I aways thought " The Oven" was not authentic - being in Lincoln. NE. I was wrong. The Mulligatawny was delicate but still spicy Vegetarian Thali was very good and had 5-6 dishes plus spices and dessert. Bar tender/ waiter ( Kenny) was very professional and personable. Tim

Service has been questionable a few times and feel like you have to pull information out from the wait staff about their menu. Food is good, but nothing fancy.
