    Butter chicken, aloo gobi, samosa
    Elizabeth D.

    Ok, after one takeout experience, I think this may be my favorite non-vegetarian Indian restaurant in Reno. Yes, I have tried others. Yes, I know Indian food! I lived in the Baltimore-DC area for 11 years and had amazing Indian food there. I agree with other reviewers that Clay Oven knows how to use spices in their dishes! Often my complaint with other Indian restaurants is that the spice level is missing, and I'm not talking about just heat level but actually earthy, herby flavors. The butter chicken was delicious. Not too oily! Not too creamy (yes, that can be a problem). I really enjoyed the aloo gobi because of the fresh herbs. And the prices are reasonable for what you get! I'm already planning my next takeout order.

    First impression was, couldn't believe I ordered food from a Mini Mart/gas station but WOW! Just spent $2500 unexpected dollars on my motorhome A/C issue and a hotel room and needed some happiness and The Clay Oven came through!! Had the Butter Chicken and the Vegetable Hakka Noodle and I'm not a connoisseur of Indian food but the quality, taste, portion size, price and overall value was exceptional. Being a new resident of Reno, I'll be back for more "happiness" and recommend others to make your judgement after your belly is full !

    Butter Chicken

    I've had Clay Oven a few times from delivery and catering so I haven't actually been by the truck yet but the food is amazing! The first time I tried Clay Oven I ordered the butter chicken, the samosa plate, garlic naan, and the lamb briyani. The butter chicken with the garlic naan bread is some of the best butter chicken I've had. I was recommended the samosa plate and it did not disappoint. It comes with 2 samosas covered in chickpeas and a tamarind-mint sauce. While the dish itself is vegetarian they also have a vegan option available! Lastly, we ordered the lamb briyani. While I personally am not a huge fan of lamb I have to admit it was quite good, and my lamb loving friends literally ate it all up! The next time I was able to try Clay Oven was at a party. The food was delivered hot and ready to eat and was very well packed. There were a few other new dishes including chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi, cauliflower and potatoes. However, there is so much more on the menu I still want to try like the goat and other vegetarian dishes. The thing that makes Clay Oven stand out to me is the spices. All of the food is so rich and flavorful. The portions are very reasonable and I had enough to take leftovers for lunch the next day. This restaurant is definitely in my dinner rotation now!

    Chicken Tikka Masala - spice level HOT
    Jas S.

    I was craving curry today and decided to order from here for the first time. Very easy ordering and pickup, everyone was kind inside. The chicken tikka masala is super tasty. I would consider their spice level HOT, to be a bit over the spice of a jalapeño and slowly builds. It's a nice kick but if you want more than that, I would get extra hot. I would have liked a bit more chicken in the curry but for the price it's very hard to beat around Reno. The garlic naan was also toasty and chewy to perfection. And the rice was good as well, a bit softer than most places I've had but it all tasted great. I would definitely come back here again.

    The chicken curry was unbelievable, and the plain naan was perfect with it. This was my first time…read moreat Taste of India, and I was seriously impressed. Great food and a fantastic first experience. I'll definitely be back! Didn't think I was going to leave a review so didn't take any pictures. It's all gone!!

    1 Star - Very Disappointing Experience…read more Unfortunately, this was one of the worst Indian food experiences I've ever had. I really wanted to like this place, but the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Parking was difficult, and the restaurant itself wasn't particularly welcoming. The space is extremely large and felt more like a banquet hall than a cozy Indian restaurant. The service was good, and that's honestly the main reason I'm giving it one star. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment. The dishes were too watery, overly sweet, and heavily based on tomato purée, which completely overwhelmed the flavors. It was so disappointing that we couldn't even finish our food. To make matters worse, I asked for a glass of ice water and was told they didn't have ice because the ice machine would take about 15 minutes to make more. That was certainly an unexpected experience at a restaurant. I'm sorry for the harsh review, but I believe in being honest about my experience. Unfortunately, there just wasn't much about this visit that made me want to return. I do not recommend this place based on my experience.
