September 13, 2007 | After three years of serving
Indian food from a gas station, the Indian Oven
has moved to a new location on Main Street to
accommodate more customers.
"We needed more room," said Matt Singh,
who runs the restaurant with his father, Sham
Singh. Sham Singh first opened the restaurant
inside the Sinclair station on 1000 North and
700 East streets in Logan.
"They made a name for themselves. Word
of mouth has done them wonders of great service,"
said Hoda Sondossi, a loyal customer.
Matt Singh said they started out with four tables
in the gas station and had to add an additional
six. When 10 tables were not enough room for the
lunchtime crowd, he said they began serving a
buffet for carry out. When the demand of carry
out became too great, the restaurant needed more
space, he said. The new location, 132 N. Main
St. in Logan, is much larger and can seat as many
as 80.
The menu is the same with a few small additions,
said Matt. A popular dish with customers is the
chicken tikka masala, chicken barbecued in the
clay oven cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes,
cream and spices, he said. He also suggests people
try the chicken coconut, cooked with onions, tomatoes,
cashew nuts and coconut milk.
The menu has a variety of dishes -- something
for everyone, said Matt. Another customer favorite
is the restaurant's homemade Indian flat bread,
called naan, said Matt. There are many varieties
to choose from.
The prices on the menu also stayed the same,
said Matt. Entrees start at $7.99 and go up to
$12.99. The restaurant is still serving its lunch
buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The buffet is $6.99
Monday through Thursday and $7.99 Friday and Saturday.
With the new move of the restaurant, the gas
station on 1000 North is still operating said
Matt. The gas station will expand with a new section
offering grocery items. The new grocery section
will have many international items that are hard
to find in the Logan area, said Matt.

My personal favorites
Try the onion bhaji, sliced onions dipped in
a homemade spice batter and deep fried, and the
barbecued chicken tandoori. The one thing you
have to try is the mango ice cream.
