    Some metal piece

    So we got take out Paneer tikka masala and we found some sharp metal piece inside, I am attaching pictures also

    Planner tikka masala ($20)  Chicken saag ($19)
    K Q.

    The ambience is nice. A great spot for a night out if ambiance is the goal. But if the goal is high-quality Indian food, Fresno/Clovis has better options. The food looked nice but the taste was average with above average prices. Chicken saag was okay at best and cost significantly more than it's worth at $19 (with no rice). The paneer tikka masala was better but was lacking on paneer. At $20 (without rice) it was nearly double the cost of what you could get else where. Rice is included at most Indian restaurants. Here they charge $3. It's not much but it's typically included as a basic necessity. You don't eat most of the dishes here without rice, unless you're paying extra for naan. Naan was okay priced but thin and on the smaller side. At $9 for just three veggie samosas, you'd have better luck stopping by any one of the Indian markets in the area and buying samosas that are larger and priced better. Chutney was good but it was funny how much they gave considering the three small samosas. The one "winner" of the night was the tikki chaat. It was the only thing that was priced well at $13 and delicious. Customer service was severely lacking. The hostess said one thing as we entered, but so softly that I just assumed it was "how many". Walking us to our table and setting the menus down, they said nothing even after I said thank you. I made a point to smile and say thank you when they brought waters but they did so without any response. Again when they brought the plates. When the food came, they put the food down and said what it was but no response to a thank you again. This was near noon on a weekday, with the place nearly empty. I believe only three other small groups there. If they are going for the upscale vibe to justify the high prices then at minimum they need significantly better customer service. A good place for a date if you don't care about the quality of the food prices. But if you want better food at a better price, there are plenty of other options in the area.

    We're back again at our favorite Indian authentic cuisine in Clovis. This restaurant has become one of our favorite restaurants in Town. Excellent service and professional staff. Delicious food as always. Lovely ambiance with Romantic Indian music. We enjoyed everything they had to offer each time we visit them. We highly recommend this place!!!

    It's so pretty in here

    I haven't been to a bad Indian restaurant since I've been eating at them! And this one didn't fail me! We got greeted and our table as soon as We walked in. It is so pretty in here! This is the best decor I've seen in an Indian restaurant. Our order got taken, it didn't take long at all. Mannnn! If y'all haven't tried Indian food it has so much flavor! Everything was so good! And all that we got was only $42.00 it was enough to fees 3 people. We also got basmati rice! When I return, I will return!

    LAMB SAMOSA
    Rudy D.

    Been awhile since we've been here. Food is always good here. Service not so much. Our server Karan was very quiet. Had to ask to order. Food was delivered rather quick, only to find it wasn't ours. Lamb Samosas were good, but normally we get sauces. Chicken Biryani was equally good as well as naan. In the past, we would finish the meal with both a sweet and spice component. Not today. Perhaps they don't do this anymore? Place is very beautiful and they give a 15% military discount.

    Food is great 8/10. Service can be slow and the servers seem to spend more time talking amongst themselves at one of the tables than anything else. But seriously, the food is good.

    BUTTER CHICKEN
    iAwe Y.

    This is actually my first 1-star review but unfortunately the experience at Gulab Indian Biristo left me no choice. We called ahead and were told the latest dine-in time was 9:00 PM. We arrived at 8:55 PM and were initially told we couldn't dine in because the kitchen closes at 9:20 PM. After explaining we had called, they let us sit, but gave us only 10 minutes to order. It felt rushed and unwelcoming from the start. The food was alright. The butter chicken was creamy and flavorful, and the lamb biryani tasted good but had mostly rice and not much meat. Garlic naan was good. Portions were fine. Price vs quality was average. Service was the real issue. We changed our order from 2 rice to 1, received 1 rice, but were charged for 2. I also had a $10 discount approved, but the check showed only $8 off. They corrected it after I pointed it out, but there was no apology. The most uncomfortable part was being pressured at our table to leave a Google review and include the staff member's name. It felt awkward and unprofessional. Overall, the food being "alright" couldn't make up for the poor service, billing mistakes, and pressure for reviews. I won't be returning. **also they have canned soda only apparently, and charge $3 and no refills**

    A highly recommended restaurant from my peers. Just so happened a invite was extended to us by a fellow Yelp Elite so my wife and took the opportunity to see for ourselves what the hype was all about with this place. Service: Our group made a reservation for a party 8. We were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our server "Barleen" (sorry if I mispelled your name) was very accomodating and very welcoming of us as new guests. She gave us recommendations when asked. 5 of 5 stars Food/Offering: As a group, we ordered two orders or rice, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, veggie samosas, a few other vegeterian dishes (which I didn't quite get the names), a biryani dish (forgot the meat choice), channa masala, goat and a cauliflower concoction. In addition, we ordered veggie naan. We were also provided additional naan on the house, a toasty bread topped with condenseand and sweet sugar candy. The dishes were very flavorful! The goat however was a little on the tougher side, almost jerkyish. I also tried for the first time a Taj Mahal beer (lager) which was very good. 5 of 5. Overall: A bit on the pricier side than others but I don't mind paying a little more for good food and a good experience. It was nice to dine with my fellow Yelp Elites. I swear people were just looking at us with our cell phones snapping pictures left and right =) Also, this place caters a lot to the indian community of Fresno/Clovis especially to those that work in the medical field so I guess the trust is there that this place is good. I will most definitely come back when the craving is there.

    I was told to try them out by a few people. They have a seating bar section and regular sitting. The lights are very dimmed, dark room. We did wait quite some time to get our order taken. We ordered the butter chicken, samosas, balsamic rice, and garlic naan. We were brought waters and I asked for a drink menu. We enjoyed our food and were content with the portions. The butter chicken was good not as strong flavor as others I've tried, which is good to me. We want to come back and try more dishes.

    The inside is beautifully decorated. They have turquoise seats with gold embroidered designs. A nice bar area and the place is very big inside. The service was a little slow but the food made up for it. We got garlic naan, samosas, and the shrimp tikka tandoori. The naan was perfectly cooked. The samosas were nice and crispy on the outside while the potatoes were still soft. My shrimp dish was light and very flavorful. The vegetables were all crisp and fresh. The shrimp was marinated well and cooked to perfection. It did have a little spice to it but the rice kind of helped with the heat. My drink I believe was called the grasshopper. It was a little sweet for me but still good. A great first time experience here and won't be my last.

    The dessert
    Angie R.

    On 6/13/25 I came here with several of my Yelp peeps as a yelper we love trying new places. Upon entering it was like walking into a high class restaurant. I was greeted immediately by the host. He pointed out where my group was seated. The staff was absolutely phenomenal! We had garlic, naan and veggie samosas, which both dishes were absolutely delicious. I ended up ordering the Gulab twist it was 9/10! It was like a twist on a gin and tonic, but Indian style. I highly recommend if you like gin and tonics. We decide to order family style to try out various dishes as this was our first time dining here and definitely not my last. Staff definitely made us for welcome. The atmosphere was great. It was very lovely. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered butter, chicken, I believe chicken masala , Saag which is a spinach dish absolutely delicious, the chickpea dish was yummy as well and the cauliflower and potato dish was my number one favorite of the night. The others ordered curry, goat, and other meat dishes, which I really didn't sample since I'm a vegetarian, but I did taste a little bit of the broth and it was delicious. The staff let us try various dessert items which the hospitality was absolutely amazing . I cannot wait to come back to Gulab Indian bistro. It will definitely be on my rotation to dine out. Overall, it was a lot of fun to sample various dishes, meet the staff and share a loving meal with my Yelp peeps . Thank you, Gulab. Indian bistro for the lovely night. Cannot wait to come back!

    First off the place is beautiful. We walked in and it was pretty empty . Just a couple tables taken. Took a few minutes for them to clear a table for us. I was excited to try their food because of all the great reviews. We ordered a few items to share. I really wanted to love this place but the food was mediocre and not seasoned enough. We ordered medium spice but it wasn't hot at all. I'm only giving 3 stars because there is always room for a better experience.

    Sheldon R.

    Definitely recommend this place! This place feels higher end with affordable prices. Our server Jap took really good care of us. He forgot to include a drink in our order and told us it's on the house. He also gave us a dessert on the house. The food portions looked small but it was a good amount. The ambiance is amazing with excellent music. It' gives cool bar vibes. First bite of garlic naan bread with tamarind sauce made me love this place immediately. Garlic naan bread: 5/5 Baingan bharta (eggplant): 4/5 Palak paneer: 4/5 Butter chicken: 4/5 Veggie samosa: 5/5 Rice: 5/5

    The Local has a ton of potential. My family and I were excited to try a new restaurant in Clovis ,…read moreand ran across positive reviews of this place. We headed in at an odd time yesterday around 230pm. It was late for lunch and too early for dinner. Nevertheless, we were seated in the front dining area, and ordered some entrees. The menu offers a lot of familiar favorites that you would expect to see at a a bar/ restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few specialty plates. For my meal, I ordered The Local burger (no pickles of course) which was absolutely fantastic. Piled high with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - this burger was executed to perfection. I ordered it medium, and it came out medium (imagine that). The best part was the sunny side egg that was placed on top. That first bite was heavenly. The yolk breaks, and all the goodness adds a little extra flavor to the already delicious burger. The shoe string fries were seasoned perfectly- I highly recommend this entree. The only thing I would add next time is an element of spice to take things up to another level. My wife ordered the BLTA sandwich , with sweet potato fries. I didn't try a bite because I had enough bacon on my burger , but I did sneak a sweet potato fry , and it was fantastic. My son order the chimichurri steak , he seemed to enjoy it although it may have had too much sauce on it for his liking. Perhaps it would been better if he ordered the sauce on the side. My picky daughter ordered the pesto chicken sandwich ,and she said it was pretty good. My family and I were full , but weren't going to let the dessert options pass us by. My family has a sweet tooth. We all shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding . Both are nice options if you need something sweet to top off your meal. The food and vibe of this place deserves 5 stars. I will deduct one star for the mediocre service and inconsistent food prep. Our meals were coming out one by one which made it awkward when trying to eat together. Our server didn't offer refills on our drinks , and didn't bring us utensils -until we asked for them. I will be back to try more menu items , and enjoy a cold beer while watching the game.

The Local gets the job done if you need a quick bite during the work day. I tried the BBQ Bleu Burger, which comes loaded with bleu cheese crumbles, BBQ sauce, bacon jam, fried onions, and the usual burger fixings. The burger itself was generously sized, but the patty was underseasoned, and the dominant flavors were mainly the bleu cheese and BBQ sauce. My wife ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and felt it lacked flavor. Our kids split the mac & cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich, but neither was a hit. Even the grilled cheese went mostly untouched, by my kids which was unexpected. On the plus side, the outdoor patio is cozy and looks like a great spot for fall dining with a drink in hand. They also offer brunch, though it's available by reservation only.
