Food was good, mango lassi was great! BUT there were hairs in my water (maybe 4 small ones, that was gross) at least 5 tables were left dirty THROUGHOUT our ENTIRE visit... disgusting. service was great. Tiny fried tortilla that they gave us for an appetizer YUCK. would not recommend trying. completely housed my meal. hope you all enjoy!

This is it. This is the friendly neighborhood Indian place you've been looking for. Came in with the family after a day at the river. It's a cozy little spot, and we snagged a booth behind the entrance. It's got the kind of vibe that would be perfect for wanting to warm up on a rainy night. We haven't had much luck in our quest for solid Indian food since we moved in. We're fans of the Clay Oven in Vacaville (no connection to this location, we confirmed). We've been to several 4-5 star spots, but nowhere has left us looking forward to returning until tonight. Great food, great service, will be back regularly.

Happy to say I found another really yummy Indian/Nepalese spot! My husband is Nepali so I defer to his opinion for authenticity and this place definitely has it. We came on a week night and were the only table dining in. I wish it weren't so as they deserve more business! We had butter chicken makhani and the chicken tikka masala; upgraded to thali (plates). Everything was delicious- naan, rice (we needed to order more!), vegetable curry, and dal. I took some leftovers home and enjoyed it again the next day. Doubled up on that belly happiness! We'll be back!

However, while the overall experience is superb, any dining venue can have its off days. One customer had a concern regarding cleanliness, suggesting an area for improvement that could elevate the experience even further.

In summary, Clay Oven Indian Cuisine is a must-visit for anyone in the Orangevale area.
