Clay Oven has been our family's go-to Indian spot for years. The dal makhani is comfort food and the naan basket never lets you down.

Clay Oven's chicken tikka masala has a slow-cooked tomato sauce that's rich and complex. The garlic naan from the tandoor is soft and charred in the right spots. Poplar Level Road staple.
