About Spice Clay Oven
Spice Clay Oven serves Indian food in York, with a menu that runs to 266 dishes covering starters, kebabs, and vegetable plates alongside the pickle trays and salads that round out the table. Poppadoms and a mixed pickle tray are typical starters, with the Vegetable Platter For Two offered for sharing and the Mixed Kebab among the grilled options. Onion salad and mixed pickle sit on the side for those wanting extra condiments. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, so diners arrive and are seated without booking ahead. It opens daily but only in the evenings, making it a dinner-only option rather than a lunch stop. With such a wide-ranging menu, the kitchen extends well beyond these named dishes into a full spread of Indian cooking.
