Klay Oven

Designed to create a warm-inviting dining place for lunch or dinner

  • Klay Oven cooks up a winner
  • 20/20 rating by WBBM AM Radio
  • Rated Excellent by Zaggat

This elegant-informal environment was designed to create a warm and inviting dining place which offers the ideal getaway for business lunch or dining. The cuisine introduced by Klay Oven gives Chicago a new world of finest Indian cooking. At Klay Oven, we emphasize quality, freshly cooked food prepared to order, using healthy, low fat methods of virtually greaseless cooking in the centuries of old Clay Oven (Tandoor) and the Indian Wok (karhai). Freshest ingredients are used to create harmony of subtle flavors, tastes and colors. There is something so very satisfying about Indian cookery, more so when it is freshly cooked. Try to dine here with a group of friends or family so that you can share a wider selection of the delicious appetizers, rice dishes, breads and fabulous entrees and desserts. We hope you will enjoy the ambience, the food and the service of our establishment.

Editorial Review for Klay Oven – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Traditional Indian music plays softly in the tasteful surroundings, with Indian prints, textiles and elegant draping over frosted windows adding luxurious touches. Gracious servers roll draped carts, portioning dishes at white-clothed tables. The menu is extensive, with appetizers, tandoori dishes and vegetarian fare. Favorites include fried sesame seed-crusted prawns, moist skewers of spiced chicken, lamb vindaloo and cumin-infused mahi mahi. Of several breads offered, naan and roti are tops, served warm and browned.

Just went to Klay Oven with a group of seven from the office. Did not have that high of expectations but I was wowed. The service was great. The waiter recommended sharing dishes among the table. Asked for our preferences and brought the right number of appetizers, main courses and bread. Everything was delicious and the bill was reasonable. We felt very comfortable in the environment as well. I particularly loved the vegetable Somosas (spelling may be wrong on that). I will go again.

Pros: Very good food, good service

Cons: none I could see
