Our 9 year old son has been watching a young YouTuber who makes Pakastani food. We decided to try it for ourselves and were not disappointed! The food was delicious, it came out quickly, and the staff was very friendly! Our son had some questions about the different foods and they were more than happy to answer his questions. Great experience! PS He would like to share that the food can be very spicy! :) read more

Have been frequenting Handi for a while since a long time and have never been disappointed until now. My last visit was a complete disaster - may be the effects of Covid but the food quality is awful. WILL NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. read more

This was our first time here. Unfortunately we were overwhelmed and confused by the menu. Generally speaking, it was alright, but just not for us. I chicken muhkni was the best, but even at "mild" spice it was too hot for me. The dishes don't come with rice, so we got that separate along with a garlic naan. The clay pot type atmosphere was cool and unique, but at the same time I disliked it because there was a lot of stuff in my drink (clay perhaps). read more

Fantastic food! We came in with a large group (about 20 people) to celebrate Iftar. The restaurant provided dates, fruit chaat, and rooh afrza (drink) to break the fast. It was a very nice gesture! read more

This was the first time I've eaten here. It didn't disappoint! Everything was spectacular! We ordered Chicken Makhani (their version of butter chicken), Chicken Biryani (rice dish), Chicken Tikka, Onion Kulcha & Garlic Naan. Their portions were huge, so while we ordered the smaller portions of each above, we had enough food for five people. read more

Great Indian food! I come here whenever I want a lot of good food. I bring my friends here frequently. There's a variety of dishes to try and always good service. Highly recommended! read more

I can't wait until I can come in person! I got my weekly Covid Takeout this week and it was amazing. I love Pakistani food and always get Biryani and Tandoori so trying the chicken handi was a great new experience. I ordered the chicken handi which came with rice and a small salad. The Kalwanji naan was soft and a perfect dipping companion for all of the delicious sauce. I also got a veggie samosa. Please keep this place going! It would be a shame to lose it read more

I am giving 2 star only because the mango lassi was good. However, the service and food was awful. I asked for a mild butter chicken but it was super spicy. I told them that I can't eat it because I asked for mild and this was spicy so they told me it was Pakistani food and it's supposed to be spicy and they won't re do it. Btw, the chicken dish was $39.99. read more

This place is unique and delicious. They need a better menu- the explanations of the food aren't much help without prior knowledge of Pakistani cuisine. But, if you just go for it and order assuming the best, you will be rewarded. We ate lamb and two kinds of chicken in clay handies. The portions are huge. Be ready for leftovers. There is no liquor license. Clay handies are the clay pots they cook and serve in. They make the pots there! This restaurant also deserves bonus points for best conversion of an ugly fast food building into a quirky space. read more

Clay Handi - I went at night but this is the view of all the clay handies in the parking lot! - Halal Near Me - Buffalo, New York

We went for break fast but service and food was not up to the mark, we called them first that we are coming for breakfast and take our order but on call they refused and said you are most welcome. Food were not fully cooked, specially the parathas. Tea was cold and after drinking i felt it was not fresh. decoration of the restaurant was good but not 100% clean. read more

A lot of delicious vegetarian food open late AND a has a drive through. I recommend the Chana masala and veggie samosa read more

The food and the service is amazing. They treat you well, and make the biryani I had was great. Thank you Clay!!!

Place is amazing. Food was even really good and tasted fresh. Loved their Lassi. Chicken BiryaniClay DishClay Pots

Ordered take out from here during this covid pandemic and it was free delivery on Uber eats! The food was very good. I got the salad, chicken samosa, mango lassi and beef kebab. The lassi was amazing and they give you a large portion. The samosa was crispy and the salad had a lot of ingredients like chickpeas, green and black olives, cucumber and tomatoes. I've been here once before to dine in and the clay pots they use to cook and serve everything in make it such an authentic experience. The food is always fresh and comes piping hot. Be careful with spice because medium is veryyy hot. Highly recommend this place because food quality is great, it's good for groups, and it's unique. read more

Awesome food. Great atmosphere, awesome staff and really great food. All cooked in authentic clay pots. Really warm and sumptuous food. Deserts are spot on. Food - 10/10 Cost - $$ Quality - delicious and spot on. Really would like to come again. The best is to do a dine-in instead of take out. Great items (Items i Tried) - Chicken tikka (Appetizer) Lamb seekh kabab (Appetizer) Goat Biryani Kulcha/ naan Mutton boneless gravy Awesome place and great taste. Keep it up. read more

Me & My Wife Came to Visit Niagara Fall & Tried this Restaurant. Heard so much about it. It was totally Disappointing, We ordered Palak Paneer. They made Palak Aloo, The Service is Horrendous, Plus it's too Expensive, FOOD TASTE IS OK. please don't order Tandoori FISH. IT SMELLS. I will Definitely not Coming Back. read more

This is probably the first restaurant I've ever been that have all their dishes in clay. Which make the experiment be a cool one. I love try the new places, and although I care the food be good, I want to have something different. Their food was really good . It's really good food , their bihari kabob is totally recommend. like their nan! They are making their own bread, and you should order it for sure. While it is a family business, the staff are really nice and friendly. Their food was amazing. Just be sure you tell them to not make your food too spicy if u r like me and can't handle too much spice :))) They bring few cool starters on the house which is nice. And It is not like everywhere else to just have a bread and butter. one thing that happened in our group they messed up our order a bit. We ordered the lamb kabab and end up getting beef kabab. Although they made mistake but I still going to give them 5 star, because these mistakes happens all the time and beef kabab was good. I reserved the table because I was with a big group of people and they had our table ready. The only thing I wish they had was a music. Their sounds system was not working they said they are going to fix it. Other thing is their dishes is really big but not as big to serve 2 people, maybe like 1.5 people. Like 2 half dishes is perfect for 3 people. Overall I think it was unique,fun and yummy. You can see in the pictures we finished everything because it was tooo delicious. Worth to try :) read more

I've been here twice now, and even in two visits this has become one of my favorite spots for south Asian food in WNY. Despite the fact that this used to be a KFC, walking in is like being transported away from the unpleasance of Delaware Ave to some cozy second dimension where everything is handmade crafts and smells like sweet delicious curry. The menu prices may cause you a heart palpitation or two, but worry not - even the half portions are enormous, and are intended for family style dining. Last time I was here, my brother ordered a half portion of chicken biryani for $10 and was given a bowl the size of a salad spinner. This is definitely not a bad deal. You can also take your $10 elsewhere (to the back page of the menu) and get what is arguably the best value here, the meat or veggie combo plate. Note that none of the individual curries here come with rice or bread, but the combo lets you try two at once and comes with, you guessed it, rice and bread. I've tried the daal maghni, matar paneer, mixed vegetable curry, and aloo gobi, all of which were rich with flavor and vegetable content. Eat here. Bring your friends. read more

The food is pretty good but the service is terrible. I felt like they didn't want me there. We were ignored the entire time in the restaurant. The waitress cut me off when I'd ask questions about the menu. Don't think I'll dine in again if I'm not getting any dining service, isn't that the point of coming to your establishment? read more

Disappointed with their service and food, super messy, had to wait 30 mins for naan for a take out after eating inside. Food was super average, please skip it. read more

Clay Handi is not worth it. charge $280 for literally 6 naan and 2 full byrani. 15% gratuity is literally $40 and tips they took $30

My husband and I passed this place a few times as we left church and wanted to try it eventually. So, we finally ordered chicken biryani, the meat platter, and garlic naan online. The food was fabulous, but we did not get garlic naan or the salad (we got extra rice instead)-it could be it was not sent properly to them. The chicken was so tender, it melted in your mouth. The rice of biryani had so much flavor that you could not even begin to identify the herbs used to season it. Even though we did not get everything we had ordered online, we will definitely order again or even go into the building to get the full experience. read more

We did a dine in despite the pandemic going on, the ambience was good, no-one came to take our order, we had to call them at the reception like after 20 minutes. They did not serve any starters which they normally serve like dry fruits, salad to other customers. They were in a hush hush situation since lots of people wanted to dine in. The cook served the food and it was on point, we got the chicken biryani, Beef Nihari and Naan. The Nihari was super excellent and the biryani was just divine. The Naan was super soft and very good. The chef served us in the clay plates and the owner asked us to replace the plates as they had a shortage of them and later gave up and went away. I do not expect someone to take the plates away when you are to server food. Overall would highly recommend them for food, the food is 5 Star but 2 star for hospitality. read more

Went here with big expectations, after seeing the photographs, however the proverb " all that glitters, is not gold" is the apt description for this place. At first we felt that order taker was friendly and was trying to help us when informing us that it would be better to order everything together, as orders get mixed up if they are not ordered together. What he did instead was give us a pretty unreasonable portion size for everything. Full handi Paneer tikka masala, as explained by him, was only enough for 3-4 people. But in reality it's was as big as a half tray portion for a party of 10. Talking about breads now, please do not order more than 2 roti's for 3 people. They are massive. They are the size of medium pizza. @management - this is how you tell patrons the portion size. when they ask instead of hand gestures which are open ended. One star is for the chutney, it was yum ! read more

The first time I visited this place when it had newly opened I didn't really like it much. Maybe it was wrong choice on my part. The next two times I went I really enjoyed the food, how juice and succulent their chicken was as well as the taste. Their chicken karahi is definitely worth a try. For vegetarians, their Dal Mash is really good with a smoky flavor. I really like the ginger pieces they add in a lot of their preparations. The only negative I have is the high prices as compared to some other restaurants with equally good Pakistani food. read more

I've been to this restaurant twice in my life. The first time I went, I decided I would not come back again because the food was very average. I changed my mind and gave it another shot a few days ago. The food remained the same. The spice is not there even when we asked for it to be spicy. The naan was more on the soggy side. The tandoori chicken tasted fishy and not cooked enough. The chicken jalfreezi had more vegetables than chicken in the dish. The service was fine but the food was most definitely on the pricier side. If you want just average desi/Pakistani food, come here. There is nothing super special about this place. I don't plan on coming back again. read more

I went here with my bf for the first time! The staff was very welcoming. The decor was beautiful. There are handmade embroidery covering the tables, cute little clay decor everywhere. The food was delicious. We ordered Palak Paneer (half serving), Malai Kofta (half serving), 2 garlic naans, and Mango Lassi (full pot). The only recommendation I would make is the food is on the milder side so if you like spicy definitely order spicy. We had plenty of leftover to take home with us. Happy as can be! read more

Great food and authentic food. Will be coming back. Fresh food . And keema partha was amazing.

We visited Clay Handi during our trip to Niagara Falls. The food was very good. We tried the breakfast items. Aloo, Gobhi Parathas & Halwa Puri. The quantity was good and fairly priced. The staff was friendly as well. We will visit again if we happen to come to Buffalo. read more

Food was hot and very good. Some of the prices were way out of line for same dishes in other similar restaurants. The service was slow, unwelcoming and inefficient. I may consider take out but I am not in any hurry to return to eat in. read more

A hidden gem!! My husband and I stumbled across this place during Restaurant Week 2017. Maymood, the owner and our server was very helpful in menu selections. We have been back a few times since and have brought friends and family along to share in the wonderful food!! They even have take out in a pinch, which is great. While you wait for food, there is a tray of nuts, sauces, salad, etc. that you are provided with and is quite lovely. Some of my absolute favorite menu items are the naan (regular or garlic), samosas, mutton handi, chicken handi, boneless chicken brianyi, shrimp brianyi, etc. My husband loves the kebabs and my aunt (who is gluten free - LOTS of options for her!) loved the palak paneer. Portions are extremely generous and make the prices worth it!! No matter how much you eat, there will be leftovers. The ambiance in the restaurant is very pleasant and cozy. It is a very family-friendly place and the staff is very attentive. I appreciate how authentic everything is and how helpful servers are with placing orders and helping us try new, delicious, foods. The clay serve-ware (available for purchase) and wooden utensils are wonderful. If you have time, stop in and say hello to Maymood! He is wonderful and a wealth of knowledge. I cannot say enough positive things about this place...it is truly a favorite and a rare find. read more

I liked the concept and thus wanted to give it a try. Handi means pot, clay pot is a very old technique of cooking in them from the times of Mohenjo daro. People still use clay pot to store water(it keeps it cold) and drink tea, among others. I think it might have been previously called Zaiqa becoz I found it popping at different places for the same address, even my credit card is charged in the name of Zaiqa, but this restaurant is called Clay Handi. One thing I really liked is the food and flavor....few of the dishes had the authentic Indo-Pakistani food flavor not like most of the Indian restaurants just adding bunch of heavy cream in every dish. Pro Food Flavor Decor Cons Service (very slow) Parking (limited) Expensive (half plate chicken dish is $19.99, $6-7 more than a standard Indo-Pakistani restaurant) read more

Good food but over crowded and understaffed. Took more than a hour to get our food to the table.

What a gem! The food is absolutely delicious and the servings immense. The staff is gracious and and helpful. It's wonderful!

Food is okay. Food flavor was not authentic at all. Visiting Niagara falls so found this place. Even the small local desi restaurants in NY are better than this. It has barely any flavor. And I would still give food 2 stars but the service was HORRIBLE. The waiter was either the owner who did not want to wait. Least courteous person ever. Very rude. No hi, no hello, no thank you. Overall, service or food can be better as the menu offers lots of option for desi food lover. read more
