Clay-oven claims to serve contemporary Indian cuisine & just the look of the restaurant frm outside made me like it.
I liked the décor & ambience. The music played was nice too. What annoyed me a little was the servers’ ignorance. They didn’t know anything abt any dish in the menu. They couldn’t even pronounce the names of the dishes properly. They were unable to even take down our order correctly. But the food was really good. The garlic nan here is delicious. Lahori aloo tastes different, worth a try & the kadai jhinga was mind blowin…the gravy was full of flavour & the prawns were succulent..I loved it! The gajar halwa here is the best! It doesn’t have khoya/mawa like gajar halwa usually has but its still rich & delicious. But yeah, it’s a no-no for the health conscious ppl.
So yeah, I like the place & I liked the food. But it isn’t exactly a great idea to hire Nepali servers in an Indian restaurant!

atop one of my fave pastry shops(Cake Walk),when ever i get cravings for prawn biriyani this is the place to go. it was some time before i could wein off their prawn biriyani and try other dishes. but once i did i was not disappointed . mutton rogan gosh was simply lipsmacking.
the decor and ambiance is bright and cheerful. the only down part is service being pass muster, nothing great, nor too shabby. and of course, after dinner you can always treat yourselves to something lavish from cake walk. all in all, a dining experience i've never had a reason to complain about though i'm a regular visitor!
