India Oven Eldorado Hills - Mt Aukum

Picked up a mild chicken curry with rice snd garlic naan bread yesterday fir a late lunch. After a few bites I realized it wasn't mild but spicy after I had asked for mild so couldn't eat it. The rice was hard and either undercooked or just old and dried up? The naan bread was soggy and inedible. I paid $28 for this lunch and its still sitting in my fridge uneaten. Will not be going back there again.

Food hasGone down hill... we used to love the food when it opened. Todays food was very sub par, almost inedible including the naan.We won't be returning.

After making a spontaneous decision to show up here with my party of literally 20 people, I expect irritation at best and bad service at worst but they don't even miss a beat! Sat us immediately, all with smiles and wonderful attentiveness. Got our food in a timely manner, No ridiculous waits for such a large group. Nothing. Pleasantly surprised!

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.

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.
