Clay Oven Indian Restaurant

best Indian meals in upstate ny in a beautiful comfortable dining room

My son and I went for the lunch buffet today. The food is always hot and fresh. Definitely our favorite place to eat. Price is fantastic. Highly recommend it.

Found the food to be decent. Had buffet. Tasted like typical Indian food served in CNY. Nothing outstanding but the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was quite good.

Restaurant Review

This restaurant offers a good variety of vegetarian options, which is a definite plus for Vegetarians. While the taste wasn’t exceptional, it was decent enough for a casual meal. The prices are very reasonable, making it a budget-friendly choice. The ambiance is pleasant and adds to the overall experience. Worth considering if you’re looking for variety and affordability over gourmet flavors.

Had the chicken tikki masala. The chicken was overcooked. It had a nice flavor but was hard to eat. The garlic Naan was very good.

We had the mango lassi, appetizer sampler, chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, and everything was EXCELLENT! The chicken tikka masala was the best I've ever had, 10/10 would go again.

I have bragged about this place for months and travel 45 miles to eat there a couple times a month... Tonight, everything we ordered was too spicy too eat. The flavor wasn't at all what we were used to or what we have enjoyed. Waste of time and money.

We've gotten take out from Clay Oven a few times and have always thought the food was delicious. Recently though we stopped in for the lunch buffet. The restaurant itself is very roomy and clean, the staff are friendly. And of course as always the food was fantastic! Everything was hot and tasted fresh.

Wife and I come here fairly often, the food is always amazing.
The best part is the new waiter is super friendly and more importantly, actually cared about us being there.

I along with my family were coming from Niagara Falls to New Jersey. Since we were reaching home after midnight, my son searched for an Indian restaurant and found it. Stopping over after leaving the highway at 9 pm and driving to this restaurant 10 miles was not a regret. The food was great and delicious. We would love to go there again whenever travelling to/through this area.
