The first Oven Restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Lincoln, has been around since 1988 and owned/operated by a dedicated family of chefs who have been creating Indian cuisine for over twenty seven years. The Oven Restaurants specialize in Northern Indian Cuisine which is known for its rich colors, flavor profiles and a unique style of cooking in a clay oven, called the Tandoor. Chicken, shrimp and lamb marinate for several hours in a yogurt and spice mixture and placed on skewers while various breads are being hand made by our chefs fresh each day. The skewers and breads are then placed in the tandoor over an open flame where breads are cooked to perfection and the rich flavors are sealed in to ensure tenderness and quality of the meat. Whether you enjoy the historic Haymarket atmosphere to the relaxed vibe of the Cellar, we have what you want!

Our first foray into Nebraska is located near the Pinnacle Bank Arena in West Haymarket. We're not a sports bar, but we love sports. Want to watch the game? We've got you covered with 52-inch TVs viewable from most seats. Don't want to watch the game? That's cool too. We keep our music on (almost) all the time. Husker games are the big exception to that rule.HopCat was founded on the principles of bringing local craft beer a bit closer to the communities we love. We’re known for our award-wining Cosmik fries, which are beer battered, sprinkled with our signature cracked black pepper seasoning, and served with a side of warm cheese sauce. From burgers to tacos, our menu offers a range of delicious options. We live the craft lifestyle - beer, cocktails and even craft food made from scratch. With a dedication to local breweries, sustainability and community engagement, HopCat offers craft beer and great food in a vibrant atmosphere for an inclusive, unforgettable

    The food was mostly good. Not much seasoning was used. Definitely get the artichoke dip and crab cakes. Steaks cooked perfectly but lacking seasoning. Fried chicken was way overcooked and could barely chew through the fried batter. But overall I’d go back for the service, it was the best I’ve had all year. Thanks Maximiliano.

    Great meal. We ordered two types of hot tea, hot rock beef, fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, 5 different sushi rolls, and fried ice cream. Everything was great. The waitress was amazing. She left us alone to chat and then would magically appear as soon as we needed something. She refilled both of our tea pots like 4 times. It was 15° outside so it tasted good to drink something hot. Some calamari can be really chewy, but this one was really tender and delicious. The rainbow roll, iguana, and crunchy red rolls were our favorites.
