Been here at least five times. Always been amazing food and service. Food is like homemade fresh food, no overstuffed heavy feeling after. Naan is always fresh and shahi paneer is amazing which is what we always get along with other dishes. Service had been great. But recently, last couple time we noticed the service is delayed, waiters are sitting around, food took a long time, it was slow and vibe was just off. Food was still good. It's on the other side of the town like 25-30 min drive but we always think of going to Gulab whenever we want to go out to eat Indian food. read more

Gulab Indian Bistro - Indian Near Me - Clovis, California

Service was a little slow and our server made me feel a little awkward. Indian food is a little new to me and I didn't know what some of the dishes were. So I would ask for recommendations and she said everything is good but it just depends on me.... Then would give me this blank stare.... I didn't like the service button that we had to press when we were ready to order our drinks, ready to order food, needed napkins/plates/anything and for our tab. Maybe they are trying something new, but I just didn't care for it. Food came out quickly and it was sizzling on the hot plate. The fragrance of the food was amazing. Flavor was pretty good. I didn't care for the saucy chicken and potatoes. It was way too flavorful. We definitely needed to order a side of rice and bread. Which didn't come with the dish. The bread and the grill chicken was my favorite. Our server checked on us about 3 times, which was a bit much.... Isn't that why we have a button if we needed something?? Towards the end of our dinner, (thank God) was a screaming toddler. He was standing on the table in the booth next to us. Taking his spoon banging it against the wall, stomping his feet on the table and screaming. The parents literally did not try to stop him. Even servers didn't tell the parents anything. Just glad that was happening at the end of our meal otherwise we would have gotten up and left. Glad I got to experience it, but definitely not worth the visit for me. read more

Amazing good & super friendly staff. Karan was our server and did a great job at making sure we had a good time.

The food is outstanding. The service is amazing. Atmosphere is upbeat a little bit dark but still good just on the intimate side. The music is nice. I've been here so many times the food is always very consistent. When the owner is there, he always walks around to make sure everybody's doing well. I haven't had a bad dish yet. read more

Gulab Indian Bistro - Naan , BUTTER CHICKEN, GULAB CHICKEN KORMA, Plain Rice, CHILLI PANEER, MANGO LASSI. Looking amazing i cant wait to eat. - Indian Near Me - Clovis, California

Absolutely excellent Indian food. I was greatly impressed by the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall charm of the restaurant. The whole experience, was just wonderful. I went Sunday afternoon with a few friends and I'm pretty happy I did. The interior of the restaurant is nice. I mean, real nice. Between the darker color tones, the subdued lighting, and your patterns on the ceiling tiles, this place has strong personality. Overall, the place looked very clean, and well kept. The waitress that helped us was very helpful, kind, and even recommended her favorite item on the menu. She recommended we try the fish Pekora and I am so glad she recommended it. It was absolutely delicious. Not only was fish cooked perfectly, but the flavors from the spices really shined through; yet not overpowering. We tried the butter chicken and it was creamy and decadent, and two different types of naan. The chili naan was just okay, and not very spicy at all. I mostly tasted butter with a very subtle undertone of heat. But the butter chicken, the butter chicken is probably one of the best butter chicken I've had in Fresno. The butter naan was delicious, but I think they accidentally sent me the roti instead of the naan; Either way, it was very tasty All in all, this place was wonderful and it's totally worth a visit. It's great food, at a decent price, with a wonderful ambience. I can't wait to go again. read more

Food? fire. Service? phenomenal. Ambience? intimate. Our server, Harnaz, was amazing.

Harnaz was our waitress and was truly the best ! I recommend this restaurant 10/10 will be coming back .

First time here, took our friends who tried Indian food for first time. Food and service were great!! read more

The food here is excellent but the service is weird. The first item in our order was out of the kitchen even before we got the beers we ordered. But we had to ask for plates, napkins, and silverware. We also had to ask again for the beers. The rice we ordered to go with the dishes that had sauces was the last item delivered to the table, long after those dishes had been almost completely consumed. read more

The best Indian food in Fresno or Clovis! The ingredients are all fresh, and the service is great. The decor really created a nice ambiance and a warm atmosphere. The butter chicken with the garlic naan was exceptional every single time! I shall return... read more

Do not waste your time with this place . food had no flavor. Bland and tasteless dishes. Service was pathetic. We got our appetizers and main course together . But forget to bring an ordered dish. Had to request to have the water refilled . The server lurking around the table waiting for you to leave but don't bother refilling water or asking if anything we need. read more

The good is that the food is delicious. The bad is that the service is poor. We did not have a reservation, so it resulted in us sitting at the bar, which was fine. Except that I had to flag the guy down to order, to get the check, and then to close out the check. Furthermore, the reserved table he wouldn't give us was still reserved without anybody sitting at that table the entire time when we left an hour later. If the owner saw how the staff was running the dining room, I am sure he would make changes. Recommend not taking reservations for such a small restaurant! Did I mention the food was very good? It was! read more

Revisited Gulab last night for another amazing meal! We requested a booth which they immediate led us to. We ordered the "mildest" level of spice for all of our dishes--noodles appetizer and also the grilled shrimp, butter chicken, dhal mikhani, rice, butter naan. Every dish arrived fresh, delicious, and beautiful! ... with the exception of the "too spicy" noodles, which they immediately remade for us, ultra-mild version! Great service, lovely ambiance, superb dishes! Thank you, Gulab! read more

Our friends told us about this place so we thought we'd check it out. They did a great job renovating the space, they clearly put money into it. The staff was friendly, but need some extra training to make the service smoother. We decided to try the chicken tiki masala and the dal tadka, with plain rice and garlic naan. All the food items were delicious! The flavors were great and the garlic naan is dangerously good! We also decided to try the special cocktails... I ordered The Grasshopper and my husband tried the Gulab Old Fashioned. His drink was... different, but tasty. My drink on the other hand presented pretty, but was NOT good. With the ingredients listed, I was expecting a sugar rim, but NOPE! I took a sip and it was iodized salt on the rim! When I let our server know that I think they accidentally put salt instead of sugar, he said it was how they make it. Come for the food, skip the cocktails until they have more experience and get someone in there that understands making a good cocktail. We will be back for the great food, they definitely have a passion for that. read more

Easily and by far the best Indian food I have ever had. I came here with my family for dinner and we were all extremely impressed. The inside environment is very nice and feels fancy. The menu has extremely well labeled vegan options. The food is absolutely incredible. I had the mix veg, which I honestly wasn't expecting a lot from but I was completely blown away by how delicious it was. The rest of my family tried the lamb biryani, butter chicken, a seafood curry, noodles, and garlic naan, all of which I was told were fantastic. The only thing is that even if you request no spice the food is still a little bit spicy, so my little sister had some trouble with the food. At the end they bring out complimentary jaggery and fennelseed as a dessert. Highly highly recommend! read more

They lied to me about my refills, The Utensils were not clean at all it was clear that they were still filthy, we saw our server drop utensils and the manager or whoever kicks the fork inside with his nasty foot and puts it in the sink, DISGUSTING. I do not recommend at all, Food was pretty good, Water was very room temperature and not cold at all, they never gave us ice and when they did they filled up 2 glasses with crushed up ice to the brim. read more

Butter chicken, Aloo gobi, jasmine rice, veggie samosa, spicy chicken , with Gulab old fashioned and the wife had negroni.... everything was good I was wonderfully surprised with the Gulab old fashioned with Tamarind very good... still recommend this place if u have never tried Indian food read more

First visit here. Beautiful place inside and out. Looks very upscale. Booths everywhere. We were greeted and seated promptly. We ordered the Samosas as an appetizer, delicious! The entrees were butter chicken, chicken Vindaloo, with a side of rice and garlic naan. Everything was amazing! The price was not extravagant. I will definitely repeat read more

Ordered dinner here last night, got tandoor chicken, garlic naan, white rice, Chili chicken, and chicken curry. The interior of the restaurant was well done and it had a full service bar. However, the food was not to the mark. The white rice was way undercooked and not good for digestion. The chili chicken all you can taste was tomato ketchup. The chicken was not battered and deep fried it was more on the steamed side. The chicken curry was horrible. The chicken used in the curry seemed like was cooked already and dropped into a sauce and heated again. The chicken lacked any flavor. The garlic naan was the worst of want I had so far in my life. The Tandoor grill chicken was ok and had some flavor the marination was flavorful but the chicken didn't seem to be fresh . Bottom line will not visit this place again. read more

Gulab Indian Bistro - Green chili Nan - Indian Near Me - Clovis, California

We were welcomed and greeted upon entering. The ambiance is very elegant, clean, comfortable, and the music definitely adds a touch to the theme of the restaurant. The service was quick, but it helped that we had an idea of what we wanted to try. Our waiter's name is Davinder Singh. He was nice and attentive. We ordered veggie samosas, butter chicken (mild), fish pakora, plain naan, chicken tikka (gravy). Everything was very flavorful and fresh. The samosas had a good spicy kick to it. Loved the crispy on the outside and soft texture on the inside. Fish pakora were crispy and not over cooked. Naan was perfectly toasted. Butter chicken and chicken tikka tasted similar. The gravy was flavorful, but I probably would've gone up to medium on the spice level. They gave us some complimentary dessert and it was super sweet and warm. My only minor complaints would be their silverware, the length of your food coming out, and we had asked if rice came with our entree and the waiter said yes, but apparently it didn't because we were charged for it. Although, the silverware look nice, holding them were "slippery" at times or you couldn't really grip them to eat. As though they're rolling around in your hand. Be prepare to wait for your food as it does take some time. Party of 2 and our time there was about 1.5 hours. Most of the time was on waiting for our food. Overall the experience was good. read more

Saw this restaurant on TikTok and had to try it out. Indian food is my hubby and I's favorite food. We came here for our 17 year anniversary. Raman was our waitress and she was so kind and thoughtful. Our food was excellent. We ordered everything medium spice and the dishes that we ordered was plenty of food for two people. We had Chili Paneer, Butter chicken, Lamb Biryani, and Garlic naan. read more

Tandoori chicken, rice, veggie samosas side of spicy shrimp and Bullet naan ordered. The worker was kind, happy to give recommendations and said the order would be ready in 25 min. I went in to get it. OMG! A really beautiful, sparkly restaurant! Shock & awe! Especially when it looks nothing like that from the outside. Except the door gives you a clue! Great! Took a few minutes, but a worker came out, greeted and I checked in. It was almost ready. 10 minutes late, but oh well! I was in awe of the restaurant. Paid for the order and waited. Calm, nice Indian music playing. Great bar too! It took a while to be ready. I was told it would be ready at 11:40 and then I was told @ 11:56 it would be another 10 min. The workers were nice. Told it takes a while for oven to get heated since they just opened @11. Hope it's worth it.! The workers apologized, but it was a bit much waiting. Almost got my money back. It took a full hour before it was ready. FYI everyone! Given, finally, with more apologies. Lunchtime! Everything split with lots of leftovers! Another meal tomorrow! Tandoori chicken was really great! Lots of seasoning, tender with a nice spicy kick! Fresh & flavorful naan! Really great samosa with Delicious sauces too! Spicy shrimp was flavorful as well and great with the rice! Mother said her portion was "the bomb!" Really enjoyed it! Really, REALLY GREAT LUNCH! Worth the wait! Plus, lunch tomorrow too! They also gave Gulab Jamun, their sweet treats for the long wait time. Thank you! Highly recommended! read more

New restaurant that just opened in Clovis. Host/Waiter: Akashdeep Service was excellent. He continually stopped by to check in on us and fill our drinks. All the dishes were amazing. The fish pakora was delicious. We finished it before taking pictures. All the dishes we got hit the spot. Next, time I'll order it a bit spicier just because I like my food spicy. The only down side was that food came in really slow but once they came, everything was delicious. Would definitely return. read more

Growing up, I never tried Indian food and boy have I missed out. After receiving some recommendations to try out Gulab Indian Bistro, I knew I had to try it. As soon as I walked in, I was blown away. The restaurant was elegant from the ceiling tiles to the bathroom mirror. The waitress was unbelievably nice to me. Now for the food. I ordered the chicken tikka and garlic naan. I have never had such unbelievable flavors in my mouth. I'm truly heartbroken that this Iowa originated man hasn't gone out of his comfort zone way sooner to try out Indian food! I will definitely be back to Gulab Indian Bistro in the near future! read more

We tried Gulab for the first time, and we loved it! This restaurant is a true hidden gem - the interior is incredibly pretty, and the seating is super comfortable. Our server Raman was very helpful. All of our food was delicious and came out quickly. The mango lassi and blueberry sharbat were both great. If you can't handle your spice like us, be sure you order your food mild!! Although our group of three was splitting dishes, we ended up with leftovers to take home! The menu had too many good options to choose from, so we will have to come back to try something new next time! read more

One of the best restaurants in fresno ! The service, ambiance, and the food exceeded all expectations and i definitely will be coming back. For being open just a few months this restaurant has a great system down and I have zero complaints. Raman and Dev were very kind and more than helpful. The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. They are also very generous with sauces and reslly anything you need. I definitely recommend and I am sure they will be known as one of the best restaurants in fresno soon. PLUS: They even brought gulab jamun and mouth fresheners sfter our meal which i have never experienced before (and i have been to alot of indian restaurants) Vegetable pakora: i am a big pakora fan but this is by far THE best ive had. i never thought an appetizer would be my favorite of the night, but Gulab has by far outdone any pakora ive ever had ! Chicken Biryani: phenomenal, chicken was tender, seasoned very well and the rice was cooked to perfection (not overcooked, even though i prefer it a little overcooked haha) Butter chicken: again phenomenal. the flavor was great and memorable despite being a staple dish. we got medium spice and honestly couldve went a little hotter as they air on the side of caution with spice. Garlic naan: thin and soft, buttery to perfection read more
