    Pretty mango lassi.
    Jeremy L.

    Very satisfying. Had a big lunch and ordered a lot of food so we could try different things and have some to take home. Food was served quickly and was very fresh. Highly recommended.

    Jungle kebab

    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.

    Appetizer
    Bob V.

    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.

    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.

    Aloo Tikki Chaat

    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.

    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!!

    Mint Chutney

    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.

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

    Aroma Indian Cuisine - Lamb Biryani

    Aroma Indian Cuisine

    4.8(23 reviews)

    I have a new favorite restaurant in Clarksville…read more "Aroma" is an appropriate name because you smell sweet curry spices before you open the door to go into the restaurant. The restaurant is calm and quiet on the inside with well dressed tables. The lunch buffet is setup along one wall with wonderful foods to try. After you fix your first plate, fresh cooked naan arrives on your table. The buffet choices focused on various chicken dishes and vegetarian options. There was also a good selection of sauces and chutney. Spice level was mostly low to medium. This restaurant is really a treat for your tastebuds.

    Although there are a few areas where I hope for improvement, Aroma has been open for a very short…read moretime. (Frankly, I'm being a bit generous, with rounding up an extra half star, because they are so newly opened.) Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed our meal (actually, "meals", given that we had two additional meals of leftovers). Also, the staff person with whom I dealt was super friendly. I am really happy that this is the closest restaurant to my home! I am including photos of pretty much everything we ordered. Clearly, as you can see from the photos, this was a To-Go order. We didn't actually order the rice, but it appears to have come with our entrées. And I did not take pictures of the sauces that typically come with some Indian dishes. Starting with the appetizers, we had Meat Samosa and Samosa Chaat. We loved the Samosa Chaat. Very flavorful, quite good textures. And even a couple days later, the leftovers were really tasty. The Meat Samosa could use a bit more work. I thought that most of the pastry was really good; good flavor to it, and most well cooked and flaky. But some of the pastry was a bit undercooked and I thought that the filling could benefit from something to help it hold together a bit better, rather than being crumbly, falling back onto the plate, and needing to be corralled with a spoon. That said, I really liked the flavor. But I would lean more towards ordering the Samosa Chaat, based on this one experience. On to the mains. The Tandoori Chicken may be the best we have ever had, anywhere. (Note: I have tried the dish in well over a dozen restaurants from coast to cost in North America.) Great flavor. Well cooked. And, importantly, still moist. So many versions are disappointingly overcooked and dried out. We will definitely be ordering this on a regular basis. The Chicken Cashmere had a delicious sauce; a really flavorful dish. I would recommend that the chicken be cooked slightly less, to help keep it tender and juicy. We were torn between ordering the Cashmere and the Korma (which we have had elsewhere), and will likely be trying the Chicken Korma next time. And, then, additionally: The Papadums were nicely cooked and are among our favorites, though there is nothing particularly special or different about these. The Paratha, one of our favorite kinds of Indian bread, were OK, but seemed to be made using a somewhat overlapping spiral, rather than the multitude of layers we have had elsewhere. Toasting it lightly (in pop-up toaster, each half cut in half again) really boosted it. The Mango Chutney was a good version, as was the Achar. The rice was cooked with some spices, and so had a more interesting flavor than one gets with plain white rice. I was asked on the phone how spicy I wanted things. I said, "medium". Maybe the question was automatic and the dishes we got were not intended to by very spicy at all or maybe they don't expect the typical Central Tennessee resident to be capsicum-tolerant, but there was really little-to-no capsicum in evidence. So, next time, as I said, we'll be trying the Chicken Korma instead of the Chicken Cashmere. And we will probably be adding a Biryani. (For the Biryani, I'll be pushing for Lamb -- we'll see how that idea goes over.) And I just noticed that they have a Coconut Soup, and that seems intriguing. And, as an aside: I offered to use my sheet scanner to create a better quality copy of the menu. The original JPEG scans were about 11.5 MB each, and I converted them to a set of more manageable ~325 KB versions. (If the restaurant wants the full original scans, I can provide them.)
