    Lamb curry, raita, garlic nan, perfect drinking water
    Jason M.

    I usually get Lamb curry medium or even medium hot with raita ( instant mouth cooling) garlic nan, and the water is perfect too. My favorite restaurant in all of Bowling Green. Praise the Lord for this place ! Service is A+. Well lit, perfect temperature too. Comfy seats.

    As two people who have never had Indian cuisine, we were both amazed at the quality of this food and the quality of service. Our server was a soft spoken, young man who was quick to refill our waters when they started getting empty and checked on us at least every 10 minutes. I also forgot my to go box inside the restaurant and he RAN it out to our car. Food was amazing. The medium spice level sufficed for us. The amount of food that comes with your meal is a lot to eat, and I personally couldn't finish mine. The restaurant seemed clean and the music was not too loud and the decor inside is also very nice. 10/10

    Buffet; Papadum Chicken, tikka masala Dal Makhni Potatoes and Naan

    The atmosphere was inviting as well as the employees! Clean and comfortable. We had the buffet and it was amazing! Everything tasted delicious! We would definitely eat here again as we pass through Bowling Green.

    Appetizer

    Service was efficient, perhaps a bit terse at times but I'm willing to let that slide, as closing time was approaching. Ambiance was about as expected. I thought the complimentary appetizer, Indian crisps with 2 chutneys, was lovely. My Panir Masala was colorful, complex and wonderfully spiced; the medium (choices are mild, medium, hot, and Indian hot) heat level was plenty for me. The garlic naan was great - bubbly, chewy and liberally seasoned.

    Pretty mango lassi.

    Very satisfying. Had a big lunch and ordered a lot of food so we could try different things and have some to take home. Food was served quickly and was very fresh. Highly recommended.

    Jungle kebab

    I love this place, been going for years, but the food is often hit or miss. I used to stick with the jungle kebab but recently it's been a lot worse. Chicken saag, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala are all classics. I wish they would shorten their list of over a hundred!! entrees to a few really good ones. I like trying new things but the chance of finding something new that I like is pretty low. If you stick with those entrees, india oven will not disappoint, if you venture into the depths of the menu (who gets the rice dishes anyways?) it might get a lot scarier. Also the owner is cool.

    Aloo Tikki Chaat

    No one ever accused Yelp ratings of being an exact science, but this one I flat out just didn't believe. I figured the only way you'd get a top-rated Indian restaurant in Bowling Green is that people just didn't know what they were rating. But I eat a lot of Indian food in a lot of places (180 restaurants, according to Yelp, plus my own culinary experiments) and the food I got here was top notch. There's some nice South Indian restaurants in the greater Louisville area, but nothing this good in Lexington. For North Indian, this may be the best in the entire state. What's so good? You get a complimentary papadum (a lentil-based cracker) with accompaniments on the house. The menu is broad and intriguing and has more than the standard vegetarian options. And they have an efficient service operation that wheeled out some fresh-tasting cuisine. People were lining up for takeout here, but they're really missing out on the freshness. A proper aloo tikki that's just been fried clashes with its cool coverings wonderfully. Theirs had some nice green herbs on top as well. My bhindi masala had a nice spice blend without being overwhelming, and my onion kulcha was perfectly soft and fluffy. I'll get two meals out of all of it easily. Even on an early week night with lousy weather when I was surprised they were open (my first choice restaurant wasn't), they had a stack of takeout orders ready by 5:10 and were about half full by the time I left. The building is nothing fancy, but the people carry good cheer, and they know what they're doing.

    We love Indian Food and are always excited to try new places. While traveling through Bowling Green we came across this place. The Chicken Curry was amazing. A I thought the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was excellent. We stopped here when driving through on a road trip. Great service and fantastic food! Everything was amazing!! The people were super friendly and answered all my questions!! We had the #7 appetizer, garlic naan, coconut chicken, and chicken tikka masala! I can't say enough about how amazing everything was!!

    We've eaten here before and I was disappointed to learn that the owner talked shit about people…read morefrom Kentucky after the fact. We had been avoiding it like the plague since then, because why would I want to give my money to some jerk off who thinks we're "inbreds" (his words, you can look it up). All that said, we were talking to some friends the other day and they said we should try it again because the seafood selection was fantastic, soooooo we decided to hit it up for our anniversary. We got the oysters, and they were some small guys but out waiter Eli (ask for him) said that they were easy coast even though they typically get west coast. It was nice to have a knowledgeable wait staff that was super friendly and happy to talk through anything with us that we had questions on. We got the steak and sea bass and both were great! Creamed spinach and baked potato as sides were a good call as well. We took some friends with us and one of them got the shrimp and grits, and those grits were LEGIT. Soooooo, if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Bowling Green you could really either do Tony's or Hickory & Oak. In my opinion, Hickory & Oak gets my vote because Josh is one of us and I doubt I'll ever read any articles about him ripping off his employees or calling Kentuckians names, but this experience was so good at Tony's that I might swallow my pride here and there and stop in every once in a while for a delicious steak or some really great bourbon and wine.

    We tried this hotel steak and seafood restaurant for the first time and left with mixed feelings…read more The online reservation system had no option to select seating when I booked, nor did anyone mention seating when they called to confirm our reservation, so we requested a booth from the hostess when we arrived. We were told they were fully booked, yet those exact booths sat empty during our entire meal. Fortunately, our waiter was phenomenal--incredibly upbeat, knew the menu well, and provided reasonably quick service despite the high volume of business the evening we visited. While the ambiance strives to match the restaurant's self-representation of being a fine dining steak and seafood establishment, the food fell a bit flat. I ordered the Filet Mignon and my husband ordered the New York strip; both were only a few tallies above what you could get at any decent, everyday restaurant. We also both ordered a lobster tail, which turned out to be a bit tough. I will say they do have the largest shrimp, which we really enjoyed, and their cocktail sauce was quite tasty. Ultimately, management needs to remember that they are still just a hotel restaurant. To truly captivate customers and justify their fine-dining labels and pricing, they need to refine their seating communication, make everyone who walks in feel seen and appreciated, and inject real culinary ambition into the kitchen, taste, and presentation. While we still enjoyed our evening, I personally do not see us returning. With that being said, they seem to still be thriving, which is great. It's just not for us.

We were greeted by the hostess and told we could sit whenever we wanted and we chose the bar. The bartender got us a couple waters while we looked at the menu.

I ordered Chicken Tinga Tacos and my wife ordered the Chicken Chile Relleno. We waited about 20 minutes, food hadn't arrived, we had eaten all the Chips and Salsa and the bartender was ignoring us. We could see the kitchen and it didn't look like the cooks were even working. Not sure how you could not take care of probably a total of 10 people during lunch. We told the bartender and manager we were leaving because we hadn't gotten our food and to cancel our order. What has happened to this place? Has it changed ownership? What we saw yesterday was a poorly run restaurant and it's kind of sad after having some many good meals here.

My Sausage and Pepper Parmigiana had a delicious mix of flavor and spice which I enjoyed every bite of, while my brother enjoyed his Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. Additionally, we had thought from looking online that this would be one of our pricier meals out, but Cafe Italia actually ended up being a great value, as our meals included a soup or salad and rolls, and the portions were so generous, I needed to pack some of my entree away to eat in the morning. In short, we wholeheartly recommend Cafe Italia, both because the food is excellent but also because the portions are so large they are an excellent value. We are glad we chose to go here and would definitely come back here if in the area again.

We'd never been here before, thus, we were new to this scene! Even stepping in seemed an experience, following behind two ladies, donned in Derby Hats, & their two dapper gentlemen, who smiled, held open the door, & graciously waved us in!! Then, at a long table we happily joined, our extended, car fanatic family. Thus, the festivities began, as our evening flowed pleasantly.. What We Found : Service: Friendly & Attentive.. Our iced tea was refilled & our tables kept clean. And our server, steered us in the right direction, in recommending the Surf & Turf dinner, which was Delightful.. Ambiance: Lofty & Modern Aesthetic, with Rustic Elements. (But still too modern, for our liking). Nearby, seemed a nicer table: with a wooden tent like canopy, situated near a great hearth.. Food: Generous portions of entrees & sides. The hearty sides, are served family style. We ordered: Bacon Cornbread; Mac & Cheese; Roasted Brussel Sprouts; Roasted Mushrooms; & Truffle Fries. These Tasted Divine... Especially the bacon cornbread, served with a dollop of brown butter, which disappeared in no time!! Whilst our Surf & Turf Dinner, of: Shrimp & Beef, served on skewers, atop a bed of Fried Rice, Kicked Us Out of Our Comfort Zone. This was quite unlike the country cuisine of Bowling Green, for so long known!! And, the horseradish sauce, served alongside, seemed rich & robust!! Indeed, the menu seemed to convey the chef's creative touch!! However, our friend beside us, bemoaned that his elk steak dinner, was mostly burnt!! To the staff, not saying a word!! Moreover, Beau found his Strawberry Shortcake, a tad too dry. But from Beau's pretty dessert, to the Almond Cake, ordered at the table--all seemed a pastry feast for the eyes!! Overall: We Found This Classy Venue, A Welcome Change From The Familiar..Hearty Southern Fare, Fine Tuned With A Touch Of The Exotic!! So Happy To Say: We Loved It !!
