Experience the Culture of Punjab, Savor the Flavor of Tradition
Red Oven is the foremost Indian Punjabi restaurant in Bearwood, providing a dining experience that extends beyond the locality of Harborne, Edgbaston, Quinton, Smethwick and far beyond. We take great pride in offering authentic Punjabi cuisine, prepared using only the freshest ingredients, combined with traditional cooking techniques. Our esteemed chefs have over 20 years of experience, having worked in some of the top restaurants in India and the UK. Their culinary skills and expertise are evident in the tantalising flavours of our dishes.
Our Chefs and Flavours
At Red Oven, we believe that it is the natural ingredients that truly flavour our dishes, encapsulating the essence of Punjabi cuisine. Our chefs use these natural ingredients to produce dishes that are not only delicious but also healthy, using vegetable oils sparingly and avoiding ghee altogether. This balance between flavour and health is what sets us apart from other Indian restaurants. We strive to provide our customers with an insight into Punjabi culture beyond the plate of food.
