What can I say about Clove that does this restaurant justice? 5/5 on all accounts - food, staff, service, atmosphere. The food here is so good that nothing else matters. Just an A+ experience all around. All I can say is WOW!!! I'm a huge fan of Indian cuisine, so I've tried a bunch of Indian restaurants, but this is one of the top! I've never had Indian food this good. The chef knows his stuff. I think the reason why the food is so good is how much heart and soul they put into their cooking. You can taste the passion in every mouthful, and it makes the whole experience even more special. Forget about the ordinary Indian places you've been to; Clove takes things to a whole new level. The flavours here are unlike anything you've ever tasted. Actually talking about it is making me hungry for them again. You can tell there's real thought, real skill, real flavour behind everything. Food of course speaks for itself, nothing I could beat anywhere else! Clove is one of those rare places that gets everything right -- atmosphere, service, mocktails, and food. The ambiance is stunning, and you're immediately greeted by warm, welcoming staff. And if you want the full experience, ask for Simran. She's the star of the show. Perfect recommendations, amazing service, and just genuinely makes you feel welcomed. She deserves all the praise! All the flavours hit the right notes in a perfect symphony. Every dish is packed with flavour, and you can really tell how much thought goes into the ingredients and cooking. The flavours are bold but well balanced, and nothing feels overdone. Each course stands out on its own, and everything tastes consistently excellent. For the main course, we had the butter chicken and wow -- it was incredible. The quality, spice, and flavour were off the charts. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with flavour, easily the best we've had around here. The butter naans, cheese naans and garlic naans were the perfect sides -- soft, warm, and just the right amount of indulgent. And the presentation speaks for itself in the pictures. The food quality is nothing short of exceptional--each dish is a masterpiece, crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and presented with an artistic flair. Every dish is a testament to the chef's mastery and passion for Indian cuisine. One bite of the Amritsari Cod Pakora and you'll be hooked! You won't be able to stop eating them! When the mocktails (Lycheenis, Blue Caribbean, Pineapple Mango Margarita) are looking this good, you know they taste even better. The Berry-licious Gajrela was the best fix for my sweet tooth! Every dish was expertly prepared, and the flavours were spot on. The entire team works together seamlessly to create an unforgettable atmosphere. This place is the epitome of customer service. The seamless teamwork between them, coupled with impeccable professionalism, added a personal touch to our visit. What truly sets Clove apart is its unwavering commitment to providing impeccable service. The service is outstanding; the staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, ensuring that every detail is perfect and that you feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout your meal. Textures, flavours, spice, presentation - it was all outstanding. We honestly wanted to order every item on the menu...that's how great everything tasted. There's so much love in every dish and you can taste it immediately. I cannot speak highly enough of the service, especially Simran. The only thing better than the delicious food and the beautiful ambience, is the lovely staff that treats everyone like family. Highly recommend if you're craving Indian comfort food done right. I can go on raving about this place but I suggest you find out on your own. So come here for the real deal! read more

A real upper class indian fine dinning restaurant . Eeewww it sounds so snobby but true. Anyway the first thing you will notice is the massive entrance through a giant door to another closed door entrance which will lead to the restaurant space. Great job with each and minor detail of decor from floor tiles to bar setting. Very lavishly decorated. Our party was quite boring with an elderly person so we sticked to very basic indian paneer and chicken items on the menu but anyone else can enjoy the variety they have. Equally amazing were the deserts. As beautiful as were there names so was the presentation of each desert. Good collection of drinks and a very informative booklet is a submenu explaining many drinks and dishes content. Very nice music and extraordinary hospitality. I must say the place has a style statement. Cheers to the owner read more

This place should be called Salt-the art of horrible cooking. Some how we managed to find the worst Indian food in Surry which is a real achievement. A general rule I have is never go to a restaurant that has no one eating in it and when we came here we thought it might be closed because there were so few people only two tables occupied. Despite the place being empty the surly older women who greeted us made us do go to the front desk and do a reservation. We had two mocktails that were huge but bland (a complaint also made by another table), a appitizer that was pretty but rather than bland and that despite being cold and there literally be no other tables at that point it took 25 minutes to get and then we were served after almost an hour two of the most over salted dishes I have ever been served in a restaurant. I don't know if the cook didn't taste the dish or there is something deeply wrong with their palate but after a few bites neither of us could continue to it. We told both our younger server and the surly women that it was inedible and the surly woman just laughed which was nuts and the younger woman offered to have them "fix" it which I don't know how you fix an OVER SALTED dish with remaking it completely. While we aren't Indian, I have lived in Indian and have been adopted by aunties and ammas from both the north and the south and there is no way my Keralian dish nor my spouse's Punjabi dish should have tasted the way it did. Even after sending both dishes back barely eaten they still tried to make us pay for them only giving us 15 percent off a meal where again we could not eat our entrees. To top it off half way through our meal the surly women decided to spray airfresher right behind us which felt extremely rude and smelled disgusting. The other server claimed they had a "water leak" from the roof and the sole other table complained of a smell. I have no idea what these people's issue is but you can't have food that bad and be that rude even if you are in the heart of a large Indian population that will support you no matter how bad you are. read more

The decor and interior was very nice. The presentation style was awesome. However food left a little more to be desired. This restaurant has so much potential to be great. But the lack of freshness of food threw that off. The food just felt either stale or pre prepped. the good stuff: The drinks tasted great! the presentation was great. I enjoyed the parlor tricks with the drinks and food. Presentation was great. The bad: Our whole dining experience was less than 1 hour from appetizers to drinks to mains. We skipped dessert. Food just came out so fast that there is no way it was fresh. We would order and 2 mins later there it is. And you could feel the lack of freshness. The pappad tasted stale. The chutneys were great. The lamb was a little on the tougher and gamier end (again did not taste fresh). The chicken also did not taste fresh out of the oven. Felt reheated. This place has a very high potential of being great (5 stars) if they would just focus on food quality. read more

My new favorite fancy Indian restaurant in Surrey! I had an absolutely delicious meal at Clove and will be returning the next time I'm in Surrey. We ordered the avocado chaat as an appetizer and it was quite tart and spicy. Our favorite was the butter chicken. We were too full for dessert but will definitely have to try their interesting desserts next time. The restaurant had very nice decor and a warm ambiance. The only complaint I had was that my cocktail was a bit strong and not as flavorful as I had hoped. read more

We have been to this place twice, the first time it was for dinner, food and cocktails were very good. The interiors look very modern yet indian. There was live indian music playing, but it was super noisy to have a quiet dinner. We had ordered some curries, Chilli cheese Naan and peshawar naan, all of it tasted extremely favorful. The service was quick and prompt even tho it was crowded that day. The second time was during lunch, and we ordered the same menu as we were driving from Seattle and craving for good food. The food taste was not consistent to the last time. It was pretty disappointing. I am not sure if I would try again specially with so many choices in vancouver. For the price and ambience, their food flavor could be improved a lot. read more

Clove - This drink was good. Ginger, lemon sparkling drink. - Indian Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

Good place for occasions birthdays anniversaries. We liked pretty much everything that we ordered. They had a variety of bread selections and we went with the bullet naan which was a good change from the usual. The staff was very friendly, took pictures for us and even brightened the lights for our photos. It was relatively empty for a Sunday night. Plenty of parking. read more

I finally got a chance to try Clove with my co-workers for a holiday lunch. And my! What a beautiful restaurant! The decor is elegant and inviting. I ordered the Afghani Lamb Masala and it was delicious. The portions looked a little small to me, but was surprised to find a good amount of meat and was filling. The sauce was creamy and so full of flavour, and paired well with their garlic naan and basmati rice. read more

After being told by many of my friends about this place, We decided to try it out. The furst thing we noticed was great interior decor.. A truly fine dining feel. Only one concern was the Separators due to CoVID were too close and made it hard to get in or out of table. Drinks were unique and nice but not as good as I was expecting But when it came to food, the menu was very different from a typical Indian Restaurant. The dishes are unique and excellent. But each and every dish was excellent and tasty. Overall, Excellent place, great food and amazing ambiance. Will surely be back.h read more

Good food, great atmosphere & good service. Only complaint would be that the dish ware used for the meals didn't retain heat so the food would cool down too quick/would get cold midway through eating. Food however tasted good, nice flavours, unique combinations and interesting/delicious twists on drinks and desserts. Naan were light and airy, and the different sabji's tasted delicious. The drinks were unique, but hit and miss as the one i got the spicy mango pineapple drink had a lot of ice, no flavour and the jalapeno didn't mesh well with the drink. Would recommend, enjoyed this and definitely felt like a upscale dining experience due to the attention and details put into the decor & overall experience for customers. read more

Feels like an up and coming place. They are about to hit their 2 year anniversary. Friendly staff, they were not familiar with the corkage concept for wines, but let us carry our own wine for a fee, and that was great. The food is above average compared with other establishments in the surrey area, we tried the new delhi butter chicken, rara gosht, tandoori chicken and some breads. The tandoori chicken was very saucy , it was flavorful but I would not classify it as authentic. The butter chicken was good and I liked the way they pour the gravy at the table. Will come back again to try other items. The place is very noisy with loud music , so keep that in mind. read more

Great tasting food!!!! The management and service is top level! Will visit Clove often

Had heard a lot about Clove from friends, but never got a chance to visit since it opened. Finally the day, out of blue we are here. The food is really good, especially Prawn Ghee Roast. I usually prefer a lot spicier but this was well done too. The chutney's that are given with Assorted Papad plate is to die for. Even after over eating on the main course, we were gutsy enough to order the dessert, Aam Papad. Well the name is deceiving. If you are a mango lover as I, you are definitely to fall in love with the dish. It's technically four desserts in one. Aam Papad stuffed with burfi, Vanilla Ice-cream, Mango Rasmalai.. read more

First time going to this newly opened restaurant. Interior was clean and sophisticated. The music was too loud for comfort, making it difficult to hear the server and others. We ordered drinks which were ok, they were too sweet and not enough alcohol. The appetizers and mains were delicious. The butter chicken did throw us off because they add the sauce to the chicken in front of you. The chicken to sauce ratio was disappointing, needed more sauce. Overall, great experience and will definitely be going back soon. read more

Never had a bad experience here, and it is the only Indian restaurant I recommend to people in the metro-Van area. Love that their cocktail menu has Indian flavour influences, and the this has to be the only real Indian fine-dining restaurant Surrey has; one that doesn't just dump food in large quantities into a bowl, in typical Indian fashion. They pay attention to the presentation of both, the food and their cocktails. The ambience is lovely, service is impeccable, and during a dinner over the holiday season last year, they even had a magician perform and engage at every table! Highly recommend this place. read more

First thing you notice is the beautiful classy decor. Swanky bar area when you enter the dining room. We tried 3 apps (khatta meetha cauliflower, beetroot murraba & avacado/chickpea chaat) and 3 entrees-all veg and all delicious with their own flavor profiles. The 3 entrees (benarsi dum aloo, bhindi & karahi paneer) were equally as delish and brought out hot. Finally, the service was excellent. Attentive, knowledgeable and subtle. Staff was probably one of the most pleasant we've ever met. We were able to dine and talk and enjoy the evening at our leisure. Will definitely come back! read more

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. Everything was plated so well. Our waiter, Govind was very pleasant and took time to recommend dishes. Very impressed for a fusion Indian restaurant. The dishes used to serve were very modern, beautiful cup and saucer used for chai. Our party was very impressed and loved the food, every dish was so unique in okaying and spices. read more

Fantastic though surprising experience It was out first visit to The Clove. The restaurant décor is classy and have lot of panache. My first reaction to the place was like "WOW". Coming on the food, it was very good starting from the pre- appetizers such as Chicken Shorba and Chilled Heirloom Tomato Rasam, appetizers such as Chicken Mangalorean Sukka,Murgh Tikka were really good and in vegetarian Hung Yogurt Kebab was good :) and Khatta Meetha Cauliflower was ok as it kind sweet more. Chilli laccha paratha was really amazing. Highly recommended. Main course we ordered Chicken Andhra and Paneer Pasanda were decent as well. Coming on the surprise, is that we found a big swirling long hair in the paneer pasanda. Very shocking! We informed the server and the manager came as well. Well they offer us complementary Gulaab Jamun Cheese cake. However, in such an elite find dining this is not acceptable. This is matter of trust and health which has been breached. read more
