As a frequent diner at Kinaara, this experience was in line with all others: exceptional. The onion kulcha was truly outstanding—not to be missed. The new bread baker has hit a new high!

The Oven - East

Indian

Lincoln

About the restaurant

The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Over the last several years, the Oven Restaurants has expanded to two other locations and added space to the lower level of the Haymarket location. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere and relaxed vibe of the Cellar, the beautiful sunsets and outdoor patio of the Oven East, or you’re in Omaha for the night to try Himalayas, there are many ways to sample the cuisine of India!

We love The Oven! Great ambiance, great food and our server Karley was excellent! Loved the Meat Samosas & Muligatany soup. Ordered Chicken Tikka with a side of Korma sauce. The rice was not warm however and the sauce was runnier than usual. Good size serving we could share. Sat in a booth area with a bit too much breeze from overhead fan so will opt out of that location in the future. All in all however a delicious dinner and one of our favorite restaurants.
