"For years, Clay Pit was one of the best value lunch buffets Downtown. The all-you-can-eat days may be gone, but it’s still a reliable spot for a lunchtime vindaloo bowl—served with rice and a salad—or some weeknight tikka masala and a chakra martini made with coconut water. The flavors here aren’t as punchy as what you'll find at other Indian restaurants in town, but count on soft and tender meats, warm and fluffy rice, and a massive dining room that manages to stay very cool even during Austin’s warmer months." - Nicolai McCrary
