    Garlic Naan
    Kelsey B.

    If you haven't been to The Clay Pit yet, you are missing out! The Garlic Naan is to die for, and the Chicken Biryani is amazing. They offer a lunch buffet with many food options (plus all the naan you can eat!). I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    All I can say is WOW. The food we had this time was incredible. We ordered garlic naan, paneer bhurji, and chicken biryani--ALL amazing. The paneer bhurji, which is a shredded paneer tomato dish, came with cilantro cumin rice. As someone who likes heat, medium spice was the perfect level for me. It was completely empty on a Wednesday night, so our food came out fast and fresh. The inside of the restaurant is clean with plenty of booth seats. When you're done with your meal, you pay at the front desk. I could not be happier with a meal.

    Solid lunch choice

    Great smells as you walk in. Limited parking beside Little Caesar's. Great service by people who care. The garlic naan that comes with the buffet is amazing - light, slightly-charred. Great detail. The buffet is small but packed. The salad has a special mint dressing that is clearly homemade. The yellow basmati rice is kept fresh. But the mains are outstanding. Subtle heat in the tandoori chicken. Real yellow and red curry in the dishes. Perfect for the slightly adventurous, and a great value. Worth a drive across town to try.

    Excited!

    SOLID 5 stars. Very delicious meal. They were very busy for a Wednesday night. Food was hot, flavorful, delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more! Very affordable. Genuinely nice people.

    So I guess I had to start out 2019 with a hidden treasure... Since the other Indian places were closed, we drove a bit further to this little gem of a place. We don't live near Murfreesboro, but we're visiting. Is it crazy to think of moving closer just to be near your favorite food? Probably... but this may be an exception. The place is small, quaint but with a well thought out layout for the buffet. Everything flows well. We were promptly greeted cheerfully and asked which kind of bread we would like. We were not disappointed... it was fresh with crispy outsides and bubbly insides with just a hint of salt combined with garlic. The vegetable pakoras were a crispy ball of crunchy fried vegetables that made your eyes roll towards the back of the head. Saag (spinach) and daal (lentils) don't usually sound tasty but I went back for seconds and thirds. There two kinds of rice could not have been any more fresh! We finished it off with the donut-ball-like dessert that really helped cool off the palate from the other spices that had built up. On top of this it was only $10 a person for all you can eat! This was such a lucky find and I wish I could come back more often.... Wow.. just wow!

    Excellent food at a very reasonable price. They also have the buffet in the evenings, which is very unusual.

    Eh! Decent, but not the best in the Boro. I recommend Tandoor for Indian, and Clay Pit if you lean more Pakistani..

    This place was ok. I'll give it an extra star for the friendly staff. I enjoyed their chips and…read moresalsa, the second batch tasted different though. They have a special on Tuesdays: $1 tacos. They're small but 3 filled me up. The chicken was better than the beef. We ordered a side of rice and beans and they just weren't good. They were burnt and it just had an odd taste to them. Really lacked flavor.

    Party of 4 for dinner ($60) They have an extensive menu (11…read morepages). I really like that each person gets their own bowl of salsa. I like to share but when salsa is good, and this was, I like my own. Everything we had was great--all had the clean plate club. 1. Kids Pollo Feliz 2. Ceviche de camaron (shrimp) 3. Loaded Nachos 4. Quesadilla (Steak); Baja Taco Well pleased with the serving size for the price. This is a decent location with easy access to parking on the North side of Murfreesboro. It appears to work for groups (saw a group of birthday people). If you want to save on your meal cost--drink water not soda , Service was good--not too little and not too much. Very friendly and engaging with us. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is my husband said the men's restroom didn't have soap or paper towels. YIKES!! Never good for a restaurant and certainly not following a global pandemic.
