| - This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the world. I love Indian food, and I've tried countless restaurants over the years -- this one is my absolute favorite. Favorite. Heaven happens in your mouth with each bite.
The service is superb -- my water glass is never more than half empty. The servers bring out piping hot nan just as you run out, and they are all very friendly. The buffet, which is what I always go with since I'm decisively indecisive, is always full of delicious goodness, never set out for too long -- and why would it? This place is always full of people when I come, so the full turns pretty quickly.
For me, their selection is just right. I've read some reviews about the selection being too minimal, but I believe in quality over quantity. I've been to some Indian buffets with wider selections but a severe lack of the yumminess that India Oven provides.
You can tell that love and care goes into each dish. Recently, I tried some sausage that was cooked with the tandoori chicken. I don't even like sausage, and it was delicious.
Even their basic basmati rice is amazing; I could seriously shovel mountains of that stuff into my mouth.
For dessert, I'm a huge fan of their mango and rice pudding. So good and delicately sweet.
To be honest, I don't even know what everything is called, but it's all so flavorful and delicious, my mouth is watering as I'm typing this review.
I marvel at the consistency of their cuisine -- it's always delicious, and it always tastes the same, which is great because that's how I want it to be. I know this because I've been there so many times.
My only complaint is that I wish they had somosas more often -- sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. But, you know, that's a minor complaint. Even if they don't have somosas, I just end up eating something else that's equally delicious.
I highly recommend this place, and every time my coworkers or friends want to go out, I volunteer India Oven. I live in Scottsdale, which is probably a good thing, because if I lived closer, I'd probably go every day and gain a ton of weight. This place always gives me a delightful food coma.
