Having tried a few other indian food places; some buffet, some regular dining, some ""fast food""-ish, I ALWAYS come back to Clay Pit. While a bit more expensive than other places, the taste is truly worth it. SO much that I've never gone there for buffet, I've always gone for traditional dining. It's a great date spot, IF you can find someone open enough to try the tastes of India.\r

All of that said, try some Garlic & Basil Naan with a cup of the Curried Mussel Sauce to start with. The traditional Chicken Tikka Masala is flavorful and available in a few ""hotness"" levels; try ""Desi-hot"" if you truly like spice. The same ""desi"" applies for the Saag Paneer or any other dish for that matter. Just kinda something not most people know. \r

Now, the place fills up very quickly and reservations ARE recommended on the typical busy nights. You can order apps and have a drink or two at the bar while you wait. If you do, it'll probably either be Dreads or Jannah; ask for the special infused vodka Dreads makes. Awesome.\r

Definitely the best and most flavorful indian food around.
Pros: Very unique taste, almost unforgetable once you have it.
Cons: Parking is limited to small side lot and on the street.
