Food is amazing! Everyone is always friendly and welcoming! We have been coming here now for a few years, and the food is always delicious! Butter chicken is one of our favorites but you can never go wrong with any of the vegetarian options! The garlic naan is a must have with any food choice!

Clay Oven is the ABSOLUTE BEST Indian food in the state! We go frequently for the lunch buffet (now available Thursday through Sunday). Their regular items (Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, and Goat Curry) are always amazing. The owner, and chef, frequently rotates in new items that are fragrant and delicious (Today was Eggplant Bhartha and Aloo Mehti).

They moved from a smaller place. Lots of room in the new place. They are super nice. The server took the time to label my photos so I would know what's what. Chicken Vindaloo was our favorite. Everything was so yummy. We will definitely be back.
Parking: It's in a strip mall attached to a Walmart. Plenty of parking.
