Not Bad

by damshags at Citysearch

I went to this restaurent on tuesday night with my buddies. My first impression was it is a restaurent like Tabla in manhattan but once i open menu it proved wrong. We ordered some vegitarian and non veggie food and quantities are adiquate for asingle person. Vegitarian tastes good but Non-Veg they may need to improve. Over all clean environment and food is pricey for that quality and quantity. Service is just ordinary.

• Pros: Clean and Neat Environment
• Cons: Poor Service and Pricey items

Horrible food. DIRTY place. BAD SERVICE.

unhygienic, poor service

by braveheartrhyme at Citysearch

We found a hair in our food...To add to that when we mentioned that to the person serving the food..he told us he can assure us it's not his for sure and then when we returned the entree we were left with bill on our table without any replacement of the ordered item...indeed *Professional..Thank God we still have multiple Indian restaurants in dallas area to decide which ones to avoid next time..

• Pros: location, environment
• Cons: unhygeinic, poor service

My first Lunch here, left me lacking..........

by thesushiguy at Citysearch

I have read many favorable/highly rated reviews for the Clay Pit before; however, I think they were primarily for the dinner. I took a friend here for lunch about two weeks ago. They had never tried Indian cuisine before, and I thought it would be a great introduction. Although the lunch was ok, it was just that?.ok. It was not bad; it just was not very good. Many of the dishes lacked the distinct seasoning that make Indian cuisine such a treat.

Again, this was lunch. Their dinner entree?s could be spectacular, or I may have come on an off day. I am going to try the Clay Pit again and will let you know. If you are in Addison and have an insatiable desire for Indian (based on my first encounter), Clay Pit will fit the bill.

• Pros: Convenient location
• Cons: On my first lunch visit, the food was ok.......

A great surprise

by besttime at Citysearch

We ate at the restaurant for lunch on day and they had a buffet. It was killer. The seasoning was nice and not over done, the food on the buffet was fresh and cook just right, not like some where it sits and overcooks. The staff was very pleasent and the place was packed.

• Pros: nice lunch buffet

The restaurant that turned me on to Indian cuisine

by mls1221 at Citysearch

My first visit to Clay Pit was their location in Austin. I was thrilled to see I was living so near their Dallas location.

The chicken tikka masala is my favorite - I wish I could recommend other dishes but this is my favorite and the only one I order.

The restaurant is so pretty, service has been inconsistent on my visits but normally the service is good. The prices are reasonable.

Wholly Unremarkable

by dinobob at Citysearch

Neat Atomsphere and the option to dine outdoors. After that, wholly average. While the chutney's were good with pita chips, everything else was fairly bland. The Saag was ok with a good heat, however the Tikka Masala reminded me of tomato soup with cumin, and the Naan seemed more like toasted tortillas. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine.. best to go elsewhere.

• Pros: Good Value, Nice Atmosphere, Good for Kids
• Cons: Un-Authentic

Wonderful Indian Food

by nancerino at Citysearch

Everytime I go to the Clay Pit, I'm so glad that I did. . .I'm always greeted with a smile, seated promptly, treated wonderful and I love the food. The staff is always very helpful with the menu and wine list. I have tried a variety of items and have always been pleased.

• Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere

Indian restaurant from Austin offers quality Indian cuisine in an elegant, sophisticated space.

In Short
A glass waterfall is among the first sights customers see at this sleek restaurant in Addison, and it sets the stylish and colorful tone of the decor. Waiters bring all entrees in separate bowls or platters, which makes the restaurant a great destination for groups who enjoy sharing. The Indian menu consists of traditional dishes, plus a few newer twists. Grilled Tandoori chicken is marinated the night before in yogurt, garlic, ginger and spices.

I finally have a place to cure my Indian cuisine cravings. Favorite dishes are Khuroos-E-Tursh, Curried Mussels and Vindaloo. Can you tell I eat there quite a bit? Need I say more, tehn? YES - great wine list and try the Ginger Peach Mango Ice Tea.

• Pros: delicious, affordable, friendly, attentive s
