The Oven

I know same picture, different angles BUT it was so good @theoven_ne I love Indian flavors and the Thali didn't disappoint. We shared the portion with 2 people and it was a perfect amount of food. We did get the garlic naan too because it is garlic naan!! Flavors were great. The favorites were the Rogan Josh, the curries and maah dal. I would eat all of it again and again.

Solid Indian food for lunch. We stopped by here after we realized a nearby restaurant was closed for lunch, and it was a good place to sit and enjoy some warm paneer and garlic naan. It's a nice lunch spot in Lincoln, next time I might try it for dinner.

The Oven! -Chicken Tikka Korma(Boneless pieces of chicken tikka simmered in a creamy curry and tomato sauce.)-Garlic Naan (Naan seasoned with garlic.)-Mulligatawny Soup(A traditional Indian soup of pureed lentils flavored with spices and garnished with rice and fresh cilantro.)I prefer eating in person, but I was dying to try The Oven and ordered takeout (sorry for the low-quality photo). The food was beyond AMAZING. The sauce for the Chicken Tikka Korma was delicious, and the naan was good. I am not sure what the greenish-white sauce was, but I dipped the naan in it, and it was such a unique, flavorful sauce; I loved it! The soup was pretty good, but my favorite was the main dish! The food was ready in 10 minutes, which was super fast! The employees were super sweet and wanted to make sure I loved it, which I thought was so sweet! The inside looked super nice, and I cannot wait to eat in person! 10/10 for sure

Grabbed dinner at the Oven during my stay in Lincoln. We didn't have a reservation, but got there around 5:00 and got a spot on the patio with no problems. However, it was PACKED when we left. We shared the thali, with extra naan and it was perfect! We got to try many dishes and the right amount of food for two. If you aren't sure what you like, it is a great way to try new things, without committing to an entire dish of something. Our service was VERY slow, especially after it got busy.

Has apparently been...8?? years. Maybe so. Lunch here today for updates. Having a variety of curry options. Veg/Chicken. Spinach naan bread. Some of my favorites. Haymarket area not as busy today. Naan is wonderful. A side cup of celery-like dip. Very good also. And all was really good and we want to get back again.

I would have never thought I would get decent Indian Food in Lincoln NE but I did. Visited the oven during the week and it was surprisingly busy sat at the bar and looked at the menu. The bar tender was prompt and helpful. Having eaten a lot of Indian food I knew my way around the menu. Started with the meat samosa's, then mulligatawny soup and lamb vindaloo. All tasty and appreciated not being asked how hot I wanted the vindaloo, vindaloo is supposed to be hot. The only knocks would be the raw onion it should have been sliced not in chunks and the lamb was a bit dry and not stewed in the vindaloo sauce.All in all not bad and would go back when in the area.

I was really looking towards this Indian place. I do not know how this is the #1 restaurant in Lincoln. Not good at all. Naan had zero flavor. Soup was very bland. Chicken Tikki Korma was way overly tomato sauce. No deep Indian flavor. Definitely will not be back at all.

All of the above still holds true. The Oven is perhaps the best Indian food I've ever had and by far one of the best places of all food types to eat at in Lincoln. Quality of the food and service has not diminished and I come here often. It's more upscale and fancy for a date-night atmosphere. They have kept prices relatively stable throughout a pandemic and give you tons of food. Solid choices to get include chicken tikka madras, chicken bhuna, mahkani or lamb vindaloo if you can handle the heat. I enjoy jalfrezie every few years because it is different but not a curry, more of an Indian stir fry. All of the breads as an appetizer before your meal are just so good. Favorites include chicken tikka, paneer, spinach and stuffed paratha. They also have a special one not on the menu we have asked for with a spicy ground beef. As always, never get salad. The mulligatawny soup is a masterpiece and complement to any meal.

The friendliest staff and the spinach dip is to die for. The ambiance was lovely and pricing is more than fair for quality.

A friend took me to a birthday lunch yesterday at The Oven's south location. We were both disappointed in our meal and have never experienced that at The Oven before! Our favorite Mulligatawny soup was "off," tasting more like a flour gravy than the usual delicious soup that we're used to. We both ordered a lamb dish; the lamb was so tough! And to top it off, our plates were cold when they were delivered to our table. Our server was good, efficient and friendly. She took the plates back to warm them in the kitchen for us.I hope this was just an off day in the kitchen because I don't know that I care to go back to the south location again. I felt especially bad for my friend who was treating me to this expensive lunch. We both expected better.Our families have been customers of The Oven for many, many years and refer to it as our favorite restaurant in Lincoln. This was the first disappointing meal we have experienced there. We hope the downtown location, our usual choice, will continue to provide excellent meals as we have come to expect.
