Best Authentic Indian food in town. Exceptionally friendly and polite staff. The food is always delicious and fresh, I order from this place every week, sometimes 2 to 3 times a week, and I was never deceived. I would recommend it to anyone looking for richness in flavors.

We have been going to Clay Oven Ledgewood for over 13 years. It is the only Indian food we order. We’ve tried several other restaurants in and out of state/country and we choose to get our Indian food fix when we are home and are able to go to Clay Oven because we like it that much. Every dish is made to order, and if I wish to make an adjustment to my dish the restaurant always accommodates my request. We eat in and take away; either way we order everything turns out as expected and delicious. I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options

I thought it about time I wrote a review for this place because it's consistently delivered delicious food and great service and has become my favorite local Indian restaurant over the years.The food is always fresh and I highly recommend their Chicken Makhani and their garlic naan! I've tried many of their other dishes too but those two menu items are my favorites. You can get the food customized for your spiciness tolerance and it's a wonderful restaurant to take your vegetarian friends too if you want a place that has great dishes for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.The service is wonderful and the staff actually cares about your experience there. Even when the place is busy, they check in on you and helpfully suggest some good options to try so it's a great place for those who are new to Indian food as well.Thank you so much for all the great meals, Clay Oven!

Our absolute favorite. The food is great and the service is wonderful! 7 years later and I'm updating my review because the Clay Oven just keeps getting better. Everything is fresh and you can watch them prepare your food behind a glass window ensuring NOTHING is frozen despite what a bogus review has claimed. THE best Indian food anywhere, with outstanding service and an eye on consistent quality and dining experience! I've NEVER been disappointed.

I grew up in India and have been eating indian food since I was a kid but trust me the food I tried at this restaurant was disgusting. I personally own an indian restaurant in Canada. We ordered aloo prantha, samosa, onion bhaji and chai. Pranthas were frozen, onion bhaji was soaked in oil, samosa looked preheated and chai was flavourless. When I told the manager that there is no flavour he said it is a regular tea and didn’t even bother to offer any substitutes. When bill came up he still charged us for 2 chais even though we didn’t drink them. We didn’t want to argue but honestly these guys need to work on the food quality, customer service and most importantly listening to their customer. Very disappointed, hopefully I don’t get food poisoning.

Great food! I ordered yellow dal and saag paneer( Indian cottage cheese in spinach). Made me feel like I’m having my mom’s home cooked food. Less oil, less spice,less salt.

I have been coming to the restaurant for the past 25 years almost weekly. The food has always been fresh and lip smacking . We have now moved to Pennsylvania and visited the restaurant last night for dinner. Brought back so many fond memories. The quality of food and taste has been maintained for 25 years.Vegetarian options: Definitely try the chole, Bhagara Baingan, Shahi paneer and Methi naan and kulfi
