“I’m just going to try a little of yours.”
Famous last words when the curries arrive. 😊
Our Tuesday curry special is on today. Order your favourite, try a spoonful of theirs and keep the naan somewhere you can both reach.
Come over for dinner. We’d love to have you.

“Tera Kya Hoga, Kaliya?”
A little Bollywood attitude on our walls.
Our Bollywood-inspired wall art is actually a nod to Mahanagar (The Big City), Satyajit Ray’s acclaimed 1963 Bengali film. A beautiful piece of Indian cinematic history, it reflects the changing face of urban India
At Indian Oven, we love bringing these little pieces of Indian culture into the space — from the food on your table to the stories on our walls.
Come for the curry. Stay for the character.

Tuesday is curry night at Indian Oven. 🍛
Order two curries and the second is half price. That's the excuse you needed to finally try something new alongside your favourite.
Garlic naan for tearing, rice for the sauce, a glass of something good, and a table full of colour. This is how Tuesdays should look in Hout Bay.

There’s a certain feeling to an evening at Indian Oven. ✨
Warm lights, deep green walls, the hum of conversation, fresh naan from the tandoor, and the smell of spice moving through the room.
It’s relaxed, a little intimate, and made for slow dinners, shared plates, and one more drink before you go.
Come for the food. Stay for the atmosphere. ❤️🔥

Cold day, warm bowl. 🍛
Our Kastoori Methi is rich, fragrant and deeply comforting — layered with fenugreek, warming spice and a creamy finish that was made for weather like this.
Add fresh naan, settle in, and let dinner do the warming.
