• Indian • Lincoln

Booked 28 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!

Well cooked, and interesting dishes. We ordered the duck, and the waitress asked us if we wanted it medium rare, as it should be. When we ordered duck at Dish they didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked, and it came out very overcooked. The tiramisu was among the best I’ve ever had.

Food was amazing, exceptional service with very helpful recommendations and suggestions. Very quiet to enjoy a good conversation. Crab cakes were delicious, lobster bisque and French onion soup were a hit.
