The first Oven Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, has been around since 1988 and owned/operated by a dedicated family of chefs who have been creating Indian cuisine for over twenty seven years. 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. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere to the relaxed vibe of the Cellar, we have what you want!

    Delicious, as always! We had samosas, mulligatawny soup, and chicken bhuna. Service was friendly and attentive without intruding. The dining room does get noisy making it a little difficult to hear conversation. But will definitely be back

    Our server was super nice and the food was super good. We ate outside, so it was a little noisy, but still comfortable. I’d definitely recommend their spinach dip, it is the best I’ve ever had.

    Our dinner guests, who had never dined at Billy's, were very pleased with their experience at Billy's. The server was amazing, remembering our names and drinks of choice from only one previous time she had served us. We, as well as our guests were happy with the food and service. Chef Nader even created a custom meal for one of us. Billy's is a great, quiet, and cozy place to enjoy your evening.

    JTK has great food and drinks, and very good service. The decor is nice, but it seems too bright. The ambiance could use something…maybe darken the room and add candles to the tables?
