Description: The Indian Oven strives to provide the best possible Indian culinary experience outside of India. Prepared the traditional way in an authentic clay Tandoori Oven our dishes are made fresh daily with ingredients sourced from local markets, farms & suppliers. Situated at the foot of the Chapman's peak drive on the Main road we are right in the center of Hout Bay's 'food court' region providing visitors to the area that all too popular 'foodie' experience. Come try our famous Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala or Palak Paneer. Sauces, Cheeses & desserts are made in house & together with wood fired Naan breads, Rotis & Parathas create the perfect Indian meal. We have Biryanis, Bunny Chows & Rolled Stuffed Roti choices for the adventurous & offer an array of Tandoori starter options such as Chicken Tikka, Lamb Seekh Kebab & Tandoori Mushrooms to name but a few. Try our Samosas, Bhajees (fritters) & Pakora (chilli bites) to start with choices of veg, lamb, chicken or fish. Butter Chicken, Korma & Lababdar options are suitable for those with a lighter taste for the Chilli dish while the Faal, Vindaloo & Bhuna options remain a firm favorite for the lovers of extra hot food. We cater for functions up to 40 people & will deliver free of charge for larger orders to surrounding areas as a home catering option. We serve from 12:00 - 22:00 daily except Mondays & look forward to treating you to the finest Indian dining experience you can imagine. See you soon.

Delicious, tasty, yum yum yum!
Cannot fault food at all.
Service was good, staff friendly.
Restaurant clean and pleasant.
Just needs to do something about the lighting, otherwise it would be a perfect score from me.

I'm NOT one for fiery, hot Indian dishes which cause one to sweat & feel like ones mouth is on fire!! I rather enjoy flavourful, medium spicy Indian fare & The Indian Oven serve 2 dishes which I thoroughly enjoy! As I don't eat red meat, both of these dishes are chicken, viz. BUTTER CHICKEN & CHICKEN KORMA. Served with light, fluffy Basmati rice & accompanied by a garlic or butter naan bread, this is delicious Indian food for me - hugely flavourful, medium-spiced, creamy & rich. My mouth is watering as I type!!
However, if you DO enjoy searing the interior membranes of your mouth, there certainly are dishes on the menu suited to your desired form of torture!!!
Food is consistently good & portions are generous!

Ate here on a couple of occasions during an extended visit to South Africa hence the belated review. First time was in February but we did also eat here at the end of March, with our friend Michel before our return to the UK. Really good food and service. Large portions. Would definitely recommend.

The Restaurant is a little hidden in the last corner of a shopping mall. It is also a hidden gem! Extensive menu with lots of vegetarian dishes and Dome very hot stuff. I had the chicken vindaloo which put me on fire (I was warned by the waiter before...) Some local craft beer washed it down! Attentive service and good value for money.
