Quick info
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.

“Food taste is average Service was very bad Bad welcoming service not even laugh The server didn’t even given time to think about menu to order I don’t know why the water bottle is voided.. One more thing I was hesitated was, Server mentioned it’s mandatory to order 2 curries for 4 servings of rice. Who are you to mention that ? What the hell is this? It’s customers choice not yours”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split. The multani lamb draws the most specific praise, called incredibly flavourful, and others describe fresh, freshly cooked dishes with generous portions and a server whose recommended dishes landed well. Service is described as lovely and quick. One reviewer, however, found the food average and the welcome poor, and objected to a server saying two curries were mandatory for four servings of rice.
