Clay Oven has taken over the former premises of Delhi. I was at first worried to be disappointed. The last time I ate at Delhi, I was not very satisfied with the spice index and the serving size.The real test was not the set lunch which my friend ordered. I asked for the spiciest Vindaloo and make it extra extra extra hot (in contrast masala tikka etc are not spicy) curries. The really really friendly indian boss was worried "Are you sure you can handle vindaloo?" It came and I love it!!!!!!!!!

It came and I love it!!!!!!!!! Just the color, it was so good! !! On my spice (hot) scale of 1-5, I say, it is a 3.9! But if you are not able to eat spicy food, this would be equivalent to a chilli bomb in your guts!! so beware not to say "i want it very very very hot".
I was given a free soup (nice small chunks of veg and beans and brewed into a thick broth). I like that too!
Nan came with the set lunch (friend's order). I insisted he should try briyani which is a very common rice eaten among indians. We were not disappointed. The rice grains were long grains, not greasy at all and cooked with a nice tumeric powder. I love the raisins on it, I used to eat rice cooked with raisins back home.
Friend tried mango lassi (indian yoghurt drink) and I asked for masala tea (if you do not order masala tea it is like not having a hk nai char to complete a cha chan ten meal)
I wish they serve the indian beer in larger bottles! I had to drink 2 small ones. Indians love to drink!
I will like to try the lamb (pre-order is necessary) next time if I gather enough hungry people to share it.
