Cloves Indian Cuisine

Cloves Indian Cuisine is an attractive restaurant tucked away in a quiet area of NOMAD on Madison at 27th Street. The portions are very generous, the staff is gracious and warm, and every dish is perfectly prepared, layered and flavorful. We ordered several appetizers, not knowing just how large all the portions would be. The plump Samosas had a perfectly brown, crisp crust and a delicious mixture of spices, enhanced with fresh cinnamon. The onion fritters and lasuni gobi were also crisp and fresh. Each of the condiments—mango chutney, tamarind, raita—were uncommonly delicious with more complex flavors than usual. For entrees we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, which was my husband's favorite for how fresh and well prepared the meat was. I loved the Butter Chicken for its complex, deeply laye

We had an amazing experience at Cloves! The food was delicious with incredible-rich flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfect spice levels. The staff were all kind, helpful, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was cozy and elegant. The owner, Syed, enthusiastically greeted us and was actively involved in adding a personalized touch for all guests. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing time dining at Cloves India Cuisine. The food was absolutely incredible rich flavors, perfect spice levels, and dishes that tasted homemade in the best way possible. Every plate felt thoughtful and authentic, from the appetizers to the curries to the naan that came out warm and fresh. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Syed, the manager, was the sweetest and most generous host. He checked in multiple times, made sure everything was perfect, and genuinely made us feel welcomed and taken care of. His kindness and hospitality truly elevated the entire meal. If you’re looking for delicious Indian food paired with exceptional service, Cloves India Cuisine is the place to be. I’ll definitely be returning!

Omg! This place is amazing! The food is literally the best Indian Cuisine I've ever had in the US, and Gaurav is amazingly kind and welcoming! He helped us pick out the most amazing dishes - so good! Highly recommend - just look at the beautiful plate they did for my birthday!

Litterally just had the best expierence of my life. The owner Syed couldn’t be nicer. Came in here because we saw good reviews, but the food surpassed any expectations we had. Our servers were so kind, the ambiance is amazing. The artwork is beautiful and the lighting is scenic. Was a lux experience. Started off by ordering chicken vindaloo and butter chicken, with basmati rice that came with green peas and garlic naan. The dishes were unreal and I’m so glad I just found my new favorite restaurant in NYC!! 5 stars isn’t enough love this place so happy we came. Syed also brought us free dessert pictured here, and it was the best thing we’ve ever had. Was insisting a glass of wine, but it’s a work night. It was Dilwali tonight and the energy was immaculate. 20/10 recommend Cloves Indian Cuis
