Clay Oven Indian Cuisine

The service was TERRIBLE… Terrible terrible. And they were empty and they seemed to have charged us for sharing. The food was very good. But the service was so bad I couldn’t even do a better review. We were the only people in there and I had to ask if I could order.
It was pricey and I shared
Definitely would find elsewhere. I was disappointed.

Didnt like the paneer makhni. The curry sauce is a standard one used for all entrees it seems. Service wasnt friendly at all and noone cared for serving water after serving food. Was charged extra for some onions on the side for the first time in my life. They have a mandatory tip of 15% because i feel they cant earn it.

The service was excellent. The authenticity of the dishes we choose was spot on. Parking was convienent.
I recommend ordering your dishes on the spicy side. It excencuates the different layers of flavors within the dish.

We got food here during our visit to Universal and contrary to other reviews we liked the food and also think the cost was reasonable. The only bad part was that the rice was little undercooked. Staff was very friendly and I wasn’t charged any mandatory charge.

Food was ok and on a little expensive end.
Our spice level was taken care of as requested.
Staff was friendly.

Food is pretty good, I do agree that the prices are kind of on the higher end. The discount helps a bit.
The service is decent, i don’t see the mandatory 15% that others talked about.
Overall it is a good spot.

We’re from out of town and we stopped in because they had a solid vegetarian menu.
This place is fantastic… the food, the service, the space. We had vegetable pankora, chicken somosas, and palek paneer. The host/​chef was exceedingly nice and the food was amazing.
I’m picky about where I eat. I would eat here all the time if I lived here.

Ordered butter chicken, tandoor mixed platter, baigan bartha, raita, and 2 garlic naan for 3 of us. All mild except for tandoor, medium spiced. Delicious!!! Medium tandoor was perfectly seasoned but not spicy… Got butter paneer instead of chicken but that was likely due to my lack of Indian pronunciation. Almost everything was eaten, we rolled out of there happy and impressed. Used a Unilocal checkin discount and when I mentioned it they had already applied it because they saw it on my phone when we ordered! Nice!!! Friendly and average service, would come back and recommend.

Excellent spice combination! Wonderful presentation and such nice host and wait staff.
If you are in Kissimmee FL, this is a must do!

We are big fans of Indian cuisine and Clay Oven is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. The food is always delicious, portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the staff are friendly and efficient. We try to eat here every time we visit Orlando.

All Over priced items, on top of bill be prepared to pay 15% mandatory tip, when I try to understand why, their behavior was like it’s their right regardless if customer’s own decision, that’s rude… but I have no issue with food so 2 stars from me.

WORST PLACE EVER. We had come to Orlando, and wanted to have this type of food. The server was terrible. Our server, was MIA half the time– on this hot day he served us warm water, had to ask for ice twice. The chicken kadhai was ok, but the biryani was too spicy and the rice was sticky. The woman working there tried to pick up his slack, which was sweet of her, but the fact is, this place sucks. I read the reviews and thought I’d overlook the 1 stars, basically because we had been at the park all day and were starving– but my advice to everyone– go to Golden Corral or even McDonalds which are next to this place. It’s OVER PRICED and was disgusting. The ras malai tasted like cardboard. Gross. Do yourselves a favor and heed this warning.

OVER PRICED FOOD !!
Had to get a flashlight to look for the lamb in the lamb curry, for $ 18.99 I had 4 pieces of lamb. Butter Chicken for $ 16.99 it did not Teast good.

I won’t be returning here. We stood around for a good 5 minutes until someone came to seat us. Service isn’t their strong point.
Ordered the veggie samosa, that was actually the only good thing. The paneer makhni we ordered ended up being way too spicy. I had to flag down the server to ask that they either add some sauce or redo the dish. She clearly watered it down. When she brought the dish back, it was runny. So odd.
Once we were done attempting to eat the food, I asked for a to-​go container, she brought out a styrofoam container. I asked if she had a container with a lid, since it was so watery. This is where it gets good. She brings us a plastic container with a lid… that had clearly been rinsed out, with water marks all over. I looked in to the container and it was dirty. I just left everything there and left.
Needless to say, they just over spice everything to cover the lack of flavor. Like I said the vegetable samosa was the only good thing from what we ordered. I’d recommend finding another place. The restaurant looks run down and dirty as well, poor choice.

Let me start by saying huge and I mean huge portions!!! The food was great, good flavor and spice. The onion kulcha was awesome. One of the best mint chutneys I have had the pleasure to eat. The staff was friendly and very attentive to our needs.
Ordered:
Vegetable samosa
Vegetable pakora
Chicken tikka
Palak paneer
Lamb vindaloo
Onion kulcha
Potato naan
Lots of leftovers enough for lunch for three!
So yummy.

Food was great! Flavorful. Had better Aloo but still great. Typical portion sizes. Prices were reasonable. Service was fast, attentive and friendly. If in Orlando again, would definitely come back!

There are not too many places to eat Indian food in the Orlando area, which makes this place a welcome addition to the food scene. I have gone here a few times over my time living in Central Florida and enjoyed everyone of them.
My absolute favorite thing there is the Chicken Tiki Marsala and their Naan. OMG do not get me started on their naan. Soo velvety, so nice to dip into the sauces of whatever you are having. I try to get two orders of it overtime I go .
Another item which sets this place higher is the heat intensity. They make their food in a lower, median and higher. I always get the medium, which is just the right amount, not too spicy, not too weak. Their other levels are right on par as they should be too, very consistently.

Good Indian food that will be familiar to all UK visitors.
I had a chicken madras — very tasty and comes with rice. Probably a little spicier than the same dish back in the UK. Wasn’t so keen on the popadoms — a little over cooked, but that’s the only complaint I have.
Portion sizes are BIG — don’t be tempted to over order!
Extremely helpful and friendly staff.
Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because it doesn’t quite feel like a 5 star experience. I’m being picky though, and I highly recommend for your curry fix :-)

Great naan, friendly service.
We were happy to find this little gem near our hotel, made a great dinner before returning to disney.
Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food provided. Beats the pants off find to golden corral or sizzler nearby!

This is a great Indian restaurant located somewhat in the vicinity of the Disney parks. Their menu consists of all your standard Indian dishes. The service is friendly and fairly quick. The prices were a little high for what I am used to when it comes to Indian but the food did not disappoint.
The dishes we ordered were:
*Naan
*Lamb rogan josh
*Chicken tikka masala
*Paneer makhani
The naan was cooked perfectly and the ratio of softness to crunchiness was spot on. The other three dishes were also excellent and had really great flavor. The only thing that wasn’t quite up to par was the riata sauce which we asked for on the side.
I would highly recommend checking out Clay Oven if you enjoy Indian and want to escape from the madness of all the chain restaurants in the area.
