REVIEWS
Best Indian food I have found in Austin! The dishes are so flavorful with good variety. The restaurant has a nice vibe on the inside and you simply have to get the Naan when you come. Even if you don't think you like Indian food, you have to come try Clay Pit!
Absolutely incredible food and an overall fantastic experience! Everything on the menu was delicious, but if I had to pick favorites, the goat curry and the cauliflower appetizer were outstanding. Highly recommend!
I haven't had Indian food this good in a VERY long time! Literally everything we had was delicious, and almost everything was eaten. Our server also had such a great personality, which was nice to experience. I am definitely coming back as soon as I can, as I live an hour away. 10/10. Couldn't recommend Clay Pit enough.
