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.

9 months ago, we ordered takeaways from the Indian Oven and were extremely disappointed by the watery, thin sauces, lacking the depth of exquisite flavours we were accustomed to from the same place. I wrote a review expressing our disappointment. The owner Neil, responded most graciously, apologizing for the slip in quality and offered us meal replacements when it suited us. Tonight was the first opportunity we had and were very pleasantly impressed by Neil, who, despite the lapse of many months, sincerely and warmly, followed up on his offer. We had a Dal Makhni and and a Vegan aubergine curry, both of which were superb. Excellent turning around and handling of a negative experience. Thank you Neil, we'll be back

My family and I have frequented this restaurant numerous times and we have always enjoyed really authentic indian food. The Chicken Tikka is amazing and the curry's are always really tasty and plenty of the right spices.

I would thoroughly reccomend this restaurant and Neil and Debbie are the finest hosts.

You will not be dissapointed.

Outstanding, authentic food. A vast menu to choose from including lots of vegan options which is a bonus these days. The portions are extremely generous ( we needed a doggy bag to enjoy the next day!) and the service was outstanding. Prices are very good too!
Covid rules are firmly in place but not stifling. Tables are well spaced and the restaurant is open with lots of natural airflow so we felt very at ease.
This restaurant has risen to the occasion and is going the extra mile to keep scarce patrons coming back. Well done!
