our story
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, where aromas danced through the air and flavors told stories.
Inspired by this heritage, we bring you an experience rooted in tradition. Each dish is slow-cooked over fire, served with soul, and meant to be remembered.
