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.

Good Food but Bad Service – I first tried this place a few months back and love the food but the service was pretty bad which is why I havent returned. I was ignored for the first 5 minutes I was there, then I was offered a menu. I placed my order and was asked "Is that all you want?" Like I had ordered water or something. For the amount of food I ordered I was charged quite a bit and did not see a friendly face from any of the staff, not even the man who took my ordered smiled at me, he glared at me. the place feels like a ... read more

Long time fave – I have been going to India Oven for many years now and it has always been a favorite of mine. The food is excellent and the service is usually pretty good. I have read the other reviews and I too have had a long wait there once out of the many times I have gone there but I have never experienced particularly bad service. My friends that I take there usually love it too. It also feels authentic and not dressed up or over done. Focus is obviously on quality of food but the asthetics are pleasant.

Arrive early for better service – Service was much better than expected, after reading others' reviews of India Oven. We arrived about an hour after opening on a Friday night, and were seated immediately. Our order was taken as soon as we closed our menus, and the food arrived a short time later. The servers were very attentive about drinks & other needs. The food was good and the portions were large (though not enough rice for our group, and more costs extra). Hot spice was not very hot. Atmosphere feels a bit dungeon-like ... read more

Unpredictable but Delicious – I get regular cravings for the food at India Oven, but I agree with the other reviewers that often the service is very poor and the wait time to get your food too long. I always order an appetizer to tide me over. Try the fried cubes of homemade cheese, they are divine! When this place is on, they have wonderful food and good service. They also tend to be packed full of diners, so I guess they don't have much incentive to increase their customer service rating. I wonder if they have read these r... read more

great food!! – loved the curries, eggplant, breads...all were amazing and very well-priced. stay away if you don't like caraway seeds. nice, understated atmosphere but a little too bright at night. service is sometimes too quiet.

Yummy home made food... – I have been to many Indian Restaurants in Portland, but this one is very different from others. This one has very good atmosphere, authentic home made food and excellent taste. Only problem is, if you order then you have to wait for long period. I will recommend this for every one who loves Indian food.
