Long overdue celebratory review for Clay Oven. I have been thoroughly impressed every time that I've eaten here. I've had lunch, dinner, and takeout from Clay Oven. Variable spice levels from 1-7 ensure that you get a meal suited to your likings. This is one of Minneapolis' gems.

The hubby and I have come here for a couple of dinner dates now, and all the food has been absolutely AMAZING every time! We ordered extra food to-go for my MIL each time, since she’s babysitting for us to be able to dine out, and she’s now a huge fan as well. I can’t wait to try more dishes in the future.

Food was INCREDIBLE! We’ve had a lot of Indian food at many different restaurants and this was by far the best we’ve ever had! We will be back again and again. Family’s new favorite!
