Clay Pit Contemporary Indian Cuisine

Indian restaurant · Arts District

"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 Friday night tikka masala and a chakra martini made with coconut water. The flavors here aren’t as pronounced as what you'll find at other Indian restaurants on this guide, but you can count on soft and tender meats, warm and fluffy rice, and a dark, cavern-like dining room that manages to stay very cool even during Austin’s warmer months." - nicolai mccrary
