Sham India's Oven 🇮🇳

India’s Oven is hands down my favorite go-to Indian restaurant in Los Angeles! Their menu is amazing, and the lunch specials are such a great deal. Everything is cooked to order and always tastes so fresh. My personal favorites are the chicken tikka masala (perfectly spiced and flavorful), the garlic naan (soft, fluffy, and delicious), and their chai(thick, creamy, and just perfect). The owner, Sham is incredibly hospitable and genuinely friendly. He always goes above and beyond to make sure every guest has the best experience. The whole staff is also very welcoming and kind, which makes dining here feel extra special. For anyone looking for Halal food in LA, this is the spot! They serve Halal meat, and the quality is truly top-tier. They also give back to the community a lot and donate food, which speaks to their values. Whether it’s lunch or dinner, I always leave satisfied and happy. I highly recommend India’s Oven, it’s a gem!

This is an authentic Indian restaurant in Brentwood, located on the second floor, so you get somewhat of a view if you sit by the window. Their papadum was delicious, and their onion bhaji was even better. Amazingly seasoned, crunchy batter on the outside and soft on the inside. They're served with tamarind sauce. I recommend the garlic naan and chicken tikka masala: white tender pieces of chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. Only downside is you have to order a side of rice - it seems no dish comes with a side of rice anymore. The atmosphere was great, they played Indiana music to set the vibes. The food came surprisingly fast and fresh - great staff!

Ever since I first had Sham, I’ve loved it! They give you nice portions. Their Dal and butter chicken is especially good. I met the owner and he is also super sweet.

We ordered to go and stayed for a small drink in the restaurant. The restaurant staff were really welcoming and family oriented. I'm pressed as well by the place. it's on the 2nd floor. They pay attention to detail. Their mango drink was delicious. Definitely, if you are around the area, try them out

Possibly the best Indian restaurant experiences in life bc my friend Hajir who knows the best of so many things. I’m so lucky to have wonderful friends like him. It was an amazing dinner over an impressive conversation we always have. Perfect setting for that. Better than Samosa house because of the atmosphere and service, but may be more costly. I don’t know because my friend who is always generous took care of the bill. 💵 But a great vegan chicken dish at Samosa house has a very similar dish just fyi. But not all samosa houses. Also I failed to take a picture of the main dishes which were both plenty and so tasty. Tikka masala was one of them.

This is one of those places where you call them a hidden gem. My very first time here and it won't be last. My husband used to come here all the time and this is my first time. we came with friends and we enjoyed a really delicious dinner, outstanding service, amazing ambiance, very laid back, clean bathroom. They brought us sambosas For each couple on the house. They also brought the vegetarian kabobs if I'm not mistaken. It's definitely hidden and it's like on the second floor of a building but it's so worth a try we had multiple dishes from vegetarian to chicken dishes and they were all absolute delicious. My favorite was the butter chicken. My husband had the karahi chicken, which was really good too. Our friends had their vegetarian dishes from the eggplant to the spinach do any other ones, and they were all absolute licious. We had the tea which was OK. In my opinion I've had better but the rice pudding had an odd taste. The mango dessert was really good. Overall it was amazing and I will return here!

Delicious! We are from out of state and my son really wanted some good Indian food. Service was prompt, and the flavors were amazing! Got the coconut chicken and tikka masala. Naan was soft and pillowy. Highly recommend.

Came in for lunch and they have a really amazing lunch special. Really affordable as well. It included a small portion of the chicken tika masala and it was so flavorful! Definitely want to come back for dinner and get the larger portion.

Food on point as usual ! Don't skip the beryani, so good! Service always amazing and nice and clean . Fair prices as well

I just had a very rude, aggressive encounter with a manager here (possibly the owner?). I'm a delivery driver and I enjoy it most of the time. I go out of my way to be courteous and professional with every employee & customer. I don't know what this man's issue was but he decided to dump his anger onto me. I walked into the restaurant to pick up an order. I was standing in the front area quietly because another driver was being helped by a server. Suddenly this older, aggressive man with a beard and a head wrap walked toward me without making eye contact. He yelled in my direction, "What's the name?!" As I went to lift my phone to show him the order, he held his hand out in front of my face. Signaling me to wait. He then walked over to the counter where the orders were sitting. He then yelled in my direction again, "The name?!" He then lifted up the bag as if he was going to hand it to me and instead dropped it back onto the counter and pointed at it for me to take it. He then stared at me as if he was looking for a reaction from me. I knew at that moment this manager has mental issues and I just took the bag and walked out of there as soon as possible. This person saw an opportunity to be a bully and he took it without hesitation. I don't recommend anyone support this business if this is how he treats drivers, potential customers, and human beings in general.

Delicious Masalas (we had chicken and paneer), lamb vindaloo, and chicken biryani. All of them were packed with earthy flavors that does wonders to your taste buds. The only thing I'd probably want more flavor is the Garlic Naan. It could use a little more kick to it. The Aloo Naan was delicious though! Also, be sure to get the vegetable samosas over the chicken samosas, and don't forget to request the mango chutney, mint chutney, and tamarind chutney!

Shams India Oven was extremely hard to find we walked around for 7 minutes trying to find. It's inside the building on the second story. The inside was gorgeous there plenty of seating and you have a small view that comes with it. The service was good and they made you feel welcomed. The lamb curry was really good. Had tons of flavor and great texture. The lamb was really good and it had a decent amount of it in there. It really well in top of the rice. And had great consistency. Garlic Naan was also good it was nice warm and garlicky. Did everything I expected to do.

I am so grateful to have India's Oven in my neighborhood. The inviting atmosphere, consistently delicious food, and warm staff and owner who treat you like family, make this special restaurant stand out. The lunch special, in particular, is (still) such a fantastic deal! I highly recommend India's Oven to satisfy your craving for wonderful Indian food with a welcoming environment that will ensure your return!

Halal food. Amazing lunch box to go with a little bit of everything. Such a great deal. Fresh clean food. All kinds of delicious rices. My favorite is the Lamb Biryani'.

Amazing food....so delicious!!! And they are so nice there. But, I've been searching for authentic, delicious Indian food for a while and this place is the best. So good and fresh.

This is my go to restaurant in LA!! The chicken tikka masala, vegetable samosas, and garlic naan are delicious! The owner and staff are so kind and friendly and the ambiance in the restaurant is beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant when you're craving Indian food!

Sham's India's Oven is the BEST Indian food in LA! It Every dish is delicious and authentic and the service is amazing. My family's favorite dishes are the samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Lamb Vindaloo. Sham, the owner, is friendly and makes sure everything is made perfectly. We have catered from India's Oven for all our parties, and will never go anywhere else!

Came here around 6pm on a Friday and it was a very chill and comfortable environment. The owner, Rafiq , was so welcoming and kind to us. We found a booth by the window and enjoyed the Chicken Tikka masala and Lamb Hyderabad curry with some garlic naan and two orders of the samosas. Everything was absolutely delicious! Each bite better than the last. By the end I was practically licking the plate . I will be back with friends to share this incredible gem!

Had a hankerin' for Indian food. It was New Year's Eve and I was going to celebrate the evening with my girlfriend by having a FaceTime dinner (long distance relationships are tough on the holidays). My back was out. I only mention this because I'd normally walk the .7 miles to get takeout, but my back was out (due to my impression of 80s aerobic dancing) and I could barely walk to my front door, so carrying a bag of food was out of the question. So, Whitney (that's my special lady friend) was having Indian food in New York so I was going to have the same. And India's Oven had what I needed. On line ordering was easy. I had to make a last minute change and the person manning the phones was cool about my last minute correction. The delivery was on time. Ok, so the food: Solid. Good portions. Made great leftovers. I had the vegetarian thali, potato naan, rice pudding. I've eaten here and had take out from them several times. And I shall continue to eat here. As for my back, it's on the mend. Still in pain, but I'm able to walk my dog (Eddie von Chocula), albeit slowly.

I had visited India's Oven for take out, mainly, and a few times in the restaurant. I hadn't been there in a while since moving to the westside. We always enjoyed the food. I went to pick up our order and gave the information to the owner. He asked for my name and asked me to sit downwind said it would be ready in a minute. I sat down and a few minutes later he brought out a bowl of soup and a few flat, crispy wafers called Papdi Chat, with a sauce, and a small Pellagrino water. It was delicious and just what I needed. I offered to pay for it, but he refused. He was very nice, as he always has been whenever I have visited there. Our food was delicious, and as always we had leftovers, which never last long around our place. Thank you India's Oven for your kindness, service and food. We'll of course keep coming back.

Discovered this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. Wonderful service, complimentary parking available in the basement and the food was amazing. Would definitely try to get back here soon although live out-of-town.

They are kind of hard to see from the street level but we found them inside an unsuspecting building lol very busy with carry outs but we were seated immediately and food was brought out quickly. We ordered a stuffed mushroom appetizer which was boring and we're still not totally sure what it was stuffed with as their was no menu description. We shared a combination plate with butter chicken, lentils, saag paneer, and chicken tikka (you can customize which entree you want for this) but even though our server said it wouldn't be enough for 2 people, it definitely was. We were very full by the end of this meal and it was very tasty. I really loved the samosa

Omg the lunch special is such a good deal, everything is so delicious and flavorful I was pleasantly surprised. Just a bit hard to find, 2nd floor of the building

Rafiq was the absolute best, we will be coming back all of the time. Food was absolutely AMAZING!

NEVER ORDER!!! We waited 40 minutes for our dinner which was to arrive at 9:48pm. It showed they were two minutes from us the. They summarily cancelled our delivery. WTF??? Their support was useless and did nothing. It's too late to get food now!!!! FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT

The food was amazing, come and visit. The service alone was five star, come and visit. The ambiance was sweet and appealing. You should plan a trip and come visit.

As an Indian, I would realistically give this a 3.7 out of 5. The chicken tikka masala was okay, it was a bit more on the tangy side bc of the tomato. I like my chicken tikka masala balanced and extra spicy. The naan is too crispy and a bit burnt. The naan was also cute weirdly. Most places cut the naan into 4 equal parts. This place cut the naan like they were cutting in the dark HAHA. The seekh kabob needed more flavor it felt like it was missing some masalas. Not my favorite place, but was conveniently located nearby my apartment. The ambience was definitely on the fancier side for most Indian restaurants. So make sure to come put together and not in sweats like me and my roommate LOL

My go to takeout on the west side!! The cheese naan, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, basmati rice, vegetable byrani, and veggie samosas are all 10/10.

This place is a hidden la gem located on the second floor of the corporate plaza building. I found out about this place, because of my uncle. They have these lunch specials they offer everyday, you can get a whole meal for 10 dollars! What a steal, and not to mention it's delicious! The service was amazing, very friendly staff and a beautiful place. 10/10 would recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Indian cuisine.

- 3.4/5 - the restaurant is located on the second floor and has a nice layout for large and small group settings. - the waiters were very nice and attentive - the menu is very extensive, with both vegan and vegetarian options. however, this also means that they don't specialize in a particular dish so nothing stood out. - the naan and garlic naan were both standard but i would have preferred a fluffy/ chewier texture. the rice was nice and fluffy. - the butter chicken and korma were normal and the tofu masala had a nice kick but not overwhelming. however, both came with a lot of sauce compared to the protein which was disappointing. the vegetable jalfrezi was incredibly salty and i could not finish it. it also did not taste like it was freshly cooked (felt like it was sitting out for awhile). overall, i was left with an incredibly salty taste in my mouth and a lot of sauces. - the mango and rose lassi were very sweet and heavy. - overall, i would not discourage trying it out if you have a big group and are prepared for some hits and misses. However, I will not be returning because of the saltiness and lack of filling.

We recently ordered delivery for the first time, and it was pretty decent. We got the papad, naan, Goan fish curry, chicken korma, bengan bharta, and saag paneer. The papad was nice and crispy. I didn't try the naan but the family seemed to enjoy it. The Goan fish curry was my favorite - it had a nice flavor but wasn't too fishy. Wasn't as big of a pan of the rest of the dishes. The sauce in the korma was thin, the bengan bharta was overly tomatoey and acidic for my taste, and the paneer didn't have that nice squeakiness I've come to appreciate in the paneer from other restaurants. I would order from here again if I had to but would much prefer to get my Indian food from Anarbagh in Beverly Hills. The search for a good replacement for India's Tandoori continues (we tried their new location in Santa Monica but it wasn't as good as it was at the old location in West LA).

Had a absolutely delicious lunch today at Indias Oven. I've had Indian food in many cities all over the country and today's lunch was just perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to have a wonderful meal with excellent service as well. Will be back soon for sure! There is a lovely ambience to eat in the restaurant at a table or booth.

I went here and tried the food. It was very good and the waiter was very kind. It was a cool casual environment. The place was on the smaller side and a more hidden gem. If you are a vegetarian they can heavily accommodate you. I didn't even have to ask and the waiter offered and included paneer for me. The food came very fast too! My one complaint is that the plate I had was chipped. I usually like to avoid this but since my food was crafted with such care for me I didn't want to send it back. I hope they can get rid of the plates that are broken. But other than that everything was perfect. Thanks for the experience!

This was absolutely 10 out of 10. My whole appetite has been off for weeks and I came here only to find my all time favorite Indian food in LA. The Vegetable Kofta is a must! We couldn't get enough. The staff could not have been kinder. Truly everything we ordered I wanted more of! Would recommend to absolutely everyone.

Excellent food and service. The owner and all staff are attentive and friendly. They also customize the spice to your tastes. The space is open and ambiance is very good. The place is easy to find and the windows provide natural light and a view, adding to the experience. I ordered salted lassi, paneer tikka masala, rice, and onion kulcha - all were very good. The gulab jamun was so so. The masala chai was decent - I would ask for less milk for a stronger tea. Would definitely come back.

I recommend the paneer tikka masala and the gobi manchurian. The stuffed mushrooms were ok. The garlic naan was phenomenal.

I've ordered takeout from here a few times. Love their chicken tikka masala and the chicken samosas. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for good Indian food!

I got this for takeout. Everything was delicious. Ordered everything "medium" for spice except chicken tikka masala, which I ordered "spicy". None was spicy. Easy to pickup (they validated my parking). Food was ready when I got there. Friendly service. I recommend!

I really love this restaurants chicken saag. And truly, that's the only thing I order here bc I love it so much. I decided to order something different, their coconut spicy chicken curry. But tonight, I need to rave not only about their food but the staff who work here. Upon walking up to the register I was approached by a man who said he didn't order food, but just followed me to the restaurant. When I left, I looked back at the cashier feeling nervous about leaving as the gentleman followed me to my car. A few minutes later, the cashier called me and asked if I was OK. I told him I thought so, and I thanked him for calling me to make sure. A few minutes later, a Vespa came by as the stranger attempted to open the door to my car. I told him please step away from my car. It turned out that the guy on the Vespa was one of the staff who wanted to make sure that the man following me wasn't going to hurt me. As I got into my car and the man left, the Vespa drove around and he asked me if i was OK? And I told him I was. He didn't leave until I drove away. The amount of gratitude that I have for this restaurant is more than what I can describe in words. Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure i was safe. Not only does this restaurant have great quality food, but they were kind enough to make sure that I got home safely. To the staff at India's Oven, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for watching over me .

I haven't been here in years and am so glad that I came back! India's Oven has the best Indian food I've eaten in years! It's a little pricier than other places, but it's worth it! We ordered online for takeout and got our food medium spicy (they have four levels - mild, medium, spicy, very spicy). It definitely had a kick! The saag paneer and chicken tikka masala were so flavorful and the garlic naan was perfect! Will definitely be back!

The best food ambiance service eon west Los Angeles.wven had an Indian beer. Great food

Really good food, but you have to check your take out order because they forget something every single time.

This is one of those places where you call them a hidden gem. My very first time here and it won't be last. My husband used to come here all the time and this is my first time. we came with friends and we enjoyed a really delicious dinner, outstanding service, amazing ambiance, very laid back, clean bathroom. They brought us sambosas For each couple on the house. They also brought the vegetarian kabobs if I'm not mistaken. It's definitely hidden and it's like on the second floor of a building but it's so worth a try we had multiple dishes from vegetarian to chicken dishes and they were all absolute delicious.

In my opinion I've had better but the rice pudding had an odd taste. The mango dessert was really good. Overall it was amazing and I will return here!

I've only gotten their food as takeout, but can honestly say it's the best Indian food I've ever had. I look forward to having the time to be able to go into the actual restaurant! My favorite items are the Saag Paneer and Peas Pulao. highly recommend!

Came back here after a long time away, and bummed that the buffet is gone, but the food was just as amazing nonetheless. The service is warm and welcoming, and there's lots of variety the menu has to offer. Excellent for groups and office luncheons. Music provides a wonderful ambiance and lends to a relaxing yet elegant atmosphere. Highly recommend the saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and tandoori chicken. Looking forward to coming back

Shams India Oven is the place we go to for offsite team dinners. All the food is taste and not just super spicy. Service is excellent and we go there 2 or 3 times a Quarter.

We've been looking for our go to Westside Indian restaurant for a long time. It looks like India's Oven is a keeper. The room itself is spacious and comfortable with nice views of Wilshire Blvd. Validated parking is available underground. Service is efficient and polite. And now to the food: they offer the usual fare but also some unusual items such as lobster tails, a bit overdone but with intriguing spice and a bargain with4 per order. The have. Superb fish Methi that is tender and savory. Even the chicken mahkni also known as butter chicken exceeded expectations in terms of flavor and tenderness. The naan also did not disappoint. Atmosphere was lively with lots of partying. A westside winner.

I'm glad they had the non-vegetarian Thali combination menu option where you have choices and you get to taste a variety of dishes. My choices included a samosa, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and saag paneer. It came with raita, daal, vegetable biryanii, naan, and a gulab jamun for dessert. Portions were good and there was plenty of food. The food was flavorful and the tandoori chicken was very moist. The food was packed carefully along with sauces for the samosa for delivery. I'm adding this restaurant to my rotation.

Very delicious food! I have been ordering Indian food from the Westside of LA for years, and this is the best I have come across! I ordered a combination of curries, appetizers, meat, veggie, and differing levels of spice - all were excellent. My entire family was shocked we didn't already know about this place! Special mention for the Naan - the best in LA!

If only this place had consistency with their dishes, they'd have 5 stars from me. I get the chicken korma (I order spicy). Sometimes it's hardly spicy at all and sometimes it's so spicy it's almost inedible. Sometimes the color of the dish is pale and tastes bland, other times it's a deep red-orange full of flavor. Sometimes the consistency is watery and other times thick. I never know if I'll be disappointed or not until I get my order. I've never dined inside, but I have picked up my order and it seems like a nice place to have dinner. Looks clean, low lighting, and the service has always been very friendly.

They have absolutely amazing food! They also delivered in less than forty-five minutes on a Friday night.

Indian spot located on the 2nd level off of Wilshire. When I typed the name in, Google maps took me to the one on Westwood, so make sure you're putting in the right address if you're intending to go here. Very limited street parking. Credit cards accepted. They do take reservations but when we went on a Thursday evening at 8pm, it wasn't necessary. Masks required and they do check proof of vaccination, although they wanted a picture of the card and didn't accept my digital CA QR code. Food is family style; the tandoori mix grill was a good way to get a variety of meats/seafood. The butter chicken was tasty. The peas pulao was a good complement to that sauce, though I preferred the garlic naan. They do serve alcohol. It's good for big groups and they had a TV playing music videos inside. They were open fairly late on a weeknight, so it's a good spot to get some food if you're in the Brentwood area and get hungry, but don't have a reservation anywhere.

I like the Chicken T Masala plate. Me and my crew stopped here for food not long ago, and we had several different servings of the Chicken Masala, which is delicious. They also have spicy choices on the menu too of the plates you order. Nice cosy spot in the CBD. Nice people that work here in a busy area. I will come back again.

I've been to India a lot of times and I love Indian cuisine! I will definitely recommend this place.

NOTE IN PHOTOS: we ordered take out and we did NOT order rice. We used our own rice and bowls. I posted these photos to represent consistency of liquid and show what one scoop of the meal looked like. The photos do not represent ALL of the food in the Tupperware. We ordered take out at around 8PM. Do note, when you order the meals, they do come with only a small amount of rice as a side. We only received one container of rice (not sure if only one meals comes with it or if they forgot one) but it definitely wasn't enough so we made our own. The only reason for the 4/5 stars is the quantity for the price. The chicken tikka masala was around $17 and the shrimp vindaloo (with around 5 pieces of shrimp) was $21. The food itself was delicious!!! The flavors were amazing. In all honesty, I'm not too experienced with Indian cuisine but this was delicious. Butttt, the portion was quite small. Not sure if this is due to it being togo. I would highly recommend coming here to eat!! It looked kind of fancy and is likely quite nice to eat there. However, as a to go spot, it's a little overpriced so do note that!

Had to park on street and walk. Gobi Manchurian was good. They did a cute birthday singing for my moms birthday

Very good food. Ordered shahee paneer today and it was amazing ! We got it mild and the whole family loved it. We also got the tandoori chicken which comes out sizzling and amazing. The naan is also good but we tried the tandoori roti today and the edges were crispy and perfectly done. It's a thinner type of bread and went very well with the other dishes. They also have awesome chai and rice pudding for dessert. There's many other dishes that we love including chicken vindaloo, alo gobi, saag paneer and chicken tikka masala. The ambiance is also nice when they place Hindi music! Highly recommend!
