From our handmade paintings of rich colors representing the incredible Indian culture to our fabulous interior and stylish décor. Come listen to our romantic music and dine on our copper dishes on which we prepare delicious authentic Indian dishes using a centuries old traditional Clay Oven method of cooking that allows us to quickly char roast meats, poultry, and seafood at up to 1000 degrees. The Tandoori oven also bakes traditional nan breads crisp or chewy. All entrees are individually prepared to your specified taste and seasoning. We can easily accommodate 72 people for both lunch and dinner service.

Food was solid. Service was poor. We had to wait way too long for dishes to come out. Servers ignored us unless we flagged them down.

I have going to this place for years. I’ve noticed the dishes I ordered are different. The chicken mikhani has less chicken and strips not cubes. It’s mostly sauce. The Rogan Josh sauce is no longer creamy but watery.

The Clay Oven has been a favorite of mine for many years. Whether I order take out, dine in, or delivery, the food is always hot and delicious. I recommend this place to everyone, it's a restaurant that you have to try.

Food was great (authentic) and plentiful. Server was attentive and helpful. Nice ambiance! Good gluten free options like pakora and papadam, It was almost empty, with more take out orders than dine in customers. Not sure why?

Good was good but service could be better. There used to be light music; this time there was none. Server was busy watching her cellphone and did not check on our table, unless called.
