Forget any preconceived notion of where one can find good Indian food. The Indian Oven is one of…read morethe absolute best Indian restaurants I've been to in my life. In fact I'm hesitant to share because if I have to wait for a table at a restaurant which sits next to an abandoned and boarded up "food store" (that is literally the signage next to 'restaurant' which is for Indian Oven), then I may be somewhat unpleasant to deal with. We started with Aloo Tikki with Channa and Chili Paneer. The Channa was nice and peppery (order mild if you're unaccustomed to Indian spice levels), and the Chili Paneer was delightfully tangy. The mains were lamb vindaloo and goat biryani. The goat is on the bone, so be careful. The meat is nice and tender, the sauces are super flavorful without being overwhelming, and while I wasn't super hungry when I came in, I couldn't stop eating until my date made me. If you're in Bakersfield, make the drive.

We needed to eat near Weedpatch Hwy, so checking the Yelp app, I saw this place. It looks like an…read moreold truck stop. There is no sign on the outside other than "Restaurant". Don't let that fool you. It's clean inside. The servers were nice. They took our order promptly. It took a little longer than I thought to bring to our table. But that's not a problem. You know they are making it fresh. We had the Tikki Chicken Marsala. I know little about Indian Cuisine. This tasted good. I loved the spiciness of the sauce. It paired very well with the delicious naan bread. If your east of town and like Indian food, this place is authentic.

We started with the mini samosas which came with a sweet sauce, these are very good and it was for two for me two for the lady. 4/5 stars My wife ordered the butter chicken and the curry chicken with vegetables and rice, ans Naan. The flavor of the butter chicken was good, but with the amount of sauce they give you, there was maybe 2 ounces of chicken in the entire dish -- and I'm probably being generous. It honestly felt more like butter chicken soup than butter chicken,my wife liked it alot.. 3/5 stars for portion 5/5 stars for taste . [ ] My wife enjoyed her rice with vegetables and each plate came with a naan serving and we both gave them they tasted fresh they had garlic sauce that complimented the meal.5/5 stars That said, I've had much better butter chicken and curry chicken in Los Angeles, New York, London and Switzerland for the same money or less and with larger portions of chicken. I thought my rice would be dry,(and I was right) I ordered an extra side of butter chicken sauce for it. Had I known just how much sauce came with my wife's meal, I could have saved a few bills and just used some of hers.1/5 stars for costing me extra cash. The rice was... rice. It didn't seem to have any seasoning or flavor and I found a few crunchy bits. Maybe it had been sitting in the pot a little too long. 2/5 stars The BBQ chicken. I ordered the double BBQ chicken, and unlike most places, it came without sauce. Normally that would have disappointed me, but this turned out to be some of the best BBQ chicken I've had from any Indian restaurant or food truck. First of all, it was made fresh to order. The seasoning on this chicken was carefully crafted by the chef to let each spice stand out without overpowering the others. It was genuinely outstanding, great actually. In fact, it was so good that I came back on another day just to order it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. It was just as good the second time. 5/5 stars just differently amazing. My wife wants to come back, and honestly I was pretty against the idea after the first visit. Still, based on that BBQ chicken alone, I'm willing to give them another full try. If the rest of the menu improves on a second visit, I may come back and update this review with a higher score. Overall: 3/5 stars. There were simply too many lower variables during this visit for me to rate it any higher this time around.

I sometimes stop to get her something at various trucks around the area, but it's usually Mexican food of some sort. They had just recently opened up, and the trailer looks brand new. It's certainly spotless. The owner is very friendly, and always brings out samples of something while I'm waiting for my order. There's big fans and misters on when it's hot, which is a lot of the time here in Bakersfield. A big shady seating area is nice too. If you're into Indian food, you'll be happy here. Everything is so flavorful, the rice, which is Basmati, of course, is perfectly cooked, and the portions are good. We've had the chicken tikka, the paneer tikka, and, of course, the goat curry. I know I like them, and my wife says they're all very well done. She knows more about Indian food than I do, so Ill just say LOTS of flavor. We've had butter naan, and garlic naan, both perfectly done, and my wife says the Lassi is excellent.

I can't stop eating the paneer butter masala (surprising to absolutely no one), and the garlic naan. If you're brave, get it spicy-- it will blow your face off, but in a good way (like a hot kiss instead of a bomb). But be warned-- their drinks come in cans and if it's super hot, you may need to order more than one, lol. I impressed my company by not needing to drink much during my spicy meal, and yes this is a casual heat tolerance brag, I'm sorry! Anyway, the service is really wonderful even if the communication can be a little rusty because I'm a basic monolingual bish. They just want you to enjoy your food and your time with them, so don't be shy and ask questions if you're unsure about something you're ordering. They have vegan and vegetarian options. I've only gone with meat eaters and they have not been disappointed. This is one of the best restaurants in Bakersfield and I'm worried people are totally asleep at the wheel on this one. They deserve your support, they're family run and worthy of your time and money! Other awesome things to try: dal, any breads, egg rolls, any green curry.

We hadn't had chai in the last one week and this tea refreshed our souls. Didn't take any food pictures because we were very hungry. They also have small seating in a real school bus.
