This is THE BEST Indian food I have eaten since living in Brooklyn, NY. The food is lovingly homemade, full of flavor, and served piping hot. The service is amazing- feels like you’re eating dinner at a friend’s house- genuine care! It was so good that we came back the very next night to try more!
I really enjoyed the Clay Oven! I was greeted & seated immediately when I walked in. The staff was very friendly & I got a complimentary chai as well! The menu had good options (vegetarian & vegan included) and the food came out quickly. Flavor was excellent and just the right amount of spice. The restaurant is clean & bright and I would definitely come again.
This is a great place to get some great Indian food! We were seated really quickly and serviced pretty fast as well. We did have to wait a little for our food to be brought to our table, but with them making the dishes fresh and the restaurant getting busy quickly, it didn't feel terribly long. We ordered the butter chicken and lamb biryani and both were amazing! If you are someone who cant handle spiciness, i would tread lightly since their mild still had some heat. Can't wait to try more dishes from here!
Just had a wonderful experience dining here for lunch. You can tell this family run restaurant's food is made with love. Best chicken Tikka masala I've ever had! The garlic naan was delicious too! They even let you adjust the spice level for your liking.
I recently ate at the Clay Oven Indian Cuisine restaurant, and it was incredible. The atmosphere is clean and gorgeous, the food is exceptional, and the service was polite and professional. The cherry on top for me was the complementary Chai my wife and I were given before our meal. If you enjoy Indian cuisine, this is a must.
We have been thrice already to this amazing place. The food is just ‘finger licking good’ 😊 scrumptious and reminds us of India 🇮🇳. The taste is consistent and flavors are so aromatic. We have tried Chicken tikka masala, lamb Roghan Josh, dal Makani and Chicken Kadai, so far. They are all delicious. My family always rates their food a straight 9/10. The service is prompt and they accept ordering through phone 📱 and then they serve you once you arrive. So we did not have to wait for the order. It just arrived as soon as we entered. Alas! Bon appetit! Readers . 😃
What a wonderful experience! The Samosas were absolutely delicious as an appetizer. I had the Chicken Tiki Masala, my wife had the Chana Masala, and my mother had the Chicken curry. We tried the butter naan and the garlic naan. Both were fabulous. Our toddler ate a lot of rice and a little of everything else, haha. The food was delicious and the Chai they served us was fabulous. My daughter had a little Mango Lassi (we all tried it and I have to say it was sweet and delicious). We have been missing good Indian food and this place certainly fills that void. Wonderful staff as well! We used to venture south to Swagat in Zona Rosa but have been disappointed with Swagat the last couple of times so we haven’t had Indian in quite awhile. So wonderful to have a local option that is truly a gem! We don’t get out much with our 2 little ones but I can tell you this place is on our list now. Honestly I can’t wait to go back….
