• Indian • Lincoln

Booked 15 times today

The first Oven Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, has been around since 1988 and owned/operated by a dedicated family of chefs who have been creating Indian cuisine for over twenty seven years. The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere to the relaxed vibe of the Cellar, we have what you want!

Went to The Oven in the Haymarket because the other one is closed on Mondays. We were celebrating birthdays for my son and daughter. Our waiter Vince was the best! The food was outstanding as always. Love The Oven Haymarket vibes! We all had a great evening.

We had a wonderful experience overall! The food was delicious, though there were a few mismatches between the descriptions and what we received. The server described the egg with the Steak and Eggs as shaved, but we were surprised to receive it sunny side up instead. As for the salmon, while the skin was flavorful and salty, the fish itself was a bit bland and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. On a positive note, the duck was absolutely delicious, and the drinks we ordered were fantastic as well. The staff were great throughout, providing excellent service and adding to the overall positive experience.
