Indian: Klay Oven Restaurant
This elegent, yet informal environment was designed to create a warm and inviting dining place which offers the ideal getaway for business lunch or relaxed dining experience.
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.

Testimonials
"Many people don't try indian because they think it's too hot. Klay Oven, however, knows how to make Indian food really interesting with the use of spices without heat (unless you want it hot!)."
