The Indian Oven

My family and I have frequented this restaurant numerous times and we have always enjoyed really authentic indian food. The Chicken Tikka is amazing and the curry's are always really tasty and plenty of the right spices.I would thoroughly reccomend this restaurant and Neil and Debbie are the finest hosts.You will not be dissapointed.Stuart

Outstanding, authentic food. A vast menu to choose from including lots of vegan options which is a bonus these days. The portions are extremely generous ( we needed a doggy bag to enjoy the next day!) and the service was outstanding. Prices are very good too! Covid rules are firmly in place but not stifling. Tables are well spaced and the restaurant is open with lots of natural airflow so we felt very at ease.This restaurant has risen to the occasion and is going the extra mile to keep scarce patrons coming back. Well done!

We booked a table for 9 of us last night for my husbands Birthday. Neil and his team could not have done more to accommodate us and our requests. The food was outstanding and everyone loved what they ordered. We have been here often and never been disappointed. Thank you

My family and I went to the Indian Oven for a celebratory meal. It was simply amazing. We shared 3 different curries and could not agree on what was the best of the 3. The mix of flavours joined into a real taste sensation.We had been advised by knowledgeable foodie friends that this was the best Indian restaurant in Cape Town, so though it was a bit of a trek for us, we decided to try it. I don’t have enough experience of other restaurants to make the same claim, but it is certainly the best one I have been to in South Africa, and rivals some of the places my son and I went to in Delhi.Sitting outside, with lots of space, also made us feel safe in the context of Covid19, together with the fact that the staff all wore their masks correctly and continually.

Sorry, no , one of the worst Indian meals I have Had worldwide. The chef’s mint chutney for the popadoms was a thin watery false green with no taste. I had vindaloo and jalfreze which used exactly the same tasteless sauce which just left a raw spice taste in the mouth and the spinach and panneer vegetable dish which was almost inedible because it was so bitter and although ordered medium was actually hotter than the vindaloo. Naan was about as thick as a pancake and rubbish. Ended up throwing it all away, should have took it back but the wife put it in the garbage before I could box it back up to return it . NOT RECOMMENDED

This restaurant comes very near to the British Indian restaurants I’m use to. Poppadoms,raita & chutney. A good selection of various curries. I ordered the Chicken Kadui , hot ! It was really delicious. The rice portions are large and enough to share. Innocent is a fantastic waiter & helps you decide which curry will suit your tastebuds best... The bar also serves alcohol free beer for customers who are the designated driver. We will definitely be back.

for looking after us during Covid 19. The same excellent service and standard of the meals we had before and during lockdown.

The cuisine was genuine and delicious. Service stunning.Decor beautiful as well.Would return again and again

ate here several times during our winter stay in Hout Bay and found it to be consistently good at prices you can’t believe they offer such good value for money with a varied menu and very good service Highly recommended

Very good atmosphere and food delicious. Recommend the meat platter for two and trying dishes you do not normally get in the uk Indian restaurants.We went on valentines and were treated to sparkling wine and a rose at the end of the meal which was wonderful. Highly recommend this place.
