Absolutely loved my experience at Clove Garden Indian Restaurant! I first tried their Shrimp Biryani (extra spicy) as takeout, and it was honestly the best shrimp biryani I’ve ever had from an Indian restaurant in New Jersey. The flavor, spice level, and quality were just perfect—I was truly impressed.
Because of that amazing biryani, we decided to visit again for their lunch buffet, and it did not disappoint. There was a wide variety of authentic Indian dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, all fresh and full of flavor. The masala dosa, garlic naan, and mango lassi included in the buffet were excellent highlights. All were delicious
Beautiful floral atmosphere
The food quality, taste, and excellent customer service made the experience even better. Reasonable price(affordable for anyone). Tummy full, heart full ❤️ Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.
Happy eating

We visited Clove Garden on Valentine’s Day for dinner and had a pleasant first experience. Located in the middle of a residential neighborhood on Ryders Lane, this relatively new restaurant (about six months old) offers a warm and inviting ambience—the ceiling decorated with bright, colorful flowers really adds a nice touch.
The food tasted good and the prices were reasonable, which makes it an appealing option for casual dining. Service could have been a bit better, but considering how busy the restaurant was for Valentine’s Day dinner, the staff seemed understandably overwhelmed while trying their best to keep up.
Overall, it was a nice dining experience, and I would recommend trying Clove Garden at least once, especially if you are looking for a cozy neighborhood Indian restaurant.

The Clove Garden in East Brunswick, NJ offers a mixed dining experience. Some dishes stand out more than others. The biryani was flavorful and well cooked, with good portion sizes and balanced spices. The potato fritters were also enjoyable, crispy on the outside and soft inside, making them a nice starter. However, not everything was equally strong. The mango lassi, for example, could use some improvement. It lacked the richness and freshness typically expected and felt a bit watered down compared to other places. Overall, The Clove Garden has potential and delivers well on certain classic dishes, but a bit more consistency across the menu would make the experience better.

Really, truly fantastic Indian food! The goan curry was so tender and flavourful, the eggplant bartha was delicious, and I will be dreaming about that garlic naan for a long time. The room is beautiful and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We stopped here by chance in the middle of a long road trip and now we’re trying to figure out when we’ll get the excuse to come back and eat here again!

We wanted to try a new Indian restaurant in the area and ordered Clove Garden delivery last night.. delicious!! We asked them to make everything mild so the kids could eat, and everything was perfect but still so flavorful. We especially love the malai chicken kabab, saag paneer and butter chicken. The chicken dosa was also really good! We even got free gulab jamun. We will definitely be back. So glad we tried it!
