway. Recently I ordered a takeaway via JustEat, between Christmas and New Year and it was delivered very late. As you can imagine I was very miffed. I contacted the restaurant and the owner was professional, courteous and very pleasant. They explained all the problems that they had faced that night (I think we can all understand the various mitigating factors, these days) and promptly offered a set meal for two by way of compensation. I ordered the set meal a week later and it was great. I will continue to use the Jewel as the best food in Kilmarnock. I will, however, think twice about ever using JustEat, again. I'll go directly through the restaurant whenever possible.

We've had sit-in and carry-out meals from the Jewel for a few years, and it's been mostly very good. Tonight's wasn't. It was way over time for delivery, and the food was sub standard. The pakora was luke warm, soggy and greasy, the nan was doughy and unbaked. The masaleda was simply chicken in a tomato sauce, like tomato ketchup. The jalfrezi was okay as was the rice. This meal was a step down from the usual high standard. We will not return for a while.

Food wasn’t as good as it was. The tandoori chicken didn’t have the correct price on the menu for starters, so I was overcharged. so if not for double checking I would have been totally unaware. Tandoori chicken was just a breast cut length ways , or maybe 2 breasts of chicken. Not on the bone. And not sizzling. Not that great IMO. And no discretionary popadums and pickle as is a norm elsewhere. Disappointed. Very.

Tonight my friends and I decided to get a carru out which we've been looking forward to for the last 3 months we got two portions of chicken tikka and two sauces we enjoyed the sources we got a couple of channa pouri also which were fine but the chicken was the most awful pieces of chicken I've ever experienced from this restaurant four chicken breasts which were hard they were burnt they were dry we could hardly cut through them, in other words they were inedible the order cost £35 we got no free poppadoms and spiced onions, which you used to get, basically very very disappointed, as this has always been our go-to Indian restaurant it will be awhile before we go back unfortunately, very poor. 😢👚

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 when it arrives!

The photos of the venue on tripadvisor are not of the actual place. It is a takeaway, with 3 booths and a few tables, which look like they have been pulled out of an old closed down restaurant. This place cannot be classed as a restaurant. All the fast food takeaway customers are coming and going and the delivery drivers are sitting about. We ordered 2 starters, 2 curries, a mixed xxl kebab and some drinks. The curries were decent, no complaints, the kebab was anaemic looking, on asking they said they had cooked it in an oven as opposed to a grill or tandoor. If nowhere else is available, and you need a meal, then take your chance, I will be avoiding in the future, bill for 3 was £52, certainly not cheap for a small town.

Edited 28/09. After being a customer for a few years over the last few orders we have had an issue from missing items to poor customer service, however tonight just no words...when we ordered saw massive price increase and when food arrived, an hour after order placed, it was minimal portions. The pizza was cold and hard, the dopiaza had a weird taste which I couldn't eat , roll on 5 hours from consumption my partner has been ill and can't stop being sick. Never again will I order anything from here again, when you call ( over the years there has been perhaps 2/3 issue's) the staff are rude and don't give a dam.

First off, their prices are ridiculous. We tried them a year ago and paid more for a take home curry than we did when we go sit down at a restaurant!! The food tasted ok back then. Nothing memorable but not awful. I saw the sign that they were under new ownership. I thought I'd try them again. I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but they've gotten worse. I paid more than £25 for 2 ckn curries and 2 naans. No rice. No starters. Not even a poppadom. 25 POUNDS. I made my own 'hoose rice'. Flavour: my son got the HOT Garlic chili which was not hot at all. Did they think we look like people who can't handle spicy food? The korma tastes like it came from a cheap jar sauce. I thought the saving grace would be the Peshawari Naan. The previous owners made a great peshawari naan, but nope. Doughy. Bland. No honey. Forget this place. I can't stand when places price gouge us because we're in a rural area. I couldn't believe their prices and then the low quality food. It's such an insult. If you want GREAT Indian food at an amazing price (£6 for a starter, curry, AND rice for lunch), then look at Jai Apur in Ardrossan. Those folks know how to make a tasty curry that's easy on the wallet. It's worth the drive. As for this place, drive past. Give it a miss.

The food was overcooked. We waited for over an hour for our delivery. Not good quality and would not recommend or use again.
