   Lovely food, fresh and tasted delicious, some guidance on levels of spice was needed but waitress was able to help. It might be better if the menu gave some guidance in this regard too. Very happy with our choices and had a lovely meal, we will definitely visit again.

   Clay’s is one of our favourite restaurant’s and we’ve been customers since 2018. Amazing dishes, full of flavours and great spices. Nandana and Sharat, the owners, are lovely people and make you feel like you’re dining in their home. If you like great food then go!

   Lovely food , great choose of beers , service could be better , little slow , worse point was the bill being dropped on the table by gentleman from behind the counter , but nothing said , felt like hurry up to pay the bill and leave , not the best way I would say , especially as it was nice evening apart from this .

    The best curry in Reading and for far beyond. Nandana and the service team remain unendingly welcoming, whilst Sharat and the kitchen team are wonderfully skilled in creating delicious, authentic and consistently brilliant dishes. I will never not recommend Clay's enough to anyone in the vicinity. Accessible levels of spice for those with lower tolerance, and satisfyingly warming for those who enjoy it, all the dishes are varied, homely and of the highest quality. Great local craft beer on draft too, always a bonus. There is nothing routine or similar here to so many other Indian restaurants you have no doubt frequented over time. The food is full of depth, variety, uniqueness and flavour and is unlike nearly anywhere else.
