This restaurant is usually delicious- 4-5 stars. We've been regulars for years. Unfortunately our recent delivery featured bland, unsalted, unspiced food (we asked for medium spicing). Please get your old chef back!

If only this place had consistency with their dishes, they'd have 5 stars from me. I get the chicken korma (I order spicy). Sometimes it's hardly spicy at all and sometimes it's so spicy it's almost inedible. Sometimes the color of the dish is pale and tastes bland, other times it's a deep red-orange full of flavor. Sometimes the consistency is watery and other times thick. I never know if I'll be disappointed or not until I get my order. I've never dined inside, but I have picked up my order and it seems like a nice place to have dinner. Looks clean, low lighting, and the service has always been very friendly.

I like the Chicken T Masala plate. Me and my crew stopped here for food not long ago, and we had several different servings of the Chicken Masala, which is delicious. They also have spicy choices on the menu too of the plates you order. Nice cosy spot in the CBD. Nice people that work here in a busy area. I will come back again.

Shams India Oven is the place we go to for offsite team dinners. All the food is taste and not just super spicy. Service is excellent and we go there 2 or 3 times a Quarter.

You must come here. One of my new favorite restaurants. Everything was full of flavor but not overpowering. All of the food was fresh, even the gulab jamun (dessert donut ball in syrup) was still very warm. The service was wonderful and the inside of the restaurant is very nice. Try the combo plate and the indian beer!!

Excellent food and great service. I found finding the entrance to this place a bit difficult to find. It's not so intuitive. Will definitely visit again.Parking: Parking could be tight during lunch times.

Had a absolutely delicious lunch today at Indias Oven. I've had Indian food in many cities all over the country and today's lunch was just perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to have a wonderful meal with excellent service as well. Will be back soon for sure! There is a lovely ambience to eat in the restaurant at a table or booth.
Great spot to eat, so glad we found this place. Food is top notch, great staff. Enjoy a great meal while looking down on life on Wilshire Blvd.

spiciest lamb chops - so spice we threw them away. yes, we asked for the mildest version. and i called ahead to make sure it was mild with no preservatives. i was assured mild was available and no preservatives in the marinade (i'm allergic. ) very underwhelmed.

Had to park on street and walk. Gobi Manchurian was good. They did a cute birthday singing for my moms birthday

Will edit review and add pictures the next time we go, but this is the best Indian food we have ever had. We usually get the lentil dal makhani and the paneer tikka masala and a rice dish. All very delicious.
