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.

This welcoming Indian restaurant serves Indian and 'South African' Indian food such as bunny chow and Durban style curry. Highly recommended are the vegetarian main coursesand chef's special dishes with fenugreek. Portions are generous and prices reasonable.

The biryani we had was not up to satisfaction, average as well as the curry.
The restaurant and their foods don’t Iook inviting to me this visit.
personally think they use to do much better. Since there’s a few more Indian restaurants keep coming up in and around Hout Bay, this restaurant themself need to do better to stand out amongst the others or at least keep us coming back.

We were invited to join some friends at The Indian Oven in Hout Bay. Not dining out on that side of the mountain much, we had no idea what to expect!
What a gem of a place. Very non-descript from the street, but so lovely as soon as Neil opens the doors and welcomes you. He and Debbie were amazing hosts, and their attentiveness made for a memorable evening.

The food was sublime and they didn’t falter on a table of 12 people. Prince did an outstanding job keeping up with us, especially for those who had never eaten an authentic curry. (Half the guests were from the USA)

The portions are very decent with most of us not able to finish our meals.

Warning - their Vindaloo is HOT HOT HOT!!

Exceptional value for money
We had all already dived in when we realized we had no photos - but the pics on their Facebook page are exactly as we received our food!

Enjoy

The food, for me was 5 stars but the one thing I might have changed is that the wait for the food was a bit long. Understandably because the food is freshly prepared but it was on opportunity to offer "something while you are waiting". I will be back!!
