I'm unsure I've ever given a 5 star rating for one dish before today. OMG the butter chicken was so…read moreamazing, midway through I told my bf "I think I found my new favorite place ATX." We also got the vindaloo and the naan, I will say the naan was a little weird and felt maybe slightly undercooked but the butter chicken was so good I didn't even need to get the naan. We ordered take out but we had to order it at the restaurant. I initially thought the staff was a little frazzled and tense but then the fire dept showed up and I realized one of the girls who was eating dinner ended up having a seizure right before we walked in. All things considered the staff handled it really well!

I'm surprised this place doesn't have a higher rating because the experience a friend and I had…read morehere was one of the best experiences I've had with Indian food. 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.

I ordered what seemed to be a new featured item, a bowl that included your choice of protein in a curry (I got chicken in what I think was Masala), a portion of basmati rice, a nice salad, and a generous dollop of Rita. It was an excellent lunch and a good value at $12. And it was really PRETTY. I like that.

I ordered from the Kid's Menu: Kid's Tikka Curry Bowl (gluten free) with chicken in a mild Tikka Masala curry over basmati rice. Other options are veggies or paneer. Served with a choice of drink. It was a very large portion for a child and great value for an adult: it was only $6.50. I even had some leftovers to take home! Service is very quick. They give you a number to place on the table and personally serve the food. I love the large colorful photos on the walls featuring subjects such as Indian spices, vegetables and a food truck with patrons standing in line to order. I will definitely go back and order from the other options. The Masala Bowl looks great!

Definitely not a quiet or relaxing place, but the atmosphere is friendly and lively, filled with fragrant scents of spices. We order the butter chicken and the sagam spl mutton chops masala. The butter chicken didn't disappoint, just as good as last time. I asked for advice for a dish that was NOT rich or to spicy. The masala that I received was very spicy and there was so little meat, mostly bones in my bowl, perhaps 1-2 oz of mutton. We asked for some chai, with the milk on the side. We were served first coffee, which we had to ask to be exchanged, then the tea was good, but was served with the milk in, not on the side. Very, very small drink, tasty but definitely not worth the price. Perhaps our requests were lost in the loud environment or the translation, but they need to work on that. The flavors are good, strong and authentic, but be prepared to enjoy something you didn't expect. The plain naan was a bit for my taste.

Both dishes were served with Basmati Rice and we both left, satiated, happy and carrying some with us. Our server was polite, helpful and very attentive so we tipped her thusly. I even picked up a few items from the store before leaving, too. Teji's had been our Indian goto and I hope you like them as much as we do.

Thanksgiving came around and we had zero desire to cook or clean. Our "plan" (and I use that word…read moreloosely) was Golden Corral. We figured if we got there early, we'd beat the crowd. Cute of us, honestly. We pulled up and that parking lot looked like Beyoncé was performing. Cars everywhere: on the grass, on the curbs, people creating their own imaginary parking spaces. People circling like it was Black Friday. Absolutely not. We left with no backup plan and even less hope. Pulled up Yelp and I remembered that Dimassi's buffet had been on my radar for months, but was it open? Called them up and CHA-CHING!!! Money! They were open, guys. That phone call felt like hitting the lottery. Thanksgiving was saved. We arrived and Dimassi's was calm, clean, and the buffet bar was fully stocked with hot food fresh out of the kitchen. They had your Mediterranean favorites: dips, salads, gyro meat, dolma, chicken kabobs, saffron rice, the good garlicky toum, warm potatoes, fresh pita, everything. They even prepared a turkey for patrons who wanted some. Wow. They understood the assignment. Now a couple things could be tweaked. I like my baba ganoush served warm...and maybe they could have had some lamb options? But, honestly? For a buffet on Thanksgiving at $23 a person ($9 for the 3 yr old with us), they delivered HARD. Dimassi's didn't just feed us...they rescued us from the Golden Corral Hunger Games. Thank you for being open. Thank you for coming through in the clutch. You saved Thanksgiving.

I'd been wanting to check this place out for quite some time. There's another location in Round…read moreRock, but many reviewers said the original spot is much better, so we decided to start with the OG location. Parking is plentiful right in front of the restaurant. We came by on a Saturday around 1 PM, worried it might be packed, but it was actually pretty quiet. You can sit anywhere you like, grab a plate, and pay when you're done. The space is large and open, with three full rows of food and drinks plus a dedicated station for fruit and desserts. Everything was fresh, not overly salty, and there were plenty of options. My favorites were the hummus with eggplant (so flavorful with great texture), the salad and cucumber salad (fresh and refreshing), the dolma (perfectly done), gyro (tender and tasty), baked cauliflower (so good), fried chicken (juicy, crispy, and not salty), falafel (extra crunchy), and the lentil soup (simple but delicious). And don't miss their coffee at the checkout--it has a hint of warm spice and is the perfect finish after a meal. Surprisingly, I ended up loving the vegetable dishes even more than the meats. Overall, yes, $26 per person is on the higher side (what doesn't cost these days, right?!), but it's a great spot to try a variety of Mediterranean dishes that are fresh, simply seasoned, and let the ingredients shine--perfect whether you're new to the cuisine or just want a bit of everything.

My husband and I visit regularly--almost every month. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They serve food on Corelle dinnerware, which elevates the dining experience, and keep several water bottles on each table for convenience. In addition to the waitstaff, they use a food delivery robot, which adds a fun touch. Yesterday, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chole Bhature, and 10 pieces of Dahi Puri. The food arrived quickly, with the kebabs still sizzling on the plate. The spice level of the Tikka Kebab was spot on, and the Chole Bhature was delicious--even getting a stamp of approval from my husband! The Dahi Puris were so good that we couldn't stop eating until they were all gone. We highly recommend this spot.

It was fine because I was able to gauge the place and noticed a robot delivering some of the plates to the tables, I thought that was cool! I ordered a bunch of food because I was hungry, but I started with a cold soda which I asked a glass with ice 3 times to 2 different people, it took them about 20 minutes to get that for me. After I finished eating, I asked for boxes and the check. After 20 minutes of waiting for those. I approached the front desk and they gave me the boxes, still no bill 10 minutes later of me standing there, I was given the bill. I paid with Inkind so they asked to confirm payment but they never came back. At this point it was almost midnight and I've had it, so I paid and I left. The robot didn't deliver my food, the iPads with the menu were just for picking as you couldn't place an order directly from them ‍ The only reason why I gave them 2 stars is because the food was good and the portions were generous. I will NOT be coming back or recommending this place.

I have never been here and I wanted to give it a try because they had a veg grilled sandwhich aka bombay sandwhich. My order: Veggie grilled sandwhich Vada Pav Chole poori Jeera Lassi The price was really on the affordable side but the food wasn't perfect. The sandwhich lacked chutney applied across the entire bread and as a result the sandwhich was dry and choking. Loved the filling, but three layers of bread should be oozing with spreads, else it is going to be dry. Vada pav on the other side was really great as recommended and I loved it, wish the bread was smaller because the vada was smaller than the bun and thus the bun was a larger portion every bite. Jeera lassi was great, no complaints here. Chole poori on the other hand was a neutral order. The poori was made to perfection but it lacked salt and the chole on the other hand was perfect as well but it lacked spices, masala and was bland but it was very well recommended. Imight return to try the chaat.
