Best Chicken Tikka Marsala Ever – First of all, great date spot. The restaurant is really cozy and the atmosphere really sets the mood, a nice plus. Secondly, the food is amazing. I used to eat at this one place in Long Beach like all the time, but this place is on a whole other level. Their chicken marsala has so much flavor to it and their garlic naan was the perfect amount of crispy and soft. Their portions are kinda big so you can totally order one dish and share, but I recommend getting two so you can try more things. A... read more

Amazing Catering Services!! – My husband and I got married a little over a year ago and feel so fortunate to have had Clay Oven cater our special day. The food was AMAZING! In fact when our family and friends reminisce about our wedding day, the first thing they mention is how wonderful the food was. The food was not only savory and delicious, but the presentation of the food was beautifully and impeccably done. The owner of Clay Oven created a unique menu that fit perfectly into our theme of fusing together American and Ind... read more
Great food great service – In my various visits to the Clay Oven with friends and family I have never been disappointed with the food taste, quality and service. Often they have provided us with dishes that are not on the menu and to our taste. Two thumbs up. Have often recommended them and have yet to hear a negative review. Highly recommend them.
Indian Hospitality and Tradition – After having several company lunches catered by Clay Oven, I finally went in for their buffett lunch and loved it enough to come here and recommend it. I was apalled to read about someone wanting a doggy bag from his own daughter's wedding. Since he didn't like it to begin with, why take it home? This person has certainly forgotten his Indian culture in which we try and feed as many people as possible to receive their blessings on auspicious occasions like our children's weddings. Instead o... read more
Excellent Catering and Food – I attended a wedding on the 19th catered by Clay oven and was blown away by the fabulous food and presentation, so I decided to go in and try the restaurant this weekend and was amazed yet again. The dishes the owner suggested were incredible, especially their corn chowder and tandoori shrimp, and I had to order extra cheese naan. It was unlike any other Indian restaurant I've tried in Orange county, including the more expensive ones like Royal Khyber. I'm planning to bring in my parents so they... read more
Terrible Catering – I recently attended my cousins wedding, in which she catered from Clay Oven. The food was unconventional - some unique fusion type dishes. But overall food was terrible. The appetizers would have tasted decent if they had been warm, they were cold inside, particularly the middle of the paneer. The dinner was abysmal. None of the food was warm, they'd wait until the servers were completely empty before refilling. I had to wait in line for 2 items while they refilled. The naans were chewy and took a glass o... read more
Avoid Catering at any cost – I retained the services of clay oven to cater food for my daughter's wedding. I went to his restaurant 3 times with my wife, my daughter and her fiance to tast the food. I spent more than $400 just tasting and selecting the menu. He quoted me $38 per person. I offered him $40 per person if he would provide the same quality of food what we tasted and not cut any corners. His price did not include serving food to the wedding guests. I arranged that from a different company. The owner told me t... read more
Nothing to brag about. – Here's our experience with their food: 1. The Chicken TIkka Masala had lemon (or similar) in it which made it tangy and really lemony. This is a joke. We all know CTM should not taste like that. Also, the Chicken pieces were tough telling me that they didn't properly marinate the chicken long enough to tenderize in the yogurt sauce. 2. The Palak Paneer was okay, nothing to brag about. It was a bit dry as though it were on the heater for some time and reduced. 3. The Garlic Naan was excellent, to my s... read more
