I am giving India Oven 5 stars because I have just come back from eating the single best Chicken Tikka Masala that I have ever had. It was not the usual smooth tomato and cream sauce that tastes almost the same wherever you go. Instead, India Oven serves theirs with thin fresh strips of ginger and a sauce that is... More

When we visited they had a great lunch deal on - $6 for a full plate with a variety of items, including daal, chicken curry, vegetable potato curry and naan. The value is unbelievable for that price. Their dinner menu was significantly more expensive - I'd stick with the lunch. The dark windows on the place make it look closed... More

A small storefront hides a nice Indian Restaurant with delicious food, good prices and a friendly staff. In a strip mall with one large empty store, this restaurant is a find! Not fine dining, but a step above a typical family style restaurant. Nice table settings and serving containers. More

First of all my Chicken Madras (with coconut in it) was fabulous! I would definitely go to India Oven again just for that dish. Not the not so good... we ordered the appetizer sampler of samosa, vegetable pakora, and fried cheese. The vegetable pakora was OK, though a little greasy. The samosa was almost solid potato, not worth it, and... More

I sent the chicken back to the kitchen. She brought it back within seconds to ask again what was wrong with it. That was insulting to have a chef or cook who can't tell between burnt and raw. It was disgusting. I sent it back again and I had to pay for uncooked, burnt, bloody, uneaten chicken. Not going back.... More
