UPDATE: My wife and I decided to try this restaurant again on 30 Aug 2024 to see if our outstanding first visit was just luck, or if this restaurant actually puts out top quality food and service on a continuous basis. We ordered the Lamb Samosa, Clove Garden Salad-Indian Salad, Lamb Bhuna, Chicken Chili Masala, Naan, and Garlic Chili Naan. Everything tasted magnificent and just as good, if not better than our first visit.
The service was still top notch; they provided efficient, attentive, and friendly service to us and noticeably to other tables in the restaurant while we were there. Our primary server for the evening, Vinay, was truly remarkable and ensured that our experience was comforting and memorable. I cannot stress how wonderful this restaurant and employees are...my only regret is that it is located on the opposite side of the city from my residence.
The prices are still reasonable...I mean you can't really go cheaper considering the high quality food they serve - it's definitely worth it! I also appreciate this business for their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans - my hat's off to you for that!
I still highly recommend this restaurant to all locals and visitors!! I've been in the mood for some Indian food in the past year or so and since there aren't any good Indian restaurants by my house (far Northwest part of Las Vegas), I decided to try this restaurant since my wife and I were already in the area. When we walked in, I was shocked how nice this place looked - it definitely looked like it should be one of those 4-dollar sign restaurants on the Las Vegas strip. We were greeted nicely by all the employees as we were shown to our seat.
I was appreciative that our server explained some of the dishes to me as I was on a mission to try something different than what I normally eat whenever I experience Indian cuisine. We ended up ordering the Vegetable Pakora, Chicken Pakora, Chicken Dhansak, Lamb Curry, and Garlic Naan. Everything that was placed on our table tasted remarkable. The Garlic Naan could be eaten no matter the time of the day; whether for breakfast, dessert, or even using it to brush your teeth - it's just that good!
The service at this restaurant is phenomenal. They do a wonderful job of coming around to ensure your experience is spectacular, and not too frequent so that you feel annoyed - it is well balanced. Also, I felt that the price-to-quantity/quality ratio is respectable; you definitely get what you pay for.
Overall, this restaurant is outstanding. If you've never been here before, you unequivocally need to try it - I highly recommend...
Read moreReplacing a Blaze Pizza on Rainbow Boulevard in October 2021 it is safe to say Clove Indian Cuisine and Bar filled a niche, the rapidly expanding area until then featuring an abundance of dining options but the nearest Indian eatery no less than ten minutes by car.
Close to Arby Avenue, the 215, several businesses and medical offices, owner Ankit Bansal found the space nearly turn-key save for replacing artwork and installing a Bar plus Tandoor oven, the result a brightly lit space that is spotless from entryway to the bathrooms.
Closed Mondays at lunch, but otherwise offering a Lunch Buffet from 11am until 3pm and A la Carte Dinner from 5pm to 10pm daily, it was as a party of six that seventeen Items were ordered, complimentary Papadum kicking things off next to housemade Chutney that also goes well with spicy Samosas, golden Onion Bhaji or crisp Pakora.
Offering Indian Booze and Beer, though a Mango Lassi goes further in quelching the heat, Vegetarians will discover no shortage of options including Pepper-soaked Paneer or deep-fried Cauliflower that is delightfully complex with a faintly sweet finish.
Using the Tandoor to make Las Vegas’ best Naan, airy but crisp around the perimeter whether brushed with Butter or topped in Garlic or Peppers, that same oven also turns out succulent Meats best sampled as a “Tandoori Mixed Grill,” but equally impressive when used to build Biryani that doesn’t hold back in terms of spice level.
No doubt built with an Indian clientele in mind, a half-full dining room at 6:00pm on Monday suggesting success so far, Stews come in sharable portions whether one sticks to familiar Butter Chicken or ventures into Bone-in Goat Curry and Cardamom-heavy Lamb Rogan Josh.
Adding puffed Bhatura, deep-fried but not oily to sop up Sauces, Kheer comes creamy and complex while Kulfi and Gajar Halwa made on-site are each as good as one will find anywhere in...
Read moreFood Review: Clove Indian Restaurant, Las Vegas
Nestled a little off the bustling Las Vegas Strip, Clove Indian Restaurant is a delightful gem that promises a rewarding culinary experience. While it might take a short stroll through an extra mall to reach it, the journey is well worth it.
Upon entering Clove, you're greeted by a clean and inviting ambience. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, with organized tables that create a pleasant dining atmosphere. The warm and friendly service adds to the overall charm—our waiter was attentive and eager to ensure our experience was enjoyable.
Now, let's talk about the food. Clove offers a variety of dishes that cater to different spice levels, making it accessible for everyone. The flavors are well-balanced, delivering a satisfying taste without overwhelming heat. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or someone who prefers milder dishes, the staff is more than happy to accommodate your preferences.
In terms of quality, I can confidently say that Clove serves some of the best Indian cuisine in Las Vegas, especially for a restaurant located off the Strip. Each dish we tried was prepared with care and presented beautifully.
The only area for improvement I noticed was in the cleanliness of the restrooms, which could benefit from a bit more attention. However, this minor setback does not overshadow the overall experience.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend Clove Indian Restaurant for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Indian flavors while enjoying great service. I would rate this restaurant a solid four stars for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. If you're in Las Vegas, make sure to stop by Clove—you won't be...
