Best Pakistani Restaurant in Buffalo

My wife and I have driven by this place numerous times and said we needed to try it out. Well we finally did, and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! First off, the place is brand new, bright, very well kept, and had that “good vibe” feeling as soon as we walked in. Very few restaurants have this kind of feeling. It can’t be bought, it comes from a family owned establishment that has clearly put their heart into the food and care deeply about what they do. Needless to say, we were both very pleasantly surprised. Being very white Americans that are not familiar with Pakistani food at all, we asked the waiter for a recommendation. I got the Beef Handi with a regular and a garlic Naan (which we shared), and the wife got the Chicken Charsi Tikka. During our meal the owner came over very politely and asked how our food was, how we heard about them, and thanked us for coming. Super professional and very welcoming. His wife, who had recently lost her father, made a beautiful announcement to the whole restaurant about father’s day and how every day should be a father’s or mother’s day and to cherish the moments with your parents. It was very touching and literally made the wife cry. The food was SO GOOD! I can’t remember a time when my wife’s food didn’t get messed up or was just plain bad or the staff didn’t care. Not this time! She said it was the best chicken she’s ever had (and that’s saying something trust me on that). My Beef Handi was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The fresh Naan bread was absolutely delicious. I struggle for anything bad to say about this restaurant, it was truly top notch all the way around and we will definitely be going back. If you have driven by like me and thought “I should stop in and try that”, you should! You definitely won’t be disappointed! If it was possible, I would give Clay Handi 6 stars. It truly was THAT good!
