The best Indian restaurant in West LA. The food quality is top notch, it's delicious and the service is friendly. We ordered the chicken tikka masala medium spice and it was spicy in a good way. We also ordered the half chicken tandoori which was very moist and flavorful. Lastly, the prawn biryani was exceptional. They give you 4 jumbo prawns and the rice was aromatic and flavorful. The restaurant has a modern feel, clean and comfortable. The restaurant is a bit hard to find. They are located on the 2nd floor but they are worth taking the trip for. The restaurant offer parking validations during the weekdays and free parking on weekends. If you have a hankering for some excellent Indian food, Indian's oven is the place to go. The owner Shams is warm and hospitable. read more

I think this tops my list of Indian food so far. I ordered delivery of the non-vegetarian Thali. It's a lot of food and it's good. I was concerned because it was a little more than I'm used to spending on a Thali elsewhere, but I have to say - they make up for it with generous portions. The samosas are spicier than I can handle, but the chicken makhani and saag paneer were mild as requested, and still flavorful and rich. I prefer plain rice, but it came with vegetable biryani which was yummy. Naan was good too. I have absolutely no complaints here. Worth a try! read more

I am so happy I live within walking distance of here. Whenever we don't have an easy lunch on hand (ie we've run out of leftovers) we opt for the lunch special. My favorite is the saag and I love that you get rice AND naan amongst the other items in the box. I call ahead and they always have my food ready within 10 mins so it's a quick pick up which helps since I usually am already feeling hunger pains when I call lol. read more

Amazing food!! Such great service and top tier ambiance. Not too expensive but still feels like you're treating yourself - my new go to indian spot on the westside! read more

Food was really good. We got the garlic naan, chicken tika masala, goat biryani, and coconut fish curry. The service was very good, everyone was really nice especially our server Rafiq. read more

Not easy to find at night. They are on the second floor. Nice setting. The food was OK. On the pricier side.

The food is good and not overly spicy. Nice service. Very nice and quiet environment!

Their lunch buffet is one of the best I've ever come across! They have a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options (on both the regular menu and at the buffet). Plenty of parking in the adjacent parking lot (we went on Sunday and parking was free!). The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was very nice...lots of seating, perfect for a large group but still easy to talk and be heard without yelling. I would absolutely recommend and we will definitely be coming back soon!! read more

Absolutely my favorite Indian restaurant in the westside. It's always my go to place when I crave something spicy and savory. I haven't had a bad meal here. Always consistent with their food quality and flavors! read more

Well now, I do declare, it ain't every Saturday night in Los Angeles where a man can sit himself down and feel like he's traveled not just across time zones but across time itself. But that's exactly what happened to me when I tucked into the Royal Vegetarian Dinner at India's Grill. The tray arrived -- a modest metal affair, gleaming with purpose -- and I tell you, it filled me with the same kind of quiet joy as finding a letter from an old friend in the mailbox. Everything you needed was right there in one neat parcel: creamy Shahi Paneer (sweet as a whisper, rich as a preacher), two hearty vegetables stewed with care, perfect white rice, a generous slab of garlic naan, and a cucumber salad that cooled the tongue like a gentle breeze through a Tennessee porch. Now I asked for spicy -- and it was, sure enough -- but it could've stood to kick a bit harder. I ain't complaining, mind you. It had enough heat to let me know it was awake, and that'll suit most folks fine. If you're faint of tongue, they'll surely temper it for you like a blacksmith with a baby's rattle. The portion? Just right. Not the bloated extravagance you find at them brassy joints that value spectacle over soul, no sir. This was a working man's supper with the dignity of restraint and the kindness of value. A fine deal at around twenty dollars, and I washed it down with a proud Kingfisher beer -- cold, tall, and glad to see me. The space itself? Friendly as a front porch light left on late. A few tables outside to catch the Wilshire breeze, a few inside near a television just big enough to remind you of home, but not so big as to shout over your thoughts. So whether you're wandering in after a long day roaming the boulevards of Los Angeles or need something in your belly before a night of mischief and wonder, I'd tip my hat to India's Grill. Quiet, comforting, and grateful to serve you -- a rare trinity in these loud and hurried times. And if you're ever near Wilshire, away from the clang of Hollywood and the grind of downtown, you could do worse than sit a spell here. I surely was thankful I did. read more

The food portions service and vibes are super fire. This might be the best Indian spot in LA dawg. Get the butter chicken or tikka masala, aloo naan, and basmati rice. You will be stuffed and happy read more

This place is legit. Came here on a Monday afternoon when the place was fully empty but the server was super nice. Amazing food! Chicken Vindaloo was delicious as was the Tikka and the naan. read more

The food was very tasty and quite abundant. Three dishes yielded five meals. The service was very attentive.

What a wonderful restaurant! Went to India's Oven for dinner and had such a great time. The chicken vidaloo was perfect. Spicy and so delicious, and the butter chicken was also top notch. We also tried the garlic naan and samosas, which were both good. The best part was the service. Everyone there was so nice. We talked to the owner who was so welcoming. This is definitely going to be a regular stop when I'm in the area. read more

This is an authentic Indian restaurant in Brentwood, located on the second floor, so you get somewhat of a view if you sit by the window. Their papadum was delicious, and their onion bhaji was even better. Amazingly seasoned, crunchy batter on the outside and soft on the inside. They're served with tamarind sauce. I recommend the garlic naan and chicken tikka masala: white tender pieces of chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. Only downside is you have to order a side of rice - it seems no dish comes with a side of rice anymore. The atmosphere was great, they played Indiana music to set the vibes. The food came surprisingly fast and fresh - great staff! read more

First time here at Sham's India's Oven. My friend works in this medical building and recommended having dinner here. The restaurant validates parking if you park in the building. Entrance to the parking is from Barry, just north of Wilshire. It is a bit tricky to find. We shared the Onion Bhaji as an appetizer as well as Spinach Naan. We enjoyed these! We all enjoyed our food, Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala and a vegetarian dinner set! The staff tonight did not wear a uniform, so I wasn't sure who was staff or a guest ( thus the 4 stars) . I saw a few Take Out orders, which was good, because on a Tuesday evening, it wasn't busy. I always like to support local small businesses. View from the restaurant is of Wilshire. Interior is very nice! read more

The food is delicious and the owners are such kind and warm people! It's my regular Indian go-to spot

Ladies and gentleman, my I present to you the worst Indian restaurant in westside as these Yelp reviews were a totally unreliable predictor of what actually came to the table. The naan? A sad, defrosted frisbee impersonating actual bread. The paneer? Store-bought chewy chunks dunked in tepid, passata-like bong water masquerading as a meal. The fish? Over-charred chunks furiously slapped with neon turmeric like a NYPD crime scene cover-up. The vibe? Dreary views of Wilshire's burgeoning real-time crack deliveries at the 7-Eleven across the way. The half-arsed experience with their ruinous sides and chutneys was so, So, SO abysmal that we slipped out midway through this whitewashed charade of "Indian" cuisine. Eating the food was neither not meditative or compelling. It's just disappointing. The staff isn't the problem. There are real, Indian folks running lazily between the kitchen and tables. But they had zero-wattage passion for presentation or cooking skills. Just how they managed to mess up the basics of curry that any 82-year-old Punjabi Aunty could serve up on the fly was beyond the understanding our entire party. A second-class railway carriage in Old Delhi would serve better food than this place. This is the sort of failure that makes us now doubt any Indian place over the hill. #NeverAgain read more

Delicious Masalas (we had chicken and paneer), lamb vindaloo, and chicken biryani. All of them were packed with earthy flavors that does wonders to your taste buds. The only thing I'd probably want more flavor is the Garlic Naan. It could use a little more kick to it. The Aloo Naan was delicious though! Also, be sure to get the vegetable samosas over the chicken samosas, and don't forget to request the mango chutney, mint chutney, and tamarind chutney! read more

Honestly, nothing I say can do this place justice! I LOVE this restaurant! It's not only the BEST Indian food in LA but also some of the friendliest! Service and ambiance is also amazing! It's both elegant and down to earth like you are a house guest to an Indian family that have so much care and taste. I first came to this place almost 18-19 years ago with an Indian acquaintance at the time and was amazed by this place! I didn't drive at the time so I didn't know how to find this place for many years but also remember how nice and delicious the experience was. Thanks to Yelp and fellow Yelpers' pictures, I found this place and went again and now this is my friends and family's go-to place in LA for Indian food! read more

Great customer service and atmosphere, but most importantly the food is so good! I would dine in here again and their portions are extremely generous the garlic naan is the best! read more

This is by far the best Indian food in West LA. The Daal and Saag made here are so much better than the ones at other places. I find myself having them two days in a row often. The lunch boxes are also excellent in terms of value. The owner is also pretty friendly. They also validate parking for an hour. No excuses for not going here due to parking lol. read more

If Yelp allowed six stars, India's Oven would absolutely earn them. This spot is right next door to my job, and every time I walk in, I'm met with exceptional customer service. The kind of service that's genuine, consistent, and attentive. The staff remembers faces, checks in thoughtfully, and truly makes you feel welcomed. You can tell they take pride not just in their food, but in creating an experience that feels personal. And of course, the food is incredibllle...flavorful, comforting, and always fresh. Whether it's a quick lunch meal or a sit-down meal, they deliver every time. Easily one of the best parts of my workday. Highly recommend! read more

This is not Indian food, this is super awful food. They took extremely long to get the food, it took them hours for a simple small Door dash order. After that, the roti was fine, but the papdi wouldn't break either. No one was there at the restaurant, don't go! read more

Shams India Oven was extremely hard to find we walked around for 7 minutes trying to find. It's inside the building on the second story. The inside was gorgeous there plenty of seating and you have a small view that comes with it. The service was good and they made you feel welcomed. The lamb curry was really good. Had tons of flavor and great texture. The lamb was really good and it had a decent amount of it in there. It really well in top of the rice. And had great consistency. Garlic Naan was also good it was nice warm and garlicky. Did everything I expected to do. read more

Great food and friendly service. Prices felt reasonable for what you get. I tried the fried chicken and the fried fish, and both were cooked well with good seasoning.

This used to be my go-to place for Indian food, but I haven't been able to afford ordering out for a few years. Tonight, I am really wanting Indian and was gobsmacked by the huge price hikes! $17 - 19 for paneers? Really? Just a few years ago, they were $11 - 13. Oddly, if you look at their home page, there are two options: one is "Sham's India's Oven" (that jacked their prices) and "Sham Vegan Kitchen" and guess what? Sham Vegan kitchen shows the old prices - BUT you cannot place an order online for this option. What is happening here? read more

Hidden gem in West Los Angeles, it's actually on the second floor of the black medical building on the corner of Wilshire and one block west of San Vicente *Parking* $2 parking in the building after 6pm, and restaurant validates *Portions* Generous portions. We had the thali (a tasting of various dishes including curry and biriyani and naan) and lamb curry, and a side of rice. Authentic Indian food, so if you don't know where to go on a Friday night, just come out here! Will be back for their lunch specials. read more

The chicken was so good. Like buffalo chicken but Indian spiced. Great dish and an unexpected treat.

This place is the best. The food has so much flavor and great texture. I've tried a handful of things like the chicken Tika, buttered chicken, and the grilled shrimp and they all explode with flavor on your taste buds. The appetizers are great too. You can't go wrong with any choice. Even the crab cakes were some of the best I've ever tasted! The service is so kind and so welcoming. They truly are excited to see you when you walk through their doors and make sure you leave happier than when you came in. The ambiance in the place is subtle and calm. Less is more sometimes and it's really just a peaceful place to enjoy a meal made with love. The tables are so neatly set, with their napkin folds. They even offer to exchange your plates and silverware after appetizers if you so wish. It feels like I'm home eating a meal with how sweet the staff are. Even the owner is so personable and will personally check if everything is satisfactory, and of course it is. This was my first Indian restaurant I've been to and I was thoroughly impressed. I've tried others since but nothing beats coming back to India's Oven. Thank you so much! read more
