    When it comes to picking out dinner, there is one thing my husband and I can agree on...indian food! Mmm, naan naan naan. I've heard The Oven (the downtown location) is expensive and the service rude and since we already liked two other indian restaurants, I never made it a point to go here. But, they now have this location and it's much closer than any of the other places so we thought we'd give it a shot. We went late (8 p.m.) on a Friday. There were very few people there, which my husband really prefers. The decor was classy, we were seated quickly, and from the maitre de to the waiter, the service was fantastic! My husband ordered the tandoori chicken, his usual. And I had a mixed tandoori entree. We both had the soup, which is spicier than I expected but equally delicious, and of course, naan with mint chutney. It came out scorching hot and melted in our mouths. I love this stuff! It lacked seasoning, and I've had some that is, at the very least, salted, but it was still delicious. Our meals came quickly and the food was great. We will get the tandoori chicken again. I think it was a little bit dry and well (almost too much so) seasoned, but it was very satisfactory and we will be back. Prices were also comparable to other locations around town.

    I have never had a bad experience here! The food is always fantastic and the service is great. I prefer this one over the one in the Haymarket because it's less crowded and parking is a breeze. Prices are very reasonable. 2 entrees and 2 types of Naan can easily be done for $35 which makes it a treat we can have more often. I loved trying the sampler which had lots of different types of veggie curries. Great place and great for date night. Highly recommend the chicken tikka korma, soup and spinach Naan.

    Would love to be able to comment on the food, but we drove all the way here to find the restaurant closed an hour before the posted closing time on a Sunday. No explanation, no sign--just closed. Very disappointing. Won't be returning.

    The food was excellent. Loved the naan and the mint chutney. Unfortunately, the service was very slow. Go for the food and if you don't mind spending a looooooong time waiting for a server.

    I docked a star because my server had trouble understanding what we were ordering, however, the food was delish! We ordered a few different appetizers and the lentil soup was great. Plenty left to bring home for lunch the next day!!!

    Excellent food and quick service. We had exactly one hour for a date while our son slept his early evening nap in this infant carrier. Just finished when he woke up. I recommend the LAMB TIKKA MADRAS.

    This is, hands down, my favorite restaurant in Lincoln, NE. There are 2 locations, I prefer the atmosphere and neighborhood location of the Haymarket one better than the one on Pioneers Blvd. Everything I have tried has been spot-on amazing. My personal favorite is the Lamb Korma. I am not even a lamb fan, but it is just so good. The jasmine rice is good enough to eat on its own. The Naan and other breads are good. The Mulligatawny Soup is the best Mulligatawny I have ever had. SO good. I have tried Indian food all over - Arizona, Washington, Utah, Oklahoma, even Eastern Europe - but this is by far my favorite Indian place.

    The Oven in south Lincoln continues the tradition of great Indian food found in their Omaha and Haymarket locations. The resturant is smaller but very open and more up-scale than the Haymarket in my opinion and I love their out-door seating when the weather is nice in Nebraska. I love their breads and Mullitgauny soup (sorry about my spelling) and their Nan and Papado breads are excellent...but sometimes the Papado isn't as fresh as others. The soup is spicy. My first choice of a dish is the Chicken Tika Korma (it is a little spicy) and the second is the Chicken Mogali --- Please given them a try. The food is consistent. Service can vary. Also, they take the Passport card that allows you to get a free entre.

    My husband and I decided to give The Oven a try last night after a Husker game. We didn't get there until late (they are open until 10:30 pm) and were greeted and sat at our table promptly. The ambience is beautiful and classy and the restaurant was very quiet even though there were two other parties of couples having drinks and talking. Several of the employees were sitting at the bar having a glass of wine and our waitress seemed like she would rather be sitting with them than waiting on us. We attempted to order the mixed appetizer but were told the fryer was already turned off. We were very disappointed as it had been a long day and we were extremely hungry. My husband ordered the lamb tikka madras and I the Chicken jalfrazie. We ordered some garlic naan to go along with our soup that came with dinner. I'm not sure what the soup way, seemed to be some sort of creamed type soup but it was served with a dollup of rice in the middle and a lemon garnish. Adding the lemon juice made it phenominal and the garlic naan was the perfect amount of crispness and the mint chutney was absolutely amazing. Our dinner arrived quickly and was served with plenty of rice. My husbands dish only had five or six pieces of lamb but was very flavorful. My dish had large pieces of green and red peppers, tomatoes, and onions and several pieces of chicken. Both were very mild on spice level as we are used to being able to pick our level of heat with the indian restaurants we frequent. My dish was large in portions, but I had to share with my husband because his wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger. The food was great, we will definitely give it another try to see if we have a waitress that seems less pre-occupied and hopefully be able to try the appetizers as well.

    Americanized Indian Flavor - therefore the food was bland. Where did the spice in the Indian Food go? I use to love The Oven, now it has moved down on my list of places to eat in Lincoln. Ordered the following: + Rose Lassi - to me, it tasted like "rose water" instead of "rose lassi" + chicken tikka korma and it was suppose to be spicy. It was more of a tomato paste then what korma is suppose to taste like. + chicken bhutan - and it too lacked the authentic taste; too much coconut milk + Roti and Naan - Roti was good and Onion Naan good + fried shrimp appetizer, was overcooked and burnt I have lived in India and eaten Indian food in bigger cities - so I am familiar with the Indian Flavor. The service was good - nothing spectacular - the atmosphere was busy - the wait was 30-45 mins however, not worth it for me. So if you are looking for Americanized Indian - this is the place for you. Something more authentic, look elsewhere. Plenty of parking and no devices if you have to wait. There is a waiting area that would seat 7 total as well as a full bar.

    I was greeted and seated promptly. I waited a long time for a server. From where I was seated I could see a server using their cell phone. The soup was hot and well seasoned. The papadum and nan and samosas were some of the best I've ever eaten. The chicken tikka masala tasted like tandori chicken in tomato sauce. My server came back 20 minutes after serving the food to see if I liked it. A little late! I'd try it again!

    This restaurant is really good! I am gluten-free and vegan and try to make sure that before I say a restaurant is good, I have found several dishes that I can eat and that they are indeed without compromise. And truly, this food is delicious. The mulligatawny soup, aloo gobi, bengan bearta, aloo chole, and bombay dal are my favorites. Try them!

    When it comes to Indian food, the Oven nails it! One of my favorite restaurants in Lincoln! Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! The chicken tikki korma & the chicken tikki kadai are amazing! They also have several different types of naan to choose from, and their curry soup is awesome!

    Wait, there is a silver lining. Yikes! What the heck happened to the Oven? It used to be the standard for Indian cuisine. The chicken tikka masala was awful. The chicken was tough and had a weird, rancid flavor. The sauce was watery, the consistency of soup. The lamb madras was tough and barely braised and also had a funky taste. And the soup tasted old and as if it was never salted and had a unpleasant gray-yellow color. This comes as a shock since the food has until now had consistent quality. This was takeout. I called and they properly offered me a refund. So, there was a silver lining. I will be reluctant to order takeout soon. I will treat this as anomaly since I have dined at both locations for 20 years. However, no restaurant is entitled to a positive review for past meals and service and patrons should expect at least consistency and at best improvement.

    I wouldn't give even a single star for this restaurant as food was really terrible. Garlic powder on naan is just the worst thing I ever tasted in my life. Canned tomato puree on all curries and terribly tasting soggy appetisers. Nothing seems to be freshly made in this restaurant . I wouldn't suggest this place for authentic Indian food.
