India Oven - Buffet; Papadum Chicken, tikka masala Dal Makhni Potatoes and Naan - Indian Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Easy parking. Excellent customer service. I recommend getting spice level higher than you normally would

Delicious food. Some of the best naan I've ever had. Tons of vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

Delicious Indian food was had on my trip to BG. I ordered what everyone orders- chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The naan was 5 stars, the chicken tikka was 4 stars. It seemed thicker and richer than others I've tried, but as a result, the leftovers didn't reheat as well. I wish there were a 4.5 star rating option! read more

The food is incredible! So many vegan and vegetarian options. I would eat here every day if I lived closer.

This is the best Indian food I've had in years! Friday night at 6 they were busy but it was easy to get a table for four. We decided to share family style. We had vegetable pakora, garlic naan, raita, butter chicken, chicken saag, lamb coconuts, and Chana masala. All were perfectly medium heat. There was so much food, it barely fit on the table. Took enough home for another meal. What a fantastic dinner! Of course, I thought about pictures about the time we finished eating. Trust me, it was beautiful. read more

Service was efficient, perhaps a bit terse at times but I'm willing to let that slide, as closing time was approaching. Ambiance was about as expected. I thought the complimentary appetizer, Indian crisps with 2 chutneys, was lovely. My Panir Masala was colorful, complex and wonderfully spiced; the medium (choices are mild, medium, hot, and Indian hot) heat level was plenty for me. The garlic naan was great - bubbly, chewy and liberally seasoned. read more

Coming from Northern California where there's a plethora of great Indian restaurants, I was so glad to find an Indian place that can compare. Everything we tried here was delish. The chicken korma and butter chicken is great. The curries are also very good! The waitstaff is fine. I highly recommend this place! read more

I love this place, been going for years, but the food is often hit or miss. I used to stick with the jungle kebab but recently it's been a lot worse. Chicken saag, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala are all classics. I wish they would shorten their list of over a hundred!! entrees to a few really good ones. I like trying new things but the chance of finding something new that I like is pretty low. If you stick with those entrees, india oven will not disappoint, if you venture into the depths of the menu (who gets the rice dishes anyways?) it might get a lot scarier. Also the owner is cool. read more

The garlic naan is amazing and is a must have with the lamb Marsala. Clean with great service too.

No one ever accused Yelp ratings of being an exact science, but this one I flat out just didn't believe. I figured the only way you'd get a top-rated Indian restaurant in Bowling Green is that people just didn't know what they were rating. But I eat a lot of Indian food in a lot of places (180 restaurants, according to Yelp, plus my own culinary experiments) and the food I got here was top notch. There's some nice South Indian restaurants in the greater Louisville area, but nothing this good in Lexington. For North Indian, this may be the best in the entire state. What's so good? You get a complimentary papadum (a lentil-based cracker) with accompaniments on the house. The menu is broad and intriguing and has more than the standard vegetarian options. And they have an efficient service operation that wheeled out some fresh-tasting cuisine. People were lining up for takeout here, but they're really missing out on the freshness. A proper aloo tikki that's just been fried clashes with its cool coverings wonderfully. Theirs had some nice green herbs on top as well. My bhindi masala had a nice spice blend without being overwhelming, and my onion kulcha was perfectly soft and fluffy. I'll get two meals out of all of it easily. Even on an early week night with lousy weather when I was surprised they were open (my first choice restaurant wasn't), they had a stack of takeout orders ready by 5:10 and were about half full by the time I left. The building is nothing fancy, but the people carry good cheer, and they know what they're doing. read more

Tastes like your average Indian food. Flavors are mostly normal, not an explosion of flabors. Still a passable representation. Pretty great service though. Very accommodating if you are in a hurry. Inside is fine, feels like an late 90s or early 2000s take on "fancy for cheap", but better than the industrial empty so many places have these days. read more

We love Indian Food and are always excited to try new places. While traveling through Bowling Green we came across this place. The Chicken Curry was amazing. A I thought the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was excellent. We stopped here when driving through on a road trip. Great service and fantastic food! Everything was amazing!! The people were super friendly and answered all my questions!! We had the #7 appetizer, garlic naan, coconut chicken, and chicken tikka masala! I can't say enough about how amazing everything was!! read more

While visiting Bowling Green KY, my hubby and I wanted Indian food and we were extremely happy we found Indian oven! I ordered the butter chicken! Hands down, this was the best butter chicken I've ever tasted! The sauce was sooo creamy and flavorful! Service was good! If I'm ever back in BG, I'll definitely come back! Ambiance: Family oriented and inviting read more

WOW!!! Got my Lamb on tonight! Started with Lamb Samosa! Very tasty, lots of minced lamb and a wonderful dipping sauce! Dinner was Lamb Tikka Masala! Very flavorful, the lamb was incredibly tender, and just a hint of heat! Best lamb I have ever had. The basmati rice was light & fluffy! We also had garlic naan! So good! Wish we had ordered the cheese naan also! For desert we split the Kulfi (pistachio ice cream, mango was another option) and the Gulab Maljun ( light pastry balls dipped in cinnamon flavored syrup). Both had interesting textures. The Kulfi was hard, but creamy, and a little bland. The Gulab Maljun was very sweet, but drenched n syrup! The staff was attentive and friendly! My wife loved the Indian tea and the house diet coke was spot on! Definitely a spot to try if in the area! read more

One employee was super friendly but the others, not so much unfortunately. Environment ok. Menu typical for Indian. Food was good but one member of our party became quite ill later that night with probable food poisoning so can't recommend. read more

One of our go to places when in town from Alabama.Large portions so I recommend splitting a dish first time for a couple.Delicious,large portions,and service was great and consistent.Also tried a imported Indian beer.It was wonderful as well.So it was delicious food,cold beer,and great service.All at a great price for a working man ,and this is Your Working Man's Review. read more

Very good service. Fast and clean restaurant Menu lots of choices Might be testy for a first time indian food person It be nice if they had a cheaper lunch menu Bread very good read more

Of all the meals I've had out in my life, this one ranks 3rd and if you take in account that with this one, I got to take home leftovers, it might move it up some more. 1. Muscles and clams in Amalfi 2. Oaxacan food in Santa Barbara 3. Indian at Indian Oven in Bowling Greeen, KY I would never have thought it to be true and something this good, was waiting in Bowling Green. The service was friendly and moderate paced. No need to rush good food. We were served a type of cracker like bread and condiments to start. I know one is cilantro and mint and the other is a spiced pepper. Then came our food. We chose a classic, Chicken Tikka Marsala and Butter Chicken. We added garlic Naan and an onion bread, oh and yogurt sauce. We chose medium heat and that was spicy enough for us. If you cannot do much spice, stick to mild. Everything was so delicious. You have to try it. read more

Absolutely love, the butter chicken and garlic naan. Called my order in it was quickly prepared and ready to pick up no problems.

You might ask, What's the point of yet another 5-star review; that's all they've got. After eating here they just deserve it, and I have to add my voice. Best vegetable pakoras I have ever had, and I've had many. Crispier, lighter, with more veggies. Truly redefined my understanding of the dish. Lamb saag and lamb curry were also great. I really doubt you can go wrong here. Atmosphere is brightly lit and a bit spartan. Service was good. We didn't have breads other than the very pappadum, brought with the menus. Lastly it was very fast, AND very reasonably priced. Dinner for 2, shared app + 2 mains, a drink and a beer, was $57 before tip. read more

This is some of the best food that I have ever had!! The Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken are all amazing!!! Garlic Butter Naan was great!! The Lamb here is also amazing! I highly highly recommend India Oven! I am not from the area but when near I make the drive here because the food is so good. The Chicken and Lamb dishes here you must try! read more

I think I reviewed this spot before and maybe left a higher rating. First, let me say that the food is excellent. Spice level was just as I ordered it. I was a bit confused when the Samosas Chat I ordered looked different than I envisioned. But I just couldn't see the Samosas due to the topping. It was an excellent dish. I ordered two appetizers and dessert this visit. In addition to Samosas Chat, I ordered the Tandori Sampler. Flavoring was excellent but a piece or two or the chicken was a little underdone and it only included one piece of shrimp. I did order Naan Bread which was good. And gulab Jamon for dessert. I would have likely rated the visit as a five but service was a little off. I'm still not sure who my waiter/waitress was as different people kept coming by. It felt a bit like I was being avoided. I will likely order from them again but I will probably just order take out. read more

This was our first time trying Indian cuisine and it didn't disappoint. Everything we had was great. Our favorite was the Chicken Vindaloo. The bread sampler was amazing as well. read more

ass, rice is uncooked, taste like my last meal. Never try the biryani

Man oh man. Where do I start. I guess I'll start with the service. A1, down to earth amazing service. Very very kind staff. The menu was straightforward and it wasn't hard to pick what I wanted. The Chicken Tikka was out of this world. Smokey, tender, flavorful chicken. Masala sauce adds a nice touch to the rice. Couldn't have asked for better. This place always hits the spot. You'd be a fool to not try it out! read more

India Oven - Chicken Tikka with Masala Sauce and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants anywhere. The service is phenomenal and the food is so fresh and tasty. It is so easy to drive by and miss it. It's in this strip mall next to a check cashing/payday lending store. You're seriously wondering if you picked the right place to eat as you pull up in the parking lot. But as soon as you go in you are immediately greeted and seated and you know...you just know it's gonna be great. My kids shared the chicken tikka masala (mild), I had the chicken karahi (hot), and my wife went with the lamb rogan josh (medium). I recommend every single one of them. The flavor is incredible, the heat levels are spot on, and the meal is cooked to perfection on every one of these dishes. In my opinion, the heat levels are exactly the way they describe them. Mild is mild, not bland, but a mild bit of spice. Hot is hot. Not on the floor crying hot, but you're gonna feel the spice. I really wish every restaurant worked like this. Have incredible, unique menu choices with fresh ingredients. Spice it up to the level the customer prefers. Give the customer excellent service. Isn't that what we all want when we dine out? read more

India Oven - Chicken karahi (hot) - Indian Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Shockingly good Indian food in...wait, Kentucky? What? Yep. I was very skeptical of all the rave reviews. It's like seeing a five-star two-hundred review French joint in Siberia. Ethnic restaurants around here notoriously pull punches to pander to the bland, deep-fried tastes of McAmerica. But not India Oven. If they say it's spicy, it's spicy. The sauces are rich, not "tomato soupy" but full of discernible vegetables, herbs and generous spices, served as they should be in simmering dishes, family style. The kofta is perfect in texture, in a subtly sweet sauce. The lamb curry, ordered "India Hot" was beautifully flavored and not overcooked...even the chicken breast in the Jungle Kabob was still succulent, almost unheard-of from a tandoor. They take care of their proteins, which warms my little sous cheffy heart almost as much as the curry! Just delicious! So why the missing star? The dining room was disastrously dirty, piles of dishes on nearly every table, and the staff seemed overwhelmed to the point of having no time left for their customers. Probably not their fault; this place was crazy busy...and I'll tell you one thing: with flavors like this in an otherwise pretty tasteless place, I'll certainly be back to let them try for a full five stars (like that means anything, really). Highly recommended! read more

Great food. Really enjoyed the offerings and the garlic nan is awesome I keep going back for great India food. They will ensure the spice is how you like it. read more

So I five of us went for lunch and shared our dishes family style. We were short on time. They were very efficient and got us in and out on time. The food was good except for three issues and they came as curly hairs in one of the dishes. I had read the reviews before we went and saw that someone else had this issue a while back. Evidently someone is not wearing a hair net and shedding badly. read more

Great food and good portions. Their naan is amazing - especially the garlic naan. They have a whole vegetarian section! I got the vegetable masala and it was great! Nice service too. read more

I will say that this is the only Indian food I've ever had so I can't compare it to anything else. I was skeptical at first, but it definitely surprised me. Give this place a try, it is good! read more

Like the other reviews said, the food and service is absolutely incredible. We got the samosa chat, which was perfectly seasoned and had the right amount of cilantro. We also had the garlic naan which was both crispy and fluffy at the same time. Both the chicken tika masala and the chicken coconut curry were spiced beautifully and were very creamy. Beyond all of this the service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, kept our water filled, and was excited to chat about the food. One of the best restaurants I've been too. read more
