Vivek Babbar
I recently dined at Clay Tandoor, and the experience was exceptional. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including Chicken 65, veg platter, cashew potato rolls, dal makhani, paneer tikka, and chicken tikka masala, all of which were incredibly delicious. To end our meal, we opted for desserts. However, our server, who was relatively new and had joined just five days ago, was a bit misinformed about the menu. He mentioned that the Gulab Jamun came with two pieces each, so we ordered accordingly. Surprisingly, they arrived with three pieces, albeit not piping hot but only slightly warm. Nevertheless, the Rasmalai we ordered was exquisite. Aside from the minor hiccup with the Gulab Jamun, everything else at Clay Tandoor was excellent, and I look forward to returning for another delightful meal.

Very enjoyable! This place had me at Kashmir Naan. It was so good! I have been looking for southern Indian cuisine and happy to have found it. The food was very good. Nice sauces and could taste the complex flavors. Generous portions. Meat was a bit low ratio, but very nice and tender. Rice flaky, light and aromatic. Service was very good and no delays/good amount of time to settle in and visit. Very clean, airy space. Many carry out customers but only a few dine in. Will definitely visit again for both!

We often eat out at this restaurant and we went with some friends this time. When we got our food, it was bland and had no flavor. The butter panner was watery and had not flavor. We spent around 200 dollars and the food here is good but they aren’t consistent with the foods flavor and change up the dish every time. One of my family’s favorite restaurant to eat out at but they need to be more consistent with the food.

Amazing food, amazing service, and there was a short wait time, did not wait longer than 10 minutes, if you order more food it could take longer but our wait was very short and we got to eat 2 servings of papadam while we waited. That was delicious as well. I also have to say that the old man that goes around taking orders took our order and he was very funny and nice, he deserves a good tip.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice now. Both times the food and service was good. The food comes out steaming hot and every item I have tried is delicious. The staff are very helpful when it comes to picking items out, and seem to really care that you like what you order. I highly recommend making a stop here.

This was our 4th time here and we’ve LOVED it every time. So many different entrees to try! The servers are always willing to suggest things to try. Try the Indian wine, its excellent too! This restaurant is quiet enough to come with a group and actually be able to hear the conversation. Tonight I had the lamb Bali kabob Marsala which excellent!
