" I’ve been a loyal customer of Clay Oven for many years, visiting their other locations, but the express version left me quite disappointed. I ordered the chicken curry and found it wasn’t up to the traditional standards I expected. It seemed overly commercialized and the spice level was all wrong; I wanted a rich, flavorful experience but felt let down. Additionally, my visit was marred by the unhelpful and defensive nature of the staff. They didn't seem willing to offer any solutions when I expressed my concerns. Sadly, I won’t be returning to this location. " (*Curated Review*)

" Clay Oven Express has become my go-to for quick, satisfying meals! Their Butter Chicken is the best I've had in the city—so creamy and rich. Plus, they have a nice selection of vegetarian options too, which makes it highly convenient for my family. They’ve seriously nailed the spice levels; every dish has the perfect kick without overshadowing the main flavors. Not to mention, the service is efficient, which is great for those in a hurry! " (*Curated Review*)

" Similar to other reviews, the service can be hit or miss. My latest visit was during dinner time, and although the food arrived promptly, there was a mix-up with my order. I had to ask for fixings multiple times before receiving them. However, once the wait was over, I enjoyed the Butter Chicken immensely. The flavors focused on authenticity, which I truly appreciate. I plan to visit again soon and hope for smoother service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here on a busy day and, while I appreciated the food’s flavor, the wait was a real downside. I ordered the Chicken Salad and was left waiting almost half an hour for my meal to arrive. When it finally did come to the table, the portion size was decent for the price, but a little more would’ve been even better. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful, which made it somewhat worth the wait. If you plan on going during lunch rush hours, be prepared to wait a little longer for your dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though I had a mixed experience at Clay Oven Express, I can still appreciate certain aspects. The Chicken Biryani was flavorful, however, I found a long hair in my dish which really affected my appetite. The staff handled my complaint well and apologized sincerely, but it left a bad impression on my overall dining experience. I think they should have more stringent quality checks in place, especially in the kitchen. I do believe in second chances, so I might give them another visit down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited a few times before, hoping each time would be better than the last. Sadly, my recent experience was disappointing from the very start. Upon arrival, we were ignored for several minutes despite the restaurant being only moderately busy. The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it wasn’t hot. The Garlic Naan was also missing — what a letdown! Perhaps it was a bad day for them, but given my past experiences, it's disappointing that they haven’t managed to improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here last week, and while I was overall pleased, there were some areas for improvement. First, the butter chicken was very good and tasted quite authentic. However, I found the portion size to be on the smaller side for the price I paid. The service was a little slow, and I felt like I had to wave down my server a couple of times. The atmosphere was casual and the decor was charming but not overly remarkable. I would be open to trying some different dishes on my next visit. Maybe I’ll venture to a different location that has better service. " (*Curated Review*)
