Well for once I took a break from work and went out for a nice sit down lunch, while in Chicago. This time I ended up at Klay Oven, in our hunt for Indian food. As most Indian restaurants Klay Oven has a lunch buffet. Living in New York, I have been to hundreds of Indian buffets and one problem with them is normally the balance between veg. and non veg. food. It seems a place is dominated by one of the other. This is where Klay Oven differed. They had an excellent selection of food in both areas. They had about 4 dishes each, rice your typical Indian salad of lettuce, onions and tomatoes. They also had couple of desserts, which I never had, since I did fill myself up with the buffet. I found myself addicted to the chicken curry and rice, I did not really try much more, except for a little of the palak (spinach). The food was not spicy at all either, so this is great place to go visit during lunch and not have to worry about burning a colleagues or clients palate.
