Claye Chef in Harrow

This place is usually awesome but this time it was thoroughly disappointing. The food was really bland and dull

The food was cold and not cooked properly, they also used egg fried rice instead of normal rice, I was then offered a refund however I have still not received it the manager was very rude and told me to take my business elsewhere disgusting service especially as I order from there quite regularly I will not be ordering from there again and I'll also be telling my friends and family about the terrible experience

Took 2 hours, order missing when finally arrived. Cold, When speaking to staff on phone was also rude.

Food was very very late. Over 40 mins past the expected delivery time and food was almost cold. Nice taste but very disappointed

Have ordered from here before and never had a problem but this time the food arrived cold and the popadoms were totally smashed food was just not nice

when food came late at 7.45pm not 6.55pm, food was cold so needed to be reheated

Chocante! ! ! Más de 2 horas para nuestra entrega. Un montón de veces. llamó . . "sí está en camino bla bla bla'. Nuestra hija estaba en cama. . . frío. Nunca más. Con el servicio de atención al cliente como este no va a perder todos sus clientes, que deberían avergonzarse de sí mismos

Best Indian takeaway... ordered few times.. was never disappointed... good is taste and quality. Reasonable price for taste, quality and quantity as well ... quick delivery, close to my place but was too lazy to walk down to pick up.

Requested it to be delivered at 20:10 it arrived at 19:20. Not impressed. Why give the option of a time frame if it is not adhered to.

Since the change of chef. Chicken korma pilau rice & bombay aloo is outstanding. Doesn't leave you uncomfortably bloated after. Amazing food. Amazing menu revamp!

Es el lugar más patético que he visita. En primer lugar parece totalmente sombreado con cortinas rosas y horrible ambiente. La orden mínima tiene que ser de £6. 95 por persona. El camarero nos sirvió con 2 bandejas de chutney que nos dimos cuenta más tarde que era cobrado por separado (con popadum y no nos dijeron que su pago). La comida vegetal era insípido (aceitosa y sin sal) e incluso el sábado por la noche estaban ocupadas sólo 2 mesas. Mi marido preguntó por algunas cosas como ensalada de cebolla y limón, coca cola, y en esto el camarero empezó a hacer frente a frente. Ahora, cuando la ley llegó el cargo de coca-cola era diferente al de la tarjeta en el menú y cuando les pregunté el waitre dijo su oportunidad y la que teníamos era vidrio (de nuevo, nadie nos preguntó y no nos dijeron que había dos mediciones de coca), sin embargo, sirve no hay nada mencionado en la carta ni nadie nos dijo. El waitre era extremadamente grosero y dijo que debería ser comer en casa y no eran bienvenidos. Nunca he visto cualquier restaurante tratar al cliente tan mal. Yo no recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera. Gracias

Gourmet night is no longer on the delivery menu. It used to be such good value. Wish it was still there as I could only order a limited selection.

I order take away from this restaurant and the food was terrible. Asked to no add onions a food came with full of onions. Call the restaurant and Staff/Manager was rude and without maners. Definitely will not visit this restaurant in my life. Not recommended

The food is good but it is expensive for what you get. Also my naan was missed off the order so that was annoying.

Been going to the claye chef for a good few years now. Decor inside could probably be updated and also the toilet could do with a refurb but the food is always beautiful and nothing is ever a problem with the staff

Very bad service!!! Mention on the notes that I don't want onions....received food with full of onions! Call the restaurant and escuse was that was not specified...well if don't specified means that no onions in any of dishes. Also the person who I spoke with was rude and was not interested in clarify or find a solution...just said next time i should specify in the comments.....I said i won't eat this food because i don't like onions and he said that he couldn't do anything. I said for sure i won't order again and he said reply " No problem....don't order again from us" and put the phone down on me. Really doesn't have maners, very rude and poor...very poor customer service.

We stayed at a hotel close by and were appaalled at the cost of the menu and as such thought get a takeaway what a great chouse fantastic delivery a Saturday night and within 40 mins and the food was plentiful and very tasty one of the best currys i have ever had , and i have friends that own a resturant.Can,t recomend higher.

Forgot one of my dishes and told me that they couldn't do anything about it as there delivery driver had gone home. The order arrived really quickly so I'm pretty sure they were rushing to finish for the evening and gave my order to someone else. It's a shame, as the food wasn't bad, but won't be ordering from here again.

Great food but had to ring twice to find out when it would be delivered

Food was cold by the time it got to us also we was missing one of the main dishes that we then had to wait 10mins for

Very poor. Food was uncooked. Asked without onions and food was with full of onions. Also very small portions. I won't recommend

Food was gorgeous, delivery time was just too long as always but food was still hot really enjoyed with order again.

Have used this takeaway service before. Usually eat in the restaurant. Was a little disappointed as I did request for two of the meals to be a mild, not at full strength. When the food arrived, it appears not to taken note of my request. Apart from that the food was top draw. Suspect that the note on the order was missed. Will use again.

Fast friendly service, lovely hot food.

Very watery food. Curry watered down, not rich or filling. Paneer pakora was awful- soggy and bland. Mushrooms bland and soggy. Possibly one of the worst 'Indians' i've had. One to avoid again. Also very bad delivery waiting times.

Food was ok, portion wise was shocking(don't really get much) bit bland needed more taste to it.. And delivery service was ok

It look a hour and a half to get our order. When I called the restaurant to check they said they had the order come in late from Just eat. When I asked Just eat they said they had no system problems and just told me to leave a review. Will not be using this service again. When the food finally arrive it was nice.

Food took 1hr 15mins to arrive and it wasn't worth the wait. Blandest Indian I have ever had.

Chef Claye utilizado por un número de años y la comida siempre ha sido muy bueno, bien embalados, bien preparada y sabrosa, el contenido de carne ha reducido un poco debido a costos me imagino pero suficientemente para 1 persona.La entrega es siempre rápido y educado si tengo una queja es el sitio web no parecen tener 1 o 2 platos que falta que en el menú de entrega

Excellent food and service. Thank you!

Best takeaway Indian inside M25

Good food, fast delivery and pretty decent price

Excellent madras, bursting with flavour! Definitely ordering from here again.

Visité el Claye Chef anoche con algunos familiares. Solíamos ir todos los años hace tiempo cuando vivimos en la zona, así que quería darle una oportunidad y ver lo que era ahora.Todos tuvimos una principal, lados y algunas naan - mi comida era preciosa pero el gambas biriani era cálido y no caliente.Para la comida más de 2 botellas de vino para 5 personas llegó a 90 libras, lo que me pareció razonable.

It was 30 minutes late and they forgot the drink, tyres to blame it on the driver when it was not his fault, and then tried to make us not have a drink we payed for luckily the driver came back with the drink will not be orders again!!!!!

Good food delivered quickly. Containers clearly marked, so we knew who's was who's 😀👍

Everything I ordered tasted great!

Food was really tasty -delivery was on time & very polite delivery man!

Fuimos a este lugar porque está bastante cerca de nuestro lugar. El ambiente de este restaurante es bastante tranquilo con una cierta canción india cultural jugando en el aire. La comida es una maravilla. Yo tenía pato Masala, que era muy agradable. Bien hechas y bien condimentadas con una buena textura en la salsa. Lo tenía con chili pan Nan, que también era bueno. Buena relación calidad-precio! Sin duda se lo recomendaría a mis amigos y familias.

Food arrived in good time, delivery driver appeared polite and friendly. My only gripe would be the amount of chicken in the dansak. A lot of sauce but not that much meat.

Arrived quickly food was hot and really good

Timing was spot on. Delivery bloke was pleasant. Only downfall was the madras seemed very plain. Lovely spice but no flavour and I normally love the curry. Not really a downfall just maybe different cook or something wasn't added in. Overall.. Never really have a problem with this curry house. Lovely xx

Karahi Chicken had lamb in it and tasted like a thick, salty gravy - horrible. The Korma was completely tasteless. A good Korma should have depth of flavour without chili heat. This was just bland. The only nice thing was the naan. Not authentic Indian cuisine at all. Will not be ordering again.

Saag aloo was burnt and inedible poppadoms tasted off, not good.

They were late this time, when they did turn up at door they forgot the mushroom rice, rang up to tell them they did apologise and said they would give free poppadoms to say sorry. Had to wait another 30 mins and they didn't give any free poppadoms, night was ruined as it was my birthday too.

Very good once again. Will keep ordering if the high standards continue :)

Always order from Claye chef! 5th time now! And I'm about to order again! Great food, great taste, nice all round

Curry was nice to start but then found a few horrid bits of chicken. Naan had no taste, popadoms were stale & old & could not eat at the cost of £7.40. 1 hour for delivery for 10 minutes down the road, had to phone to chase up, heard nothing back shouting in the background & attitude that my delivery was late because 'they were busy'.

First time I order the food was delicious and the curry meat was very less

We always enjoy the good quality of the food

Great food , quick delivery very tasty will be using again

Top notch food at a great price.

Lovely food. Regular customer!!

Chicken and lamb is always so tender, spices are really unique and tasty.

I usually order from the Clay Chef and the food is spot on. This time around I found that the starter a shish kebab was not great. However the rest of the food was fine.

The meal came early, was piping hot when arrived and was lovely.

Normally love claye chefs food. The Prawn on puree was chewy like the prawns wernt feesh and the bread was pure grease. I threw the lot away. Curry was nice, but forgot the rice i ordered so ended up waiting another 20 minutes.

Fuimos allí para mi cumpleaños anoche con mi novio esmerado que éramos los únicos la comida era terrible y esperamos bien más de media hora para la comida y cuando no lo apareció era de mala calidad. Pedí Nan keema que parecía una Nan es. Mi novio esmerado ordenados una paratha rellena en sus palabras me dijo que no sería capaz de hacerlo con una sierra de cadena. Así que te recomiendo que vayas Kingsbury o estante de especias en stanmore. Y nos lo mal estómago; por la mañana.

Waited over an hour and a half for delivery and when it came it was terrible. Won't be ordering again.

Food was thick with oil. Very jar-like looking too. Very reasonable in price but now I understand why. Food is not completely fresh and way more oil then actual sauce and meat

Not only was my food late. There was parts missing what was delivered half was cold and the other half was not edible. Worst curry ive ever had clay chef has gone right down hill from previous experinces.

The food was way too spicy hot for us

I just want the option to add chips on the just eat app!!! Love the food but sort it out. x

Very good food, very good price

I like the food from here although there isn't an option to add chips on the just eat app. That being said they are never any good from here. The other food is fab tho!

Great grub! Proper madras and the tarka dahl was spot on. The stuffed paratha was well tasty too! All good stuff. :)

The meal was provided free due to our previous meal being below standard. Food was very tasty and back to the standard that I'm used to from the clay chef. Very good food!

Great service, would use again.

Great traditional Indian restaurant with v good freshly cooked food and value for money. Went with my girlfriend on a Saturday night and we had starter main course and dessert. V friendly service and great atmosphere created by the staff. Its a family run traditional indian restaurant. Nice food big portions good service and value for money. We heard Sunday buffet is amazing with free salad bar only £ 7.95 per person eat as much as you like. Can't wait to try that.

I've been coming here over 15 years and my family has always enjoyed the food but my last order had one dish which was burnt and the meat in the other dish tasted very strange, so much so we couldn't eat it. Not sure what happened tonight but its left us very disappointed. We've called to complain and been promised a free meal, I'll write another review when that happens, fingers crossed its a much more positive and edible experience next time.

I highly recommend this restaurant, my family and myself have been going there for 20 years and it's def one of the best indian takeaways i've ever had. Even though it was a busy bank holiday they turned up on time and the food was hot. And every dish we received the quality of the meat and sauces was amazing. Was very pleased as usual.

Food cold order wrong quality fair

Ordered for ASAP and it took 1.5 hours to arrive...

We haven't been to the Claye Chef for a while but visited on Monday evening expecting the restaurant to be empty - it was fairly full which was great!The décor is still exactly as it was when we last went but the food was even better than we'd remembered it - and the waiter was extremely friendly and efficient. We definitely won't leave it so long to return next time.

Food tasted great. Arrived earlier than expected. Driver very polite and friendly defo use again

Went with friends, great food and good service. Very good customer service to would definite recommend to a family member or friend.

The biryani was missing something - dry? and the meat had fallen out of the keema naan

Food fine service good delivered on time

First time Ive ordered from here and I'm pleasantly surprised. The tandoori Rizala was lovely (very mild though) the keema rice was full of flavour, peshwari naan - perfect and the paneer pakora very pleasant. Oh how I wish somewhere around here would do chicken pakora though!! It arrived in 25 minutes (Thursday night) and the driver was smiley, polite and courteous. Overall I can't wait to order again and try something else on the menu. It was really reasonable and I'm glad I ordered!!

This is a small and cosy curry house just opposite the Waitrose in Harrow Weald (where you can park). The staff were very helpful and very friendly. The food was delicious, arrived nice and hot. We didn't have to wait long. The portions were very generous. They done an 'all you can eat' night on Sundays for £7.95 per person. I recommend the bombay aloo and the chilli paneer. We ordered Kingfisher and Cobra lagers, which were served promptly and cold. Came out of restaurant very full and will be back again soon.

I booked a table for their Sunday lunchtime buffet. 2 of my guests turned up 10 minutes early but were not offered a drink until I arrived. We were the only people in the restaurant for the first 30 minutes.The restaurant was cold as the heating had only just been turned on, even though we had booked, and the ambient temperature was never comfortable whilst we were present.After about 25 minutes no food had appeared so we asked the waitor what was happening. He told that as some of it was tandoori it was freshley cooked but it was nearly ready. Shame they could not have started sooner so it was ready for our arrival, or told us sooner.The food arrived after 30 minutes - it was plentiful, varied and of good quality. However, we had just finished eating when he naan bread appeared. Terrible timing, and again whay were we not told it was on it's way?The decor is tired and needs a refresh, and they need to look after their customers much better than they did us. There are better options than this.

Lovely tasty food delivered on time and hot. The best for miles!!!

Really good food. Took just over an hour to deliver which was well worth the wait!

my all time favourite indian takeaway, very generous portions and tasty food.

Brilliant as usual! Chicken korma is s good!

To be honest the food wasnt amazing, although we live just half a mile from this place the food arrived cold! Which is a shame as when you order a take away you shouldnt have to then re heat it disappointed.

My favourite place to order an Indian from! Their food is soo nice and they take no time to bash it up for you! Price is reasonable! They've only ever messed up my order once and even then they gave me some stuff for free! Cannot recommend them more!

Tasty and hot and delivered on time. Delicious food and big portions as well

Very nice enjoyed this a lot, will use agine

Can't understand some recent reviews but we usually have it as a take away- and when we've been it has been good. Occasionally variable food but generally of the highest quality and if there is a problem it is always rectified on the next order. And the take away menu is cheaper too. And you don't need a taste card for discount: just don't go at the very busy times as "discount" is standard.

Wow most terrible food ever in harrow.. Every dish looked same and half filled with salad. Spend your good earned money elsewhere. Manager and staff utterly rude.
