Very accommodating towards certain diets!! I recommended Clay Handi to all my friends and they love it! So glad that we have a little meet up restaurant now :-)!! read more

The food tasted excellent paired with friendly service and polite staff led me to rate this place 5 stars. It's really captures the traditional Pakistani environment. read more

We did not like their food at all. Cooking is art, they just throw 5 or 6 small pieces of chicken inside a pot and add veggies and charge you 20 dollars for that crap! Really? Their kitchen and peoole who work there look so nasty! Service is very very slow read more

Definitely recommended. Best Asian food so far in US. We drove 20 miles in search of Asian food and found this amazing place.

Th is place is absolutely incredible! The service was amazing and the waitress was very attentive to our needs. The chicken kebob are to die for. The lamb biryani was excellent and so was the butter chicken. They've done an amazing job with this place and I will definitely be back! read more

I went to this place on a Saturday night with friends and family, we ordered a lot of food. We found most of the food to be low on flavor - ordinary tasting but very expensive for the small quantity they served, the worst though was the Biryani here. We ordered both veg biryani and goat biryani, both were the worst I ever had. The veg biryani had huge chunks of half cooked potato which wasn't edible. The flavor was as bland as a biryani could get. There was a lot of colored rice with no masala or flavor. The goat biryani was a bigger disaster. The rice was undercooked and it had almost no spice or salt. If you are okay with a watery(literary water with no flavor) biryani, this place is for you. We called the server and complained, he said he'll take it back and bring us a complimentary dessert. He took the biryani back into the kitchen and came back saying this is how Pakistani biryani is made, which is not true at all. I have eaten Pakistani biryani a number of times and it is no where close to this, it is really rich in flavor aroma and taste. Forget the complimentary dessert, he actually said there isn't anything he could do and he wouldn't be able to take that off of the bill. So we just said that was fine and he kept insisting on bringing it back to the table, after repeatedly saying ' we can't do anything with it' we had to ask him to trash it as we didn't think it was any better than garbage. read more

See all

I don't write reviews. I had to make an exception. The owner himself gave us honest suggestions that did not disappoint. He was the soul of hospitality. The spread was eclectic well curated. I was completely satisfied and remained so for hours after we left. Great atmosphere as well. The attention to detail was felt everywhere one looked. Even if you don't particularly like foreign cuisine, there is sure to be something you will find tasteful. All this with a fair price point. Do yourself a favor and give it a go. read more

Horrible service. We waited for 2 hours after placing order with no communication from them. When we enquired after 2 hours, they say that koftas are not available anymore. Basic courtesy says that they should have informed that the food we ordered is not available. Extremely pathetic service and even worser was their unapologetic behavior towards us read more

This worst restaurant I had seen. The management here is not capable of setting a restaurant. They don't care about customers. They kept waiting us for more than 2 hours and finally said not serving and only togo and but later, they said we are closed. read more

I really wish I could give less than a star. I have ordered a delivery for Chicken Biryani. The taste was horrible. I feel like I am just like eating plain Basmathi rice with chicken Pieces. I will never get food from this place. read more

Excellent dinner! The butter chicken and somosas were particularly outstanding. We'll definitely be going back!

Excellent restaurant for Indian and Pakistani food. Everything we ordered was perfect. Yummy experience of food cooked in clay pot. Great hospitality and personal touch of owners and staff. read more

110% authentic, 110% out-of-this-world delicious, 110% great customer service. The portions are ample so make sure you are ready to eat! I live on Grand Island and it was 110% worth the trip! The owner took the time to explain how the menu works and made us feel like we were royalty while dining! Looking forward to eating here again and our mouths are watering just thinking about trying some of the lamb dishes. The Naan bread appetizer was to die for and the dips were everything from sweet, savory and spicy--the whole nine yards and then some. Best rice pudding I have every had, too. read more

Worst food in the town if they claim Indian food. There are several things made this restaurant bad in my thought as I visited three times thinking maybe I chose the wrong day for dinner. 1) only one waitress, with a sad face like we bother them. 2) ambiance was depressing, dark, cheap furniture and broken clay pots are not acceptable. 3) no goat biryani either day and she mentioned we just out of Goat meat. I am surprised that all three times they were out of this item. 4) we ordered chicken biryani, malai kofta, goat gravy and samosa chaat. and truly saying except biryani nothing was good in taste. 5) not properly spiced and salt and it surprised me that in name of Indian or Pakistani food they are throwing garbage. we took away the food and re-prepared at home with spices and salt and made those awesome. 6) If people are going for a dinner outing, we are expecting better food compared to our home cooked food but certainly, food was too bad in taste. 7) The taste of the food was not worth the cost. Finally please don't throw unauthentic Indian/Pakistani food to US citizens and mislead them. We have nice food full of the aroma of spices and nice taste, please don't spoil our country's name. Nobody like food without spices and watery samosa chaat. I will never go there for sure.... read more

Food is delicious, Service is quick and fantastic, We tried chicken biryani, Beef kababs, chicken Handi everything comes in clay pots in which they cook and it remains hot and fresh till your last bite. I would like to try other dishes as well. read more

Ate here 2 days ago at the recommendation of a long time Buffalo resident and was thrilled to find a new fabulous food choice in this great city. We were 4 people, ordered 4 of the 1/2 portions and 2 kinds of na'an... was plenty of food. Fish Pakora was fresh in a light crispy batter. Our waiter was patient with our questions and steered us in the right direction. Can't wait to return to Buffalo and Clay Handi to try the skewers... read more

Waaaaay too expensive for the portion size and a huge hassle. The service is absolutely terrible: slow, unorganized and rude, but in a passive-aggressive way. It took us 20 minutes to order, at which time we were told that the menu had suddenly changed, it took another 10 minutes to get our drinks - which were not what we ordered. We were served food without any utensils and when they were finally brought to us, the server placed them on top of the bread basket and walked off. We had to grab napkins off of another empty table. Also, I have to concur with some of the other reviewers that others came in after us and were seated and served before us. Suffice it to say that we will *never* go back there. Don't bother. read more

The most authentic Pakistani food I had in US. It's not expensive at all and the quality and quantity of food is great!! Loved it!

We loved the food that we visited twice in one week. It is very affordable. I felt as if I was in Lahore. Very authentic delicious Pakistani food. Excellent service. Will recommend to anyone for takeout or sit down. It is kid friendly. read more

Had been to Clay handi with my family for dinner on 24th May 2018. We were very very disappointed with the service. Had reached the restaurant with a table reservation at 9.30 PM and reached on time. In spite of this, we had to wait 30 mins to get the table and finally got the table at 10 PM and the order was taken. We had to wait for 2 hours 45 mins and 12.45 PM when we enquired about the food, the staff denied serving food saying they cant serve us our order. Over 20-30 people were made to wait for hours and then told to return back without even serving food. They had some bulk order for take-away and they were never bothered people who had come to have food at their restaurant. for over 2 and half hours there was total chaos in the restaurant because of poor store management. The manager was super rude and told us to leave as he cannot provide us the food we ordered. He was unapologetic at all. The entire staff did not have any clue what was happening. One of the worst experience ever. There were a couple of other families with kids who faced a similar situation. I would never recommend this restaurant because of unacceptably bad service and rude staff. One of the worst restaurant in Buffalo for Indian and Pakistani food. read more

This used to be Zaiqa, but is still owned by the family. They now have a more earthy tone decor, a warmer atmosphere, and no longer have a buffet. Instead they serve dishes in pots that are family size. They have handis and karahis that are delicious. These are a bit similar to curry. I had the lamb karahi which had a soft, tender meat and a lovely karahi sauce with a subtle blend of Indian/Pakastani spices. It was made to the spiciness I wanted. Medium was perfect for me. My friend enjoyed his chicken karahi. They also brought out small portions of several of their sauces. The mango pickle and mango chutney were both yummy. The raita was subtle, but mostly yogurt, not much cucumber. Their specialty sauce, which my old brain has forgotten the name of, was also very good. The meals come in 1/2 and full. Full can feed 4 people. We each had the 1/2 and the leftovers gave me two more meals! We also ordered a 1/2 basmati fragrant rice, which had a generous portion for a good price. Also took a lot home -- still trying to figure out the awesome flavor in it! We also had a lovely garlic naan. All the meat is halal and I believe there are vegetarian options. One of the owners took our orders, explained how it worked, and served us very promptly. He even recognized me though it has been a few years. Definitely a good choice for Indian food that is a little different. Oh yeah, all main dishes are served in clay pots! read more
