Very disappointed with our experience. We ordered biryani, but what we received was mushy and watery, nothing like authentic biryani we’ve had before.
The service made the experience even worse. The employee at the front was rude from the moment we walked in and made us feel unwelcome, like we didn’t deserve to be there. Because of her attitude, we decided to wait outside in the car until the food was ready instead of staying inside.
After about 15 minutes, we picked up the food and went home. As soon as we opened it, we noticed the texture and quality were off. Unfortunately, after eating it, my daughter became very sick that night with severe diarrhea and almost became dehydrated. It was honestly a scary experience as a parent.
We will not be returning.

Let me preface this by saying I was already having a irritating day, and this was supposed to be my comfort food. I ordered chicken Tika masala, and clearly they held back on the CHICKEN because what is this???? I’ve never had some small pieces of chicken and such a underwhelming amount! This is my second time coming here in two years.. it’s been so long because this place isn’t the best I’ve ever had or even near it.. so this will likely be my last which sucks because it’s the only Indian restaurant in the area. The flavor is very mid, but at minimum I was expecting chicken in my CHICKEN dish! Ugh!
If you're craving Indian food, India Oven is absolutely worth a visit! The curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Every bite tasted fresh and authentic. And the naan? Easily some of the best I've had—soft, warm, buttery, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of that amazing curry.
The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food left us already planning our next visit. If you're looking for comfort food packed with flavor, India Oven is a must-try!
I get a lot of the chicken dishes to go and eat at home. The food is very good, but the amount of chicken they put in the dishes if very lacking. I get extra chicken to add to the dishes because it seems like the containers are mostly just the sauce with just a few pieces of chicken in it. If the would actually add more chicken I would give the 5 stars.

This used to be one of our favorite places but I don’t know if it’s not family owned anymore or what’s going on but the woman who takes the orders speaks incredible English but has argued with me several times when I request mild for our orders, saying everything is made as mild as possible, when it’s hotter than anything. I’m very disappointed, and looking for a new place.

Quantity of the food is too Less! Especially chicken biryani’s, chicken pakoda’s, non veg curry.. I don’t recommend this for any one looking for good quantity of food for family. Food price is bit high!

Love this little local place, we have been here multiple times and it has never disappointed us. The prices are a little high, but what you get in consistency and quality is well worth it.
Always hot, fresh, and absolutely flavorful and delicious. You can tell the restaurant is locally owned when you walk in; it smells great, and feels like a hidden gem you'd find across the river. Everyone who greets here you is super friendly and pleasant.
You really can't go wrong here. Expect to pay a bit, but it's worth every discontinued penny.

I think this place is under new management because the prices have gone way up (30-60%) and the food quality way down (smaller portions and charging for things that used to be free, like rice) The service wasn't very good. They now charge for every plate of rice, but only give half of what they used too. Papadums were smaller and triple the price. Same with the naan bread. We spent $80 for two people, and the lady who owns the place verbally embarrassed us for not leaving her a tip. Never again.

Everything tasted great, however if you get anything with chicken, anticipate about half of a cubed chicken breast. Barely any meat in the korma or tikka masala.

I had a hankering for some Indian cuisine, so I pulled out my handy cellular telephone, opened Google maps and searched for nearby Indian restaurants. I decided upon India's Oven Cuisine.
The restaurant opened at 4pm. I arrived at 4pm and the doors were locked. We has to wait 5 minutes for the doors to open. The guy who opened the restaurant was not too friendly or conversational. We theorized that he was the owner and that the waiter had called I'm sick. That was just a guess. It too a while to order drinks, and took a while to order our food. We ordered appetizers and main courses. The restaurant eventually filled with patrons. Listening to their conversations they also had to wait a while to order food, beverages, and to receive their ordered said items.
When the food arrived it was visually appealing and the aroma was pleasant. The food was incredibly delicious. We had cheese Naan and garlic Naan, chicken Tikka marsala, goat curry, and a chicken appetizer. The white rice served with the dishes was also delicious.
There was no background music. The tables were very clean, white table cloths, topped with white butcher paper, and maroon cloth napkins. The decorations were traditional.
All in all I recommend this restaurant because the food tasted delicious despite the service issues. If you try it plan on waiting a while for your food and drinks.
There is plenty of parking. And the restaurant features lots of vegetarian options.
