“ What a hidden gem in Manuka! The biryani is fresh and fragrant, full of flavour. The chicken tikka masala is perfectly spiced and rich, while the paneer masala is creamy and comforting. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service definitely one of the best Indian spots in the area! ”
“ First time customer here. I saw this on Uber Eats. They have other samosas but i ordered the one with yogurt and tamarind sauce. I think it’s just 1 big piece plus samosa chips. I got the small tandoori chicken thinking it’s just one piece. I was surprised to see 2 pieces quarter leg part. And oh, i didn’t expect the “Diet” ginger beer coz in the uber menu it only says “ginger beer”. Am not complaining. It’s a pleasant surprise. :) Overall, I’m satisfied. ”
“ Ordered goat biryani and chilli chicken from Country Oven yesterday, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The goat biryani had tender, flavorful meat with perfectly spiced rice—fragrant and satisfying without being overly greasy. The chilli chicken was a standout too—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a rich, tangy sauce with just the right kick of heat. Great portion sizes and timely service made the experience even better. Highly recommended! It's my go to place from now on. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic experience at Country Oven! I’ve visited this restaurant three times now, and every visit has been nothing short of amazing. The food is always fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Their manti is an absolute standout — so delicious and perfectly made every single time! The customer service is top-notch too. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find a place that consistently delivers both great food and great service, but Country Oven does exactly that. Highly recommend this gem to anyone craving authentic Indian flavours with a touch of homely warmth. Can’t wait to go back again! ”
“ Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The tandoori chicken was perfectly cooked – juicy, tender, and full of smoky flavor. The naan was fresh, soft, and fluffy, the kind that just melts in your mouth. Together they made such a delicious combination. The food tasted authentic, portions were generous, and everything came out fresh. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving quality Indian food! ”
