Wow what a nice surprise! Fist time in Hout Bay, spotted the Indian Oven and thought we’d give it a try, we ordered the veggie sharing platter to start and my gosh it was delicious, lots of yummy food! We then had the palak panner and methi panner, they were both a yummy. The staff were amazing and very attentive and we both had a great evening. We will be defo be going back!

Super authentic Indian food, naan bread exceptional.
Despite local power load shedding they managed to present our food promptly, top marks to them.
Hi V3001ZUmartins,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and the Tripadvisor community. We're so happy to hear that you had a good experience, especially during load shedding, and look forward to having you again.
I had lunch at this place today and encountered the worst womitting withing a few hours. Its was by far my worst expirience in SouthAfrica, and the only one.
Please beware. I also alarmed the police, but the said i need so see a doctor in order to get my blood tested, so the can shut down this place!!
Hi Danielo
I am sorry to hear of your bad experience of being ill however this was in no ways caused by your eating lunch at our restaurant. We operate and have for more than 5 years with the highest hygiene standards and without incident. In fact the couple sitting next to you on the day you had lunch, have since been back twice. I find it highly unacceptable that you have targeted my restaurant when you could have felt ill or picked up a virus from various other sources especially while travelling. It's also disappointing that you did not have the decency to contact me personally before writing this unsubstantiated allegation.
Kind regards
Neil & Debbie
We took a My Citi bus from Sea Point to Hout Bay just so we could eat at The Indian Oven again. Such great food!!!! And terrific service - always a good sign to see servers still working in a place more than a year later.
On this visit, my husband had the lamb korma, I had the lamb madras, with basmati rice and garlic naan. This was by far the best lamb we've had anywhere in South Africa. So incredibly tender and flavourful. We started with tandoori prawns which were fabulous!
All of our food was incredibly tasty and fresh. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. Terrific service. I think we'll probably head back for one more meal. We wish we could clone The Indian Oven and bring them to a few other countries on the continent.
And...they stay open during load shedding. The kitchen operates mostly on gas, so with the exception of a few dishes, everything else is available.
to go to for friendly service, excellent food and pleasant surroundings. We always enjoy the medium curry it's nice and spicy but you can still taste the ingredients.
