Clay Pit is a nationally acclaimed, high-energy, contemporary Indian restaurant located in the historical "Bertram building" in beautiful downtown Austin. We are a locally owned business proud to fill the niche for great Indian food in a sophisticated, casually elegant setting.
The highly acclaimed menu at Clay Pit showcases traditional Indian dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer and Tandoori favorites, alongside contemporary menu items like our Curried Mussels appetizer featuring fresh mussels simmered in a garlic and red wine curry sauce.
We see our event spaces filled with many beautiful memories of beautiful events. Baby showers, wedding rehearsals, birthday parties, anniversaries, and more!
Great food, interesting atmosphere and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place. Also a good spot to come and sit at the bar for a drink!
Great, authentic Indian food. The week day buffet was an excellent value. First time visiting I was happy to see adequate parking, easy access and was greeted by a nice hostess upon entry...
Pretty sure everyone already knows the food is great here. We come here when family is in town and everyone is always pleased. Drinks are great. It's a very cool building with an interesting history...
Clay Pit has a nice rustic ambience for dates, birthdays and gatherings. The food is great (especially the butter chicken) and it has slow, but good service. The drinks are strong...
We love Clay Pit! Although I have to say the only thing we order is the curried mussels and their infused vodka. We have taken friends and they have in turn taken other friends...gotta be good...
