I’m a chef that knows Indian food very well. The first time I came here, I thought it was just okay. It wasn’t bad at all, and would be a place to return to. Just not on the level to say it’s among the best I’ve had. Well, I don’t know who was cooking today, but it was without a doubt phenomenal.The flavors were great. The curry sauce itself was perfect as it was separated and oily so it was definitely how a curry should be. I just hope that the food tastes like this during every visit, not just when a talented person is cooking on a specific day.

Phenomenal food, beautiful decor, and great service. They also have a full bar which is always a plus. I tried the korma— on the server’s recommendation (SO GOOD!)— and garlic naan; you can choose your spice level & it is bursting with flavor even without the spice! I wish I hadn’t gotten so full so I’d have been able to try more! From out of town, but will make it a point to stop by again before I leave!

Wanted Indian food for lunch so I ordered by DoorDash. Was not happy with what I received. Wish I would have checked here first. Samosas were huge and overloaded with potatoes but also over cooked. Butter chicken was ok but I lost my appetite and did not finish. Threw most of it away.

I think they are very short staffed. Also the food did not taste as expected.

Food was delicious and service was great! I will be back to try more delicious food!

I have been coming for years and they have two of the best dishes in town. The roasted chicken and shrimp pilau.

This is by far the best Indian food in town! The owners Jay and Sasha are so welcoming! Sasha always dresses up the tables and creates wonderful designs for every holiday or occasion. Servers Sufi and Milan will take care of your desires for tasty food! Indian Oven has room for any group size whether you are bringing your date for the romantic dinner or having birthday party or any other occasion!

I have eaten Indian food all over the country from the SF Bay Area to Texas, Florida, and now Ohio. This is by far the best Indian food I have ever had in my entire life. I am also half Indian and this food rivals my mother’s cooking. The attention to detail here is amazing. The place is clean and the ingredients are fresh. This is so hard to find usually but Indian Oven makes it happen every-time. It’s a consistent standard of great food and service. Aside from the food the staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and happy to explain things I didn’t understand. I wish more Indian restaurants had such a high standard but that’s what sets this place apart!

I don't often leave restaurant reviews but I felt it was worth taking the time to share my experiences here. As someone that grew up not being the biggest fan of Indian food, Indian Oven has completely changed my mind. It's so good that I have been trying new menu items and have very much enjoyed every dish I have tried here. I would also like to compliment the staff. Great work. If you find yourself there when the restaurant is packed, trust me it's worth the wait!

Waiter took forever & messed up orders. Mixed up our orders. My food was to be mild & another person was to get spicy. Food orders came reversed. Food so spicy I couldn’t eat it. Not more than the initial bite. It’s a shame because the restaurant has great ambiance but the group of us will never be back.
