Clove Garden is a delightful culinary gem that I recently had the pleasure of visiting. Nestled in a cozy corner, this restaurant offers a warm ambiance that sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. One of the standout beverages is the Masala Buttermilk . This refreshing drink is perfectly spiced, providing a delightful balance of flavors that is both cooling and invigorating. It’s an excellent way to start your meal and prepare your palate for what's to come. For the main course, I highly recommend the Sahi Paneer . This rich and creamy dish is a treat for the senses. The paneer is cooked to perfection, soaking up the luscious sauce, which strikes a lovely balance of spices and creaminess. It's a must-try for anyone who enjoys Indian cuisine. Additionally, the Baby Potato Manchurian is another dish that should not be missed. The potatoes are expertly fried, achieving that perfect crispness, and they are generously coated in a tangy and slightly spicy sauce that will leave you craving more. It's a fantastic fusion dish that showcases the chef's creativity. Overall, Clove Garden offers a delightful dining experience characterized by its flavorful dishes and inviting atmosphere. If you're in the mood for some delectable Indian cuisine, make sure to stop by and indulge in their must-try selections. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Service and hospitality were amazing. For appetizers, I had the kodi vepudu and lamb pepper fry. Both were amazing and complemented each other. I also had the bone-in chicken biryani, and it was delicious; the white sauce went well with it. For the main course, I had the butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, and paneer shahi. They all came out quickly with a good temperature, and it was all delicious. For the side, the garlic naan has just the right amount of crispiness and was flavorful. For the last dish, the mix grill had a variety of meats that were all seasoned well and delicious. The presentation was also amazing. Will recommend to friends and family. 10/10 experience.

This Indian restaurant is a true gem! The appetizers were absolutely amazing — the Momos were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the Dosa Bomb was a crispy, creative twist that stole the show. On top of the delicious food, the owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole experience feel special. A must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and genuine hospitality!
This my 1st time at Clove Garden and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my meal. We tried a lot of different dishes including many vegetarian and have to say it was hard to choose a favorite! The wait staff was very friendly & helpful when choosing the dishes. I will definitely be coming back!
I called Clove Garden Indian restaurant in East Brunswick, as I needed a place to host my family following my father‘s funeral. This restaurant was accommodating with space and menu. Prince, the owner, was very accommodating and responsive to inquiries. As someone who does not eat Indian food easily, the food was 5 plus stars. It was delicious, not overwhelming to the palate and overall delicious. Highly recommend for people of all backgrounds, especially those who are new to Indian food experience, as well as those who are experienced connoisseurs. Will definitely dine here again
I had an amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with beautiful decor that added to the authenticity. Special shoutout to the staff, who were attentive, friendly, and happy to make recommendations. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine made with care. Can’t wait to come back!
