Clay Oven

This is one of my favourite Indian restaurants and I have been enjoying the food here for years. It is your 'local' Indian if you are looking for a great meal without an expensive price tag, or grabbing a takeout. Do a great mixed grill and butter chicken and always love their lassi. Staff are really friendly and there is a nice atmosphere.

I have been eating here for the past 12yrs. IMHO it is Ealing’s best Indian. For eating in, takeaway or private function, it serves up wonderful food, at affordable prices.

The staff are long-term, recognise you when you visit (and you recognise and know them) and are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. quick and polite.

The food covers much of the Indian/Asian continent and can be ordered to taste… Want you’re dish a bit hotter, spicier, less Ghee, whatever? You only have to ask! The chefs are talented and deliver dishes which are as pleasing to the eye, as they are to your mouth.

My favourite - The Karai Gosht is great and the portions are generous and filling. I have tried many of their dishes and never been sorry.

They have a number of private suites for parties, weddings. christening and such like. At weekends, there is often an Indian wedding being celebrated in the back rooms, with music that lightly filters through into the restaurant. But it never seems intrusive.

There seems to be a small number of on-line detractors, however, one only has to visit the place to see “a packed house” nearly every evening. Its one of Ealing’s best, and its been there since 1983. Its got to be doing something right.

Minus points - Toilets are too small for such a large place. Drinks are somewhat over priced.
