The Clay Oven: Exceptional Indian Cuisine in St. Thomas

We recently ordered the Dinner for Two from The Clay Oven, along with a few extras—and everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and authentic, and each dish was perfectly cooked. From start to finish, the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're craving quality Indian cuisine and great hospitality!

St. Thomas’ hidden gem! Incredible Indian food… We ordered the lunch set for 2, which came with delicious samosas and vegetable pakoras. The chickpea curry and chicken korai were full of amazing flavor, served with rice and naan bread. One small suggestion for improvement: the chicken breast was a bit dry. Using darker meat in a curry sauce might enhance the texture, as Indian cuisine is typically cooked low and slow.

Absolutely incredible food! As a couple that lived in Brampton for a decade, we can attest to how legit the dishes are at this place. We ordered the meal for two and everything was phenomenal!!! If you likely spicy flavourful food, give this place a try! It only cost this much because we were lazy and used Skip

So soo good! Went with my bestie today, as a last minute, ‘Hey wanna try this place?’ kind of thing.. & soo glad she suggested it! She had the Chicken Madras, as she was looking for spicy.. and she got it! And LOVED it! (As we’ll for SURE be back, lol, she already know she wants to try the Vindaloo next!) I had the Lentil soup & WOW was that good!! & you HAVE to try their homemade naan bread! Even the smell will make your mouth water. This place KNOWS their flavors & combinations! Service was just as great.. from the server as soon as we got there & during; to the chef that even came out to see how everything was! (Always a bonus when that happens, in my opinion. :)) The only only thing ‘I’ personally wish? :) Is that some of the dishes could possibly be made with coconut CREAM instead of regular cream, for anyone with dairy or other nut alternative intolerances. :) I did ask, but that option wasn’t available.. but maybe one day!! :) And honestly, it’s ok.. because that soup? Was DIVINE! & I would go back just for that. :) 5 stars for sure :). (Would be 6/5 if they had coconut cream dishes! Haha) Great job Clay Oven! Thank you for a tasty lunch & such kind service! :)

Incredible food, amazing service, clean. Waiter was very attentive and polite. He made the experience one to remember. Lunch special was incredible, one of the best butter chicken I have had. Everything else on the plate was an absolute banger. Will be back!!

ordered from here on a whim for dinner. honestly, one of the best places we have ever tried. I had the butter beef. the sauce was so delectable, and the beef was tender. the rice is so good but I’d like to give special mention to the garlic naan. It was so fresh, soft and pillowy. everything we had ordered was awesome and we definitely will be coming in to try it some more! (4 stars because I used a delivery app, so I can’t give a full fair review but the food alone was amazing enough to give 4 stars.)

Very lovely restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We met the owner who shared alot about how the food is prepared. We have eaten Indian food all over Toronto over many years and this restaurant stacks up with some of the best of those. Obviously they use the best ingredients. We are very impressed and can't wait to go back and try some different items. We tried Sag Paneer for the first time today and we're blown away. One of the best vegetarian dishes I've ever tried. The owner said next time we can order any dish as spicy as we want. We like things hot. But even if you like your dishes mild you will still be delighted with the depth of flavors Clay Oven produces. We ordered extra dishes to take home. Mixed appetizer Platter, Tandoori Platter, Madras Lamb, Lentil soup. Onion Bhaji, Vegetable Pakora, Chicken Tikka. Garlic Naan, Vegetable Samosas. All fantastic! Clearly a very high quality restaurant.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely delicious! Clay Oven offers the best tasting Indian food I’ve had in a long time, with a unique East-meets-South fusion that sets it apart. Every dish is packed with authentic flavors, and you can really taste the freshness in the ingredients; everything was spot-on. The staff were welcoming and the service was great too. Highly recommend Clay Oven if you’re craving authentic east Indian cuisine with a creative twist. Will definitely be back!
