The Clay Oven Indian Restaurant

Came here last week with my wife for the first time, very happy to know that there is a great Indian restaurant less than 10 minutes from me. Food : we ordered chili paneer and vegetable Samosa as an appetizer which were both delicious and filling, the chili paneer was actually spicier than unexpected which I like. We ordered garlic naan, which was some of the better naan that I’ve ever had. We ended up sharing a dish of chicken makhani which had the spot. Aesthetic: unexpectedly small location, but filled with a lot of tables, it’s a nice, quiet dining experience. Service : our service was fantastic, although I don’t remember the name of the gym that helped us. It was a good time.

Excellent Indian food...we had bunch of things...mango lassi, chole bhatura, paneer, samosa, biryani, dal, kulfi, mali kofta, variety of breads etc over two meals...food and staff are very welcoming. Its a must visit for any1 in the area and definitely for tourist.

I’ve been coming to The Oven Clay since 2018, and it’s hands down my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. The food is always amazing—fresh, authentic, and super tasty. Every single time I’ve been, it’s been delicious. The owner is so nice, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. It’s just a great vibe all around. If you’re wondering what to try, definitely get the kheema samosa—it’s my favorite! The Chicken Makhani and Lamb Korma are also fantastic, their Garlic Naam is also so so good. Honestly, anything you order here is going to be good.

First time at clay oven and the vibe was nice and chilled. The waiter was nice and explaining the different meals. I got Lamb do piyaza with garlic naan. We got the samosas as well. The kheema samosa was really good with the green sauce. It's also BYOB! If you want some Indian go to the Clay oven. I totally recommend this place.

i had the most amazing Indian food at clay oven. The quality of Indian food here is far superior to most places in India. The staff is very friendly, and the owner takes personal interest in ensuring you are comfortable and you’re getting the best service. I highly recommend The Clay Oven of Ledgewood, New Jersey to anyone who wants to have high quality Indian food.

Amazing selection of wonderful Indian food cooked in their beautiful setting. Vegetarian options are plentiful. Many of my favorites are on the menu. Lots of options with Naan. And if you know the name of a specialty dish that's not on the menu, give it a try

If I could give this restaurant a 10-star rating, I absolutely would! From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by the incredibly gracious owners, Sangeeta & Jitu Mehta. Their hospitality alone is reason enough to visit, but the real magic lies in the food. As an Indian who is lucky to have an amazing cook at home (our mother!), I rarely find restaurant food that matches up. And my daughter—who is a notoriously picky eater, especially when it comes to Indian food—has never enjoyed Indian restaurant food… until now. She absolutely loved every bite, which speaks volumes about the authenticity and excellence of the dishes served here. We initially stopped here on our way back from a drive, but after this experience, we will make the drive just to return again and again; even tho its an hour's drive away for us. The flavors, the warmth, and the passion behind the food make this a must-visit destination. If you’re looking for Indian cuisine that feels like a labor of love, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!
