I really recommend this places. Good food, quality, service and ambience. I love India food and this places is the best in north Sacramento. Waiters are always very friendly and food is always good. I need to be honest this time that i went to eat, food was more spicy which I loved it. More flavor. I really recommend you butter chicken with garlic nam. If you want something sweet and spicy mago chicken is perfect.
There are other Indian Oven locations, but this is our favorite! Classy place, matre d' service, courteous staff, food is delicious! Nice and clean. We're here weekly! Go in the evening during the week for a fine-dining feel.
After eight years of eating at restaurants in Natomas, many friends had encouraged me to try India Oven. Today, was my first dine in experience. I walked in late in the evening, 8:15pm on a Sunday evening to be exact. My server, Manooj very handsome I must say was very pleasant and kind. I knew exactly what I wanted, so he did not have to explain much on the menu. I did notice a small lotus flower on my plate that he served me. I asked what did it symbolize? He explained, the lotus is the country symbol. That they also, have a large banquet hall in Citrus Heights called White Lotus. The ambiance was very family oriented. The restaurant was full with many large families seated. The location was clean. Indian music playing, with a warm and cozy feeling. I enjoyed my food and my first time experience eating. I will be back for their lunch buffet.
Lovely cultural decor. Very pleasant host and wait staff. Fast and friendly service. We ordered the vegetable pakora appetizer with great tasting sauces (I didn't care for the batter). The garlic naan, rice and butter chicken was super good. Loved this dining experience. Yummy yum yum.
4.5 stars for food 5 stars for ambience 3 stars for service 4.5 stars for value I have recently been to my favorite sushi place and spent almost $90 and left not feeling full. I also went to a different Indian place, spent $60 and didn't end up full. I came here to Indian Oven & spent about $45 for 2 people for the lunch buffet and left feeling full, satisfied, and like the value was well earned. The tandoori chicken was cooked so well, pink and a little smoky flavored. Inside was softer, tender and with a hint of Indian spice. I usually enjoy this accompanied with the raw red onion and dip it in the maroon colored tamarind sauce, taking turns with the bright green sauce. All three complement the chicken so perfectly. I don't eat rice so I ate it with the mashed potatoes which was yellow and delicious. I also ate the mashed potatoes with the vegetables with the yellow looking sauce. Perfect marrying of flavors! They had an Indian restaurants usual MVP player, the butter chicken too. The sauce was really yummy & creamy. Usually it seems like Indian restaurants use the leftover shredded tandoori chicken for this dish, which gives the dish more flavor, but this restaurant didn't. It was white meat, cut in squares, dense & dry, so I didn't end up finishing it. I enjoyed the okra. I really wish they had the saag paneer, which is my other go-to. I was a little disappointed because that's at every singe Indian buffet I've been to, and it's one of my 2 favorite Indian dishes. The lamb curry was good, and is usually my favorite, but it could've been a lil more tender and I really wished they used the cut of the lamb that has the lovely yummy marrow goodness in it. I had the garbanzo beans, my usual high fiber favorite, but I can't recall how I felt about that dish. Dishes I seen but didn't try was curry chicken (Hubby loved it), a few pakoras, a few curries, they even had some food I think was from a different country. Like I think I seen chow mein and also French fries. They had a fruit and salad section that had several salad dressings. I aimed for cucumbers to balance my meal and to raise fiber intake to balance all the yummy meaty, creamy lovin. For newbie Indian food eaters, one thing that I haven't ever seen on an Indian menu is beef. I believe Indians deem cows sacred in Hinduism and are a symbol of life per Google, so that wasn't entirely surprising to not see. To end my meal I tried the soothing & warm masala chai which is a rich herbal milk tea. It is so delicious, one of the best I've ever had. I had to take some home in a plastic cup it was so good. And I'm thinking I wish I had it now as the weather cools down. For dessert they had the galub jamun which are balls of sweet carby goodness. I can't eat that due to my sugar levels, but man was it enticing! If they only had the rice pudding there I may have caved in & ate it. That combo is sooooo amazing! Service was a little absent, except for 1 water fill up. I had to get up and ask for stuff. One thing that stands out is how gorgeous this restaurant is from floor to ceiling. They don't spare any wall from decor. It's tasteful, creative, a decorators eye candy for sure. There are booths & longer tables for small groups, medium sized groups, lunch dates, work dates & larger parties. I highly recommend coming here for a lunch buffet to satisfy your Indian food craving for a reasonable price. It's about 25 minutes from where I live, so worth it and about $20 per person.
The food here is always great and the service is even better. We're always quickly seated and served. It can be a bit quiet in the evenings, but don't let that fool you, the food here is legit tasty. My recommendation, don't skip on the garlic naan. It's worth the extra bucks to get that buttery garlic goodness
What a gem! The server was so nice to point out the vegan friendly options on the menu. He also told me two dishes would be too much for me which I appreciated, but I wanted the leftovers for later. I had the Punjabi Chole and the Aloo Gobi. I asked for both dishes to be spicy and they were perfect. My friend had the buffet and everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious.
3.5 stars since we can't give half stars on YELP. This is the same Indian oven as the one in Elk Grove. You can't tell me otherwise; the menu has the same logo and items. I called once before to ask and they said No we are not. Anyways, garlic naan was the star there was so much garlic just how we like it. We got tikka masala and butter chicken. Very delicious. Good could be hotter though. We came in on a Wednesday evening, and there was only one other person in the whole restaurant, but since we've been to the elk Grove location we knew that the food was going to taste good. My one suggestion is to make sure that the basmati rice is hot enough when you serve it and not to put random cold peas on top of the rice, peas are unnecessary for basmati rice. It wasn't great bitting into warm butter chicken then cold rice. I even stuck my finger Into the middle of the rice bowl to make sure it wasn't just a small piece of rice that's cold, it was the whole thing and the pea was cold like it just came out the refrigerator . Please also fix your bathroom knob there's a whole that's if someone desperate enough can peek right through.
First impression: great decor, classy silverware, and spotless water glasses! Food: Tikka Masala (medium heat) was a smidget too hot for me, would order the mild next time. Naan bread is perfect and rice pudding is the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. Also came on a buffet day and for $19.25 I would say it's worth it. Chai comes with buffet and was delicious. I'm sure other people share my views about the value because the place was full for Thursday lunch. The wait staff is very attentive and kind! Definitely coming back on a buffet day and will add this to my takeout list!
First time ordering food from here. I've been looking for good tandoori chicken, as all other places I've tried, tandoori chicken had no flavor, they did give me lots of chicken... Garlic naan was ok, I've definitely had better, goat curry was good, but everything is kinda expensive here. I also tried kheer but it was my first time so not sure if it all tastes like incense...
I have been to India Oven in Natomas a few times, and the lunch buffet is probably what keeps me coming back. I like being able to walk in hungry and try a little bit of everything instead of trying to decide what to order. There's a good mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, along with appetizers, a salad bar, desserts, and tea. I especially like when the naan comes out fresh and hot that's always a must for me. You can have regular butter naan or garlic naan. The salad bar is a nice addition too, especially when you want something fresh alongside all the curries. And I'm definitely not skipping dessert or chai at the end. The food has generally been fresh and flavorful when I have gone, and there's enough variety that everyone can usually find something they like. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the staff have been friendly during my visits. For me, it's an easy Natomas spot when I'm craving Indian food and want a buffet where I can try different dishes and leave completely full. Definitely a place I will come back to. read more

I've been ordering food from India Oven for years and I've never had a complaint about their food at all! I ordered to go today and got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. I only had to wait about 10-15 minutes for my food and when I got home the food was still extremely hot. The Chicken Tikka Masala was so flavorful and I loved using the Garlic Naan to dip right into it. This place has always been my go to whenever I'm craving Indian food. I really recommend coming here and trying out their food! read more

Oh man, I am so sad to have to write this review because I love the food here, but I had an awful experience today. I decided to order pickup to use a coupon featured on the Natomas Marketplace website for $5. Upon checkout, the merchant added 5% off instead--only $2.14. Furthermore, I was charged $7.95 for 1 Kheer when it's listed as $3.95 on the website (Tikka Masala and Korma were also listed as 14.95 and 13.95 on the website's menu). My subtotal should've been $27.85 + tax, instead I was charged $40.71 + tax. A $13 difference is HUGE and it was frustrating knowing that the merchant just didn't want to honor the coupon or online prices. Please update your online prices and don't offer coupons if you're not going to honor them. read more

A very nice Indian place to eat. Special part is they serve buffet which have huge spreads of appetizers ( both veg and non veg ) curry's ( both veg and non veg ) and desserts . All curry were good , especially Navratan korma and saag panner. Dessert gulab jamun and Kherad were delicious . Reducing one star as appetizer were not great . Services and staff were courteous and took care of us. Very nice Indian decor. This place is on good location if you are coming from airport it's very near to that and have Walmart and other basic necessity stores near by. read more

I came here for dinner recently. Here's what I liked: -Very pretty interior, looks more elegant than most Indian restaurants; tasteful without being gaudy. -Clean and looks inviting -Comfy booth chairs easy to accommodate large family/parties. -Waiters were friendly and attentive throughout the dining experience -Service is efficient, and food come out really fast What I wasn't a fan of: -I ordered the okra (bhindi masala). The flavor was good. But there was one large onion's worth of chopped onion in my dish. After removing the onion there was maybe one cup's worth of okra left. I didn't pay $15 for the majority of my dish to be the onion. -Date ordered tandoori chicken kebab (boneless). He got legs and thighs instead. That would've been fine, but he said the flavor was off too. -Each entree was to come with its own order of rice. Server gave us one, said it "should be enough for us and if we want more he'd give us the second one". I think it's proper to give us what we paid for (the two orders). Misc: -Masala chai was acceptable. -Rice, Raita and butter naan were the best part of our meal. I can't speak of the desserts because we didn't want the disappointment to continue. -Price points have increased - but that's expected in this inflation. -I've never had the buffet here; but from the menu it seems like it's back. -I was last here in 2019 and had a similar mediocre experience. For better quality Indian food I'd recommend: Ruchi's, Delhi Oven, and Chaat Kafe (not as pretty inside). read more
Food was phenomenal. Service was great and attentive. The paneer naan is a must! My favorite was the Lamb Tikka Masala. The lamb was tender and sauce was creamy. I love their portions. It was more than enough to share and still have left overs after the end of the meal. They have a good size menu so i recommend sharing so you can try more than one thing. I'm excited to try other options in the future. Highly recommended! read more

Me and my girl came here today and did dine in. The place was nice enough to hold an event . The servers came and took our order quickly and kept up with everything we neeeded. I like this place but it isn't my favorite. The butter chicken was fire but the lamb curry didn't have a flavor I liked. The chutney was good and my girlfriend really liked this place though. We both think Benares is still our favorite but this place is a good third to our top spots. I tried a chicken samosa and it taste a lot like chicken egg roll. It was a good flavor for my tastebuds. I like it . I would go for the butter chicken read more
We have been to the location in El Dorado Hills, but didn't realize they had another location in Sacramento. At this location, even more options were available & all so fresh and delicious! The staff is very friendly as well & attentive to when you might need refills, plates removed, etc. Great lunch date! read more
