   Hadn't been here in soooo many years-decades even. It did not disappoint. Food was just as excellent as I remembered and the naan is chewy and amazing. I will not wait so long to return!

   This was an amazing dining experience. We love Indian food, and although we are not versed in “authentic” versus what we’ve experienced in the United States, at the very least these are good quality dishes. The service was impeccable as well. The dining area was super elegant with traditional Indian artwork on the walls, fresh roses on the tables, and a view of the chef preparing food. Thank you!

   We were the only diners at lunch. But food quality service were great. The papadum & Nan were terrific. Tandoori chicken was a very generous serving leaving ample to take home!

   Finally, Indian cooking that doesn't load everything up with hot peppter to make up for lack of cooking expertise. They manage to spice things delicately to bring out the true flavors of the sauces and foods. I suppose if you want it really hot, they'll do it. Nice place to eat well - prices are quite moderate - also a dying art - and have a conversation. What a concept! Highly recommended.

   Love this place everything is fantastic. Such amazing food for a great value. Only thing that could enhance the experience is if the owners cared as much about the rest room as the food.

   For 21 years my family and I have enjoyed and loved dinning at Indian Oven. It was really one of the best Indian Restaurants. Last Thursday had a work meeting and dined at Indian Oven and the food is frankly a major disappointment. In our Saag Paneer there was paper the size of a business card, the lamb and sea bass was clearly old and not fresh. The restaurant was empty but for us. Feel badly that the new owners look to be doing so poorly, but the food was barely edible. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I have ever had. Wish the best for the owner to turn things around as it is very much needed

    Came on Covid Sunday, we were the only ones there! Great food & fine service. Ordered extra so could have yummy Indian dinner on Monday night too...it was even better cold! I used to come there 1996-1999 when lived nearby in Noe Valley, my first time back 3/20 !!! They excel at really good basic Indian...no weird fancy DOSA or bizarre Amber. Keep coming back, it works !
