I love Indian Oven. I usually get their buffet to-go. It goes by weight, and I'm usually out $17. But, it comes with an epic naan and I am full and happy.

I have had Indian food at many places, this one is amazing. I went for lunch 09/30/2025 and it was indeed delicious. I don't know all the food at the buffet, but I'm learning and it all tasted familiar (and some tasted heavenly). I'm a big guy, one plate was enough for me along with a cup of mango lassi. The people are kind and friendly. That and the music playing in the back ground made the experience that much better. I will be going back and I'm glad I found them here on google.

Tastes good. Nothing to write home about but it gets the job done. Really small portions $20 for a half portion is really outrageous but it’s edible.

I've been visiting this establishment for more than a decade. There appears to be a recent change of management and a few noticeable changes.
Food: Always has been good. Tradional options including Tandoori Chicken, Tikki Chicken Marsala, Lamb Vindaloo, and several vegetarian options. Naan bread always served hot at the table. Mango Lassi. Beer and wine available. There are less options than before, however, a few things were MUCH better than before such as the Samosas - the dough was so flaky and incredible. Also the Aloo Gobi was also tastier.
Service: Family owned and operated.
Ambience: Tradional. It's been decluttered with changes. Previously it was loud inside with Indian music but tonight it was much quieter and more of a classical music vibe.
Pricing: Reasonable but increase in price with operational changes will reduce our trips but we'll be back. Years ago it was $15-$20 per person. Tonight it was $25. Plus with less food options, the price seems a bit too high if you aren't a big eater.
Overall: Still a solid option for a buffet, however, for the price we may come less often. The food has always been better than anticipated for a buffet. I may venture to some favorites in Tempe and Phoenix that we often decide aren't buffet style, more expensive and further away.

We visited this Indian Restaurant for the first time
It’s a nice place, with a dinner buffet. There are clearly marked portions of the buffet for Vegan options.
The food all tasted great, they had many Vegan options, but also some meat. They bring fresh made breads to the table as you eat.
There was chai tea & mango juice as well as some sweets. Friendly staff. They were open late 10pm

Updated review (2025): Used to love India Oven, but the standard has gone down in service and quality. I think management or ownership has changed. The place feels run-down, and the food is bland with poor presentation. Heartbreaking to see such a favorite decline. Naan thank you.
Original review (2019): India Oven is great representation of Indian food here in the valley! The mango lassi, tandoori chicken, naan bread, and the various curries are amazing! The food has been fresh each time we have visited. Buffet prices range from $10.99-$15.99, depending on if it's lunch, dinner, or the weekend. It is fair and appreciated during this time, when everything has gone up in price. But the best part is the people who work here. They are so kind and attentive! I look forward to the next time we eat here.
