India Oven Sacramento

Beautiful buffet selection of well prepared dishes. An exceptional iceberg was the only salad. The table service was frequent and efficient.

I’ve never been a fan of buffets, but they're affordable and my kids were hungry. I appreciated the variety, which included South Indian dishes alongside classic options like Tandoori Chicken. However, the buffet was quite small, and a lot of the food was too spicy for my little ones, so our choices were limited. Additionally, some items, like the bhatura, should be light and fluffy when fresh but didn’t quite hit the mark. The first batch of chicken was dry, but the second batch was much better. So, if you think arriving early guarantees fresh food, think again. The crook was really delicious, but honestly, that alone isn't a reason for us to come back.

I had a frustrating experience at this restaurant. The waiter struggled to understand my order. I requested a substitution, which seemed reasonable since they don't have a no-substitution policy. After discussing it with the chef, the waiter confirmed it would be fine. However, when my dish arrived, it wasn't what I had ordered, so I asked him to take it back and bring me the correct meal. When he returned, it turned out the chef had just added a sauce to the same dish he had prepared earlier. Although the food was edible, it was oddly not what I'd requested, and I don’t plan on returning.

The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive and friendly. I appreciated the buffet, which offered a wonderful opportunity to try a variety of Indian dishes.

I've never been a big fan of buffets, but they are budget-friendly and the kids were hungry. I appreciated the variety, which included South Indian dishes along with classics like Tandoori chicken. However, the buffet was relatively small, and many of the items were too spicy for my little one, which limited our options. Additionally, some dishes don't hold up well over time, such as bhatura that can be light and fluffy when made fresh. The first batch of chicken was dry, but the second batch was much better, so don't assume that arriving early guarantees fresher food. The palak paneer was quite tasty, but it’s not enough to bring us back.
