We live in South Texas where you can't find Indian food, at least not these days, so it was a super special treat for us as we were visiting Austin. Indian food is one of our faves, so we felt very satisfied and lucky! We highly recommend this restaurant. We had the chicken lollipops, the garlic naan, the butter chicken, and the tikka lamb.

The restaurant was clean, had a nice atmosphere, and the service was pleasant. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

First, they mixed up the spice levels on our dishes - not a huge deal, but confusing when you're expecting a certain heat level. The bigger problem was the butter chicken. There was barely any chicken in the dish, and the few pieces that were there were extremely dry. Both curries had very watery sauce consistency, which made them feel more like soup than proper curry. Garlic naan was also whatever

The restaurant is always clean, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the Indian music playing in the background creates a calm, authentic dining experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always happy to accommodate your preferences. I've enjoyed everything from the saag paneer, salmon, and a variety of curries to the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. Every dish has been rich, flavorful, and consistently satisfying. The butter chicken is especially smooth and comforting, while the chicken tikka masala is packed with bold, well-balanced flavor. If you're someone who loves spicy food, they don't hold back! I usually order spice level 5, and trust me--it brings the heat, so order accordingly! I need to come back and take updated photos because it's been a while, but if I still lived on the south side, this would absolutely still be one of my regular restaurants. Highly recommended!

The Chakra Martini was refreshing and had a perfect kick of heat. I love spicy food, but not spicy drinks. However, this was just enough heat with a delicious refreshing flavor, it's now one of my new favorite drinks. We started our food experience with the Dahi Puri, which were delightful, popping with flavor. Another new favorite. The main course we shared was the Khuroos-E-Tursh and it instantly became my new go-to dish when I go for Indian food. The magic in that was two-fold: chicken medallions stuffed with a creamy spinach, mushroom, and onion mix, and the pistachio-creamy korma sauce. Absolutely magnificent. Not only was the food a 10, the service was impeccable as well. I will call out that we sat at the bar instead of a table, but we were immediately greeted by the bartenders, who were conversational, charismatic, charming, and all-around helpful. I highly recommend Clay Pit and can't wait to go back for more.

The folks are friendly, the service as usual was exceptional, and food...so yummy. We started with the garlic naan as an app plus an espresso martini and a Mumbai Mule, we loved both. For dinner I had the butter chicken and my partner had the Biryani, plus an order of the cheesy garlic naan. We each loved ours, and took home enough food for two more meals. Took the chocolate cake to go, which also turned out to be delicious. Thumbs up all the way around. By the way, I used to work with a woman who moved here from India about 20 years ago. I asked her once what her favorite local Indian food was, and she said some Indians don't think it's traditional enough but my favorite is Clay Pit.

We've heard great things about Sangam Chettinad from a friend and recently saw them on Infatuation…read moreAustin's Top 25 Restaurants, so we finally went to see what all the hype was about and WOW! We've had really good food at other Indian restaurants before, but sometimes the service, atmosphere, or cleanliness can be a little hit or miss. Sangam seriously stood out because they delivered on ALL of it. They were BUSY, like a shit ton of people waiting outside busy , but somehow that didn't affect the quality of the food, speed of service, or cleanliness of the restaurant. Our food came out quickly, everything was fresh, and the whole place still felt incredibly well run. Our waitress Mandipa was AMAZING. She was attentive, patient, never made us feel rushed while ordering, and helped guide us through the menu since so many of the dishes were new to us. And the FOOD... the flavors and cook on everything were what really separated this place from others we've tried. The mutton was incredibly well seasoned, tender, and easily one of our favorite dishes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and our shrimp dish actually had a solid amount of shrimp, all plump and cooked just right. The garlic naan was LOADED with garlic in the best way and stayed soft and fluffy throughout the entire meal, which is surprisingly rare, plus most places never put enough garlic. We ordered everything medium spice and were honestly impressed that the spice level actually matched what we expected. It had the perfect amount of heat to make you feel it, but not so much that it covered up the flavor. We LOVE spice, so it was refreshing to have "medium" actually bring some heat while still letting all those spices and ingredients shine. If you're sensitive to spicy just note, it might be a little hot for you, depending on what you order. The daily special benne dosa was another standout, crispy, buttery, and the sauces served with it were OUTSTANDING. Even dessert surprised us. The Carrot Halwa topped with ice cream was phenomenal and the perfect way to finish. Every dish had such developed, layered flavor like it had been cooking forever soaking up all those spices and fresh ingredients. This has officially been added to our favorite restaurants in Austin, and we can absolutely see why Infatuation Austin rated it one of the Top 25 restaurants. Hands down the best Indian restaurant we've been to to date. We just moved to Leander, so we're VERY excited they're opening a location closer to us. Highly recommend!
