Clay Oven in North Lincolnshire

Great food,simple restaurant and clean, friendly, no music on,which i prefer ..no complaints at all...i will go again if im in scunny , very much enjoyed it..

Food was good,plenty of meat etc,not all sauce like some places. ,the starters were a bit small,and i would have liked it a bit more spicy ,but thats my oppinion ,,however, it was very nice ,very enjoyable...the place is plain and simple,nice and clean,no music,so you can talk. the server was good and the food didnt take long to arrive ( was only a few in at the time though) , the owner was very friendly,checked we were happy, had a chat, which is a refreshing change nowadays ..a good experience

Much improved service really enjoyed meal

Waited over 1hr 30 mins for delivery, when arrived didn't eat as was to late, £42 spent with delivery alot of wasted food

Best curry I've had for a while!

Having recently moved to the area, we are trying out the different takeaways that deliver. We happened upon the Clay Oven following a Google search for Indian Takeaways near our postcode. What a find! Deliciously crisp onion bhajis - tiny little crispy balls full of spiciness. We ordered vegetarian for a first try of this restaurant: the veggie korma was flavourful and crammed with large pieces of fresh vegetables, the Bombay potato was equally delicious, the Sag Aloo is fabulous, not greasy at all, but light and very tasty, and the cauliflower bhaji was great, perfectly cooked cauliflower and a lovely spicy thick sauce. We also ordered a Peshwari nan and a pilau rice. Both were excellent. Delivery was well within the time stated on the ordering section of the website. We've since ordered from this restaurant a few times and have not been disappointed with anything we ordered. We wish they offered a vegetarian samosa option, but there are plenty of other choices so it's all good.

5 star food was amazing staff was very nice with great customer service would highly recommend, very nice interior design inside, and price was great will definitely come again 👍

About the worst Indian we have ever eaten. Can make one at home to far exceed this. Runny and tasteless and barely warm. Service atrociously slow. What else can be said.

This is the first time I've tried this place. Placed an order at 17:50 for delivery, the confirmation said it would be delivered by 18:50. I called them at 19:05 and was told it would be here in seconds. They didn't answer the phone thereafter. The order arrived at 19:35. The garlic rice was just ordinary pilau, The special garlic chicken dish was just a few small chunks of dry chicken in a tasteless sauce.

Good food n service ...place was quiet bit it was Wednesday tea time.

Well that was officially the worst curry I have ever had if you could call it one. Ordered a chicken tikka masala , which was so watery, cold and honestly didn’t even taste like a curry more a brown tasteless runny gravy. Small chunks of chicken, very little and there was like a gunge in it, looked like fat off meat but broke apart. Never again. We have been before which was good and it has gone down hill so much or is it just takeaways you don’t bother with. Quality keeps your customers but we won’t be back !

Sorry won't be getting a delivery again from them or going there again food wasn't that good to say the least just warm when arrived and was pretty tastless not worth the money spent

Surroundings lovely and service good...... food sadly not as good as previous times ....

Very good, I described what sort of curry I want and the chef just made something that wasn't on the menu.

1st time visiting here, beautiful really enjoyed.

We were overcharged (didn't realise until later) 🤨 the food is really very good, rice portions are very disappointing for the price 😑 I haven't ever felt like that in an Indian restaurant before 🤔 very strange. We would have appreciated the food getting to us hotter, seems like it might have waited around before getting to our table. The food did taste exceptional though. Just check the bill 🙁

Before ordering I asked the question of what the mixed platter consists of, I was told onion bargies, Samosas and other meats. For £11.50 that's what I would expect so I ordered this with 2 other curries... when we got the food home I was disgusted to find that the mixed platter was in a small takeaway container, certainly not enough for 2 people. The curries were also horrible, one was very bland and the other just wasn't what it said on the tin (so to speak) .... a big waste of £30, the only thing it was good for was the bin, which is where it went. It felt like there just wanting to close up and gave us the scrapes.... NEVER to return

Excellent food quantity taste . I liked it

The curry was like a thick soup, pureed to an inch of its life. With a few cubes of dry meat in. No pieces of any veg or spice. Its all very pre prepared and it shows. The onion bahjis weren't homemade just pre frozen bought in tiny balls for £3.50. The curry was missing the rice it was advertised to come with. The madras was very mild for a hot rated curry and the tarka Dahl was very watery. We collected our food which took an hour, it was hot, but disappointing. Nothing like the curry restaurants in Birmingham more like an Iceland ready meal I'm afraid.

The best Indian in Scunthorpe by far.. so tasty 😋 and friendly staff .. highly recommended 👌......

Tucked in between a charity shop and a takeaway on Ashby High Street, you'll find an amazing little Indian restaurant that has a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Clay Oven has amazing staff who are helpful, informative and very funny. They helped me find a meal I'd like that didn't contain any of my allergens, which was cooked to perfection. It's been a very long time since I've truly enjoyed an Indian meal and I can not recommend The Clay Iven highly enough. Thank you for a great night guys.

The food was good the only downside was how long it took to arrive. Sunday evening with only 9 people in the restaurant yet we waited nearly an hour for our meals. Goodness knows what it's like when they are busy. Otherwise it was fine.

Nice food, good service. Would recommend!

Ordered the shared platter. Says it serves 2 but we have another portion which will not go to waste!. So much food, it was delicious & arrived earlier than we expected. The chicken was cooked to perfection & the sauces were delicious. Will definitely be ordering again. New ownership = massive positive changes. Thank you

The ambience of the restaurant and people's are very kind and very good customer service.The food was really nice and tried chicken briyani and lamb tikka was must try one.And also one of the good restaurants for whom want to try Indian dishes.

Very quiet but excellent food and service. Definitely a return visit on the cards.

Just had a super meal at Clay Oven.. staff we're friendly and welcoming. Food was tasty and cooked to perfection.. Thankyou

Certainly one of the better Indians on the high street. Good value and great tasting food

Don’t be fooled by the outside and nicely set tables I ordered a chicken tikka and it there was no sauce just chicken and onions in a tub if you’re thinking about going or ordering don’t get a pizza instead 0/10 would not recommend to a friend

AWFUL!! THE WORST curry I've ever eaten.. asked for indian garlic chilli chicken vindaloo hoyly. AT BEST, it was chicken in sharwoods sauce.. keema nan and not even 1/3 of it had meat init.. SHOCKING curry called to complain got told next time u order your rice will be free. will NEVER order from here again

Very tasty food. Staff friendly. Have eaten here several times when visiting family. Good value too. We had a prawn biriyani and a butter chicken dish with naan and rice.

Great food and excellent service

Great food excellent service thanks

Amazing service fast delivery and definitely worth the wait delivered within the hour stated. Hot tasty food.

Excellent, great evening out, staff very friendly and helpful, try it for yourselves

Good food, good service, good staff 👍

Beautiful food, great ambiance and attentive staff

Great food and service and very good value for money. Will go again

The evening we went the restaurant was busy so we had to wait a whole for our food. But when it did arrive it was delicious.

Called in for dinner after travelling back from leeds, and as usual the food and service were excellent. Never had a poor meal here in al the time the place has been open, highly recomended.

Best curry I’ve had since moving to Scunthorpe over a year ago. Driver was really nice too. Really recommend.

Great food ,a friendly atmosphere and excellent service,we had a really enjoyable evening

Me and my wife had a lovely meal here today. We was made to feel very welcome and the food was amazing. ☆☆☆☆☆

Excellent service and even better food will be going again 👌

Although I received my order a little late, the food was amazing as always, and arrived warm. 👌🏽 I appreciate New Year’s Eve is a busy night, although our food ran late we were not disappointed by the quality of the food x

Fantastic food, employees fast and efficient. Would definitely recommend. Best Indian I've had in scunthorpe.

3 of us visited last night and the food was amazing. Was recommended a dish not on the menu yet, Lazeez which I had chicken and have to say one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. Thank you for such amazing food and compliments to your team.

Best curry sauce i’ve had. was an issue that was sorted by friendly staff. Looking forward to returning for seconds! Staff coped well with a busy night yo say we were a party of nine. not sure who wrote the review brlow but you are pretending to be me as i am the party lead mentioned and dont appreciate you doing this. I’m guessing you are a disgruntled staff member who was unprofessional on the night telling me the manager was “a prick!” there are other ways to sort your issues you have made yourself look worse than anyone else.

We visited here on saturday 2nd october for a birthday meal there was 9 of us in total. The manager's attitude was appalling, he is not professional at all, he spoke to us very rudely and even made my mother cry, arguing at the bar with us just because we wanted to pay separate, we will never come again and I can honestly say with the manager I doubt you will get returning customers. The lady you had working came over and apologised for the service he gave us, she was so kind same cant be said about the manager.

Had a great meal here mid week. Very tasty and staff good too.

Food average. Service poor! The ‘manager’ was rude and condescending to our choice’s from his menu, and he managed to spoil our evening with his attitude towards us. I cannot recommend and wouldn’t return. A real shame!

lovely friendly atmosphere. spotlessly clean but welcoming. a range of dishes to suit every palate and willing to modify a meal if there was a wish to. All of us enjoyed our selected dishes, the service was 1st class with attentve friendly staff.. We will definitely be going again

Absolutely wonder food and service. Honestly can’t fault it. The food was delicious. I was recommended a new item coming to the menu and it was sensational. Everything was perfect throughout our meal and the staff made us feel at home as always.

Lovely food at a fair price, very friendly and helpful staff

Amazing place!! Everything here is amazing! A really lovely dinner, delicious food and fantastic service, it's the atmosphere, the incredibly polite staff which will always be there to assist you in any way you need. Honestly an amazing place to eat and spend dinner with family, friends, your partner or even alone. With the current covit-19 everything was clean and there were measures in place to make us feel safe and comfortable. Will most definitely be going there again

The only place we go for vegan curry. Always delicious.

Ordered a Clay Oven special biryani to only receive a standard chicken one. Very disappointed that the order was wrong

We both had butter chicken. It was only warm but not very tasty and quite a watery sauce but unnaturally thick. I asked if it was a creamy dish and they said it was ( I know it varies place to place). The naan breads were stodgy thick snd cold and not garlic that I had ordered. Just very disappointing. My husband had the same with rice and thought it ok.

Ordered meal for 2 absolutely stunning, huge amount of food, was ready on time, and best food had in a long time

Delicious takeaway, we had the set meal for two but it could have easily fed 3 or even 4 at a pinch. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will visit again.

Absolutely brilliant food and atmosphere...

Fantastic food and good covid measures in place

A bit of a late choice but was able to fit us in great meal and company starter good main excellent best garlic lamb curry for a while will be back and thank you to the manager for coming for a chat bery good

Food good but very disappointed with the service as upon arrival we were told to wait outside until there was room inside so upon the time of our booking we went back inside and was very shocked as to how busy it was and some of the tables were definately not socially distanced and the staff had either no masks at all or not placed over their noses which defeated the object.One waiter just about threw the food on our table and when we asked him if we could have more drinks his words were"what do you want".Before we left the staff started rearranging furniture looking like removing tables and chairs to make it more socially distanced.Lastly after we paid the bill we were given a note book with other customers name addresses and tel numbers on(which breaches data protection) and asked to write down our details for track and trace.So all in all good food but terrible service and during this pandemic was made to feel on edge and vulnerable and will not be going there again.

Nice food but not very hot when it came to the table in my opinion

Beautiful food every time, attentive staff

Had our first post lockdown meal there. Staff all wore masks and gloves and there were tables put out of action to ensure an adequate distance between diners so it all felt safe. Food was very good and tasty. I had Piazee chicken for the first time which although not very spicy was full of flavour and I would definitely recommend. My partner had the Koray mixed grill which she enthused about. Service was very prompt and the staff friendly. We got our £20 off the bill under the Eat Out To Help Out so that was pleasing!! Would recommend and we shall definitely return.

Fabulous service & the food was hot & tasty. Our favourite Indian restaurant by far!

We had a take away from the Clay Oven tonight. Chosen for its 4 1/2 star rating on trip advisor. We both had butter chicken which I was very underwhelmed by. No salt at all, no flavour at all, no taste of butter at all or garlic. Tasted more like a flavourless chicken tikka. No depth of flavour. The naan bread was supposed to be garlic, no flavour of garlic and was tough like it had been warmed in a microwave. Even the mango chutney was so thin it wouldn’t stay on the poppadom. Won’t be using Clay Oven again! Very disappointing.

Ordered food for delivery told 30 to 40 mins food arrived after 1 hour and 20 mins. After several years of eating here inside and takeaway. I can clearly say this was the worst we have ever had such a shame wont b visiting or ordering again

Working in Scunthorpe for a few days so decided to venture out and try the local Indian restaurant, and wasn’t disappointed!Started with onion bahjis 3 quite small ones but crispy and nicely presented with a sort of curry mint sauce! Colleague with me had samosas (two in a portion)and was very pleased with them. On to the mains lamb madras and a chicken madras, garlic rice and peshwari naan, lamb was really tender and chicken was also superb the sauce was lush just how I like it “hot and lemony” ample of rice in a portion and naan breads were so light and fluffy. It was all washed down with some lal tafoon which you very rarely see about! So overall a really nice meal and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here! The owner and manager are both very friendly and don’t hesitate to strike a conversation with you.

Good food but often a long wait for orders

Excellent service and friendly staff

Nothing exceptional but nothing bad......a good meal all enjoyed my our small party. Very good service though, not rushed. Waiters all smartly dressed and restaurant was very clean, no noisy background music.

Very nice food still sizzling when it comes to your table.

Fab meal with family, great friendly staff. well worth a visit.

We have dined here a couple of times now when visiting friends who live locally and eat here regularly. A small restaurant in an unprepossessing setting, it stands out for the quality of its food and the personal nature of the service. Better than average high street Indian fare and well worth a try if you are in the area.

great food very reasonably priced with their special menu very attentive staff had a great evening don't do indian veryoften but this is a real gem

Simply the finest Indian cuisine this cannot be bettered together with wonderful service and immaculate table linen all make it a memorable experience

Great service and fantastic food, first time we have tried it and definitely will be using again

Had a very tasty curry on the mid-week special. Very good value! Just £12 for onion barji, garlic rice, naga chicken and bombay alo to share. Will be back soon!

We had a lovely evening and the food was very tasty . The set menu was great too with affordable prices .

We went there tonight for the first time for a spontaneous date night after a few hectic weeks the food was to dye for and the staff were very polite and helpful just what we both needed a few hours of time just the two of us to unwind and relax will definitely be back best Indian in Scunthorpe

Checked the website and google for information on their opening times which stated they were open til 11.30pm. We paid for a taxi and when we arrived at 10.50pm told they were closed and they had told the chef he could leave early. Very disappointed as this was a rare birthday treat when we had a sitter for our son.

This was our first visit to Clay Oven, and we were pleasantly surprised. We were very well looked after, and the food was good. We’ll certainly visit again

Very friendly, excellent service and amazing food. We went at 9.30pm on Friday 21.6.19 .

Pros: Visited 27/05/19 food was delicious, had a starter and a main and could not fault either what so ever.

pleasant meal not many in mid week but cooked to order great bargees !! will certainly visit again very reasonable prices great mid week offer

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Owner, Moz Rahman, is a top man. Fantastic service

I wrote a review a couple of years ago about a takeaway we had here and wasn't that impressed. But I have to say we went in for a sit down meal last night and it was lovely, faith fully restored in this place. The food was great although my eyes were too big for my stomach. The staff was very pleasant and open to a laugh. And good luck with the wedding you have booked in tonight. :)

Lovely place and staff. Food excellent

Just had a fantastic curry there to night great food. Friendly staff , nice relaxed atmosphere will certainly call again.

Food on a previous visit really good and good value but recently visited to find they seem not able to cope when full out of a party of ten most of our meals were only Luke warm I had to send mine back to be reheated very disappointing would make me think twice about taking a large group again.

Great food but unfortunately the man with glasses who served us was so miserable, ignorant and disrespectful we wanted to leave almost straight away I never understood why people that are so obnoxious happened to work in restaurants serving people they would be best served getting a job on a building site, pathetic.

Food was excellent Dansak was probably the best I've tasted in a long long time..will defo go back there..

My recommendation, ask for the naga curry with duck... so tasty! Very helpful and when I wanted it hotter they brought me a pot of chilli paste to hot it up. Waitress was excellent and got our order right first time, although a naan was missed off, they went and got one and didn’t charge us for it. Overall great, certainly be coming again.

Nice food. Friendly staff. Worth a visit

The food and staff are exellent

Great food and excellent service

Delicious Shashlik balti, good service and choice of drinks. Nice atmosphere.
