The Clay Oven

You're heading down Morningside Road and you catch that unmistakable smell of spices and charred meat – that's your cue to stop. The Clay Oven does what it says on the tin: tandoori cooking at its best, with a menu that takes North Indian classics seriously without any of the gimmicky nonsense. The room's unpretentious, the kind of place where families and groups of mates come for proper food rather than Instagram moments. Expect well-executed curries, naan that's actually worth your time, and portions that don't disappoint. It's become a proper local favourite in this part of town, and rightly so – they've clearly got their act together in the kitchen.
