Clay Oven Indian Cuisine


Are you an experienced Indian food connoisseur? You will go right to beginning your meal with one of Clay Oven's appetizer selections, including Papadams - incredibly spicy and crispy lentil wafers - and Palak Pakoras, drenched and coated in spinach before being wonderfully deep fried in garbanzo batter. Our Dal Soup continues to remain a favorite among regular patrons, this delicately spiced lentil soup bursting with flavor and garnished with vegetables, as is our Raita, a homemade yogurt with cucumber and spices.
