Reviews
The restaurant feels quite dated in both décor and general atmosphere, which already sets expectations a bit lower. It was also surprising to see that Christmas decorations — including the tree — were still up at the end of January.
What really impacted the visit was noticing a small cockroach on our table during the meal. While these things can happen, it’s difficult to ignore and it understandably raised concerns about cleanliness.
Service was acceptable but not particularly memorable. With some updating and greater attention to hygiene, Clay Oven could be much better. As it stands, it’s an average experience overall.
The food is the star here. Starters like samosa (crispy pastries topped with tangy chutneys and yogurt) and paneer tikka (grilled cottage cheese marinated in spices) are flavorful and fresh. Mains showcase robust, aromatic curries. The butter chicken is a crowd-pleaser, rich and creamy without overwhelming the palate, while the lamb rogan josh (tender meat in a fragrant tomato-based gravy) highlights the kitchen’s skill with spices. Vegetarian options shine too, particularly the dal makhani (slow-cooked lentils) and aloo gobi (spiced cauliflower and potatoes).
Don’t skip the breads: the garlic naan is pillowy and charred to perfection in the namesake clay oven. Portions are generous, though prices lean slightly higher than average for Rabat (mains from 90-150 MAD). The mango lassi provides a refreshing counterpoint to bold flavors, and the gulab jamun (syrup-soaked dough balls) offers a sweet finish.
While the space is small and can get busy on weekends, the overall experience feels genuine and satisfying. Clay Oven stands out in Rabat’s modest Indian food scene for its consistency, quality, and homestyle warmth. A solid choice for craving-driven nights or introducing friends to Indian cuisine.

The food itself was lovely. The first Indian restaurant that had onion na’an, which was fluffy and amazing.
Overall would def recommend.
I’m a regular customer in Casablanca and it’s my first time trying the one in Rabat and I wasn’t disappointed with the food.
The butter chicken was so yummy as well as the tikka masala, it had a slight spicy hint which added even more flavour.
The citron rice has a very special flavour and it’s super light. The garlic naan is fluffy and melts in your mouth.
I also loved the entrees , they were super crispy and the sauce given with them were so delicious!
The mango lassi was so refreshing and cold just how I like it
Would I come back ? Would I recommend it ?
ABSOLUTELY 100%
One thing , the atmosphere is quite dark and the place is small unlike the Casablanca villa which I much prefer, but the food is just as good
