Not the most amazing Indian food I've tasted, but overall fairly tasty. I prefer South Indian offerings, but... Had a lamb thali and my wife had a veg thali. Only two dishes on the thali plate, where I would normally expect a couple more. The vegetable salad was a definite weak point, as it was just a few scraps of inexplicably blanched peppers and cucumber. Ample servings of the mains though. Price point was a little higher than I would have thought for a lunch special.

It's a cozy place for an affordable pre-theater meal.

I definitely know my way around an Indian restaurant and I can say without any doubt this one is a…read moregreat find! I have visited multiple Indian restaurants but this one was different. A huge shout-out to the founders of the restaurant. Their vision and attention to detail are evident in every corner of the restaurant, from the impeccable service to the unique decor. It was an impressive experience across the board! Everything was perfectly curated I really don't have the vocabulary to articulate. What truly distinguishes Bombay Kitchen and Bar is the seamless combination of exceptional hospitality and remarkable cuisine. Every dish was a work of art, prepared with meticulous care and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients and the execution of the flavours were truly top-tier. We started off with the Mixed Grill platter...and my mouth just watered watching my video back of it. The paneer was unbelievably soft -- probably the softest I've ever had in my life. It was fresh, melt-in-your-mouth delicious -- you almost don't want to bite it because it just glides down so smoothly. And the Amritsari Fish Pakora. Tell me anyone wouldn't just devour this in seconds. And the Chicken Tikka is always a good move! And Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan? Nothing can beat this combo! I just can't get enough of it. And they served me up a mocktail (Rimjhim) that was straight out of a summer dream! After moving to Canada, one of the founders, Navish noticed that much of the Indian food available had been heavily westernized. But Navish wanted to create a restaurant that stayed true to the bold flavours that define Punjabi cuisine so at Bombay Kitchen and Bar you are tasting authenticity in every bite because every dish is rooted in tradition. The legacy is brought to the table! I'm not kidding when I say they cook from the heart and soul! The menu stays true to its roots. Every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavour and prepared to perfection. One of the best places to experience the true essence of Punjab. What sets them apart is the authentic Punjabi flavour, giving you a true taste of Punjab. You can tell they don't compromise on quality here. So this isn't just an Indian restaurant; it's a heartfelt tribute to tradition, flavour, and the timeless comfort of a truly satisfying meal. You can tell the kitchen team takes great pride in their work because the flavours were spot-on. Beyond the dishes, what really stood out was the hospitality: warm, thoughtful, and full of heart. The service was as impeccable as the food. My server Aman went above and beyond, guiding me through the menu and ensuring I felt right at home. This restaurant nails it on all fronts--great atmosphere, delicious food, and the incredible service from a friendly staff. It's clear that a lot of effort goes into creating such a memorable guest experience. The restaurant itself is stunning; equally perfect for a laid-back lunch or a polished dinner, but it's the food that truly steals the spotlight. The cleanliness, presentation, and overall vibe reflect true 5-star quality. But what makes the experience even better are the owners themselves. They're not just the owners/founders; they're the heart behind the food. You can feel how much pride, care, and love they put into every single dish, and it makes everything taste that much better. There's nothing better than knowing your meal was made by someone who truly loves what they do.

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!

Good food except we kind of got scammed…read more I went with a group of 5 and we all did the "Let us cook for you" option for $120/pp with auto gratuity of 20%. Not a cheap meal. The food was good and each main came with its own naan or rice. It was a lot of naan/rice so towards the end there were left overs of 3 mains with 3 baskets of naan (different flavors) and 2 bowls of rice. We were all quite full. I asked how many dishes were left and she said 1 fried rice and prawn dish followed by dessert. She asked if we wanted this last dish packed to go or if she should still serve it. We asked her to serve it so we can still try it together. We were later told our reservation time was ending and we had to start finishing up so all the food was packed up for us and we were given our dessert. After we left we realized the fried rice and prawn dish that was never served (because of time) was never given to us to go. Not sure if it was intentional or mistaken but considering there was a conversation about it seemed odd. Also once the food was packed we didn't leave quickly as we still had our dessert to eat then pay, and we later stayed outside the restaurant to chat for a few minutes. I doubt dishes are mistakenly left behind at the kitchen but if so there would have been plenty of time to discover the mishap. I understand the 20% gratuity and it is clearly stated but for sharing so many dishes, we had to ask for our dirty dishes to be changed towards the end of the mains. Each dish has curry/sauce, oils and strong flavors and it just continued to stay on the plate since the first dish. I'm pretty sure if we didn't ask for new plates they never would have been changed. High dining places change the plates after every dish. I can understand if it was only after the saucy dishes but that was every dish here. Besides these points, the restaurant was very capable to cater to the different dietary restrictions of our table. The server was attentive with our water.

The ambiance of their restaurant is gorgeous - very minimalistic and chic. The service was 5/5! The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable, everyone took their time to explain the dishes to us. They said for a party of two, they would recommend 2 appies and 2 mains which was perfect! Here's what I tried - :: Chili cheese garlic naan - it was not like your typical cheese garlic naan, it looked more like a cheesy pizza with Indian flavours. I loved how they showcased it! It came with a puree which tasted like chutney and was pretty good. :: Bombay vada usal - LOVED the presentation of this! The flavours were spot on but the spice level was missing. :: Mangalorean chicken - it came with a crispy roti on top that they recommend you crush into the plate for an added crisp. Such a great idea! The flavour profile and presentation was spot on! :: Malvani prawn pulao - so apparently this dish was something the chef's mom use to make for him and i could definitely taste the authenticity of it in the flavours - tasted like a home cooked meal :: paneer nettle saag - the paneer was sooo fresh and soft!! Big fan Dessert - It was a milk cake dessert which had their take on pooran podi which is a traditional marathi dessert. This was the highlight of the night for us! I would definitely come back for it!!

Creamy chicken with that subtle hit of mustard paste; as a Bengali, this was everything. The Handi Chicken was also incredible, super juicy and tender, with the right amount of spice and that lovely coriander seed flavor. I was really excited about the Roomali Roti. It was good, but not quite as thin as the ones you get on the streets. Maybe tossing it up in the air like they do back home is the secret! I tried their cocktail called FML, which was a really nice desi twist on an Old Fashioned; perfect for a cold, rainy day. My husband had the Jaljeera, which was super refreshing and brought back so many memories. Service was friendly but quite slow. They apologized a bunch of times and even gave us a complimentary fruit custard, which was such a nice touch. It was creamy and just the right amount of sweet. Overall, the food was absolutely worth the wait. We'll definitely be back to try their Galouti Kebab and Falooda next time, and hopefully with a less wait time for food!
