Clay Oven

Clay Oven sets its compass to Thailand’s bright, balancing flavours in Mount Roskill, Auckland. Fragrant herbs, coconut cream and wok-kissed noodles shape a table where sweet, sour, salty and spicy find their rhythm with effortless ease.

Open with golden Pho Pai Tod or grilled skewers of Gai Satay under a lush peanut sauce, then drift into steaming bowls of tom yum or the silkier tom kha, lifted by lemongrass, galangal and mushroom. Noodle lovers can follow the thread through comforting broth to the street-food swing of Pad Thai Yummy and Pad See-Eew (Soya). Curries bring warmth rather than bluster: Gaeng Dang and Gaeng Kiew Waan ladle coconut-rich comfort over rice, while crisp Thai salads wear a traditional dressing with confidence. Vegetarians are well met by Gaeng Kiew Waan Towha and the satisfyingly saucy Swimming Rama Jar, with the crunch of Pad Med – Mamuang or the tang of Pad Praw Waan never far away.

There is even a hometown nod in the Fish and Chips Pack for those craving a classic. From Kaow Pad to the chilli-flecked lift of Kaow Pad Krapow, Clay Oven keeps things bright, generous and squarely focused on flavour.

Gather your favourites, bring an appetite, and let the spices do the talking—one fragrant spoonful at a time.
