Lots to like about Clay Oven. Friendly staff is always a good start, and the food didn't disappoint. That combination is the difference between an "OK" rating e.g. where service was a joke or food simply mediocre, and the "好美" smile.Butter chicken, dal makhani, channa (chickpeas) masala, tandoori chicken were all good.

Lots to like about Clay Oven. Friendly staff is always a good start, and the food didn't disappoint. That combination is the difference between an "OK" rating e.g. where service was a joke or food simply mediocre, and the "好美" smile.

Butter chicken, dal makhani, channa (chickpeas) masala, tandoori chicken were all good. Starter soup was really tasty but my friends oddly ignored it. Their loss. Group favorite was the ox tongue, we had it with Madras-style sauce that packed a darn good wallop. The local HK-ies loved it; the ABC wife was busting into a sweat. Half-pint (i.e. beijau junior) was quite taken with the plain naan; dad like the paratha (almost Malaysian style). Thumbs down to the masala pappadum which virtually dripped with oil and lacked the fresh toppings so common elsewhere.

And then there was the price. Wah, what's not to like?

Will have to return some time for the tandoori lamb leg (pre-order).
