Clay Oven
About
Clay Oven is a contemporary, casual-upscale Indian restaurant in Lexington serving northern and regional Indian dishes with a modern twist. The menu mixes traditional Kapoor family recipes with newer fusion dishes inspired by India’s wide culinary landscape, served in an artsy, family-friendly dining room. Guests come for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, and online reviewers have praised dishes such as malai kofta, avocado mango salad and rasmalai.
The Kapoor family has been part of New England’s Indian restaurant scene for decades. Vinod and Shikha Kapoor opened Kebab-N-Kurry in Back Bay in 1980, then the upscale Bombay Club in 1991, followed by restaurants in Faneuil Hall, Natick and Needham. Their son Sorabh and his wife Anuradha, who now carry on the family business, opened Clay Oven in 2019. The full bar pours an extensive list of single malt and blended scotches alongside cocktails.
