You get good value for your money, and the experience feels complete without breaking the bank.If youre someone who enjoys a drink with your meal, youll be pleased to know that they have a full bar. The drink selection is as good as youd hope for, complementing the food perfectly.In summary, Clay Oven Grill & Bar is not just another restaurant in Vacaville.

I went to this restaurant after reading the reviews and with really high expectations. Overall the food was disappointing. I feel like we caught the kitchen staff on a bad day. Overall 3.5 rating would have been most appropriate. The appetisers, dessert & the breads were excellent. The main course entrees were disappointed for one reason or the other. The butter chicken had good curry but chicken was stale, the goat curry was great flavour but the meat was chewy, the chilli chicken was extremely spicy despite asking for medium spice level. The kulfi was actually just plain mango icecream.I feel like I need to try this place another day and time for a better experience. But based what we were served today I can’t rate it better than 3.5 and it was a disappointing experience.

This was our first visit here. We had no clue about what to order. Thank goodness our daughter did. Everything was delicious 😋 we enjoyed the veggie egg rolls, chicken Tikka masala, paneer saag, and the butter chicken. Our server was very nice and helpful. We will definitely return and highly recommend it.

The Clay Oven - A Hidden Gem in VacavilleI recently visited The Clay Oven, an Indian restaurant located in the same parking lot as a Motel 6 in Vacaville. Ill admit I was initially hesitant about the location, but this unassuming spot turned out to be a hidden gem with delicious food and attentive service.I dined on the patio on a rainy Friday evening. The patio was entirely empty, so I had the space all to myself. The restaurant had lit up the outdoor fire lamps, which provided warmth against the dreary weather. Soft Indian music played in the background, lending to a serene ambience.I started with a mango lassi, which was thick and creamy with the perfect sweet-tart balance. For my entree, I ordered the chicken curry, which had tender pieces of chicken in a rich and savory tomato-based sauce. It looked more like masala to be honest. The garluc naan bread was freshly baked in the tandoor oven and arrived piping hot at my table. It was so buttery.The service started off a bit shaky, with some confusion about my order. However, my server quickly corrected it and remained attentive throughout my meal, politely refilling my water and clearing plates efficiently. While the service needs some polishing, the staff was genuinely kind and eager to please.Overall, The Clay Oven exceeded my expectations. The cooking techniques and flavors were clearly authentic and crafted with care. The ambience was calm and refined. And despite the unlikely location next to a motel, this restaurant is worth seeking out for exceptionally tasty Indian fare in Vacaville. Its a hidden gem amidst the ordinary. Ill definitely be back to further explore their extensive menu.

Great food! We had the tandoori chicken tikka and the samosa. The coriander mint chutney was freshly prepared. The chicken Tikka was juicy and tender, not overcooked like most places. Mildly spiced and perfect char on the outside. They Tikka is probably oven roasted and not on charcoal, so if you wanted charcoal, this is not the place. Service was a bit slow, but I would like to think thats because they made everything fresh unlike many other places.I would not order anything salmon, salmon was not fresh, had a very strong taste which is not the case for fresh salmon. Order everything but the salmon and this place is really good 👍. The Paneer Tikka was excellent too, must order entree

First time at Clay Oven so happy we stopped in for a treat of a dinner. The restaurant has a vibrant atmosphere nice decor. Our server was excellent and so quick and informative. My husband and I absolutely LOVED everything we ordered from the Coconut Curry Chicken, the Goat Curry, the super bullet Nan and garlic Nan breads, glass of Monterrey red wine, the appetizer all so delicious and the spiced perfectly!! The portions were very generous and the jasmine white rice so light and fluffy. The prices were incredibly affordable! We highly recommend this fabulous cuisine!

I came to Clay Oven in vacaville for a quick lunch on my way back from the Bay Area. The $14 lunch special was almost enough food to split between two people . The food was fresh and tasty and the service was excellent.

This place has some great Indian cuisine.Chicken Tikka Masala- this is a staple in any Indian restaurant and Clay Oven does it very well. Combined with the rice and garlic basil naan, this dish is fantastic. 4/5Methi Malai- the people who like this curry say that it is very well done. It’s not my favorite, but that is just because there are always some things I’d rather have instead. 3/5Samosa Chaat- this chickpea dish is listed as an appetizer, but it’s big enough for a meal of you want. Tasty and filling. A good vegetarian option. 4/5

Ive been going here for years. Its been great to see the place grow! Today they have a great atmosphere, good for couples and lunch with coworkers. Take out is also popular. They have a full bar with a variety of options, but I have not tried any. I usually order their veggie dishes. The spinach paratha was delicious! Entrees come with rice and the portion is pretty large. Food doesnt take long but definitely allow for at least 15min wait time if its not busy.

I decided to try something new and it was fantastic! I ordered the Punjabi Grill medium hot and it was just perfect. Had a little kick to it but not burn your face off hot.All I can say is wow!! So good. Really great atmosphere also, theres a nice bar to sit at.

Ive been to India twice so im a bit of an Indian food snob. This place has the best indian food in Solano County. Anything ive ever ordered was amazing, you can smell the spices throughout the resturant and the customer service is wonderful

The food here is AMAZING! Ive gone twice now and both times were 5 star experiences. The best Indian food in the area, hands down. Also, the service is really good. The manager is very hands on with customer service and offering new things. They also have a nice wine list and the prices are reasonable.The food, service, and dining experience make it worth every penny. Well be back again and again!

We have been coming regularly every 2-3 months and the service is awesome. The food here is incredible and it truly feels like eating in India. The service is great because of many reasons one of them being receiving free deserts many times by our favorite waiter which is rare to find these days. I love this restaurant and always meet new staff working and they treat us with so much respect and joy. 20/10 recommend to go here!!

Definitely 5 star worthy. Service, quality, quantity, ambience, freshness, and flavors were all top notch. The tandoori fish was amazing. Rack of lamb was just perfect. Ordered too much food. Will enjoy it for the next 2 days. A little too far for us but will definitely go back. Thank you for a great dinner.

Everything here hits. And the mild option is actually mild.Must-tries:Tandoori chicken, saag, garlic basil naan, mango lassi, and did I mention tandoori chicken?

The buttermilk chicken and garlic basil naan are the absolute best! Only complaint is that I wish they provided more basmati rice but other than that the food was amazing. 10/10 recommend

It gets busy during the weekend night but I think it’s worth the wait. Lamb Briyani, Goat Cheese Naan, and Mango Lassi are our favorites! Customer service was great. There are many parking spaces.

I cannot believe I had not gave this place a chance! This is some of the best food Ive ever tasted. I can say that I absolutely love Indian food now. I tried random stuff and none of it failed me. I tried the coconut chicken curry and the veggie samosas. On top of the delicious food the waiter Niten was very kind, patient, and charismatic. I will definitely be going back soon and thanks to this place it opened up new doors for me.

Delightful Indian cuisine with generous portions! Tasted their paneer butter masala and dal tadka, both served in ample quantities. The service was excellent, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other Bay Area restaurants.

2018-08-27 15:42:18

The food here is decent. And nothing out of the ordinary. The combo veg appetizers and chai tea was good. Malai kofta and goat curry was decent. The biryani felt more like pulav. But overall the service was quick and efficient. They should make the curries little more authentic.

Review №27

2019-05-17 02:04:37

Food was excellent. The service was very good. We had chicken and vegetarian dishes as well as two types of bread and fried chicken wings appetizer and everything was excellent. If you are in vacaville and have not come in here yet you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and try clay oven as soon as possible.

My favorite Indian food restaurant. I’ve been to a lot and always end up craving clay oven. I bring the family over here and they all are amazed with how tasty each dish is here. Definitely recommend to all my friends too! Service can be a bit better but otherwise it’s a solid spot.

Sooooooooo delicious!!!!!!! If I could give then 6 stars a absolutely would. The star of the show was definitely the malai chicken!(medium heat) chicken was tender, sauce was celestial the aroma alone was just mind blowing! This place was a delightful treat. Plus! You can bring all 4 of your wives here with no judgements!!!! Its the Taj Mahal of food!

They serve delicious Indian food. My wife and I like Tikka Masala, Korma and Chicken Tandoori the most. Rest of my family prefer Coconut curry and get Jalfrezi sometimes. Lamb is my favorite protein and I like spicy food and order the spiciest level but it seems mild to medium spicy in my opinion.

2023-08-22 00:45:13

We eat here at least 3x a month and it’s always delicious. Food is fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the Samosa chaat, the chicken Kadai, and Chicken Tikka Kabob. The staff is always friendly and work hard to ensure their customers leave happy. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed!

Stopped by the restaurant for some lunch before heading to Bay Area. Tandoori chicken, naan, saffron rice and samosa were delicious. Mango lassi was satisfying.Lamb vindaloo wasnt that great.

I will say that this is an elevated Indian restaurant. The ambiance inside is really nice and beautiful the food tasted elevated. I have a favorite authentic indian place nearby my place so if I will compare this, my favorite indian place is still the best. But hey their food is great too.

We had dinner at the Vacaville Clay Oven restaurant last Monday night and had a wonderful meal. The appetizer, the lamb kebobs and the saffron rice were all excellent. Our beverages and the service were excellent as well. We have eaten here a number of times, whenever we are in Vacaville visiting relatives, and have loved every dish we have ever tried.Mark R

Best thick tortillas with goat cheese ever! The chicken 🍗 mole aka Tikki Marsele was delicious! Indian food is very similar to Mexican food! Try it! Don’t be a weenie!

We have been to Clay a few times and do enjoy the food. Service can be inconsistent, but not a big deal. The samosas are always good to get you going. Our kids love the sag paneer and dal makhani (which comes with a dollop of butter you can mix in). The bhindi masala is also quite good - with lots of onions. You wont go wrong with the butter chicken either. The dishes come with rice at no extra cost. You should try the spinach paratha, it is nice and crispy.

It was my first visit here, but it definitely wont be my last. Service was so friendly. Everyone we came into contact with were wonderful- hostess, server, busser, and owner. Excellent food. Our server recommended the combo appetizer platter. There was something for everyone. I especially liked the Samosas. My main was the butter chicken. I loved the flavors. The rice was delicious, and the basil garlic Naan was to die for. They were pretty busy for a Friday night, but it never felt rushed or busy. I would recommend dining here. Very hospitable, delicious food, and a nice atmosphere.

I had a lamb dish and naan and it was great. And a large portion too. I couldn’t finish it. Not sure if that’s normal. Service was good and the place felt well run. Highly recommend this Indian joint.

Was seated quickly. Took awhile to take our order. Struggled to get a refill of water. Food all came quickly after. The tandoori was a bit dry. Tomato soup was yummy. Lamb menti was tasty! Naan was good! Mango Lassi could be cheaper since its out of a can. All in all, would come back. Does support servicemembers/first responders! A++

Review №46

2023-07-17 05:29:18

You finish it when you dont respect your customer. Service 0. You serve just big bones in your non veg to show quantity and sweet curry, food 0 and you turn of light on the table while customer is having dinner, atmosphere 0. Thats should be it.

I ordered food for pick up, I got to the restaurant used the bathroom which really needs to be cleaned regularly and needs an upgrade.I went to the front to give my name to pick up my food the female waitress was on the phone she walked away while looking at me, the male waiter was so bothered about the tips on the table literally walked away from me and went to the table came back was doing something with the cash register.. then asked if he could help me, finally he gave me my food and I left.Me and my family got home and we were looking forward to the food Dal Tarka had no flavor in it, butter chicken was sweet. Veggie pakora were good nan was good. We paid 85 dollars for the food. It was not worth it.. I did notice the the waiters and waitress were very helpful and kind to the non-Indian people, and not even one smile to the Indian crowd idk why it was like that.. everyone regardless of color race ethnicity should be treated the same.

It’s a good Indian restaurant, food smelled and tasted freshly made and the ingredients like paneer didn’t taste stale or frozen usage. Methi leaves in some dishes were freshly chopped too. Nan’s were thin and crispy, same goes with kulchas, complimentary rice was enough to over feed the taste buds.

The food here is amazing. Highly recommend the butter chicken and goat naan. If you like spicy, i would recommend the hot spice version of butter chicken as the mild is sweet and medium is fairly sweet too. (Not a bad thing at all, falvor was great but as a spice enthusiast, I like to go for hot, which the hot definitely delivered) Great atmosphere for a date night, or just a nice night out with the family.

I had heard of and seen this place numerous times, but had never actually stopped in to try it. My girlfriend and I finally decided to try something new, so Clay Oven Grill it was.Walking through the doors, you can definitely smell the curry-like aromas. The restaurant itself is very inviting and open with a large display of wine and liquor immediately visible. They were quick to see us and take our drink order.The menu itself can be a bit intimidating. There are so many different dishes, it’s a bit difficult to decide. Being that it was our first time, I went with their specialty of Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice) and my girlfriend went with the Veggie Korma.Both came out fairly quickly and steaming hot. The chicken masala was so delicious. The creamy tomato sauce is very smooth and flavorful. Medium had a nice slickness, but nothing overwhelming at all. The chicken chunks were tender and seared to perfection. The veggie Korma was good as well, but had a very distinct flavor. The peas and broccoli were the strong notes coming through.Overall, a very nice experience and I plan on going back to try some of their other entree offerings. Prices are great for the amount of food you get. If you like Indian food, then I highly recommend you give them a try!

Great food, personable service. We go there 2-3 times a month. The food is very well prepared. My wife and I have been coming to the Clay Oven for over five years. I am happy to see they were able to withstand the COVID-19 shutdown. We recently visited (August 2021) and enjoyed the Chicken Saag (spinach and chicken) and lamb methi. The service is good and the food prep is always great. We have never had a bad meal. I also enjoy the Mango Lassi, a mango drink that is thick like a shake. Very refreshing. And, they made some updates to the building by adding an outdoor patio and replacing some indoor flooring. We enjoy the Clay Oven and hope you do too.

Really good: we called in with a party of seven but by the time we got there other similarly sized parties had arrived -- they opened a space and got us seated. We were hugely thankful as it was an extended family event. Food did not disappoint -- just excellent.

While walking through the front door, the Clay Oven has posters hung by the entrance showing all of the rewards they have won. I always look at places like this with a suspicious eye. However, this restaurant deserves every reward that they’ve been given.We sat at the bar and our bartender was incredibly attentive. He took our drink order and then without asking poured us all a glass of water when our food arrived and kept it filled throughout our dinner.The food was also delicious. The tandoori chicken is surprisingly the best I have ever had. I left stuffed, yet also wanting more. The staffs attention to detail and great food has made me a return customer. The next time I return to visit Vacaville...this is where I will go.

I’m a little late on this review. I wish I knew about this place sooner. The food is amazing. My friend Jay recommended the butter chicken, and I’ve been hooked on that ever since . I tried another dish but can’t remember the name . The service is really good ! Amazing friendly workers . The manager was so cool . Love this place ! Definitely recommend this place for any occasion.

Food was awesome 👌 super fresh and delicious. Great spice level and paneer didnt have unnecessary sugary sweetness. The goat we ordered tasted great but meat was a little tough, the gravy was yummy. The air conditioning was the main issue. With such strong heatwave outside it felt non existent. Will visit again just for the yummy food

We always enjoy great service and wonderful Indian food at Clay Oven. I recommend ordering a few different entrees for your table and sharing.

If the owner is there, he is attentive and will make sure you are taken care of.

Major loss of stars because a waiter didn’t wash his hands after using the restroom!! The first visit I loved the prawn korma, but this second visit I was disappointed. it was too diluted with cream, so it didn’t have the same level of flavor and aroma as the first time. All in all I’m not in love with clay oven grill & bar anymore due to quality control of the food and especially so after the lack of after bathroom hygiene! I know you can’t control everything your staff does or doesn’t do, but at least hire staff that know well enough to go through the motions when there’s another person in the bathroom!

I went back to Clay Oven after my 1st experience was excellent but second one was way off. Ordered Chicken Chilli and Chicken Korma. The Chicken chilli was hard and the sauce was nothing compared to the 1st time I went for a pickup. Will think twice about going back since its a 40 mile pickup journey.

Nice.Liked the experience here.Definite worth a try.Had good Indian food after a long time.

Best Indian food I have ever had. I cant say if it was authentic. I have never been to India. I can say it was absolutely delicious with generous servings and amazing naan. I had the shrimp in korma sauce. The shrimp were large and well prepared and matched the korma perfectly. Along with the korma, I had goat cheese naan that I could not stop eating because it was so delicious. I am a big eater and had difficulty finishing the whole meal. Lastly, I was in a large party and that did not deter them from giving excellent customer service!

Edit: So we decided to give Clay Oven another chance. Service at least acknowledged us this time and we able to order food and drinks. Drinks were very good and the food was quite possibly the best Indian cuisine Ive tasted. Even down to their sauces. The ranch sauce was excellent and as all things made in house. Still not the best service but the food is tops.Horrible services. This is the kind of place that sits you down and then ignores you until you walk out. Weve been wanting to try this place for a while. We walk in and waited no Maitre D. A man comes hostile walking from the back towards us without as much as a greeting said how many and sits us at a random table and tells us a server will be there to help us. We sat there for 10 minutes and no one came. Staff were bussing tables but no one helped us. No greetings and Finally we got the message and just left. It appears this place is ran by culturally rude people who dont understand customer service and its importantance in a maintaining clientele. The place wasnt even busy and couldnt accommodate us. Totally not recommended.

Indian restaurant with below average food quality and poor customer service. Can give two stars for food and zero star for service. The server has an obnoxious attitude and did not respond to any of our questions. We are of Indian origin and were surprised that the server was obviously discriminating against browns. The restaurant has a bar that none of us tried, but food was below average.

I ordered a takeout order on Sunday 4/10/2022, Outside appearance is very clean and nice as well as the inside. Food was hot and tasted amazing.

Normally wouldnt be a big deal but I live in Sacramento and was not looking to go home right away.

I have really enjoyed eating here, the food is very good, and so is the service. I have been here twice with a large group, and they were accommodating. It was not a problem for all 10-15 of us to each have individual tickets. The food is not all that spicy, but spicy enough to be satisfied, if you like spicy food. They also have a good selection of alcohol, if you like cocktails.

Wonderful authentic Indian cuisine. Overall, the service was really good. Our main server was quite slow at first and we couldnt figure out why. The place wasnt that full and his section even less. But we think maybe he was new. It was fine in the end. We commented at the pricing - it was really quite reasonable for the quality. Not huge portions but thats just fine. Would rather have quality over quantity any day and this place has it! 4.5 stars would be better.

Review №166

2022-01-28 02:14:34

First of all the food was great. But overall the service was wayyyyyy lacking. We had a group of 12 and were served on all fronts by the also bartender, who I presume was also the owner. While the tables of two or more had several servers and came and went much faster than us, we had only him. Having this gentleman do everything for us while taking care of bar and all other drink orders (I looked) meant out drink orders took along time, our food orders even longer and getting our bills a stupidly long time after we were through. Basically that sucked, I felt sorry for him but I do think some of the other servers could have been directed our way. Overall a frustrating experience, but good food

Review №167

The food and drinks were excellent. The naan was fresh and hot, the rice was nice and fluffy, and the chicken coconut was creamy and delicious! I love that they give the option to choose how spicy you want your entree to be. The atmosphere was relaxed and it wasnt too loud even though the place was packed with people when we first arrived. The service was prompt and attentive and our order came out perfectly! This is a new one for the list when Im looking to treat myself.

Hadnt been in almost 2 years. Food still excellent..had to ask for the lunch special menu though. They do still have it! Observant server had an Arnold Palmer refill at the table just as I finished the first. Chicken coconut curry was fabulous...we always get rice as the side on one order and naan as the other and share. And.. if you order hot it has some heat to it. My brother who thinks catsup is spicy wouldnt like it..LOL

Review №173

2022-06-13 21:42:14

No rice with to-go meals?While the food is pretty good, no matter what you purchase to-go, it doesn’t come with rice anymore. It doesn’t make any sense because if you dine-in and order the same thing, they give you rice. The same order to-go and they’ll now charge you $2.50 for any rice.Considering the fact that a lot of Indian dishes are sauce based this seems incredibly unreasonable, cheap and unfair.

Review №174

2020-08-28 18:29:01

The combo appetizer was delicious though potatoes seemed to be the theme of all three appetizer. I liked the mango sauce the best of the three dips while the wife liked the tamarind. My chicken Marsala was very good with huge junks of chicken too. Basmati rice was light and fluffy. Sister had the butter chicken and liked it. Too full to have desert. Service was quick and timely. Restaurant was very clean too. Definitely will go back to try different dishes.

We ordered our food they served us on wet plate nobody came to ask if we need anything we eat our food waited 10 minutes cause we want to order dessert but we were ended up going to the counter and pay the lady was soo rude she didn’t count back our money didn’t say thank you or anything last year i recommended this restaurant with 5 ⭐️ but now no more. We ordered chole bhature they were kinda busy and they told us they don’t serve chole bhature after 5 pm. We specifically go to eat chole bhature. I appreciate he still give us chole bhature but if they are gonna treat people like this restaurant gonna close soon. I’m not going there anymore.

6 star worthy. They honor military discount!!! Place is overwhelmingly cute. It is a comfy environment. The staff are sweet, i have no complaints. Everything is so flavorful. Everybody i tell about this place are hooked. If you are looking for some good dishes to order, order my favorite, the clay oven masala it has chicken and lamb in a deep red colored sauce. But the flavors! Literally every craving is satisfied- the sweet, the spicy, salty and savoury. My other friend is picky and she likes butter chicken. Order that with garlic nan. Youll like it.

Attending my friends wedding i got to know about Clay Oven Grill and Bar since the food for the evening was catered by them.Finger licking, lip smacking food served at its finest best. That would still be an understatement.Started my first round with the appetizers which there was an array (a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options) of, though i happened to pick the fish and paneer pakora along with the chicken tandoori pieces . The sauce that was served on the side had absolute amazing flavors written all over it.The chicken tandoori had flavor undertones of being prepared in a tandoor which you could tell right away. Cant get any more authentic with the way it needs to be prepared. The pakoras had just the right amount of crisp and the taste with the spices used during the preparation added gold to glory. Pretty phenomenal. Picked up a cup of tea along the way (though there was filter coffee on offer too, which i happened to sip late in the evening and boy it turned to be just amazing) which had authenticity written all over it as it was neither too strong nor too mild and just the perfect taste as well.Didnt stop at round 1 as my belly rumbled for more and round 2 had home run written all over it!!A few events and a couple of hours later, dinner was served (eagerly awaited :) ). There were Dal Makhni, Butter Chicken, Goat curry (cant get over it), a mixed veggie platter along with a couple different type of Naan options (namely plain and Garlic) with salad, green chutney (cilantro) and raita (yogurt with some finely sliced onions, spices and herbs) to enjoy.I started with Goat curry and some garlic naan and you could tell that the chef/cook who would have prepared it knew what he was doing. At times when i have eaten goat curry at weddings/receptions/catered events, you get that smell from the cooked goat/lamb meat which at times can throw people off and there wasnt even the slightest of traces of that as my nose is pretty sensitive to these nitty-gritty nuances. The curry packed a punch and the meat fell off the bone with the slightest of nibbles which definitely made it an enjoyable experience rather than a tussle. Naans were perfect and just the right and not overwhelming which they can be during such large gatherings. Absolute measure of good quality control being administered!!Next up for grab was butter chicken and i added some Dal makhni in a bowl along side and tasted the same with plain naan. The chicken had a very authentic flavor which was very different from a conventional butter chicken that you would get at any restaurant out there. This was more subtle though every chicken piece that i had was very tender and juicy (at times in the past i have had variations of butter chicken, where the chicken pieces become thick as rock and are a big turn off) and melted in the mouth at the first bite. The Dal makhni was laced with ghee and definitely the aroma was filling the air.To top it rasmalai and carrot halwa were being served as the desserts for the evening. I happened to pick a couple of rasmalai pieces along with a big spoon of the halwa and the bar just kept getting raised to a new high!!!The time that the team at Clay Oven would have spent preparing these dishes definitely showed in the output.Serving this top notch quality food with an extremely humble and guest focussed crew wrapped up this special evening and must say kudos and great job to the folks at Clay Over Grill and Bar.I would love to drive down to the restaurant some time soon and would recommend this over any other restaurant that you think would even be a close second, since if they could maintain such high quality with such a large gathering they definitely would do so and more in a scaled down and a restaurant setting.So long!!

Decent food. The steamed rice served along with the main course dishes was hard and clearly not fresh. The gravies of tikka paneer and Malai kofta were similar tasting, but the problem is the gravies were not cooked properly for the flavors to come out..i could taste raw onion and tomato in those gravies..The naans and kulchas were ok but could have been crispier ...and i dont understand why they dont even out the edges? The edges are so thick and taste raw...we always end up eating the middle portion and throw away the 40% which comprises the edges...prices have gone up...why has the food quality gone down??

Food was very good, as usual. The issue was a 35 minute wait the said it would be turned into a 2 hours. When asked the waiter told us it would becoming soon and then, after about another half hour the waiter said they just were starting to prepare the order. We were not updated. 6:35 until almost 8 pm when finally served.

Ordered to go food from here and it was delicious. Ordered through a phone app which was very convenient and food was ready in less than 30 minutes. Portions were good in size, great flavor and seasoning. We had the cashew lamb and the vegetarian appetizer sampler it was very unique and I strongly suggest you to try it

We were visiting with my son. He suggested the Clay Oven Grill and we were so glad he did! The food was outstanding. Now I crave it! I wish you would open one in Las Vegas. The staff on hand were so friendly and fun. Hope to visit again soon!

Great place!!!! We had the sheek kabob and the curry with rice. The food was hot and delicious and the sanitation and presentation of the place was classy but comfortable. You didnt feel like you needed to be dressed up. The service was amazing and fast! The gentleman there was easily some of the best service youll have. Checked in with us at perfect times and never let our drinks go empty.

Great food and service. My niece was visiting from the Seattle area and this was the highlight of her trip a few months ago. She couldnt wait to return during her trip here recently. She loves the butter chicken!

Ive seen this place many times, parking lot is always full. Had family visiting so decided to try. Easy to make reservations on a Friday night. Serve was excellent, very hospitable, our waiter gave great suggestions on the menu and the bar menu had a wide range of selection. Reasonable dinner prices. Lamb was suculiant and tender, flavorful. Great place for family, business, or date.

Very tasty... enjoyed the veggie appetizer mix with the various chutneys. Had mushroom masala and got it mild at my friends recommendation, so it was more like medium at some other places. Friendly staff and good service as well.

For good food, the service sure does stink. While the food was quite good, honestly, the service needs to be significantly better. Our waiter never checked in on us, forgot our starter, and never brought our check.What should have been a 5 star visit was brought down to a 2 star because of the awful service.

Not happy.
