Clay Oven Cuisine of India San Mateo

The food is quite tasty and interesting. The waiters are friendly and patient enough to explain to us on our questions on the Menu.We had a good time there and will come back again

We love Clay Oven for it's traditional Indian food. We ordered the garlic naan, raita, calamari which wasn't available, the assorted tandoori meats, the lamb curry, and okra. Everything was delicious, the only exception was the naan, which seemed to have been prepared earlier so wasn't as warm and fresh as usual. Service was very good, no rushing us and the ambiance is really nice, it reminded me of some of the upscale restaurants I visited when in India, so a great, pleasant experience overall

Coming from the uk and having travelled to India several times. This Indian restaurant serves excellent food , authentic , full of flavour. Servers could be a little friendlier

I haven't been to this restaurant in a few years, but I loved it before. Unfortunately this experience was different. I marked the the noise level as energetic but this was due to the crying baby and child, otherwise it would have been moderate. We asked our waiter for mild spiced food and when it finally came out took a while there was no spice. It took a while to flag anyone down to ask if they could add a little spice to at least one of our dishes. When the dish came back it was extremely spicy. We had a different waiter towards the end of our meal and he was very nice. The mango dessert we had was delicious! I was disappointed at this visit, but will probably try this place again since it was great before

Wonderful lunch buffet during the week, and THE BEST butter chicken anywhere! Great samosas, great na'an, tandoori chicken and many other traditional favorites in a nice setting and good service
