"Clay Pit welcomes the diner with a luxurious and comfortable interior. The service is the standard that should be found at every restaurant in town...Clay Pit raises the bar for all other Indian restaurants in Austin."

Curried mussels are a signature dish for good reason. The appetizer bowl full of plump, fresh-tasting mussels in a garlic red-wine curry sauce was sumptuous...
"Clay Pit squeezes in near the top of Dallas Indian fare"
BY MARK STUERTZ

"The cool bar and expansive space in the old Bertram building have made the Clay Pit a real draw for young downtown diners in quest of authentic Indian food."
"This ain't no strip-mall tendori eat and run operation, Anything but. Set in the renovated Bertram Building, which has housed restaurants like the Red Tomato in the past (who can forget that?) and others, the decor is subtle and classy. But the food just rocks."
"The Clay Pit was the only Austin restaurant to be mentioned in the Bon Appétit magazine's annual restaurant edition."
"Housed in a fine, softly lit historical building with whitewashed stone walls and fashionably exotic décor, Clay Pit has become destination dining for Austinites who have a penchant for taste."
"Vegetarians, this is your place."
