We went in about 7pm and were greeted promptly and with kindness. The woman working was extremely helpful to us, and offered multiple suggestions as we were confused with what we should order. The menu was very reasonably priced with good portion sizes, and came with rice and sauces on the side for the samosas. I got the medium spice chicken tikka masala. I had originally wanted to get the mild, but was advised the medium would be more flavorful and she was absolutely correct! The garlic naan was soft and incredible. We got takeout because of the rain, but would love to dine in next time. Will be coming here again asap! Thank you! read more

There are many places this week that I got to visit that were new, including India oven. Although I've heard about it and seen it many times before, I've never stopped in and enjoyed anything from this place. It's quite a unique visit. It wasn't very busy when we got there, in fact, we only ate with two other groups at separate times for a moment. There's lots of seating and it's got a beautiful unique India inspired decor, with posters all around. It smells really great when you enter. We ordered the lamb tikka masala and the yellow Taka doll, both came with rice. We also ordered the onion Bughagi , naan and roti. Everything was absolutely delicious and flavored so incredibly well. Well, I don't drink soda often, I like to have a spicy drink to wash down my food on occasion and so we got a spray that we slowly slipped. Although the service was very kind, and the woman were great, the one thing that I will say is, it took us quite a long time to get service for things and we often found ourselves getting up and walking over to ask for help. read more

India Oven - 60. Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My family have been going to India Oven for about 18years and we love it every time. I usually have tandori chicken but tonight I tried the chicken tikka masala and was delicious. Staff is always friendly. Place has very simple decor and looks pretty clean. Prices are pretty good as well. read more

It was quite good. We had the buffet. It's small, but still has plenty of good choices.

I went because this is the only Indian restaurant I know has a lunch buffet in the area in Tucson. The service is good. It is a family cooking family style restaurant. The butter chicken is by far my favorite. The samosas are way different than any samosa I have ever had. In the past I never liked samosas despite giving it many tries. This one suits me the most in taste. The price is very reasonable. I will come again. The owner is very down to earth and works very hard. read more

India Oven - Naan, saag, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, some I forgot. - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

After reading the reviews on here, our group agreed to dine at this establishment. We arrived around 1:00. As we walked inside it was dark, and several tables had dirty dishes on them. Apparently the buffet was the only option. When we approached the buffet there was a large crock pot with Luke warm rice both inside and outside the pot. There were only around 7 or 8 items that we could select from. The dining room was dark and dirty. The consensus of our group was that the food was sub par and a huge disappointment. When we walked out we were all in agreement that we would never return. Maybe we came at a bad time but I can't believe all the rave reviews. Our experience was very poor. read more

We went here because I heard good reviews and my son was craving Indian food and because I heard from their buffet. The ambiance was a little too dark and outdated. Carpet was dirty, and not very well organized. Their service was great and quick. The few items on the buffet were good but not outstanding. The Tikka Masala was our favorite and the naan was hard but with good flavor. read more

Disgusting and gross food. Ordered the saag chicken. The chicken was stringy and cheap. Tasted like it was mopped off the floor from Food City or some other cheap place. This establishment cuts corners at ever junction. read more

A wonderfully run gem of a restaurant in Tucson. The restaurant staff are very accommodating-- they helped me put some tables together for my group before my friends got there. We were there for the lunch special which is all you can eat! I am a big fan of all you can eat deals and I was able to try a little bit of everything at first, and then go back for seconds of my favorites. Everything was flavorful and I especially loved all the chicken dishes. This is a Tucson staple and I will most definitely becoming back, most likely for the lunch special! read more

My favorite Indian food in Tucson so far! India Oven has a huge menu with a wide variety of authentic Indian dishes. I highly recommend going with a small group and splitting a couple of things. It's family-owned and they are so friendly and appreciative of you being there. One of my Indian friends took me to here because he loves it and wanted to show me a taste of home. I'm so glad he did. It doesn't seem the most put together on the inside, but trust the love that they clearly put into their service and their food and you won't be disappointed. It's fun to try some of their less common dishes, but their Tikka Masala is among the best I've ever had so it's certainly a safe option. read more

India Oven - Buffet - Indian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I worked there, while going to college. Great owners who valued their staff. Used to send me home with more food than I could eat. Food was excellent and the portions were a nice size. Glad to see they are still thriving. Any chance we could open one up in Florida... read more

Best in Tucson for over 30 years. Good atmosphere and friendly staff and owners. Have tried others and none can compare.

I have been driving past this place for decades and have never tried it before. We usually go to Indian Twist which is closed on Tuesdays so we tried this as a plan B. SO glad we did! The food is perfect! We had chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Saag and Fish Curry. All three were wonderful. The Lamb being the front runner. And seriously, the naan was the best I've ever had! Warning-the Taj Majal beer is enormous-but a perfect accompaniment. The dining room is pleasant and the owner is delightful. If you haven't tried it yet, there's no better time to try it than today! read more

Many flies inside this restaurant flying all over sitting area and landing on food. I had to constantly move my hands to keep them away and had to cover my dishes with a napkin to protect my food. Chicken cubes were very hard and dried. Very friendly owner and good server. read more

Delicious! The wait was a bit longer than expected, but it was worth it. It seems to be a popular place on weekday nights.

Excellent food and wonderful service. They were very busy with takeout orders when I went so the wait was a bit long, but well worth it! I don't mind at all for the food I got. Absolutely delicious! read more

We had lunch here today. It's good, not crazy good but (plain) good. We both had the (small) buffet. There were no labels to tell me what was what. So heres my best guess: I had a saag (but with potato not cheese), chicken Curry, rice, and a Naan. I also tried the vegetable samosa. It was all so very mIld. Not bad but not flavorful like great Indian food I'm used to. Needs more spices. read more

I'm here in Tucson visiting my sister and she took me here for their lunch buffet. This was my first time having Indian food. The food was amazing and this is a family run business. Everyone was very nice. The vibe was like I was visiting grandmas house. The food tasted like family secret recipes. Just tasty and amazing!!!!! Next time I'm in town, I'm going to ask my sister to go back to "grandmas house!" This place just felt special. read more

My family has been coming to India Oven for 30 years, since they opened in 1993. They still have my favorite Indian buffet in town. My favorites are their Saag Paneer cooked medium spicy, Beef Vindaloo cooked full spicy, their basmati rice with some Naan Bread and a Taj Mahal Indian beer. Totally tasty and highly recommended. read more

Excellent Indian food! Delicious lentil soup, chutneys that burst with flavor, quick service, and an impressive menu. Usually huge menus are a warning sign but not here. Everything from the papadum to the tomato chutney to the curries were all amazing. Dishes were served piping hot, too. Highly recommended. Pro tip: there's additional parking in the rear. read more
