Great spot for Indian fare. Liked the ambience - gives an upscale Indian dhaba feel. Food was great. Tried the tandoori and chicken curry. Both were nicely cooked with great Indian flavors. Will visit again to try their other chef specials.

I came here with my family and the food and customer service couldn’t have been better. The waiter that served us today was very kind, answered any questions we had and gave his recommendations as well. The atmosphere inside was one of the best I’ve seen. It’s clean, friendly, and homey. Our time here couldn’t have been better and we will definitely come back here. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice calming location for any events, family dinners, and or date nights, it’s a very versatile location.

Some of the best samosas I've ever had! Restaurant is a little dark inside but the mango smoothie and the mango lassi were great! We had samosa appetizers and chicken vindaloo (hot) and lamb shank (medium heat). Absolutely amazing dishes.
Will definitely be coming back again :)

Best Indian food I have ever had. My wife and I ordered two entrees, naan, vegetable pakora, and tea. Everything tasted delicious with the perfect blend of spices. Every employee was very nice and inviting. The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. This will be our go to spot for Indian cuisine.

It's the best Indian place overall in my experience. Great value all around in terms of portions. Best entrees, amazing samosa, and the literal best chutney on the face of the planet. The owner remembers us every time, and every person working there is the nicest. I haven't been there for lunch yet in the ten years we've been going here, but I get to shift that. Tonight I had the best lamb chops I can recall ever having.

A long-time go-to spot in Downtown Columbus for great Indian food! The food is consistently great and the service is always friendly and genuine. You are missing out if you do not give this place a try. A perfect option for carryout, but even better for dine in! Something for everyone, including gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Yummy!
Mel Coyle
This is the best Indian food in Columbus. We’ve had them all but this place is the most consistent and delicious. We order vegetarian and it’s always 10/10. My mother in law from NYC requests this place every time she visits. Thank you!!
Chris Shirer
Wonderful, friendly service and outstanding food. Tonight I stopped by to order takeout and the restaurant was beautifully decorated with sparkling lights and tables set with lamps and greenery.
The curry is fantastic - creamy with a wonderful mix of spices. I like it hot and it has plenty of heat without overpowering the taste of the sauce. The peshwari naan is perfectly baked with a smoky char and the kheer is my favorite treat to end the meal.
Parking is super easy in an off-street lot available with entrance to the right of the restaurant front.
I live about 40 minutes outside Columbus. When I come into town, Indian Oven is one of my favorite spots to zip by on my way back home to get a wholly unique, delicious meal I can't find close by. It's a must try and you'll be hooked, too!

Our first Indian food dining experience and by far they are in a league of their own. We had an amazing experience for Valentine’s Day my husband and I. The food was delicious, atmosphere and service wonderful we were the only people dining in, 😂 lol. Perfect

Lunch special includes 2 curries of your choosing and naan, rice and dal. The curry choices included multiple options of lamb, chicken or vegetarian. The lamb korma was outstanding as was the chicken tikka saag. Service was fast and friendly. On Friday's they have a lunch buffet.

I’ll get this out first - everyone must at the very least try the chicken or beef biryani, and the samosas with the chutney. It is ahhhh-mazing!!!!!! Now…. There’s really no way to sum this place up in a few words! So the short version is an account of a particular visit- I was very sick and my appearance showed it. A quick trip in to pick up my carry out order while looking like death I was greeted warmly with a smile and a lady who attended to every detail. I asked to double check that my chutney was in the order as it was previously left out. She not only checked, but gave me an extra cup. She then engaged in small conversation which led to her answering several questions. I learned about the diversity of employees and the Indian holiday Holi and provided me with my own cup of color. This all matters because most times when you don’t look the best you receive terrible service. Thank you Alex for loving your job and your customers. I felt so much better walking out than I did walking in!!

Had not visited here in a while, so we placed a take out order and were not disappointed. Everything was delicious, well-flavored, and ready on time for pickup. I really enjoyed everything we ordered, we'll definitely be returning more frequently in the future!

I been here 5 years ago but i recently Started coming back because since they changed owner the food is hands down the best in Columbus. Can u believe I been here 5times in this month now. I have enjoyed their lunch special which gives u option to pick from as I pass by here on my lunch break for break. I don’t know what more to say than those who say no this place doesn’t have good food haven’t been here recently. 5years ago the food wasn’t this good but today. I can hands down promises everyone the food here is amazing. Plus the waiters always recommend u to try new things which I liked a lot. I can smell the food they cook from the road and as I enter which tells me they cook their food from scratch. I will be dinning here more often which I know they know my face by now lol please bring your friends and family even little kids this place offers great setting for big or small gatherings as well.

What an incredible experience! Food was delicious. The food was FLAVOR!! We were very well cared for. The staff was attentive. Atmosphere was great. I can't say enough good things about this place.

I order from this place on Doordash, at least once if not twice a week, I get the tandoori chicken mahani. I'm obsessed with the sauce, if they offered just the sauce alone i would buy a gallon of it, it's that good. I get the hottest level I can get with Doordash.
The samosas and chutney are excellent as well. The rice is flavorful
The quality has been consistent everytime I order.
(Indian Oven, please, if I can buy a large amount of this sauce at one time, I would be ecstatic- please let me know if this is even possible)
David Tyhosky
I have been going to Indian Oven for years, they have wonderful food and top-notch service. The buffet is reasonably priced at $9.95 all-you-can-eat; great basmati rice and naan and I specially love the dalmahkni, which is a bean Curry dish; also the rice pudding is wonderful. I would highly recommend this place if you like Indian food; if you wanted to experiment I think the buy to try different things.

I first met the owner Murad in 1998 when he had his restaurant up on North High. I now live in California, but Indian Oven in Columbus, OH is truly one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in. I have lived in 9 states and this place stands out as one of the very best!! Columbus, Ohio is very fortunate to have this caliber of Indian food!! Bravo Murad!!
Damon Reynolds
Best service I’ve ever had at any Indian restaurant. The server was very friendly and the staff. This is now my favorite place.
Lori Wince
We have been patronizing this restaurant for almost 20 years. We have never experienced anything less than great meals at Indian Oven.
The food, service and proprietor are second to none! Murad takes pride in every aspect of this restaurant and it shows in the quality and consistency of the food and service.
If you like Indian you won't likely find any better in Columbus, and that is saying a lot as Columbus has many excellent Indian restaurants.
Rajesh Lahoti
Best Indian Food in Columbus. The dinner special egg rolls are divine (the sauce is heaven), get the papad and coriander chutney and the curry chicken on the lunch buffet is best in show. The chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken on bone are terrific staples.
Ron Templin
Great atmosphere, always treated very well, and the food is phenomenal. Highly recommend.
Omar Alston
Service was wonderfulband food even better.....definitely recommend eating here....and make sure u order some garlic naan
Sheri Fuller
AMAZING!!!!!!! I went in hoping that I would like Indian food. Had the lunch buffet and herbal tea -both incredible! My new favorite downtown lunch spot. Get there early because they close up at 2pm and reopen for dinner.

Absolutely hopeless quality of food and it is anything but Indian. To begin with the drinks menu only had Wine and when asked about the liquor menu, the waiter said that we need to make the choice by walking up to the bar and looking at the bottles !!!!....which we did. They then served Rice with half cooked Tandoori Chicken and we were explained that we should have read the description in the menu to have known better !!! The person would not change the plates after the appetizers until being told to and to top it he made us keep our used spoons as we supposedly had to reuse them. Then came the horrendous food . The Chicken Curry was absolutely uneatable and tasteless with chunks of potato and egg and the Prawn curry was at best passable.I have had bad food at a lot of places but what was most irritating was the nonchalance of the service. The waiter was friendly, I will give him that but he had no clue about waiting surely. My Review in one word is Avoid ! Any Indian place will serve better food than this !
Maya Barrett
The best Indian food in Columbus! The employees are knowledgeable and super friendly and attentive!

Best Indian food I've ever tasted in Ohio. The owner is incredibly kind, the staff is great and the food.... You never want to stop eating. They have ruined all the other Indian restaurants for me!

Our family has been going here for years. Excellent service always!! And they always remember us when we order. And when we dine in, still excellent service. This was the first dining out experience for my Twins. And they loved it. They were toddlers then, and now 8 years old . Our family has enjoyed their great food, and being great people to us!! Thank you!!!
