It’s not as far as India, but Jay Ho restaurant in Round Lake can be tricky to locate. Once you find it, though, you’ll be glad you did. In the Valley Hills strip mall, seemingly out in the country and away from the hustle and bustle of Lake County, is the Jay Ho Indian Restaurant featuring authentic north Indian food as well as Oriental delicacies.

Entering the small, cozy eatery, which features cloth napkins and tablecloths, you immediately smell a cherry, rather sweet aroma. 

Water is poured quickly and a plate of naan, flat-leavened bread baked in a clay oven, is at your table.
