Everything was phenomenal. We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry for us and chicken pacora for our 3 year old. The naan was delicious, too! 100% will be going again. The service was quick. The waiter was kind & patient with us, even with 2 kids!
India's Oven is a hidden gem in the middle of an ominous strip mall. My wife found the place and Google made a reservation for us. No reservations were needed. The place was empty with a gentleman and his assistant watching out the front window waiting for customers at dinner time (6:30pm). They greeted us at the door with welcoming smiles and showed us to the elegant fine dining tables. Water glasses were filled and the delicately folded cloth napkins were placed on our laps. I don't know that the warm hospitality of the staff would turn away children, but I would not take a child into the place that does not have the utmost respect for other patrons peacefully eating a traditional Indian Feast. The food was amazing. Our server started us off with an appetizer that I can not pronounce, but any basic white girl could enjoy. The sweet and sour sauce and the mint pesto was super cool to try. They suggested our entrees, Nan and brought out complimentary deserts. It was a great culinary adventure for us to explore traditional food from India. 10 out of 10 for the overall experience. Thrilled that we tried it. If you want to try authentic foods from other cultures, this is a place to add to your list. Price was very reasonable for the food and ambience we experienced. Sorry no photos this time.
Excellent, attentive service. Uber fresh food. Would have had better ambiance if the overhead lighting was turned off and all the fancy light fixtures lit.
Ordered takeout from this restaurant and overall the food was good. The chicken tikka masala was very flavorful and had the perfect amount of heat. It didn't taste too tomato-y like some other restaurants make their tikka masala. The chicken pieces were very few, and for the price I expected to get more meat. The tandoori chicken tasted good but it was very dry. The portion was plentiful, however. The garlic naan was kind of hard and dry but still had lots of garlic flavor. Service was fast and they had our order ready within 15 minutes of calling it in.
Always love getting pick-up from this place. Food is always top notch! Highly recommend!
