" This was an experience to remember! The food was rich and aromatic, I particularly enjoyed the Paneer Butter Masala, which was loaded with flavors. The serving staff was excellent—friendly and helpful, always checking in to make sure we were satisfied. Also, I appreciated the restaurant's efforts to maintain cleanliness amidst the busy atmosphere. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience was not what I had hoped. The service was slow, and it seemed like the waitstaff was overwhelmed. The food itself was good, but nothing to write home about. The paneer was decent, but the spicing wasn’t quite there. I wanted to love this place, but it fell short for me today. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my recent visit, I felt somewhat underwhelmed. The food was decent but lacked the authentic kick that I was looking for. The Chicken Korma lacked the richness and depth of flavor I've had elsewhere. However, the service was prompt and friendly. The decor was quite nice, but I came hoping for that wow factor in the dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to The Oven expecting an extraordinary experience based on the reviews, and I definitely got that. The flavors in the Chickpea Curry were spot on, and the perfect amount of spice made it enjoyable. The ambiance was warm and inviting; I felt comfortable the entire time I was there. I'll be back, for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so much about this restaurant, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype! The Chicken Makhani was phenomenal, with just the right level of spice. The naan was also fresh and soft, complementing the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was quick. I would venture to say it’s one of the top spots for Indian food in Lincoln! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Oven is a place I've been to multiple times and it's consistently good. The Butter Chicken is rich, creamy, and satisifying, and the garlic naan is the perfect side to soak up the gravy. While the place can get busy, the staff keeps things running smoothly. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already. " (*Curated Review*)

" At first glance, The Oven seems like a promising establishment, but I left with mixed feelings. While the server was extremely professional, the food felt lackluster. I tried the Daal Makhani, which lacked the creaminess I expected. The ambiance is nice and cozy, which did uplift the experience somewhat. " (*Curated Review*)
