1 Review of Klay Oven in Chicago ...Write yours here! standard fare By linda B. The food here was fine, but was a little less tasty and a little more expensive than some of the others (like India House for example). I've only been once and haven't had the urge to go back. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice though. First Review! Posted 04/12/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The food was amazing but the portion quantity relatively was on the lower side. Otherwise the food was delicious, authentic North Indian flavor. Best value for money. Pros: Taste Cons: Portions quantity was less Posted 08/19/08 at 8:11am Awesome Buffet Great lunch buffet 10.95. good selection of healthy and the creamy rich dishes. also serve salad at the buffet. Great experience! TRY THE DESSERTS both are great! Trust me give them both a try!!! Pros: the dessert, good selection at the buffet Posted 06/13/08 at 12:42pm Great food and service, even with large group 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 Posted 03/14/08 at 3:26pm Average Indian food; more expensive than indicated on Citysearch. I went to KO for the lunch buffet. Food was decent; about average for an Indian buffet. Two major drawbacks were: Price - lunch buffet was decidedly NOT the "for less than $10." mentioned on this site. Buffet was $10.95; add tax and the I-feel-obligated $1 tip, and you get $13 for the lunch. Food selection - and this is largely a personal preference issue. Their curried vegetables looked and tasted like they had just taken a bag of frozen veggies and mixed in some curry sauce. They also did not have any paneer dishes; saag paneer is one item I always look for on Indian buffets and it was nowhere to be found. I asked the waiter if they have saag paneer on different days (thinking they might switch some of the dishes around), but he said that they do not put that on the buffet. On the plus side, the restaurant was not at all crowded at the height of lunch rush on a Wednesday. Pros: not crowded at lunch time; curried chicken was good Cons: overpriced; smallish food selection for lunch buffet Posted 11/07/07 at 10:48am Avoid Klay Oven Four of us went to Klay Oven for dinner last week and were not impressed. The service was very slow even though the place was half empty. The food was edible but disappointing. The overall problem with all our food orders was that all the dishes tasted pre-cooked and warmed up. Nothing tasted like it had been cooked to order. Nothing was served hot - just warm. To me, an indication of a 1st class Indian restaurant are fresh tasting spices and sauces. Klay Oven's tasted like from a can. Not going back. Pros: It's close to the city center Cons: the food and the service Posted 09/14/07 at 12:26pm
