Blade review: Indian Jewel of Toledo, is known well for two things: delicious, flavorful food and sloth-slow service. It's unfair to hold against the South Toledo restaurant the snail's pace because that's part of the experience. Although our food on two visits was not perfect, each dish received high marks for flavor. There's a buffet-only lunch option served during the afternoon and a full-menu dinner service. Take with you your patience and either a loquacious friend or a good book, and enjoy some of the best Indian food in the region.
