Country oven Indian restaurant — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

We dined in for entrées and ordered takeaway for the mains. For entrée, we had the samosa chaat and onion bhaji, and both were very good — served hot and tasty.

For the takeaway, we ordered a Veg Biryani and a Hariyali Paneer Biryani. Unfortunately, both were disappointing. The Hariyali Paneer Biryani had no “hariyali” flavor at all — it looked and tasted like a normal paneer biryani. The Veg Biryani had very few vegetables, tasted bland, and oddly included sweet corn. It felt more like a pulao than a biryani — no ginger-garlic flavor, no spice, and even the salt was less. A biryani should not taste sweet. The briyani for sure is not cooked by a professional chef .

Overall, very disappointed with the mains after a promising start with...

A 5-star rating honestly doesn't feel like enough for this restaurant! The entire experience is exceptional, and it’s clear that Sajid and Vijeth pour their hearts into this business. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is flawless, and every single dish is prepared with incredible attention to detail. We were completely blown away by the food, especially their Biryani, which is hands-down the best I've ever had. What truly sets this place apart is the genuine care. Sajid and Vijeth treat every guest like family, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable visit. If you want phenomenal food paired with world-class hospitality, this is your new favorite spot....

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...
