"Our family went here to celebrate my aunt's birthday a few weeks ago and get my grandma out of the house for one of the few times during the Kovid. First, my family can wait a little hard. Not rude, just strange requests and what not. But our server took care of us very well all the time. One of our family members had a injured leg and had to maintain it. The server immediately got us an additional chair, no questions asked. When we sat down for the first time, there was no music that made it a little stupid. We asked her about putting up music, and she immediately put some wonderful Bollywood music videos on her huge TV. She took the time to take over the order and answer questions. It was a lot, but she treated us all with patience, and she was knowledgeable at the food. The food took a while to get out, but we were a big party, so fair enough. But when it did, everything was excellent. They told us what each court was like, how they brought them out, what was helpful as we share everything. First we thought we didn't order enough because it doesn't look like a lot. But we couldn't finish it all and had to take home with us, and some of us are quite big eaters. We were filled and it was all delicious. At the end of the meal we were asked for Dessert, and we answered that we went back to dessert, but when she saw that it was my aunt's birthday, she brought Gulab Jamun with a raspberry choke, one for each of us. That was really nice of her and an excellent way to pack the meal without too much for our later dessert. I could also say that she treated our grandmother with patience and extra respect, which was very nice to see. I also want to say that the two best bad reviews, one complains about the prices and the fact that they have signs of a buffet that they no longer have. With Kovid, food prices have doubled to many ingredients. Everyone has increased their prices. Look at almost any other restaurant. And as for the buffet, the restaurant would probably like to return if Covid ever allowed it again. It's a pretty lame move to write a bad evaluation in a place during the Kovid, especially when the things you complain are because of Kovid. Quality of food and service was not even mentioned. The other bad review says they don't even go because they don't like the reactions of restaurants. Well, they lack because this place was excellent, and we received a great service. Good enough if you want to read reviews and not go, but don't leave a bad review for a place you never tried. It's just stupid. Thanks for the great night, Monsun. It meant a lot to us because we don't get all together anymore. Go on what you do!"

"Attending my friend's wedding i got to know about Clay Oven Grill and Bar since the food for the evening was catered by them. Finger licking , lip smacking food served at its finest best. That would still be an understatement. Started my first round with the appetizers which there was an array (a combination of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options of, though i happened to pick the fish and paneer pakora along with the chicken tandoori pieces . The sauce that was served on the side had absolute amazing flavors written all over it. The chicken tandoori had flavor undertones of being prepared in a tandoor which you could tell right away. Can't get any more authentic with the way it needs to be prepared. The pakoras had just the right amount of crisp and the taste with the spices used during the preparation added gold to glory. Pretty phenomenal. Picked up a cup of tea along the way (though there was filter coffee on offer too, which i happened to sip late in the evening and boy it turned to be just amazing which had authenticity written all over it as it was neither too strong nor too mild and just the perfect taste as well. Didn't stop at round 1 as my belly rumbled for more and round 2 had home run written all over it!! A few events and a couple of hours later , dinner was served (eagerly awaited : . There were Dal Makhni , Butter Chicken , Goat curry (can't get over it , a mixed veggie platter along with a couple different type of Naan options (namely plain and Garlic with salad , green chutney (cilantro and raita (yogurt with some finely sliced onions, spices and herbs to enjoy. I started with Goat curry and some garlic naan and you could tell that the chef/cook who would have prepared it knew what he was doing. At times when i have eaten goat curry at weddings/receptions/catered events, you get that smell from the cooked goat/lamb meat which at times can throw people off and there wasn't even the slightest of traces of that as my nose is pretty sensitive to these nitty-gritty nuances. The curry packed a punch and the meat fell off the bone with the slightest of nibbles which definitely made it an enjoyable experience rather than a tussle. Naans were perfect and just the right and not overwhelming which they can be during such large gatherings. Absolute measure of good quality control being administered!! Next up for grab was butter chicken and i added some Dal makhni in a bowl along side and tasted the same with plain naan. The chicken had a very authentic flavor which was very different from a conventional butter chicken that you would get at any restaurant out there. This was more subtle though every chicken piece that i had was very tender and juicy (at times in the past i have had variations of butter chicken , where the chicken pieces become thick as rock and are a big turn off and melted in the mouth at the first bite. The Dal makhni was laced with ghee and definitely the aroma was filling the air. To top it rasmalai and carrot halwa were being served as the desserts for the evening. I happened to pick a couple of rasmalai pieces along with a big spoon of the halwa and the bar just kept getting raised to a new high!!! The time that the team at Clay Oven would have spent preparing these dishes definitely showed in the output. Serving this top notch quality food with an extremely humble and guest focussed crew wrapped up this special evening and must say kudos and great job to the folks at Clay Over Grill and Bar. I would love to drive down to the restaurant some time soon and would recommend this over any other restaurant that you think would even be a close second, since if they could maintain such high quality with such a large gathering they definitely would do so and more in a scaled down and a restaurant setting. So long!! Review from our last visit on 05/27/24 Google enforces a limit of characters in the review though I have detailed our last visit in my most recent Yelp review of the business. An absolutely amazing experience that we will definitely repeat!!!"
