"Situated in a strip mall in Silver Spring, Jewel of India is a hidden gem that specializes in familiar flavors of North Indian cuisine done well. The house special vegetarian thali lets guest pick three dishes in addition to dal, a pulao rice, and a choice of naan or roti. The malai kofta, cheese and vegetable fritters in a creamy sauce, are a must try, but there are also around 15 vegetarian curries available." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
