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!

    Went here for a splurge date, and it was excellent. Good, stellar! Non-alcoholic drinks (were underage), stellar! I got the blueberry tonic. Our server, Molly, was outstanding. She remembered where we were from, gave us plenty of time, even for weird things we wanted to do, and very smooth (warning, that went both ways! For example, she put a bag between us to hide the check, so that was cool, but she also tried to upsell us a lobster tail at one point, so buyer be on your feet is all, they’re very slick and professional). She even took our picture for us! We had a great experience, and the whole ambience, food, and service together made it so much better! The ONLY complaint I have is it is a little cramped and loud. Thank you, Green Gateau!
