Our heritage

From Clay and Fire:
The Story Behind
Every Handi

"Long before ClayHandi became a restaurant, it was a feeling — a memory of meals cooked slowly in earthen pots."

Founded in 2011 by Murshad Masud Qazi, Clay Handi brought traditional Pakistani clay-pot cooking to Buffalo, NY — the first of its kind in the United States. Each dish carries 15+ years of combined kitchen wisdom, slow-cooked over open fire just as generations have done before us.

The art of clay-pot cooking

Three Steps to a
Perfect Handi

01

The Clay Pot

Every handi begins with a seasoned clay vessel — porous earth that breathes, absorbs spice, and transforms simple ingredients into something profound.

02

Open Fire

Low, patient flame. The clay pot sits over real fire, coaxing out flavors that no modern stovetop can replicate. This is how it has always been done.

03

Your Table

Served as it was cooked — in the clay vessel, steaming, fragrant, alive. A dish that carries the memory of fire, earth, and 60 years of expertise.

The most authentic Pakistani food I've had outside of Pakistan. The clay pot chicken handi is life-changing — rich, smoky, and deeply spiced. Clay Handi is a hidden gem.

As someone who grew up eating home-cooked Pakistani food, I can say Clay Handi nails every dish. The Lahori Kulcha is perfect. Highly recommend the Shahi Korma.

Brought my whole family for Eid and everyone was blown away. The food tastes made with love and patience. The clay pot cooking method really makes a difference.
