This is for a to-go order. We got aloo paratha, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, garlic basil naan, and plain basmati rice. We also wanted onion baje but they didn't have any. The two entrees and potato dish were excellent. The naan was just okay. The last time we came here (pre-covid) the interior was beautiful and somewhat of an elegant setting. We were shocked when we walked in last night. It looks like it's going out of business. Dirty tabletops, no nice tablecloths or centerpieces like before. And the front door - jeez guys - get some windex. It is sooooo filthy it almost stopped us from going in. There's a lot of great Indian restaurants around and maybe covid hit this one extra hard. The food, as I said, was really good but the interior really gave me pause. . read more

Ordered via DoorDash. Paneer tikka masala and paneer pakora were tasteless and had almost no salt, so I had to add almost full salt into the meal. Additionally, there was no chutney of any sort with the pakora order. read more

My first time trying Indian food and I have to admit it was pretty good. We went a second time and my husband was not impressed because the cloth napkins smelt like old oil/grease. Were the cloth napkins even washed after its last use? read more

This place is sooooo good and the food is reasonably priced. I wish more people would come to the restaurant because the workers here are lovely. Parking is limited with a small lot, but free! read more

Non Indians must be keeping this place open since they don't know what it should really taste like but this is not authentic tasting Indian food... whoever is cooking makes or breaks it and it's definitely the latter in this case. Worst aloo paranthe we've ever had + have never seen mehtha flour being used to make them until today, the consistency and flavor was strange. read more

Walked in and was seated right away! I ordered the lamb vindaloo and the garlic chili naan! Both orders came out perfect and was the best tasting Indian food in Los Angeles! They have a lot of different kinds of naan. The garlic chili naan tasted very good! The boss is very nice and you can also have parties here! So if you want a lot of Indian food, this is the place! I recommend India's Clay Pit read more

Decent Indian food, one of the best round the area, in k town. I would recommend this place than the othere in the area

So confused on what's happening here, shouldn't be this hard to order! Food is good (not amazing but good), but both times we ordered online they never saw order and when we went to pick up they told us to use the Clover site specifically, then call to make sure they got it (....ok but sure). Fast forward, Clover is no longer working, so we tried calling and no one answered. Decided to just go in person and place is completely empty, no staff onsite. Waited and shouted hello until finally found someone in the kitchen who said person who takes orders is not in and who knows when they'll be back. They told us it's not possible to place an order, despite being peak lunch time on a Friday. I give up! We'll find a new place. read more

Food was good but restaurant is really lonely... the staff was nice.... Ambiance was really nice and quiet

We order from here about once a month. I like the chicken vindaloo (extra spicy)and my wife&kid always enjoy the yellow curry. We get basmati rice of course, and cheese naan & plain naan for dipping. As a side note, their chicken is always all white meat. Not my favorite really as I prefer dark meat chicken but it's fine and worth noting. Also, be sure to check your order because once in a while there may be a missing item. We had to go back and get our missing naan we'd ordered and they didn't seem to care at all. Hmmm No apology. Oh well, mistakes happen I suppose. Check your order. If there was a place closer we'd try it. read more

I'd been coming here for 10 years. It's gone downhill badly. My go to order was the combo dinner for two. Went from $45 base price in 2023 to $60 (so if you order delivery, with tax fees and tip you're paying about $85-90). Two stars instead of one because the food is decent. Just not a good value. Imagine getting a "combo dinner for two" as one person and still being hungry after. Other reviews are correct that you only get about 4 cubes of meat per entree. read more

I've been eating here for years and it's been steadily going down hill. Ordered from Postmates saag paneer aloo gobi, cheese naan and veggie samosa. First, the samosas. Once delicious pyramids of crispy glory are now flat tiny triangles. I always ask for no tamarind but extra mint chutney, and they used to have an option for buying a bigger container of it...and I always would (because nothing in life is free). But horror of horrors they neglected to give me ANY CHUTNEY. Even with several friendly order notes because it's my favorite thing on the planet and it's gotten left off of several of my orders. The aloo gobi was a hot mess. Literally. Look at all this juice. Confused as it usually is a delicious dry mess of spices. Sag was fine but honestly how can you mess that up? The biggest offense?! Friggin CHEDDAR CHEESE IN THE NAAN?! I cannot. Question: is chutney no longer made or given out? Is a white person running the kitchen? Do you hate me? read more

Chicken Tikka Masala has minimal chicken (3-4 pieces TOTAL) and it's incredibly dry to the point that it doesn't absorb any of the masala. Can tell the masala is over salted as well. Really really lacking compared to what you can get elsewhere. The naan was pretty good. Not much to say other than I got swindled by a BOGO offer on DoorDash and it now makes sense. read more

Ok so the owner & and the servers are really friendly and food is decent BUT the problem is in their kitchen area and staff working there !! Constantly Cursing & Shouting at each other which makes the environment there extremely TOXIC !!! Trust me, I'm not exaggerating, either the kitchen staff are always in tremendous pressure or it's just "normal for them to behave like this! Can't imagine bringing family specially kids here unless they take care of this particular situation there ASAP !!! read more

India's Clay Pit is such a solid spot in East Hollywood. The food is ALWAYS flavorful and cooked just right. We got the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan and both were really tasty and fresh. The staff was friendly and attentive and the whole place has a warm, inviting vibe. Perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a low-key date night. Definitely one of my go-to Indian spots in the area. read more

White people spice levels, medium tasted like nothing. The tikka masala sauce was bland, and the chicken in it was tough and big pieces. Overall, good and filling food but not amazing. The price is NOT worth it without B1G1 deal they offer on doordash. read more

India’s Clay Pit - CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA MILD - Indian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Unfortunately while the restaurant is nice, the owner is not someone I would want to support. Very good food. We had the salmon tikka masala which was a generous portion and very tasty. The mushroom bhaji was also quite good. The ambiance was nice although we were the only one's dining in. There were about 3 take out orders in the hour we were there. The reason for two stars is the owner. We had checked in on Yelp which gave us a 10% off coupon. It clearly stated valid for dine in or take out from 11 am to 9:30PM. When we presented it the waiteress looked worried and went to the owner who was in the corner watching TV. He made the waitress come over to our table and tell us they would not honor the coupon. No reason was given. When I insisted and asked to speak with him, he refused to come over to the table to explain why the coupon, which was clearly valid, would not be accepted. He eventually did accept the coupon but never came over to explain why he tried to avoid it. The total bill was around $45 so we are talking about $4. Pretty terrible customer service. read more

I thought the samosas were very good. I was surprised by how mild the chicken tikka masala was since I ordered it with medium heat. I know it's more of a western dish and creamy, but this had too much cream that took away from the taste. But I would order again, just say less cream. read more

This place is literally soooo good and I've been coming here for years to the point that the staff began to recognize my voice and face LOLOL we're besties now, hehe ;3c Everyone is so sweet!! The place is always clean and smells so good even as I'm walking up to the restaurant. The chicken makhani is my FAV and I never ever ever get SICK of it!!! I should really make it a point to dine in one of the days since I always get take out after work heehee read more

Food here is REALLY GOOD. I've tried so many Indian restaurants around coz we love Indian food. Chicken tikka masala, paneer tikka masala and mix veggie coconut curry are our go-to dishes. Food is always consistent. Flavors are on point! Today we tried the keema naan and that might be my new favorite naan. We get take out most days and dine in occasionally. Wonderful staff - owner is very warm and welcoming. read more

I really enjoyed my stop at this place. It's unassuming and it's no frills. At first I was really worried it wasn't great cause the prapadum came out a little burnt and service was dry (which is NOT a bad thing at all). But the food is very delicious and the dinner combos as ideal! I got the tandoori chicken and that was great white chicken meat cooked perfectly. And also tried chicken archer for the first time and obsessed now. Warning- medium is HOT. I handle hot chicken and Thai food all the time without ish, but this one got me a little woah. I got used to it and really got into it but my friend who's a lot more sensitive couldn't handle. So future ref, if you can't handle- start mild for sure. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes as well! read more

This is a great place with friendly staff, great tasty food! Delivery is always hot, fresh food. I am a repeat customer because they always out cook the competition for flavor and quality. read more

You know the food isn't half bad but it comes with poor service and attitude. Ordered the food to go 3 hours ahead of time. The small parking lot was jammed at 5:00 on a Sunday even though there was only one couple that had just been seated. I walked up to the counter and was ignored by 3 different people for several minutes while they argued whether the pan of tandoori chicken should be covered with saran wrap or aluminum foil. Finally one of the 3 acknowledged me and I stated I was there to pick up my order. I was informed it wasn't ready to which I responded I'm double parked and blocking several cars. His response was "Oh oh". I gave him a death stare and he told me the order would be ready shortly. I went outside and was able to find a parking spot. When I returned the order was ready in about 5 more minutes. Just an aggravating experience to the point I may not want to try again. One more thing: they only have a "B" rating from the health department which indicates a lack of cleanliness...something that carried over to their actual appearance read more

The best in the area. I first ordered from India's Clay Pit 5 years ago on a whim. After ordering around to different restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is the best. If you like your Indian food spicy (I do) this place puts on that deep heat that makes Indian spice so good. Regulars on my order list include: Tikka Masala (I like lamb, but go with chicken too), Korma, biriyani, naan/garlic Naan. Can't go wrong with them. read more

I'm on the hunt for the best Indian restaurant in LA and unfortunately this wasn't it. Let's start with the positive. The chicken Tikka Masala was REALLY good. the saving grace for the meal I ordered. The cheese Naan was good as well - not dry and had a good amount of cheese. The vegetable samosas were fine. However I don't expect Indian restaurants to mess these items up. They're super popular. My issue was the lamb seekh kebab. It looked exactly how it tasted (see picture...insert poop emoji). It was dry and did not taste good AT ALL..the only reason I took off two stars was because of this lamb. And for $14, I expect more. I would order the chicken Tikka from this restaurant again but not the lamb, definitely NOT the lamb. read more

The restaurant does not fill delivery orders properly. I never received the mango lassi that I ordered and was charged for. I requested medium spicy on the chicken dish and received mild. I ordered brown rice and received white rice. When I tried to call the restaurant I received a message that "the mailbox was full". read more

VERY disappointing mixed tandoori grill! 1 sad piece of chicken, 1 shrimp, 1 kabob and 1 small chunk of lamb. And a couple strings of grilled onions. 20 bucks for this was definitely shocking, but the food isn't even seasoned. There's no flavor! I'm pretty surprised by the good reviews here. Would've given 1 star, but the chicken tikka masala was edible, rice and naan bread were edible. Everything else was average, but the mixed tandoori grill was a huge let down. This was our first time eating here, and will probably be our last. Will just have to make the drive back to Inglewood for Al Watan, still the best Indian food I've found in L.A. read more

This place has been good for a while. Now, it's gotten really bad. Front guy needs to brush up on his customer service skills, either on the phone or in person. To make matters worse, my son found a hair in his tika masala dish. Simply disgusting! I would NOT recommend this place. In fact, stay away from it, as cleanliness is what they lack the most. read more

India’s Clay Pit - Indian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been going there for years. Was one of the only places (back from '10-'20) that would deliver to Montecito Heights/Highland Park area, back when you only had Dominos as a delivery option. Now there are other Indian options close by, but we still visit on occasion. read more

Not impressed. Ordered delivery through the Grubhub app where their restaurant was rated very highly. To start with, they completely forgot my mango lassi (which is always my favorite part of having Indian food). I also upgraded one of the entrees to a dinner option that was supposed to come with salad, rice, plain naan and dessert. I asked for them to substitute garlic naan for the plain naan, and they did not. I also ordered a separate order of garlic naan and STILL received regular naan. All of the curries taste exactly the same. Ordered the paneer tikka, aloo gobi, and tandoori mixed grill. Seems like they just dumped paneer and aloo gobi into the same sauce and served them as two different dishes. They also offer a coupon for a free mango chicken kuffta if you spend $50, but it tastes the same as the 2 entrees I paid for-- gross. The mixed grill meat tastes old. Shrimp and fish were dry and overcooked. The dessert that came with the upgraded dinner option is literally one tablespoon. This Indian food did not hit the spot and I would recommend ordering from elsewhere. read more

My boyfriend and I came in here on a whim the other night and it was SO GOOD! The vegetable masala was Full of a variety veggies (a lot of other places use potato's and carrots as fillers). It was super flavorful and complex, Top 2 masalas I've ever had. We ate it with the spicy pepper naan and it was honestly the perfect combination, we were so happy. The family who I believe own the place took our order and they were very nice and took good care of us. I'm so happy I found a local Indian place, and I can't wait to come back to try more vegetarian things off the menu. (My only note would be we were given a styrofoam Togo container) But other than that this place was perfect read more

This place was my favorite restaurant in LA for the longest time. Unfortunately, they have become very inconsistent in terms of quality and it's just been a waste of money at this point. Not sure what changed, if they have new cooks or a new owner, but it's very disappointing. read more
