New India's Oven

Love this place! Disagree with these 1 star people Completely!!! Tandoori chicken was outstanding! The pakoras and samosas...very good and all the dishes came out fast and hot! Every dish was delicious and we highly recommend:)

We had a takeout from this place so I can’t speak to the service or atmosphere. The food arrive fast and hot despite ordering during peak times in a Friday evening. The onion bajis were nice and same with the popodums. The bindhi masala was fresh and the okra was well cooked and was melting in the mouth. Rice was well cooked. The only slight problem was with the lamb dish - it was a bit tasteless and it had no kick to it although we ordered medium spicy. It was also under seasoned. I’ll probably order again and try something else.

Let’s start with the food. For context, I am Indian, grew up eating Indian food. The food is forgettable, bland, nothing to write home about. Not terrible, but certainly not the best and definitely not worth the TERRIBLE service. Let’s get into it! My toddler has never been charged to eat at a buffet. We’ve gone to dozens over the years and have never once been charged for his plate. We never make him a plate, rather we typically will give him a piece of bread or a spoon of rice and split our dessert with him. Today of all days he decides he wants to try the chicken so we put the chicken on our plate, then got a spare plate and cut the 3 little pieces we gave him on it. I also put his piece of bread, a tablespoon of rice and a piece of potato on the plate. Just ate the chicken. The server only came to our table twice in the 30+ minutes we were there - once to drop off bread then a second time to tell us that if we come back again and put my kids food on a separate plate we’ll be charged the champagne buffet price for my kids meal. Neither of us even took the champagne our buffet meal came with, we opted for water. The server never asked how the food was, never checked in, never asked if we wanted more bread or water, and waited until the end to clear the plates once they were piled up. Spent the whole time on his phone. He was rude, so when I paid the bill and left NO TIP because the service was TERRIBLE (and made sure to write that so he was aware since he scattered like an ant once I asked for the check)he followed me out to our car and tried to argue with me about it. So unprofessional. I explained and he was so defensive, so I told him have a great day, got in the car and left. In this economy there are SO MANY better tasting buffets to go to. Which was clearly where everyone else seemed to be - place was practically empty the whole time we were eating! Definitely skip.

Recently, dining at New India's Oven in Venice Beach, LA was a pleasure. The owners were friendly and welcoming, and there was ample parking available. The food was delicious! Even without being an expert in Indian cuisine, it was clear that the flavors were spot on. The unique spices used in the dishes really added to the experience. Overall, it was a great experience. New India's Oven should definitely be visited by anyone looking for a tasty and authentic Indian meal, with friendly owners to make them feel at home.

Worst food ever & the service was ok. We ordered papri chaat,chicken biryani, garlic naan, paneer tikka masala, kebab thali, and gulab jamun. Chicken biryani was like sweet rice with few chicken pieces. Garlic naan & Paneer tikka masala were ok, kebab thali was horrible, and gulab jamun was served cold. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful food with wonderful service! My girlfriend and I have come here twice and the server remembered us and even the dishes that we ordered! It's very inviting and the atmosphere is very comfortable. If you're unfamiliar with Indian food, you'll want to get a dish, add naan bread, and add rice and you'll have a very filling meal at a reasonable price. The Vegetable Korma is particularly delicious! I also recommend the garlic naan as well. We have yet to try the buffet, but the dinners have been delightful!

A Nightmarish Experience at New India's Oven - Avoid at All Costs and Stay away! Planning to dine at New India's Oven? Save yourself the agony and don't make this mistake. Our visit was an utter disaster from start to finish. The food was devoid of any taste and seemed like it had been reheated from leftovers. The chicken chilies were the worst I've ever had—rubbery, flavorless, and utterly inedible. The chicken tandoori, which we were looking forward to, turned out to be a complete joke—dry, overcooked, and lacking any of the signature spices that make this dish a favorite. We were a group of 12 people, and from the moment we walked in, the service was excruciatingly slow. Despite our initial reservations about the speed, we hoped the food might redeem the experience, but it only made things worse. This was, without a doubt, the most appalling meal I've ever had. The entire experience was a nightmare, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Do yourself a favor and avoid New India's Oven—there are far better places to enjoy a meal.

Great buffet, it is home cooked type of Indian food. What Indians traditionally eat on a daily basis. Very healthy and not much salt or oil in the food. Some people left reviews saying the food is bland, I understand what they’re saying but honestly this is what everyday Indian food is like. You can add the chutneys on top that are available in the buffet for free to enhance the taste. Lovely food and service and the salads are great too and so re the sweets

Visiting LA for the first time and meandered into New India's Oven by happenstance but now it's feeling more like fate. Absolutely famished from venturing this bussling city, I was elated to see the words "all-you-eat." With the smooth automation of a regular, I grabbed a plate like I was raised here. Whereas the array of food available was as diverse as it was appetizing, I stuck to business and loaded enough rice and butter chicken to crack the bottom of my plate. The server gracefully made his rounds, never allowing my glass to subcede half, all with the poise of India's finest, and without judgment of my gluttony. Hours passed like seconds as my mouth became a haven for the rich creamy flavor, and by the time I realized I was satisfied, I had 4 plates stacked in front of me like wounded soldiers. Terrified of this City's notoriously high prices, I hobbled over to cashier to pay my dues. $17.95.

I'm always on the hunt for a good local Indian spot to add to my list. I read reviews about this place & was excited to try it. Got some "basics" to see how it measures up to some tried & true spots. Ordered chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, garlic naan and vegetable samosas. Requested medium spicy in my pickup order. Literally zero spice and no flavor. The chicken tikka masala was "tart," like literally almost as if someone put a hint of lemon or lime!! And I didn't know anyone could mess up garlic naan but guess what, you can. Samosas were okay but overly fried. Literally the green sauce that came with the samosas had the most spice out of everything I ordered. Very disappointed and also very hungry still.

It's a beautiful restaurant, conveniently located in a strip mall (easy parking!). We came for the All You Can Eat lunch buffet, available every day. It's $15.95 Monday-Friday and $17.95 for Champagne brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Brunch is 11:30am - 3pm every day. A good selection of entrees, sides salad and even a few desserts. I needed two plates to try everything I wanted. My favorites were the Vegetarian Curry and the fritters. I apologize for not knowing the Indian dish names. The Tandoori Chicken and (spinach) Saag were disappointing. One friend agreed the chicken was dry without much flavor. Overall both of my friends liked the AYCE brunch more than me. I expected spicier, tastier food. I definitely ate my money's worth. Service was good and other customer's' sizzling entrees smelled great. If I go again, I'll order a la carte.

5 for freshness and speed! 4 only because the Tikka Massala is more tomato-y than I like. It's good and I ate it all, but next time I'd add a little yogurt. The pea pilauf rice with cashews raisins and peas was good. Had a tinge of a salty taste, the cashews were a little softer than what I'm used to and the raisins were sparse but it was very fresh! The garlic naan was perfection! I love my naan soft warm and slightly crispy on edges and it was just that. I'd come back. Especially around 4:30-5 before the dinner rush when they can serve you quickly bc it's so fresh! Great for groups, tons of parking, casual environment t and chill vibe.

Always a great meal here whether it be takeout or dine-in. Our favorites are Chicken Tikka Masala, Bengan Bhartha, Malai Kofta, Lamb Chops. We try a different dish each time we dine there and have never been disappointed. The hot sauce is also amazing but can get very hot! I can't remember when we started coming here but it's definitely been more than a decade. The owners are very friendly and are just good people.

It was my first time here and it was pretty good! We were seated immediately and the service was nice and friendly. It wasn't too busy. The place was clean and bigger than I thought. They have a lunch buffet which I may check out some time. We got the veggie samosas which came out fast. They were hot and tasty. I got the Complete Dinner with Fish Curry. It was very tasty. Next time, I wouldn't do the complete dinner though, as the Fish Curry portion is smaller since it also comes with daal, saag, paneer, yogurt and dessert. The fish was the best and other side dishes were just okay. I'd come back to try more of the main dishes.

This place is my favorite spot for Indian food! Great customer service. And even better food. The tiki masala is my favorite we get it every time and try new dishes too and never disappointed.

I've been coming here for years it's the BEST Indian food in the area! I love their tandoori chicken, lentils, cabbage, and chicken tiki marsala and especially love the fact they can make the food taste good without making the dishes too heavy with butter and cream. It's a must 1x per week and if I was in the area during the week I could eat here everyday!! The service is always impeccable and their faces are always smiling. It's also very easy to have privacy here when with family, we love the authentic ambiance. A+ Long live New India's Oven!

Only person in the restaurant. The waiter stood in very audible distance farting out load while I was eating. Disgusting. It happened several times.

Very good food the lunch buffet is not bad for the price its worth it love Indian food

Tried their fish masala curry. It was delicious! It is a mild curry with tomatoes and cream. It did not come with rice or any other accompaniments. I had to order rice separately. Their raita was great! Their delivery was prompt.

This place is run by a couple of really great brothers. I've gone been going there for 8 years. Whether it's the lunch Buffett with my my friends or take out on a Thursday, I'm always thinking about this place. The food is a really flavorful and cooked to perfection. The tandoori chicken and vegetable pakoras are my GF's favorite. Go there in-person too! It's a big dining room and a few tables outside. Say hi to Manjeet!! He's great!

Omg I ordered Uber eats delivery...my first time having the wings or any of the food....delish delish delish...the wings though...I've never had anything like these. I'll be back for sure!

Whoa! Incredulous, bizarre experience. After I sat down, the owner came over and said in a confrontational way, "I know you. You wrote a Yelp review." Uh-oh, and all I wanted was a quiet, peaceful lunch. I was lost for a moment. He said, "You said Indians like cash." {Benefit of doubt: The things that were said to me perhaps don't register here as being offensive and inappropriate. Like his parting shot when I tried to pay for my lunch, "I don't want your money." Most people would take that as an insult. A lot of things were said that in today's world would be labelled with incendiary, often political descriptors. I hope what I experienced today is not what the owner(s) think of their customers and our society at large.} WTF????? I indicated I was leaving and made clear that I would never make such a remark. Then he said something like, "It was about your credit card." Then I recalled and blurted out, "That was 5 years ago." Didn't faze him in the least. He needed to show me how wrong I was 6 + (as it turns out) years ago. He repeated the slur about Indians. I got up and thought best to go, but then asked him if he thought people think that or maybe it was his thinking (projection), and shook his hand and asked if he intended to poison me. I filled a buffet plate at his asking. I looked up the review and called him over. He read it with care and still felt I had said something about the Indian people, which I would never do - just for starters. He eventually said maybe he confused it, but nonetheless still seemed upset with me and clearly unapologetic for either today or years back; unclear the point he was trying to make - maybe to him as well. I pointed out that I had called my bank for him unnecessarily and he had said she was lying. He said today, not you lying, the bank! I said that he said the woman at my credit card company was a liar. Then he began to explain why he was right - now understand, it's 6 years later!!!! - and he still thinks she was lying even though my card went through. Yikes! What was the point he was trying to make? And much more so, why???? He then harped on the fact that I said he had embarrassed me by yelling across the restaurant from his machine many times, while now he was still trying to pretend that none of this happened or he was somehow justified then. But what about today's behavior? Double Yikes! What was I doing here?, I thought. This is too f-in weird to have happened - again; 6 years - nearly 7 - later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do yourself and the owner a favor if you are a discerning diner and sensible person. Go to Akbar, Divani, Taj, Tadoor-A or many other choices. I know great food in and around Beverly Hills, too. BTW - If you read my old reviews you will see that I and my family supported this place for many years. And you could read the review about him trying to reject my credit card, not realizing even today that his behavior was wrong then and even more wrong today. How can you own a restaurant and behave this way? And now, I know a bit about Indian food; this is quite ordinary stuff, if not better labeled 'Americanized Indian style', but palatable mostly. I think one time many years back I became ill.

I love the chicken tikka masala. Simply the best I've had. Always consistent with the taste and quality of all their dishes.

New India's Oven is a nearby & delicious way to satisfy my Indian food cravings! Recently, my friend and I had dinner there, once again & usually order the same dishes to share. Vegetarian Plate & Sides: My go-to dish; a tray full of deliciousness! We also order the Okra dish, It's spicy as requested and full of flavor & spices! which is one of my favorite dishes. The Vegetable Samosas are hearty & filling as well, yum. Plus, I love the colorful & flavorful dipping sauces! Yum! Naan: Both garlic & plain naan are delicious, always hot and fresh. Heat: Normally I can handle the heat, but be sure to choose wisely when selecting the level of spiciness! Haha! I usually select medium heat, but often I've tried full on spicy and my mouth felt like it was on fire & my eyes even watered...but the yogurt definitely cools down the heat! Overall: Customer service is always friendly. I love the low lighting, as well as the dinnerware. The food is spicy and delicious with every single visit; keeps me coming back for more!

Love new India's oven. Great Indian food, great service (everyone is very friendly), and with very convenient parking. Highly recommend the weekday lunch buffet. Only about $12 and it has all of your favorites and then some. Can't beat that price!

I tried this place once, years ago, and remember being not happy. However, my husband and I were on the hunt for a new spot to try and decided to give them another go, last month. Unfortunately, the food is not it. Our sauces were watery with next to no flavor--and we requested spice. Service was friendly, but also a little lacking. We won't be back.

Great tasting, richly flavored Dal. Prices are reasonable and the food is amazing. This place was not packed but busy in a good way!

I love the food her sooo much!! The service was also amazing, the servers helped me get situated really fast and got me food to me very fast too. The vibe was also very chill and calm, it was truly amazing. I would recommend their food to everyone, and they are family owned!!! WE LOVE LOCAL BUSINESSES!! You all should really try it out because it is a 10/10 for me!

I've always seen this place, but never ate at it until my friend got take out there and I tried like 4-5 dishes. I really liked it so I got delivery via Postmates a couple of times. I like all their food. I've tried their wings, their mango lassi, chicken tikka, etc. I would def try their other dishes and if they have outdoor seating, I would love to eat there too. I like the spice level here. I can't do too spicy, but I like some heat. I'm more of the Tabasco, Tapatio, kimchee, salsa level of spicy vs burning my mouth type.

This place is very "meh" especially when it's in LA and there's tons of Indian Food options. My husband got Ubereats from here, which had a buy one entree get a second free (which should have been a clue). The positives are that the portions are a good size. However, the entrees don't come with rice, you have to purchase it separately. I really wish places would start making that very clear on their menus and especially on their online or ubereats menus. We didn't order rice because we didn't know, but lucky we had rice at home that I quickly whipped up. What we ordered: My husband got 2 chicken curries and I got the veggie korma (which on their chef specials menu), we also got 2 orders of veggie samosa and 2 orders of plain naan. Samosas: First of all, I am a sucker for samosas, so I was pumped. The samosas were pretty average to below average, the potatoes were a mushier consistency than I'm used to and were pretty bland. The green chutney had an odd, almost, chemical taste and clearly had food coloring added because is was bright green. Naan: It was pretty average to below average too. Once it lost its heat it was so brittle and thin that it was basically a cracker. Veggie Korma: I've been on a veggie korma kick for the last year and had my fair share, this was the worst I've ever. It had tofu in it, which I've never had come in it. But it's not the unexpected tofu that turned me off, it's the mushy, flavorless consistency and how much of it had broken up in the gravy, creating a very lumpy texture. The gravy was pretty bland itself too and there was very large chunks of potatoes (another veggie I haven't experienced in veggie korma). Chicken Curry: I'm actually not a chicken curry fan, I find it to have too much tomato taste and I don't like the runny consistency. With that being said, I thought it was the best of our all the other things we got. It had a faint tomato taste, but was pretty well flavored. My husband liked it. However, the chicken was a bit dry and chewy.

The weekend buffet is the best bang for your buck! Unlimited tikka masala and tandoori chicken? Sign me up every weekend! The weekend lunch buffet also comes with drinks. I've only tried the mango lassi and champagne. Not sure if it comes with other drinks. There is never a wait. Come at any time and there will always be tables available. I would say that their star is the tandoori chicken!! I've had tandoori chicken at other Indian restaurants before but New India's Oven does tandoori chicken the best!! All of the other dishes are delicious as well but the tandoori chicken is my favorite! Parking: huge parking lot with free parking

The food is so good! My parents go there regularly. And every time I visit my parents... we make a point go at least once. Lunch buffet is a feast. Dinner is a real treat! Love the Kashmiri lamb chops The staff is attentive. Unpretentious ambiance. Parking is the easiest!!

Top Notch Food! Went to try the lunch buffet, and boy did I eat way too much. LOTS of options on the buffet (all of them delicious, but slightly spicy), fantastic price, very attentive service, and free parking. The appetizers and naan were great, the entrees were great, the side sauces and raita were delicious, and the dessert (especially the gulab jamun) was fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone who loves wholesome and traditional Indian food. I am stuffed and need a nap.

I've been seeing this place since I was a child when I went on my barnes and nobles run with my family and now I'll be turning 30 this year! I finally was able to try New Indias oven a few months ago and it's really good . It doesn't take long to get seated but it can take a while to take ur order! Really good food and I've been back more than once since !

I really don't like to give poor ratings to restaurants because I know how hard it is to run and manage. While the service is attentive and efficient, the food is sadly lacking in flavor. The dishes are very bland- perhaps suitable for the average American palate, but if you are looking for authentic Indian food, this is not it. The Chana and chicken curry shared the exact same sauce. The saag paneer was missing the paneer and the spinach was bland. i Wanted to love this place because I haven't been to an Indian restaurant for a long time, but this was not worth the trip. I wish them the best and hope they can up their game.

I'm no Indian cuisine specialist. So I cannot say if it is the way it should be. But, I always find it tasty and authentic. In this day and age, when most restaurants are gauging clients with insane prices, it is refreshing to find great food at a decent price. This family restaurant always makes you feel welcomed on top of it! Highly recommended.

This place is solid! I've never been in person but we ordered takeout from here the other night. The food has excellent flavors and they have a good selection. We tried the chicken tikka masala and the kashmiri lamb chops, both of which were delicious! The lamb chops were somewhat of a small portion for the price and had we not gotten rice and garlic naan, I definitely would have still been hungry. For the chicken tikka masala, if you like spicy, I would recommend going spicier than medium, which is what we got. It definitely was not too spicy. The garlic naan was very tasty and a nice addition to our meal. Also, the side basmati rice is plenty for two people - we mistakenly ordered 2 thinking they were single serving so we have leftovers. Overall, I would recommend to anyone who likes Indian food!

I'm really disappointed in this restaurant. I ordered vegetable tikka masala (delivery through ubereats) and I didn't realize until I took a few bites that it was chicken tikka masala, and I'm a strict lifelong vegetarian. I feel disgusted. I called the restaurant and politely explained the mistake and it didn't seem that they were remorseful at all, just asked me to pick up a replacement or deal with it with ubereats. This isn't a mistake that should ever happen.

So happy I finally tried New India's Oven. I ordered the tandoori dinner special that included sheesh kabab, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, lamb botikabab, saag paneer, basmati rice, naan and a generous portion of raiti all for $20. I was overwhelmingly impressed with all the meats- especially the tandoori chicken. Everything was super tender, full of flavor and most of all spicy! (I did request everything spicy). Lastly- a sixth star for a beyond friendly staff. I'll definitely be back!

i absolutely love this place! i've lost count of how many times i've come here this year. their menu has phenomenal options, you can choose the level of spiciness & they for sure has something for everyone. i always make sure i have food to bring back home & when you heat it up it literally tastes the same as it did at the restaurant which is rare for me. the service is wonderful, everyone that i have interacted with has been more than welcoming & sweet. thank you for providing this glorious food!! i am looking forward to next time, my mouth is already watering as im writing this review

Best India food in Marina del rey. Fresh and delicious. I took my wife and inlaws here. They were very happy with this place.

So good!! I've been here a few times and the service is always friendly, reasonably fast, and the food is delicious. I've tried the chicken tikka masala, lamb biryani, lentil soup, naan, and roti and I've loved all of it. If I lived in the area I would be here every week.

The Buffet was amazing and the lady's customer service was very welcoming. I'm not sure if this is a new ownership from 2014, but this was an amazing experience and good selection of indian food from the last time we were here. This time was a pleasure to eat here.

Dined in today for lunch 2/3/23. I called before coming over to ask if they had a buffet today and the gentleman who answered was cold and unfriendly. I said thank you and he just hung up the phone. But we were craving Indian food so we decided to go. The same gentleman greeted us with his non smiling and unfriendly service even though we walked in smiling and eager to eat. We proceeded in and began to scope out the food. The food looked good. We really enjoyed the tikka masala chicken. It had a good thick sauce and the chicken could be tender but we enjoyed it. They also had chicken curry which we enjoyed as well. I like that they offer white rice. The other Indian restaurant we go to only offers yellow rice. Their options weren't a lot like the other restaurant we go to in Westwood but good enough. We also liked that the food wasn't too spicy and they don't overdo the flavor. Their nan bread is also just ok. They didn't ask if we wanted a different flavor. We normally get garlic nan. The ambiance was good, the restaurant felt and looked clean. Not too many people dining in during lunch time. The gentleman and the lady that was there never came to check on us, didn't refill our water and didn't clean out used plates. We'll come back bc it's convenient, plenty of parking and it's affordable. Just wish the people were nicer and welcoming. We appreciate a good service with friendly staff which is more memorable than food, sometimes.

I LOVE this restaurant!! I swear no other Indian restaurant tops this one. The ambiance, food, smell, music and the owners are all the PERFECT combination. Every time I think of their food, my mouth begins to water. This place is delicious beyond words. PLEASE. TRY IT FOR YOURSELVES, then come back and say thank you for the referral ;) I swear you'll want to come back every chance you get. ENJOY :-)

Always a great selection of my favorites! I just wish they were more generous with the naan.

I used to work at an Indian restaurant, so I can vouch for the great food there. It's a cozy, family-owned place with no frills - just come for the good food and friendly vibe. They also have a tempting buffet!

No buffet yet, but that actually turned out to be a good thing for me. While my girls and I enjoyed their buffet in the past, many of the dishes were too spicy for me. I am a wimp and can't handle the spice. Having to order off the menu was a bit daunting since I'm not too familiar with Indian dishes. So of course I ordered the typical Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani. But then the Lamb Pasanda Nawabi caught my eye. It's described as "Boneless lamb cooked in fresh cream sauce and coconuts. A very mild dish." Ha, something with a spice level I could tolerate. The young man taking my order asked about the spice level for the other dishes and I requested mild. I didn't know that choice was available. I know I'm not getting an authentic experience, but now I can try all the different dishes. All the food was delicious. I think I'm always going to order the Lamb Pasanda Nawabi. The lamb was so tender and the sauce was delicious paired with the rice and naan. I'll be back. If anyone has any recommendations on dishes to try, please let me know.

Came for the lunch buffet. Not good, not bad however will not be returning. Low selection and med/low quality. $15 for the lunch buffet.

So delicious! I don't eat Indian food often so I was unsure of what to order, but when I arrived, there was a lunch buffet special for $14.95, and I got to try many different dishes. Everything was outstanding, hot, and fresh. The Tandori chicken was excellent along with the curries. I really like the chutney too! I highly recommend it and you'll enjoy your meal in a cute place with friendly service. Go try it!

I haven't had that much Indian food but I hav to say for the ones I have tried in the past, this tops them!! It was super good and service was beyond outstanding. Plenty of items on the menu. Went with a group of 6! We had a great time, food and atmosphere. The owner/server were so nice and kept coming back to fill water and check if we needed anything. I had their chana saag, rice, byriani and naan bread. I highly highly recommended it. It was super delicious there is plenty of parking as well. I will definitely come back soon.

No heat. When I asked for heat, he said to wear your coat. Food was cold & stale. Found hair on the chicken. Brought a cold half a bread in an all you can eat buffet. Won't go back again.

Love their lunch buffets. Kept at a reasonable price post COVID too. Friendly service, consistent comfort food!

Very good exquisite good food and the sandwich is very good and healthy , I love to support this couple that started the business they make delicious food for us to enjoy

Pretty good lunch spot if you're looking for Indian food. Tried the chicken tikka masala which was pretty good. They threw in some extra food don't know if that was from the lunch buffet or what lol. I think the lunch buffet is $15 or something. Will maybe try that sometime.

The food is delicious and the service is great. I go every month or so and it's always a good eat.

Best Indian in Marina! Ordered from here randomly after trying a few in the area. The korma is to die for, not too creamy but just creamy enough. The chicken is delicious as well as the lamb. Chicken pakora starter too is incredible. Quick service on delivery too.
