" Just okay. Staff was polite, but there was a long wait to be seated, which was frustrating. Once we were at the table, the service was attentive, but I wish the food had a stronger flavor profile, especially the Vindaloo. I expected a lot more based on the reviews, but I might try again to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went there after seeing many positive reviews, but it was just average on my visit. The mixed sabzi was too oily and lacked spice. The waitstaff was good, but the slow food service was irritating. I wonder if it was just an off night or if the food quality has dropped. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout hoping for a wonderful experience based on all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my curry was far too oily for my taste, and the service over the phone felt rushed. I'll stick to my regular Indian restaurant for now. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after seeing all the great reviews, but my experience was different. I ordered the Butter Chicken, and while it tasted good, it was not spicy or flavorful as I had expected. The service was decent, but I felt a bit neglected as I had to wait a while for my order. I might give them another try, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often find myself craving Indian food, and Clay Oven hit the spot! The Chana Masala was rich and had the right spices. The place was bustling, creating a lively atmosphere. The only downside was that we waited a bit longer for our food, but it was well worth it. I will certainly return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for an authentic Indian restaurant since moving here, and Clay Oven did not disappoint! The lamb curry was rich and flavorful, truly a standout dish. The naan was fresh and fluffy as well. The owner greeted us and made us feel right at home. The service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My expectations were not met during my visit. The service was okay, but the flavors were lacking, especially in the Tikka Masala. I had better experiences before. The ambiance didn't help—it felt a bit cold and unwelcoming. I'm not sure I will return. " (*Curated Review*)
