   We were surprised it wasn’t busier. Food was good. Lamb korma was excellent. Saag paneer good, but not enough cheese Our server must’ve been in training. He was lovely. But he barely understood English. I still don’t get why they’re not busier.

   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.

    Well prepared food. Good ambience. We had a 6:15pm reservation. Only one table occupied besides ours. Good time to go and get excellent service.
