I don't know what food other people were served but I clearly didn't receive the same food because…read morethis was not it! The chicken tikka masala was honestly terrible. The sauce was either broken or not cooked long enough because it was separated and watery and runny and the chicken itself was dry and could have been from the prior day. My order was also missing the rice, salad, chickpeas and yogurt that the menu clearly stated all entrees are served with...maybe that was a blessing though given how unappetizing the entree was. The naan breads were what "saved" this review although they were not hitting hitting ... they were about 3 stars. Definitely won't be ordering from or dining here again.

Exterior and Interior: Very fun interior and has some authentic vibes that people will like. Food Breakdown: * Falooda (4.5/5): Man oh man they make the best Falooda here. The only thing is that the presentation was not great cause it was overflowing and they didn't bother to clean it finally I wish they gave us more cause the cup is pretty small ngl. But taste-wise is solid and always down to get some if I am in the area. * Mirchi Fries (4/5): I loved the cut of the fries as I don't like thick fries and the Mirchi was solid compared to other places. And way better than the fast-food fries but if you love Mcdonald's Fries this is the way it should be. * Mango Lassi: (1/5) PLEASEEEEE do not get this, it is not good at all. There are better options to get and this one is not it. Portion Size: Good for the most part not. bad but I wish Falooda was a little more in the cup sadly. Price: Good! Very happy with the price I paid for my food. Service/Food Delivery: The cashier was honestly not good, no passion minimal effort to serve but hey he could be having an off day. Would I go Back: Yup, but ONLY FOR FAlOODA AND FRIES cause it was that good! Ankush's Final Thoughts: So I would come back but for me, I would only come for the dessert cause the food itself is ok. But I know my friend who went here liked the food for what it is. But one thing we can agree upon is NO LASSI PLEASE. Oh, and they have no WIFI for guests which is wack.

After a long day driving through 5 states, my daughter and I stopped here for dinner. We ordered a…read moremix of a couple of things we were familiar with (Channa Masala Bowl with rice, Pakoras), one thing that looked similar to things we'd had before (Zeera Aloo Roll), and one thing that was totally new to us (Dahi Baray). After ordering, we chose a table and sat down to wait for our food. We noticed that the table was sticky, but after checking several other tables we realized that they were all sticky - they didn't seem *dirty*, just sticky. The Zeera Aloo Roll and Channa Masala bowl came up first. The roll was ok - mostly just roti and very drippy sauce with a few potatoes. I enjoyed the flavor, just wished there was more filling. The Chana Masala was fine -- a bit bland and the bowl was 90% rice, but it was edible. When the Pakoras came out, it was mostly just onions and a couple of potato sticks. Not much flavor there either - I couldn't even really taste the onions, it all just tasted like oil. It did come with a small cup of raita, and that was good. We had no idea what to expect from the Dahi Baray since we'd never heard of it before -- it turned out to be a few little mushy balls of dough about the size of cherries, in a huge bowl of tangy yogurt sauce that was a little bit sweeter than the raita. I liked the sauce - I mixed some with the rice from the chana masala - but neither of us liked the dumplings at all. When we were done, I stopped in the restroom before we hit the road again. I found a fairly large, very dimly lit bathroom with a very wet floor, and while I was washing my hands the dim light went out all together leaving me in total darkness. When I emerged I grabbed some napkins to dry my hands, and my daughter decided that she would wait and use the restroom at thenearby gas station before we hit the road again. Overall not the worst dining experience I've had, but we won't be back.

Six of us went to Clove Restaurant in Sterling for dinner around 8 PM. The restaurant was…read morecompletely empty, which was already concerning. Sadly, we soon found out why. We ordered biryani, karahi chicken, chicken corn soup, and a few other dishes. The food was terrible. The chicken was cold, dry, and tasted like it had been reheated or left over. The chicken corn soup was especially bad, with a strong unpleasant chicken smell that made it hard to eat. It was very embarrassing because we had guests with us. We spent nearly $200, and the quality of the food was unacceptable. A refund would honestly be more appropriate than charging full price for food like this. The restaurant's website looks flashy with nice pictures, but the actual food does not match at all. Even the service felt unprofessional--the waiter did not appear properly dressed. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please avoid it if you can. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but this experience deserves honesty.
