Panneer Tikka was the best of the lot of what we ordered.
Gobi Manchurian- plus points were the crunch and absence of added food coloring. On the downside, it also had a bit more sweet flavor. This had more the flavor of General Tso’s rather than the typical Indo-Chinese Manchurian that you get in India and also in other restaurants here in the US. Average at most.
Dal Makhani- the main flavor was of butter and everything else barely came through. Average in my experience.
Saag Makai- the menu mentions baby corn as the ingredient but the corn had been replaced with regular corn taken off the cob. That was fine but the taste was completely off with sour notes giving an idea that an element of fermentation was going on. I can’t be sure if it was truly fermenting or if some flavoring led to this taste that completely wrecked the taste in our opinion. None of us really ate anything of this. This wrecked the whole experience.
The restaurant offered us complimentary dessert which was nice on their part. We chose Ras Malai. My family liked it.
Overall it was disappointing especially due to the Saag Makai entree’s taste. Gobi Manchurian and Dal Makhani could have been better. So, unfortunately we will not go there again.
This Indian restaurant has consistently impressed me during my two visits. The ambiance is pleasant, creating a welcoming atmosphere. On both occasions, the food lived up to expectations, earning it a solid four stars.
During my latest visit, our order included the mix Veg platter, Dal Makhani, butter chicken, Aloo gobhi, and a delightful bread basket. Each dish showcased authentic flavors, demonstrating the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The mix of spices in the curry dishes was well-balanced, and the Aloo gobhi had a comforting homestyle touch.
To complement the meal, we ordered chai, which was aromatic and comforting, and gajar halwa, a sweet ending to the dining experience. The menu variety ensures there’s something for everyone, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive.
While not reaching the pinnacle of a five-star rating, this restaurant consistently delivers enjoyable dining experiences with its delectable Indian cuisine. I look forward to returning for another satisfying meal.
I recently dined at Clay Tandoor, and the experience was exceptional. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including Chicken 65, veg platter, cashew potato rolls, dal makhani, paneer tikka, and chicken tikka masala, all of which were incredibly delicious. To end our meal, we opted for desserts. However, our server, who was relatively new and had joined just five days ago, was a bit misinformed about the menu. He mentioned that the Gulab Jamun came with two pieces each, so we ordered accordingly. Surprisingly, they arrived with three pieces, albeit not piping hot but only slightly warm. Nevertheless, the Rasmalai we ordered was exquisite. Aside from the minor hiccup with the Gulab Jamun, everything else at Clay Tandoor was excellent, and I look forward to returning for another delightful meal.
Staff is amazing – my chilli planner was bit spicy ( which was my fault ) . They offered complimentary desserts
Other neighborhood Indian restaurants are no at par , you will have to go o Schaumburg or naperville to get same quality .
So definitely try this out if you like Indian food
Had a great experience here! The butter chicken was absolutely delicious rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The portion size was generous, so it felt like a great value as well. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to for more authentic Indian food.
