Clove Indian Cuisine - Renton (WA)

5 /5 Nadia S: Tried Clove Indian Cuisine and honestly had a great experience. It’s a modern Indian restaurant with a nice vibe and plenty of seating, so it didn’t feel cramped even though it was pretty busy. We started with drinks and ordered the Cardamom Rose Martini and the Blood & Blanco. Both the cocktails were really unique. The cardamom one especially had this really nice balance of floral + spice. For appetizers, we got the Tandoori - Ajwaini Shrimp, and Chicken Malai Tikka. Everything came out hot and flavorful, but the standout for me was definitely the Ajwaini Shrimp - super unique flavor and something I’d absolutely recommend trying. Our server, Teja, suggested most of these dishes and he was genuinely friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu, which helped a lot. For mains, we shared the Zaika Shahi Paneer and the Latpata Chicken. Both leaned more toward a North Indian flavor profile, rich, creamy gravies with lots of depth. I didn’t get to try any dessert this time. If you’re in the area and want good Indian food that stays true to classic flavors but also has a modern twist in some dishes, this place is definitely worth checking out.

5 /5 Devi Sawhney: Francis is specially amazing! The food and service here are great. Whenever we visit, we are greeted by the most cheerful Francis and he’s the reason we keep returning! He’s celebrated our bdays and makes any visit special. Along with delicious food of course. Definitely try the Amritsari Fish Pakora appetizer, butter paneer and soya chap!

5 /5 Josh Blum: I haven’t been to many Indian restaurants, but I have been to many restaurants in general and the service here is truly exceptional, from the moment we sat down, there was always someone available whenever we needed help. The attentiveness without being intrusive really stood out. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything from the balance of the spices to the flavor and presentation was spot on. You can tell real care goes into the cooking. The ambiance and atmosphere were warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. A special shout-out to Francisco, who took great care of us super friendly, helpful, and thoughtful. He made sure we had everything we needed and even offered bags for all our leftovers to take home, which was really appreciated. Overall, this was one of my better restaurant experiences in King County. Highly recommended I’ll definitely be coming back.

5 /5 Christopher: We had such a great experience at Clove. The service was super nice and welcoming even though it was really busy. The place looks modern and stylish but still feels true to Indian flavors, which we really liked. The food was amazing. The paneer curry was rich and flavorful, the pani puri was so good, and the mango lassi was one of the best we have had. We also loved the paneer quesadilla, which was a fun twist but still tasted authentic. Overall, everything from the food to the atmosphere was great. We will definitely be back.

4 /5 Muhammad Ahmad: Veg options were awesome. Non-veg options were ok. Lamb chops was decent. Chicken Biryani was not up to par. Our waiter was really nice! Overall, good additional to the Seattle desi food scene. Its also open late, so thats an added bonus.
