My picky husband loves this restaurant. They’re consistent with their flavors and quality. The restaurant staff is attentive and friendly. The parking can be tight at times.

This spot is amazing! I’ve ordered take-out and dined in and the food is great. Lots of vegetarian options; veggie combo for 2 is a great deal if you’re looking to sample a lot of their dishes. They are super attentive, too! Overall, a great little hole-in-the-wall. Must try!

10 stars. Been in La 8 years. This is the best indian food. I used to drive 30 min to Mint Leaf in Pasadena but this place is better. Have been coming for a few months now. Faves are Matar Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Keema Naan. Will not disappoint. Best for takeout imo.

First I must say, don’t let the lack of people scare you off. It seems like the majority of their business is take out. We were the only ones in the restaurant who are there. I had the Lamb Tikka Marsala and it was fantastic. I ordered it medium/hot and the spice level was spot on, lots of flavor and spice without being too spicy. My wife got the Chicken Tandoori and it was excellent as well. Our server was friendly and helpful in making suggestions. I highly recommend trying it.

I arrive at the India Clay Pit as a delivery driver. I was applaud at the treatment I received from the women at the counter when I asked where the restroom was. She said she was sorry and pointed to a sign that said no public restroom unless you’re a customer. I politely told her I was picking up for a customer then she said no delivery men either. Clearly I am a women and the lack of compassion she had for me was horrible. As a delivery driver I patron MANY establishments I pick up from this could have been one of them. I will be declining any pick ups at this location and I will never dine in.

We have ordered food to-go from here over a dozen times and the quality is always so good! The staff is very kind and I absolutely love ordering from here! I’ve tried more than half the menu here. Also, they have the best mint chutney!

Parked my semi truck at Pilot Castaic road opposite to this restaurant. Walked in to this place to order for some for 2-3 days. Butter chicken, chilli chicken, goat curry, garlic naan and raita, gulab jamun. Food was delicious and comes in big bowl. I will stop here again. Thank you sir for great customer service and offering free tea.

Food was really good. The portions was ok as well but the reason I’m giving it a lower rating is because of the rude server that we had. He never smiled once and was being short with us when we were ordering. Infact the busser was a lot better and was probably the only reason we even stayed instead of just leaving. It sucks because I really wanted to give this place a 5 star rating.
