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!

Garlic Naan

Always love coming here and getting the buffet. They have everything labeled at the buffet and the staff definitely take pride in this restaurant. They're always informative on ingredients, suggestions and always willing to make accommodations to your liking! The layout of the restaurant is nice and bright.

Online Order: Garlic Naan, Paneer Tikka Masala, Vegetable Samosa

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.

Here, you can count the number of Indian restaurants on one or two fingers, so I can't be too picky. I think this is Americanized Indian food in the same vein as Americanized Chinese food. The flavors are not as bold and strong as they otherwise would be. The service is friendly, and they were training a new server when I went. It's restaurants like this that help increase the diversity of the restaurant scene and I am glad they are here.

Vegetable Samosas, Eggplant Bharta
Kaylan J.

I ordered from here a moment ago using Postmates and it is amazing. A lot of food for what I paid for and was not expecting that. The rice is the best cooked I've ever had. The Eggplant Bharta is incredibly delicious and packs a little heat. The vegetable samosas are great as well. Thank you guys!

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.

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.

A Cut Above the Monday Blues…read more The Chop House has quickly become a go-to family favorite since my folks moved to Murfreesboro, whether I'm in town visiting or they're dining on their own. The food and service consistently hit the mark, and our latest visit was no exception. I was surprised by how bustling it was for a Monday night--the place was absolutely packed! There was a party of 30 near us, plus a group of 12 right next to our table celebrating a 2-year-old's birthday. It was great seeing everyone having such a special celebration, and despite how busy the team was, we were seated and served in a very reasonable timeframe. My mother made a reservation in advance, and the team graciously accommodated her request for a booth to help with her back issues. They are always wonderfully welcoming to her 5-pound service dog, who sits quietly right beside her. Everyone--from the staff to the fellow diners--was warm and friendly, which makes the whole atmosphere even better. I usually go for the prime rib sandwich, but this time I opted for the full prime rib dinner with soup and a baked potato. It certainly did not disappoint, though it was so generous I couldn't even finish it all. As one of the nicer spots in Murfreesboro, it's a wonderful choice if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion--or just enjoy a top-tier meal.

The Chop House has to be one of the best restaurants in town. Nice interior. Great bar. Friendly…read moreand accommodating staff. The manager greeted me kindly. The food was perfect and really not even that expensive compared to my home town. I started with a nice Cabernet. I had two in fact. I did not know that Tennessee has an extra tax (LBD - 15%) on alcohol sold by the glass! I thought Republicans were all about low taxes. I also enjoyed an absolutely delicious shrimp bisque. It was really good (and only $6 for a bowl). It was smooth and flavorful. In my neighborhood that would cost $15. My entree was a daily special, yellowfin tuna. It was nicely seared on the outside and sushi grade on the inside. I could really taste the healthy Omega 3's. The fish was served on a nicely flavored bed of long grain rice. A wonderful mango salsa topped the fish. The accompanying broccoli was perfectly steamed. This was only $26. I shall return again to this great place.
