The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Over the last several years, the Oven Restaurants has expanded to two other locations and added space to the lower level of the Haymarket location. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere and relaxed vibe of the Cellar, the beautiful sunsets and outdoor patio of the Oven East, or you’re in Omaha for the night to try Himalayas, there are many ways to sample the cuisine of India!

Great meal. We ordered two types of hot tea, hot rock beef, fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, 5 different sushi rolls, and fried ice cream. Everything was great. The waitress was amazing. She left us alone to chat and then would magically appear as soon as we needed something. She refilled both of our tea pots like 4 times. It was 15° outside so it tasted good to drink something hot. Some calamari can be really chewy, but this one was really tender and delicious. The rainbow roll, iguana, and crunchy red rolls were our favorites.

Great wine service. Our waitress even asked if we wanted her to open the bottle while we were drinking our cocktails so the wine could breathe. My husband at the Delmonico steak and was still raving about it two days later. It was huge and delicious.

Another incredible dining experience at Dish! We celebrated my husband's birthday with family and shared a few starters - our favorites were the mussels + chorizo, duck fat potatoes, and beets + apples. Our server was great, explaining different dishes and cocktail options. I thoroughly enjoyed the tofu entree, which included delicata squash and red curry. I love the details that go into setting Dish apart from other spots in Lincoln!
