My favorite restaurant! – I have been dining in this restaurant for the past five years, and its food is the best of any restaurant I've ever been to. The menu has all kinds of options, including some items for people who aren't interested in 'exotic' foods, as well as vegetarian options. The only small complaints I have are the building (which is fairly old; the bathrooms are in desperate need of a remodel) and language differences between the waitors and myself, which can make ordering somewhat difficult. But who knows, ma... read more

Editorial Review by Mary Morley – Hawthorne Indian restaurant is a little skimpy in atmosphere, but the classic dishes like naan, samosas, curries and masalas rarely disappoint.

Dinner took Over 2 Hours, and we ate Fast. – I do not recommend that anyone visit this resteraunt unless they have several hours and some extra cash to spend, are nearsighted, and will not need to use the restroom. My girlfriend and I arrived at 5:30 on Friday night. Two tables were seated, and we waited fifteen minutes for someone to come out of the kitchen and offer us a table. Twenty minutes later out order was taken. Fifty minutes later our food arrived. We ate, flagged the waitress down so we could pay, and finally left... read more

Patience is a virtue – After reading the other reviews I walked in to India Oven last night expecting a mediocre dining experience, but walked out completely satiated and wishing my little body was capable of consuming more than one helping of food. Having recently relocated to the area, I am so thrilled with the vegetarian options at most local eateries, but a bit disappointed with the flavor and quality of ethnic foods, so far. Last night's meal was very much an exception. True, the ambiance of the place is a bit lacking, ... read more

Consistent for Years! – Both the India Oven in Gresham and the branch in Portland are owned by the same folks. I have choosing to eat at both of these locations for approx. 8 years. The food is fresh, the great taste is consistent, and I highly recommend both places. Recently I noticed that they started charging for CHAI tea refills. Ok, I understand - prices go up. It is important for me to remember what the culture of a cuisine is before I judge the accommodations. I would highly recomment the lunch buffet!!!! (Sag Lamb an... read more

go there for lunch!! – I was shocked to see that all of the people who've reviewed this place didn't mention their fantastic lunch buffet. I eat at India Oven about once a week, but I NEVER go there for dinner. If you can make it there for lunch (between 11:30 and 2:30 I think) go that route. The price is right (around $7.50)... and you don't have to wait for your food! The service is still a little slow, but I've never gotten lip for asking for the check.

such awful service, that food is not worth it – I have been here quite a few times, each time hoping the service would get better. The food is only avereage, and extremely overpriced. The service is just plain awful. No friendly smiles, more of a growl and a glare. cold sterile environment. bathrooms are just disgusting. I would not recommend ANYONE to go here. When you go to pay good money at a restraunt and have a fine dining experience, you expect to be treated with attentiveness and kindness, escpecially if you are payin... read more

Tasty, but SLOOOOOOOOW – My girlfriend and I went to India Oven on a Friday night. We wanted to catch dinner there and then go up the street to the Bagdad to see a movie at 7:30. We arrived at the resttaurant about 6:30 and were seated prmoptly. The service at the point was fair ad we felt attended to. However, once we ordered, we waited and waited and waited - until nearly 7:20. We had to rush through our food and run out the door, not really enjoying our meal. And the only time we got any kind of smile/conversation from ou... read more

User review by haveagomerchant – My first experience with India Oven was OK. Decent food, very slow service, but worth trying again. The second time we went back, we walked in and asked for a table for two. It was more crowded than I had previously seen it, but there were numerous tables still open. The hostess glanced around briefly and said, "You leave and come back in one hour, we busy." I left, but needless to say I didn't go back in an hour or ever.
