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.

The restaurant all others want to be!

I have to agree with bobhackett when he called this the best Indian restaurant he's ever eaten in. I've eaten Indian food in India that wasn't this good! From the appetizers to any of the entrees you really can't miss. My favorite is the Bhuni Chicken, which I get with extra garlic and extra hot. My second favorite is the Goa Shrimp. The sauce is incredible, and there is enough shrimp even for me, and I'm an extra large guy! If it isn't hot enough, the server will bring you some Garam Masala seasoning so you can make it as hot as you like. The naan and other breads are crispy with just enough char to make them really tasty. There is a huge amount of choices for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The atmosphere is nice and soothing, low lighting with appealing art work with some really interesting Indian fusion music playing in the background. I have never had a server that was unpleasant or lazy which in Lincoln is a miracle. I would eat here every day if I could, and never tire of it. If you can't think of where to go, go to the Oven, and have something different. You won't regret it!
