It was a unique experience and food was very tasty. Mango lassi was delicious! However, it was very crowded and servers were really busy. They were not polite most of the time. Instead of the chicken we ordered they brought a red meat dish which I’m allergic to. We had to ask for cutlery several times. There were not enough plates or cups for our group, so we had to ask for them several times. Plates were given after all the food was served. This might not be the situation at all the times but it was not a very pleasant experience. Also, felt like food was overpriced.

Assalam.u.alikum everyone! This place is amazingly good, lovely ambiance and delicious food. The owner Nazia was really great at greeting everyone personally at their tables and making sure that food was to their expectations. Also other servers were also very respectful and efficient. The beauty of clay Handi is that they're really promoting their origin and true essence of their name. We traveled from NJ and I would say that chicken handi made our day. Thank you for good service and delicious food.

This is authentic Pakistani restaurant! Just loved everything about it ! Taste, atmosphere, ambiance, decor, service everything was fantastic! They serve all the food in clay pot which I found unique. Had handi chicken, paneer tikka masala, daal, naan and special shot tout to Tandoori Roti! Yes you read it correct 👍 It was so good! They have huge menu would love to try free more dishes! I would come back and recommend this place if you are visiting Niagara or Buffalo!

Had a great time dining here. Their clay pots make them stand out with nice Lahore style food taste. Staff is friendly and courteous Will definitely come back here when I’m at Buffalo next.

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. 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.

Revised after getting offer of 5% discount. Dear management team, thank you for your generosity but instead of offering me discount just put effort teaching your crew, better hygienic protocols in the dinning and rest of the area. And most importantly fix your fly sticky hangs. They were just too much. I promise i would come again and eat if you look into my sincere suggestions. End update Original review BBQ place with very poor service and cleanness. Price of the food is high and service in comparison dissatisfied. They only have one toilet which was unclean and wet with no proper hand drying stuff. Tables and chairs were wiped with disgustingly dirty cloth. The same server who was dropping the food was wiping and cleaning other tables. Just imagine the quality of cleanness. There were fly 🪰 catching strings hanging with fresh kill of last couple of days. I had a chance to peak at the kitchen and it does not look at all clean. I am also curious how the wash clay plates and glasses. 2 stars are giving to the food .. I would only recommend takeout.

Went there with family on parents wedding anniversary. Felt like we are sitting in Pakistan somewhere. Food was tasty yummy and good portion. Roghni naaan was outclass. Had conversation with nazia about her story about restaurant and other stuff. She’s really doing a good job. Definitely recommend to all desi food lovers. 👍🏼

I love the theming and atmosphere and being served in clay dishes was a really unique experience. Some of the appetizers are hit or miss but the main dishes are really good. I dined with my family and we ordered their chicken samosa (delicious), paani poori (pretty good), beef handi (beef curry with plain white rice) and beef biryani (beef mixed in with seasoned rice) and goat and lamb handi paired with a couple of sodas. The beef was delicious and very soft, great balance of spices and beef. The clay helped to retain a lot of heat, to the point where the curry was still boiling when we received it! The same goes for the goat and lamb handi which were nice and hot when received and were fall off the bone. Overall, it was a very nice and chill experience thought I do wish the lighting was a bit brighter but that is a very small issue. The food is the main thing and it was quite good and that's coming from a South East Asian. They have beautiful cultural art pieces that I was familiar with and very colorful theming. Give them a try!

First restaurant we try in Buffalo, NY. We always come back if the food is good, but in this case, the food AND customer service was lovely. The lady in the front is such a sweetheart. My tummy is so happy and full. Cheers to good food and company!!🙌🙌🙌😇❤️

Very nice and helpful when picking food. Tastes great and is reasonably priced. I will be coming back next week. (Edit-) I have now been here three times and each time I learn a new dish I love. Gonna try them All in due time. The take out receipt is what I recently ordered and it was a nice tasty treat after I got out of work at 10:30 pm.

Food was excellent! Bring your family and friends with you because they give you a lot! I got the mixed vegetable curry and it was some of the best I’ve had in Buffalo. Excellent service. Also, a very pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed the relaxing music too! Would highly recommend to anyone!

$60 for $8 worth of food. Today was my 2nd and LAST time ordering from this restaurant. Portions are extremely small and they have yet to get my order right. Plus they're only 6 minutes drive from my house yet food is always cold! They always "forget" my sauces, napkins and utensils. A small fry at BK is larger than their portion of Fries. The pictures on UEats are seriously misleading. Makes you think you'll get a decent amount of food for the insane prices but NOPE! Can't even customize your Burger on the App. The Fish Combo looks like it comes with a few different things but it doesn't. Should have gotten 8 Samosas with sauces. Only got 2 - no sauce! No cutlery, plates or napkins either.

This is one of the best ethnic food restaurants I have ever been to! My friend introduced it to me tonight! My friend, my sister, and I, we got garlic naan, mango juice, mint margarita (it’s virgin), veggie samosas, Chana masala, mixed vegetable curry, and baingan bhartha! The food melted in our mouths and we devoured as much of it as we could! The rest we brought home with us! When my sister and I got home, my dad tried the food and he agreed that it is absolutely delicious! Also, the customer service we received was beyond excellent! Very kind people running this business! Also, we loved the dishes that the food was served in! Can’t wait to come back!

Good food three alway helpful

Pros: 1) They have a unique way of serving food in clay pots which is likeable. 2) It looks like a family owned and operated business. 3) Stays open until 2am & serves halal food. Cons: 1) No hygiene. 2) Flies flying around all the time. 3) Waiter who brought the empty glasses of water had his fingers dipped inside the glasses. 4) It took them 15 minutes just to bring the tea.

An Uber driver had recommended Clay Handi a few months back, so my girlfriend and I decided to go there for dinner. We had garlic naan, vegetable samosas, beef biryani and bihari chicken kabobs. Everything was delicious, but the bihari chicken was unforgettable. A lot of effort has gone into the ambience. Things like the tables, music, even the menus, which are thick like books. The staff was friendly and seemed eager to provide a great dining experience. We will definitely be back and I'm happy that they have plenty of vegetarian items on the menu so I can bring friends who don't eat meat. I can't stop thinking about that bihari chicken.

The food was very tasty with much flavor. The amazingly crafted utensils and plates felt like we were at our home. We were able to leave Buffalo to our home city with our bellies full of delicious and wonderful food. We are grateful we met this place. Thank you Clay Handi.

The aromas of spices hits you when you walk in the door. I couldn't wait to taste the food, which was incredibly tasty. I couldn't decide what to order due to the very large menu, definitely something for everyone's taste. The veggie samosas were large,very fully stuffed, crispy on the outside and very flavorful. I ordered the aloo mater, which was potatoes and peas in a mildly spicy curry tomato sauce and garlic naan bread. The bread was the size of a small pizza and was delicious. The half portion of the entree and white rice was enough to feed at least 2-3 people. Also ordered the chai tea also delicious. Everything arrived in beautiful clay pots and was piping hot. Absolutely delicious.

We go there Saturday for lunch So we ordered Tandoori Family plater and goat biryani, Biryani was watery in the bottom taste like rice mix with goat curry also Tandoori family Platter was under cooked couldn’t finish our food and little pricy

Finally went to Clay Handi as promised! My friend Beth had the chicken burger with fries. I had the boneless chicken handi and it came with rice. I also ordered the keema paratha which is like bread stuffed with a meat and spices. For dessert I also had gulab jamun! So so good! We also had the strawberry shake which us addicting. So without further a do, let's get into the overall review! Going in its kind of dark which I don't mind and there are beautiful traditional pieces on the walls, beautiful clay plates and silverware plated on each table along with a handkerchief cloth to wipe your mouth. The tables had some type of cloth inside it was cool. Forgot to add you can immediately smell the aroma of spices and wonderful food when you walk in and it's more quiet here so please don't ruin the peace with loud talking! The staff was very kind and understanding and I feel bad to keep asking the 1 guy more questions and stuff I know he needed to eat. With this being said I can infer there aren't many staff. So..yeah. The Keema paratha was good. But what made it so good was the spices inside and the meat. 😋😋😋😋 The chicken burger that my friend Beth had oh my gosh! I tried it and when I tell u it was bangin' it really was! It was juicy and packed full of flavor! Mwah! 💋 it was so good I decided to order one to go to take home. The chicken handi came boiling in the pot! I was very excited for it and it came with a bigger bowl of rice to enjoy it with. When we finally took off the lid we wasted no time and dug in! The chicken + the sauce was spicy but not unbearably spicy. It paired well with the rice ad well to neutral it out as well as with the yummy strawberry shake we had. Beth and I thought the shake was gonna survive but we were dead wrong. We ended up ordering another one lol and that we didn't save it for later! Hehe Lastly on the gulab jamun there were 3 pieces. The syrup was alot as usual yk so after we ate the gulab jamun we couldn't down the syrup but by that time anyway we were full and I just felt lazy yk. It also had almonds in it and I'd never seen that before with gulab jamun. Prices reasonable as well.

The place, ambiance, decor and service all were very good The food was also very good but expensive The owners were cooperative and definitely a place to visit again Halal Pakistani food, proper seating and service. Extensive menu with all kinds of options for adults and kids Chutni is included with order but salad is not included Has both indoor and outdoor siting Also has drive through and parking

Even though food was delicious I have to give them bad reviews. Bc we came from nyc we ordered beef nihari nd it was so good we decided to take back to nyc. We asked the chief if we could take it back in its traditional pot he agreed nd we paid 190$ including the pot. We go home nd it’s only 3/4 portions of beef. I’ll upload pictures below.

Amazing, must try and authentic food, literally cooked in clay pots. Taste and quality is unbeatable extremely clean. Will go again with my friends to have them taste this amazing food as well.

I must say, that it was the best Pakistan cuisine I had in town. A must-go place with family and friends. Specially the owner was soo warm welcoming and staff was well trained in service and hospitality. Well done to team “Clay Handi Resturant”

We had a chicken handi and it was so well cooked that once we thought we eating in our village. Soups were best

The food, atmosphere, and customer service here is top notch! The attention to detail in the decorations and the way they serve the food in the clay pots is amazing. A very unique experience! We have eaten at a lot of restaurants in the Buffalo area, and this one is ranked among my favorites for sure. I will be dreaming about the Malai Kofta for the next month, at least 😋

Authentic Pakistani food. Really like the taste of the food. Our personal favorite items are Chicken Achari and Saag. Finish off the delicious food with Pakistani chai and gulab jamun or gajar ka halwa. Regular visitors for over 2 years now.

After coming from India I was looking forward to try some Pakistani cuisine. A friend of mine recommended this place. The essence and food was wonderful, so was the hospitality.

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We discovered this restaurant at the very end of our stay (at Niagara Falls) and honestly speaking all other halal places that we visited for food were below average.

We went here after a friend recommended this restaurant to us. We ordered half lamb handi with roghni naan and two chai for 2 people. The curry was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic and tasted really good with the soft naan. Being a Chai fanatic, I want to give a 5⭐ for the kulhad Chai as well. Great food, ambience and polite staff.

Good ambiance and sitting place. Food wise BBQ and roti was good. Best part is that it is open till 2:00am so tourists like us can come for late night snacks and chai after visiting the state park!

Food was great, we ordered halwa puri which had an amazing taste, the paratha was freshly made with the other dishes. The Chai was served in to go cups which I think wasn't great as we were looking forward to have it served in the clay cups to feel the authenticity more 😀.

Awesome food. It’s been 4th time we are coming here all the way from New Jersey. Many a times we came here only to eat and not to see Niagara. It’s a hidden gem one who love Indian Pakistani food. Nothing changed over so many years. Taste of each food is beyond description. Ppl from Canada too come here to eat. Everything is served in earthen (clay) pots.

This is a beautifully decorated and homey feeling environment restaurant. Food tastes amazing. Great presentation of food items. I’ve tried beef curry, butter naan and Beef Nihari. Sweet lassi is a must try item. It’s one of the best drink you will ever try. Very refreshing. Their Tea ( Chai) was amazing too. Only down side is that customer service need to be improved. Very poor customer service due to not enough help in the front.

OMG! One of THE BEST authentic Pakistani flavor I’ve ever had in entire NY So far. I would’ve given much more stars if there was an option. Worth going to!!! Definitely, deserves 5 star!!!

Customer service was great. Food was good and atmosphere was worth a stop or a long drive. Loved the whole back home touch in food and dishes. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Will come back on our next trip.

I’m a huge fan of paneer and theirs is delicious. I ordered the paneer tikka masala and the blend was uniquely flavored in my opinion. Presentation was lovely and the owner was really nice.

I ordered food over the phone and i really love the food in clay handi. this is the only pakistani authentic. fast food. BBQ. and 100% zabiha halaal restaurant in Buffalo the foods taste is very delicious and mouth watering and chat pata😜. you must try a beef and lamb sandwich. 5 star baby. Keep it up the good taste.. 👌

I visited some days ago with my friends after Niagara falls sight seeing. Found this restaurant on Yelp, TripAdvisor and google must go-to place after Niagara falls so we came here and we found this restaurant beyond our expectations. Staff and management was so cooperative, food was delicious and never forgotten experience, ambiance was good and we really enjoyed.

Pakistani halal food. Ask me if it's the best I've tasted, nope but for the location Buffalo NY, I guess you would be accepting. It's also a little unfair for rating them since buffalo is close to Toronto where there are so many Desi Pakistani restaurants, so relative to that, it will be hard to please us. The service is great, constantly checking on us, the food is good. The chicken sheesh kebabs were great, the lamb biryani was okay brought down by the dry lamb pieces with hardly any fat on them (learn it from how the Uzbek do their lamb), the naans were huge but the garlic toppings were minimal. The handi karahi was okay, a tad too much tomato based than what I'm used to. Overall, the handi claypot concept was a little gimmicky but I give it a 4 star for effort and some of the dishes are exceptionally good but so so for the handi dishes we tried. Oh don't forget their chai, that chai was awesome and something not to be missed.

Amazing! Great quality, awesome flavors, a incredible experience, cant wait to go back!!

I love clay handi. My family and I have been coming here for years. It’s always a spot we go to when we want authentic pakistani food. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

I had this before . But last time they didnt add enough meat

We love the Chicken Makhani and the Naan! The food is amazing and always super hot! You can tell the owners take great pride in their finished product! We also love the convenience of the drive thru window!! Definitely give them a try! You won't regret it!

Nice customer service and food is really hoof.

Thank you for the delicious Pakistani food😍 we loved it

The lamb kabuli pulao is 😋😋😋 if you like some kick of heat 🔥🔥🔥😋😋😋

The food was so nasty the lamb burger nasty they didnt fix it right it was so sloppy the lassi shake is nasty the fries look like the driver ate out of it didnt have many fries this is a bad food business health department need to go check that place out ASAP

The people are really nice and they did let me pray. Biryani was decent but majority of the meat was really not fully cooked and couldn't eat it. Nihari was without oil and didn't tasted like nihari at all. Naan were awesome. The apricot chatni was tasty.

Authentic food and it was so delicious 😋

Clay handi’s malai kofta is really amazing. The restaurant is open until 2 AM which is really nice.

My family wanted to try something new for dinner so we gave Clay Handi a try. We were impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the food. There were so many choices! Wonderful flavors and fresh, high quality meats and vegetables. We will definitely order again.

Best Indian food in Buffalo. I have been ordering from Clay Handi for the past 3 months and am completely addicted to the chicken handi. The Chicken is cooked perfectly with medium slices and the rice is excellent. I’ve tried a lot of Indian food places in Buffalo and I have to say Clay Handi is the best.

I am glad I finally got to try Clay Handi. Ordering online was easy. The meals we ordered were both good. I am so loving the rice pudding with cardamom! I look forward to dining in sometime to try other dishes.

I ordered for the first time this week. I ordered 2 of the lunch specials (meat platter/ tandoori platter) as I wasn’t sure what to order. I was NOT disappointed it was AMAZING! It was spicy however I love spicy. I will be ordering again as my son and I enjoyed the food!

The Food is always fresh and the service is Fantastic. Staff is super nice and it's an awesome place to get food from late at night should the need arise. Very convenient array of comfort and traditional food, and something I continue to go back to in order to enjoy.

I tried Clay Handi for the first time this evening. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the quality of the food. Everything was incredibly delicious with a perfect level of spice. And I was impressed by how well everything was wrapped for my take-out order. I can’t wait to dine here again and try some more of their wonderful dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant,

Clay Handi has some of the best Indian food in Buffalo! Not only are they open late night for pickup or delivery in case you get a late night craving but they are so nice and the food is so delicious! Their fried food is fried so nicely and their curries are so creamy and flavorful! 100% recommend!

This restaurant gives us not only pure authentic taste but also excellent presentation.Food was delicious and lip smacking. I completely loved all the dishes.worth visiting it.

My Family and I have had Clay Handi twice so far, and haven't been disappointed yet! Its crucial to try the Chicken Tikka Masala dish with some Naan bread! We will definitely be ordering this again in the near future. :)

We’re trying different cuisines from around the world. oh my goodness! Pakistani food is amazing, particularly at this place. The portions are very generous and the food is incredibly good. We had to force ourselves to try a different cuisine and stop ordering meals from Clay Handi because we just kept coming back to here but want to finish our little culinary adventure around the world. Don’t you worry we’ll be back, we have yet to try the lamb.

Great Paya. Very good ambience. Great service.

I tell everyone about Clay Handi - this is the best place to eat in the Buffalo area! I have had many different options on the menu, and none of them disappoint from a simple beef kebab to chicken tikka massala. Great portions and full of different flavors. This is a great place for different settings. I enjoy the atmosphere with my wife and kids and have seen young adults in the patio area as well. Without a doubt a Clay Handi is a hidden gem-

The biryani we order half tray wasn’t so good im sorry 😢

I am all for having a big breakfast as this should be your main meal of the day and since Clayhandi is one of the restaurants open early, to my surprise they have what it takes not to just fill me up but taste is simply out of this world, I didn't expect that I'd have such a authentic Halwa Poori and Nali Nihari with truly authentic fresh Naan straight out from a clay oven at my table in no time. I wish to visit there everyone morning just to have a Tandoori Tea cooked in a clay oven in a clay pot, just loved it. Keep up the great food you are providing to the community, will visit again soon!

Love the food here, we tried it on a whim and fell in love with it. We have been going for years and the food is always perfect. Whether dine in or take out they never disappoint. Kind staff and authentic food.

Great service great food friendly staff.

I was very fortunate to try Clay Handi and meet the owner, Masood, and the chef. Food was excellent and most importantly authentic Pakistani Cuisine. Chef recommended chicken Kebabs and Goat biryani and they both were scrumptious. Prior to the main course I was given some delicious condiments and a hot cup of tea. I will definitely visit Clay Handi again. Enjoyed talking to Masood and all the community work he is doing in Pakistan. Thank you Clay Handi for the luscious food and amazing experience. I will post pictures in another review.

Excellent food very friendly !!!🙂

Great Place and they serve amazing food. There are a lot of options to choose from.

Every time I go here the food is amazing! Never disappointed, great food and portions.

We enjoyed the food so much. We asked for spicy briyani and that's what we got. Very tasty and good service.

Very delicious food ! I’m glad there is a halal place near by. I will order here more often. Usually get the chicken biryani and chicken Shesh kababs.

Most authentic Pakistani food in western New York area. Roghni naans are fantastic!

We really like the ambiance of this restaurant. The food was perfect and I would definitely go to this restaurant when visiting buffalo.

Food was so delicious,Naan are so soft and fresh.

Their lamb sheekh kebab is amazing!! Also, the chicken biryani is one of the best in Buffalo. Love the fact that they’re open till 2 am. Everything in Buffalo closes at 10 pm and this is wayyy better than any 24 hr fast food restaurant! The drive thru pick up is very convenient and safe, especially during COVID!

Order was placed over the phone and everything was ready on time. The food was phenomenal and it was my first time trying. I would highly recommended.
