3.0 of 5 stars. Good food, a bit over priced. Service wasn't all that good. Owner/manager, pay attention - you'll lose it if you don't get the Customer service down.

3.0 of 5 stars. 3 1/2 stars for Clay Pit. Service is spotty at times, the food is Americanized - but good and consistent. Of all the DFW area Indian restaurants, this is the one we prefer - hands down

Yelp.com Review - by Monica D.

4.0 of 5 stars. Clay Pit is basically the Pei Wei or P.F. Changs of Indian food. It's been Americanized to match our not-so-sophisticated tastes, but what can I say? I like Clay Pit just as much as the hole-in-wall...

4.0 of 5 stars. Ok, ok, it's "whitewashed". oh well.I love their food! The buffet is awesome. I am a big fan of the veggie korma and the tikka masala. The soups are always good too. Rica and naan are spot on.
