"I've never been inside the restaurant so I can't attest to the indoor ambiance, however I have ordered online on a few occasions. After my last order, I won't be coming back. We ordered the tandoori chicken, for $20, we got four pieces of chicken and about five cups of onions. For the order of Naan, at $5, we got one piece cut in half. Not a basket of naan, but literally one piece. We also ordered the aloo gobi, while good, it was $20 for essentially cauliflower and potato in sauce. In addition, we ordered the lamb curry, which came in a very small container. The lamb meat was very tough and chewy, and should have been slow simmered for hours until tender as with any braised meat. The total cost of the meal after tip was $83. The cost was outrageous for a scant amount of food, I've been to many Indian restaurants in my day, typically a price that high would feed my family with huge portions and served family style with many condiments, with leftovers for the following day. The only thing that wasn't scant in serving was the rice, which I can make at home for free. The food tasted ok, but I definitely regretted the impulsivity of my decision to get Indian for dinner. The wait time for these scant proportions was over an hour, and we picked the order up ourselves. Based on the price and time waiting, the value was low. I understand that rents and inflation are high, but I felt the cost was not worth the purchase. I'm noticing a trend in EDH where the food is subpar in quality and scant serving size with a high cost. If business owners like at India Oven don't start to realize that people will stop coming altogether unless the value matches the cost, then they will likely go out of business."

I’ll start by saying that the staff are wonderful and I want this restaurant to succeed but to me the food was blah compared to other restaurants. Maybe my taste buds we’re having a bad night.

The quality of the food has declined significantly. We used to really enjoy the meals when the restaurant first opened, but today's food was quite disappointing and nearly inedible, including the naan. We won’t be coming back.

I made a spontaneous decision to bring my party of 20 to this restaurant, and I was bracing myself for irritation or poor service. However, to my delight, they handled us perfectly! We were seated right away, greeted with smiles, and received attentive service throughout our visit. Our food arrived promptly with no long waits, which is remarkable for such a large group. I was pleasantly surprised!

We just walked into this place on a weekday. They were fully staffed with well mannered waitstaff ready to take care of us.The staff was pleasant friendly. They even gave some complimentary Lassi to my 2-year old and were super nice to her.Food was good to taste. Quantities were sufficient. We overall loved the Goat Curry Biriyani.We would come back again again because these guys have the best staff, best ambience good food in El Dorado Hills. View menu

10/10, this is one of the best Indian restaurants! The food is full of flavor, authentic and they provide amazing customer service. Thank you to all the workers, they all work so efficiently together and go above and beyond for their customers. We ordered, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan and tandoori chicken. (I'll post pics of what I took, unfortunately once everything got there my focus was on eating so I forgot to take pics of everything else.

I picked up a mild chicken curry with rice and garlic naan bread yesterday for a late lunch. However, after a few bites, I discovered that it was actually spicy instead of mild, which was what I had requested, so I couldn’t eat it. The rice was hard and either undercooked or just old and dried out. The naan bread was soggy and not edible. I paid $28 for this lunch, and it’s still sitting uneaten in my fridge. I won’t be returning to this restaurant.

This was my first time really trying indian food and I LOVED it!!! The food was SO GOOD and I have absolutely no complaints. The service was incredible and our waiter, Sanjay was fabulous! It was my birthday and they even brought me a little cake on a plate that had happy birthday written on the plate with hot sauce. ? Needless to say, my day has been made and I can't wait to go here again. I will literally never stop raving about this place. I had to edit my review to say that the only complaint I had is that Sanjay didn't believe I was turning 20- he thought I was around 10 or 12 years old. ? View menu

June 1, 2023: Today, I had an obsessive hankering inhaling Indian Cuisine; I didn't want driving towards Davis CA or Sacramento CA because I reside in Placerville. So with considerable deliberation, the best, convenient restaurant eating Indian Cuisine enroute to Placerville would be none other than India Oven located in El Dorado Hills CA via Latrobe and Highway 50.Please keep in mind, I have eaten at the India Oven Restaurant located in Vacaville CA via Highway 80, Arco Gas Station, and the Nut Tree/Vacaville Shopping Outlets, i.e., I'm quite familiar with India Oven's menu and Indian Cuisine.Plus, it's wonderful I have my daughters' personal friend, Guri who was born and raised in India w...

My family orders take away from Indian Oven (EDH location at least two times a month and whenever my husband and I go out to eat, this is our sit down spot! Safe to say, we 've eaten food from here over 25 times. I had some time over this holiday weekend so thought I would give some love to our fave local Indian!Let me start by saying, I am a Bay Area native and my husband is an ex pat Brit so we have very high expectations for Indian Food! Firstly, the food is delicious and very consistant! We typically order the same things 90% of the time here 's our typical order: Aloo Gobi (potatoes and cauliflower Chicken Curry (chicken thigh? with a traditional gravy curry Chicken Tikka Masala (kids l...
