The Clay Oven

Always a brilliant curry, delivery occasionally can be a little slow, but always worth the wait. Customer for 15+ years, and just about to stick another order in.

Lovely naga donner kebab; asked for not too spicy! Was amazing!

Last night ordered pizza and curry, not a massive order but 27quid is 27quid at the minute.Was about to cancel when it arrived after 1hour 55mins, as you can imagine pizza was freezing but worse was curry had burst and was in bottom of carrier bag which was binned immediately. Did try a slice of pizza but was like chewing cardboard so was also binned, really disappointed, never again.

Ordered a meal for home delivery tonight. Food lovely. However delivery driver helped himself to a tip. This is unacceptable. He would have received a better tip if he hadn't stolen from us. This puts me off ordering from clay oven again. Family and friends will be informed of this behaviour

Order: Onion bhaji starters, mushroom pilau rice, peshawari naan, vegetable korma, and vegetable dansak.First time I've used The Clay Oven in a while as I have got my wife to choose any takeaways we get. I now feel a right muppet for recommending it. Started well as the order was on time for collection. Once home and we got ino the food I found the onion bhaji was tasty; crispy with a nice sauce and slice of lemon.Then we opened the mains. At this point we found out that my wife's vegetable korma was in fact chicken. I called straight away and was told the order would be corrected and could be sent out, but would be quicker if collected. I decided to collect rather than sit with my own food getting cold while we waited for the delivery.Once into the food we both found it very salty, to the point my wife couldn't actually eat her meal. It may have been the mushroom pilau rice we shared, or the food in general. The peshawari naans were nice, but were a bit tough by time we got into them due to the mix up.I was surprised by the very basic apology given over the phone and when I picked up the replacement order. There was no offer of compensation by way of food or discount for the mistake, not that I asked, but in hindsight I would have thought even the offer of a few poppadoms would have been a nice gesture.Overall a dissapointing experience for somewhere I used to order from every other week. Looks like it's back to ladies choice next time.

Waited over an hour for delivery. phoned up to enquire & ended up cancelling. Snotty kid on phone was a d*ck, and got off telling me my refund would be 5 to 10 days. Keep your money and go elswhere!

Ordered the meat thali, food was delivered quick and was delicious, good portions and the delivery guy was pretty cute too

First time I have ordered from Clay Oven and was impressed. The site said the order would be an hour and it came in about 50 mins which is great, I appreciate realistic and honest delivery times. I went for a methi lamb and naan bread and some samosas to bulk out the order as breakfast fodder so I can only comment on the main at this point (the samosas do look awesome mind). The curry was really generous with loads of lamb and not at all greasy or oily. It was a bit light on the methi for me but I am a massive fan of its bitter taste and I understand that they have to cater for everyone who isn't me and I could always order extra next time. The standard chilli heat level is higher than my South Shields' educated palate but again that's me and now I know where they're coming from I will ask for mild next time. I this sounds like a lot of negatives but it's not, it was a lovely curry delivered when they said it would be and I will defo use them againEdit: out of sheer greediness just had one of the meat samosas - awesome!

Lkvrly food. Our meal was flavoursome, hot and tasted freshly prepared. Nan breads were lovely and the onion bhaji was delicious. It was quite busy and I arrived at the time as instructed during pre-order, but still had to wait a good 10 minutes. I'm being a little picky though as staff were very friendly and apologetic for my wait. Would definitely go again and recommend. All round good experience.
