I usually try and stick to restaurants that I know I will enjoy. My wife always gives me a hard time as she claims I’m not as adventurous as I used to be. In hopes of proving her wrong, I recently suggested that we try out a new place. My friends at work kept telling me about a place in nearby San Mateo called Clay Oven Cuisine of India. They informed me it was a quiet place to take the wife to experience new food and a great glass of wine. At their suggestion, we headed over to Clay Oven, and I was extremely pleased with my experience.
Instead of ordering something safe, like the Kebabs, I really wanted to impress by ordering the Keema Samosas for an appetizer. The lamb inside the pastries was delicious and quickly became one of my favorite starters. For the main course, I opted for the Bengali Salmon, which is salmon in a mustard and coconut curry. My wife wont let me live down how much I had turned away curry before, only to find that my taste buds erupted upon eating this meal.
After chatting it up with the friendly wait staff, I came to find out that Clay Oven offers a special for Thanksgiving Day. They will prepare exotic turkeys and cook them in their clay oven. This process apparently brings all the juices to the meat and also makes the turkey have less fat. I look forward to suggesting this to my family once the holidays get closer. Plus, with as much as I have gone back to the Clay Oven in recent weeks, I know that if their turkey is anything like the rest of their menu, it’ll be quite the delicious surprise for my entire family.
For anyone who has never tried an Indian restaurant, I suggest you step out of your comfort zone and into Clay Over Cuisine of India. If you’re anything like me, you wont believe what you’ve been missing.
