Namaste,

At the heart of Indian cuisine is the tandoor—an ancient clay oven known for its unique ability to deliver intense, wrap-around heat. This traditional cooking method, dating back centuries, uses dry chopped timber as fuel and can reach temperatures up to 800°F. Built from natural clay and plastered with mud, a tandoor can be prepared for use within a few days and is often referred to as a sanjha chulha, or "common oven," in many parts of India.

The Clay Oven in New Jersey brings this time-honored tradition to life. Founded in 1999 by Jitu Mehta, a seasoned restaurateur with nearly 30 years of experience rooted in the vibrant culinary scene of Bombay (Mumbai), this restaurant is a true labor of love.

Jitu Mehta has personally designed the menu, infusing each dish with authentic flavors and a commitment to quality. He credits much of the restaurant’s success to his dedicated team—whom he proudly calls his associates—not just staff.

At The Clay Oven, you’ll experience the rich traditions of Indian cooking in every bite, thanks to a passionate owner and a timeless culinary method.)

Sincerely,
Jitu Mehta
