• Indian • Lincoln
Booked 19 times today
The first Oven Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, has been around since 1988 and owned/operated by a dedicated family of chefs who have been creating Indian cuisine for over twenty seven years. 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. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere to the relaxed vibe of the Cellar, we have what you want!

    Reservation was made easily. Ambiance was good, especially the beautiful lit up tree in the center of the dining area. The noise level was not noticeable at all. Customer service was good. The food was excellent. My only disappointment was that nothing special is done to acknowledge one’s birthday on the part of the Restaurant. Overall the experience was an enjoyable one. I recommend this Restaurant for fine dining. Thank you.

    Made reservation through Open Table for a family dinner. Service was very good. Food was good. Only hiccup was server failed to ring in the 3 course special pricing and charged each part individually. Once brought to his attention, it was corrected. Good experience.

    At any restaurant and for any meal, the waitperson sets the stage for the experience. Our’s was a five star player! She was there, but not annoyingly so. Her discussion of the menu’s choices were thorough and well informed. She set the stage for an enjoyable meal that included great food complemented by outstanding service.
