Clove Indian Cuisine has a few hits and misses in a beautiful setting at The Landing. We had a good time here, but I personally wouldn't come back for Indian food, especially since there are so many other Indian restaurants around town.
My friends and I came here for lunch when it first opened on a Sunday, and the place was pretty steady with patrons soon after the restaurant opened its doors. The restaurant is gorgeous and spacious, with bright lighting and turquoise, velvet seating everywhere. They also have private dining rooms that were sophisticated and colorful.
But the real reason you come here, the food, was just A-OK, especially for what it costs. I know food is expensive everywhere, but everything is about $20 per dish. And the thing with Indian food is that you have to get multiple dishes to try, so my friends and I tried an assortment of food for the sharing. My friends and I shared the butter chicken, korma chicken and ajwaini shrimp with garlic naan. The dishes we ordered already came with white rice, but there is an upcharge for basmati rice. The korma chicken and ajwaini shrimp were tasty, and must say they were definitely better than the butter chicken. The butter chicken was a disappointment, as the tomato gravy was sweet more so than savory, which I did not like at all.
Service was fine. We had to wave down the server a few times for refills of chai or water. And when asked if the chai had complimentary refills, I was told yes; however, I was charged for two chais. Weird. It's an expensive meal here for lackluster food. Glad I had a nice time with my friends, but far from my favorite Indian food.
