Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Another lovely meal. Taste and spices left us with a smile on our faces. Customer service next to none, well done. Wouldn't think about going elsewhere for an Indian meal.

Curries were all a bit bland. Not enough flavour and spice and definitely far too sweet! Service was friendly and good value though

A real gem of a place, really superb food, freshly made according to your taste. Really friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is welcoming with a fabulously rustic feel in the great little town of Pwllheli. We found our Chicken Tikka Biryani really stunning.

My friend and I were recently on holiday near Pwhelli. Whilst there we decided as we both like a good curry we would treat ourselves. The Jewel in the Crown did not disappoint! I had the lamb vindaloo, whilst my friend had a chicken tikka...dupiaz, we shared some mushroom rice, chips and a garlic bread. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals there was plenty to eat and we were both extremely full leaving some rice and the chips as just no room lef!! I have to say it was one of the most flavoursome curries I've ever had and I've had a few, my friend completely agreed. The only disappointing thing was that we left it til the last night to go if we'd have gone earlier in the week we would've definitely been going again. Service and food top notch will most certainly be going again if ever in the area couldn't recommend highly enoughMore

Having ordered a sharing platter for 2 (£12.90) as a take away on arriving home we found we had been given a chicken tikka starter (£5.90), we did get the garlic naan we ordered. The meal was also cold, we will not be going again...even though we live a 2 minute walk from the restaurant and will also tell all our local (Welsh and English) friends not to bother eitherMore

As food the food it was exceptional! We would highly recommend and hope to come back and visit again in the future!More

Ordered our food and drinks, got the starter onion Bhaji that’s the 1 out of 5 which was hot, ordered the main Chicken Tikka Shasilk, came on hotplate but the meat, couple of peppers lots of lumps of onion wasn’t sizzling or even hot! asked...for rogan josh curry sauce, but to be given grey gloppy sauce with vegetables in! (my partners sauce was the same with indistinguishable vegetables and again no spicy heat, charged £4.90 for that!) I said this isn’t rogan josh, he said yes it is, then he started looking for a tomato in the sauce!!! Rogah josh is a red pepper based sauce so red, missing peppers and tomatoes, not grey and no spicy heat to it, the meal was a disgusting even the popadoms where soft!!! Not worth the £47.70 did take my sauce off £3.90!! Left leaving the food!More
