We had take out of the Tandoori Chicken and the Paneer Tikka masala. Of course we had rice and naan too! :-) it was very good. It was way more than I was expecting for grass Valley. It was a little on the pricey side but that I could handle. But the food was very very good and certainly enough for two hungry adults. I would recommend. read more

I was very surprised by this place as I thought is was merely a chain franchise of some sort. The food here tastes authentic and the service is incredibly friendly and accommodating. What gives them a 5 star rating is the fact that they have always so graciously gone above and beyond to prepare some of their signature dishes sans dairy upon my request. Very grateful for anyone who is willing to work around food allergies. Pricing is average for decent Indian entrees and portions are always plentiful. read more

The Sag Paneer was spot on delicious. The Peshewari Naan bread was lightly sweetened with cherries and nuts. It was an interesting pair with the entree. Next time I am in the neighborhood I will be sure and come back. read more

I believe that many of the negative reviews of this restaurant are from several years ago, when the food was not, infact, great. I don't know what happened around two years ago, a new chef perhaps, but ever since the food has been fantastic. Everything that we've tried on the menu has been wonderful, and we've tried a lot. A dinner buffet three nights a week, with fresh naan delivered to your table, is an exciting addition to the usual lunch buffet. As with any buffet, show up earlier for fresher food. This is one of our very favorite restaurants in the Grass Valley area, and ranks up amoung the best of Indian restaurants I have frequented in my life. read more

I have tried this joint 3 times now and I gotta say it's been delicous every time! Great food, cool atmosphere, and if you get there early enough try the buffet..... It's awesome. Enjoy folks. read more

This place has really improved and is firing on all cylinders now. The food is great, the service is great and sometimes the place is so packed at lunch time you have to wait for a table. I'm happy to see the changes and they have recently changed out the booths and painted, so it's looking very spiffy. The Tibetan monks are in town in January so I have run into them now twice at lunch time, an added bonus. read more

Staff are all super nice, Buffett is a great deal, she saw there was only sauce left in the chicken Masala when I was loading up my too go box ,came out a few minuets later with a fresh batch just for me. Im addicted to the garlic nann. If you eat off the menu it's a little pricey but well worth it ,portions size is great eat in, but for to go orders I would recommend either becoming a regular or a too go buffet order. Thanks yelp now I'm craving indain oven again ,lol read more

I've only had dinner here twice, but I love visiting for lunch monthly! The lunch buffet is a GREAT value if you have a large appetite and love Indian food as much as I do. I usually spend an hour here for lunch; their dishwasher hates me! The buffet has a wide, delicious selection of both meat and vegetarian dishes. I'm an equal opportunity eater and love that the vegetarian dishes are as delicious as the meat and very healthy! The naan is delivered really fresh and hot. Shelly's Smart Shopper usually has a BOGOHO coupon available for both lunch and dinner. So the price is really reasonable. I've eaten here at least 15 times and never had a bad experience. read more

Best Indian food I've had in the area (and I've tried quite a few restaurants between Grass Valley and Sacramento). The lunch buffet is reasonably priced, includes naan bread (garlic or regular) for the table, and every dish I've tried has been delicious. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the servers have been kind and attentive every time I've visited. I haven't been there for dinner yet, but I always end up coming back for lunch whenever I go to Grass Valley. read more

Great Buffet. I eat a lot of Indian food and this place was very reasonably priced and the food was very freshly prepared. The server was not that attentive, but this is a buffet... all that is needed is to keep water in my glass and remove the empty plates. The food was fresh and the buffet table was kept stocked with new items. read more

For an Indian Food in Grass Valley this place is pretty dang good. Flavor has changed a little recently, not bad and service has been hit or miss with a friendly attitude. I do enjoy going here and Sally's Smart Shopper generally has a bogo for this restaurant. Overall a good buffet with good choices, always hot and fresh. read more

Friendly staff, authentic and delicious Indian food. Ordered appetizers, two types of lamb, and three veggie plates for four people. read more

India Oven - Two lamb plates, three veggie plates. Yum! - Indian Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Decent food and alright service. Seems like they would rather have people just come in and do the buffet at dinner than actual sit down service. But, it's definitely the best Indian food in the area! Deserves a try. read more

Came for the lunch buffet. Good selection of food for both Vegetarian and Meat eaters. Food could use to be kept more hot, but other than that, no complaints. Friendly, prompt service and reasonable prices. read more

I love this place. I wish I could live closer! But whenever I am in town on the first night I always have to eat here! I have tried many Indian restaurant's but none compare to here! I highly recommend this place love the shrimp curry or chicken curry. Yum. read more

The food is great here. And service as well. I really appreciate the way they package their to-go orders and I reuse the containers all the time. Ample portions, nice buffet and fresh naan. The remodel looks great! This is where I go for Indian food. read more

Lunch buffet is all you could expect from an Indian lunch buffet. Naan included and drinks are extra. Food is always hot and good. No complaints. read more

I've eaten at India Oven a few times and I absolutely LOVE it here! The naan is always outstanding... and the chicken tikka masala is my go-to favorite. I've had it mild and medium and I love both. At times the service is a bit slow, I'm not really sure why considering how it wasn't very busy at all at times that it was slow. It's pretty pricey for my taste - for me and my husband to eat there - chicken tikka masalas, naan, and waters - it's often close to $40, eek! Definitely great for an occasional treat, though! It's my first experience with Indian food and I must say I am a fan for life! The service is always very friendly here... and I love the decor and artwork in the restaurant. Service? Friendly but on the slow side. Food? Excellent (always been hot - temperature - when arrived), but a bit on the pricey side. Experience? A must have. read more

This place offers delicious food at a very low price. Many different unique options, and the lunch buffet is wonderful. I gave only four stars as the ambiance is totally lacking... it is very quiet in there and it tends to be a litttle uncomfortable. You end up whispering with whoever you're with because of the odd silence. However, it is still totally worth visiting! read more

I would give this place more stars if I could. I live in Berkeley and make a point to come to Grass Valley on the weekends to go to their buffet. The selection is just phenomenal. Hands down one of the best Indian places out there. Their brussels sprouts are especially tasty. I could eat here for almost every meal. Plus, the buffet is very reasonably priced for the quality of food that is available. Anyone who disses on this place is just a hater. read more

Granted this is the only Indian place in Grass Valley, but it hits in the spot when I am craving Indian buffet. I wish the bathrooms were cleaner (fresh paint on the door) and they would tidy up the room on the way to the bathroom. read more

My experience at India Oven was delightful! When I walked in I was greeted instantly, it gave me a very welcoming feel. As far as the setting goes, they have a very intimate setting perfect for anything from date night to Friday night family dinner. The food is phenomenal, I have been coming to India Oven for years now and they never fail me. Delicious Indian delicacies made to your preference. The food is never to spicy or to bland just perfect for my tasting. They really listen to your order and try to get it spot on. I really enjoy the wide variety of items they offer and will continue to be a loyal customer to India Oven for years to come. Would highly recommend to friends and family! read more

We went in the restaurant at lunch time on a Sunday. There were a couple other customers. We told the waiter we didn't know anything about Indian food and could he help us. He walked away. We looked at the menu and had no idea what to order. Waved him back and asked about the buffet. He said $11.95 each and again walked away. At the buffet there were hand written signs over each food dish but there lighting was dim and the words almost impossible to read. The food overall was poor; rice either hard or soggy depending on side of pan; and fatty lamb. Everything we tried was poorly prepared, overcooked or smothered with unknown sauce. An unforgettable and over priced meal and a waste of our time and money. And loud music overhead. read more

The food is okay, not exceptional. Service was slow the one time we ate in. Place has no atmosphere, but seemed clean. I can make something about as good at home for a fraction of the cost. I think we've ordered out from this place 3 times, and for two people it typically comes out around $40 (we usually get 2 orders of chicken tikka, naan, and rice) which seems outrageously overpriced. Not sure why it is so expensive...suspect it's because they are the only game in town. read more

I was visiting my friend in the area and she suggested this place. We ordered Tandoori chicken and Tandoori shrimp with garlic naan and aloo paratha. Awesome, delicious foods. I was blown away by how tasty the Tandoori was and it came out in sizzling platter like fajitas! The naan was like right off of the over, very fresh. I will definitely come back again and try other dishes from their huge menu. read more

The food was flavorful. However the service was terrible. Our waiter was unfriendly, to the point we figured he really didn't like his job. Water was filled and he was in such a rush to finish that water was trailed all over the table and our food. (several times) Our dishes came out ten minutes apart. My friend ordered the vegetable selection and I ordered the meat. They placed the meat one in front of her first and said "vegetable" (yes, just that one word) took her biting into a piece of chicken to figure out it was not "vegetable" Her vegetable plate came out ten minutes after mine. It was a little on the pricey side as well. read more

On the upside, it's flavorful and cheap. On the down side, I vomited it all up several hours later. Beware of this Indian buffet.

This place was horrible. I will never go back. The food was dried out and very very spicy I could not even eat it the food tasted very old. It looked like the food was out all day long it did not look fresh it looked very old and dried out food. The restaurant did not look clean it was filthy dirty. There were dirty tables that had not been washed off. I saw one of the wait staff cleaning off the table. He did not put the crumbs of food in his hand he just pushed the food onto the floor and walked away. He did not even vacuum the floor where the food was. Gross. I ordered an orange soda and they did not even have it. It was advertised on their website page. False advertising on the sodas. The restaurant should be shut down by the health broad for poor taste in food and the restaurant looks filthy dirty. Would not waste my money on them. The restaurant smelled really bad gross gag me with a spoon. read more

Now that they don't allow 'take out' orders, but insist that we use a third-party delivery service, the price of the meal is $43, but add tax, tip and delivery fee it's now $63. Forget it! The tax and tip are ok, but I can pick up the food for far less than what the delivery company charges, and worse yet... we have to abide by the delivery company's delivery schedule, whereas, I could pickup the food just minutes before we want to eat. Oh well... progress sometimes works in reverse. I have NO complaints about their food (except the okra which has stems and twigs in it) just the new 'no take out' policy. read more

Great food! I recommend the all you can eat. It's a little pricy, but definitely go when you're hungry!

India Oven is tucked away in the Raley's shopping center. I have been driving past it for years. I never knew There was such a good Indian restaurant in Grass Valley. The lamb is delicious, the chicken tikka masala is delicious, and can't wait to try more! They even have a buffet! read more

disorganized, food has gone down hill. I fell on the very wet floor in the hall on my way to the bathroom and was in pain for three weeks

Excellent Indian food! Just moved to the area and we are very happy to have found India Oven, where the service is great, the atmosphere is very nice, and the food is delicious! read more

Save your time and money...you can do much better! Disappointing in all respects. Tired, dim and grimy storefront and decor, long wait time, arrogant and indifferent service, food not fresh, all filler, lukewarm and soggy, small portions, high price for the value given, staff arguing with each other, kitchen seems disorganized. Buyer beware -- do not celebrate an important or special event here -- avoid disappointment and embarrassment. Sadly, I won't return. read more

Delicious food! If you are interested in gluten-free, dairy-free Indian cuisine, speak with the owner and he will accommodate you. Highly recommended. read more

So the three words that would best describe this challenging experience would be, "No" "Hmmm Mmmm" and "Blech" .... equally fitting would be "Why?", "Stop" and "Don't".... The food was extremely gross. I would've strongly suspected that they injected what appeared to be the brightest, oddest, weirdest looking food coloring into the chutney's and "mango lassi" (sorry, they don't get to officially call this a mango lassi so they're getting quotes) except, I don't believe they made the chutney's and think that they instead thawed them in a plastic container in the kitchen. The chutney was also disgusting so it was the perfect accompaniment to the food. It was like everything I ate was some off version of what it was supposed to be. Even the bread was bad..... Back up and re-read that last sentence.... Even the bread.... I don't trust an Indian restaurant that can't nail down unleavened bread. If you've never had Indian food before this may be for you, but if you've ever even heated up a prepackaged or canned Indian meal, pass, this place will disappoint. It all just tasted like an amateur, non-Indian cooks best attempt at Indian food. At one point I even asked a server where they were from because I was expecting him to say, "Kirklaghastan".... The decor is dated, the restaurant is not well maintained and the food is absolutely disgusting. Do yourself a favor and pass. read more

Excellent!! Better than a lot of places in San Francisco.

We went there for the first time tonight. Thought it was closed because it was totally empty. My husband wanted to turn around, he thought it was a bad sign. Glad we didn't. The service was awesome and the food was equally good. We ordered chicken vindaloo, naan, chicken makhani and the shrimp tandoori. I would def order them all again but want to go back and try something new. read more

Service has always been disinterested here. You get the feeling they would rather be elsewhere. That said, the food is good Indian food. As is typical in Indian restaurants though the lamb will be overcooked. They just don't get that lamb needs to be a little pink on the inside for there to be flavor. All other dishes we have tried have been good. Your best bet is to take the food home. That's what we do. read more

We love this place. The food is quite authentic and prepared with care. The owners are in the kitchen every day and the recipes are handed-down from the family. We have dined here on several occasions and every dish we have tried has been excellent. This is without doubt the best Indian food in the county, served in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more
