Had the lunch buffet and it was delicious! It's a family-owned restaurant and has been around for fifteen years. Spoke with one of the family members and it sounds like COVID hit them hard and now with the movie theater next door closing they likely have even less traffic. Go out and support this local small business!

I love eating at the Indian Oven. I have been a handful of times, every time it is delicious. I live in Colorado Springs so it is a little bit of a drive, but worth my time. It's yummy, and, the service is wonderful. & a special Thank you to Alex! He treats me so good every time. Thank you!

Hidden Gem. This is the only Indian restaurant we've found that still has a noteworthy lunch buffet -- it's fantastic! With twelve entrees to choose from, and both Saffron rice and Basmati rice, plus desert, this is an unusual find. It is hidden away in the back corner of a strip mall with an exterior that is nondescript, but the interior is ethnic, attractive, and calming. The service is excellent, as well. Without a doubt, this restaurant is far superior to others in the area. While these features do set 'India Oven' apart from the other Indian restaurants in this part of Denver, it is the quality and taste of the food that makes this restaurant so exceptional. I love Indian food and have visited many Indian restaurants in the Denver area. I rate this as the absolute best. It is also the best value. Let's remember too, that we need to support these small, family-owned businesses. Thankfully, this is one we can be happy to support as it has a well-earned 5-star rating in each category.

3/5/23-One of the best Indian places in the Denver metro area. Good food for a good price. The all you can eat buffet is 15.99. The buffet may be small, but it has a good variety of items. The first half is vegetarian. Really good sauces. Service was ok. The outside of the building was a little ran down, but the inside is clean and inviting.

The best thing about this restaurant is the food. While most Indian restaurants taste pretty much the same, the food at India Oven has a unique, more home-made flavor. Like a secret family recipe. The worst part about this restaurant is that they seem to be empty every time I go. Tucked away in the distant corner of a crumbling strip mall, this "diamond in the rough" deserves a lot more attention.

One of the only consistent Indian dinner buffets in the region. Every dish is delicious for 17/dinner! I'm normally more of a meat kind of girl, but their vegetarian dishes are just as delicious. Second time here and I'll be back again.

Oh how I love their lunch buffet. I go there regularly and my vegetarian companions love how all the veggie options - especially the sweet potato masala. Yesterday there was some spicy chicken too, which I loved. We had to wait a bit for nan bread but it was so worth the wait - the fresh bread was so good. The price is right and the service is good. Highly recommend.
