Indian Oven

Pros: Some good items such as the prawns and mango lassi
Cons: Poor service, food can be a little bit on the oily side

My Beau had never eaten Indian food before, but it was not for lack of cajoling on my part. But every time I suggested it, he would twist his face up and say “no, I know I won’t like it.”

So I was completely dumfounded when I came home one...

Pros: good food in a nice setting
Cons: some pressure to order more than you'd like to

Indian Oven is good. No denying it, it's good. They have real tandoori (which requires a large clay urn filled with hot coals to make properly), the breads are puffy and cooked right, the food is just spicy enough and not too oily, and is made with fresh...

Pros: Nice ambience; good location
Cons: Food isn't great; service isn't great

I am of Indian descent and - like others on this site - have been frustrated by the fact that there should be - but aren't - better Indian restaurants in the Bay Area.

We went to the Indian Oven a couple weeks ago. I made reservation for a...

Pros: Great service
Cons: Must suffer through Dine11 for delivery

Indian Oven is well known to San Franciscans who insist on excellent Indian Food. However, i think that what sets Indian Oven apart from other restaurants is the service.

The clean and well designed interior is very well complimented by a...

Pros: Best Indian food I've had in San Francisco
Cons: Long waits, no reservations

Recently I went back to Indian Oven after not having been there for several months and immediately I began hating myself for wasting my time eating meals at other restaurants. I had eaten at various Indian restaurants in the bay area in the mean time and...

Pros: The food and helpful staff.
Cons: Parking could be a challenge (but that is normal in SF)

What do I like about this restaurant? The food for one. The simple, elegant decor. And, the way it smells for another. There is not anything I hate about this place. The wait-staff is very knowledgeable about the foo, and are quick to give helpful...

Pros: Great, great food, reasonable prices
Cons: Questionable food handling

Indian Oven is easily one of the tastiest, most relaxed, most appropriately decorated, and best-served restaurants in San Francisco. It's relaxed enough to go for a good casual lunch but classy enough for going on a dinner date.

The food is...

Pros: Great food, good staff, fabulous smell
Cons: If only I lived closer...

In a city with hundreds of amazing restaurants, I think it's fair to say that Indian Oven is one of the best. I try to eat there once a week--it's worth the bus ride, and they haven't let me down yet.

I recommend going for the dinner option...
