Clay Pit

Located inside the supposedly haunted Bertram Building in Downtown Austin’s historic Guy Town, Clay Pit has been around for more than 20 years. While you can find classics like butter chicken and chana masala, the real stars on the menu are fusion items like naan pizzas, curried mussels, jalapeño cream cheese naan, and chapati tacos with lamb rogan josh or fried cauliflower.
