This is the best Indo Chinese I’ve had in the Chicagoland area – highly recommend the chowmein, chicken lollipops, dry chili chicken (and can’t wait to return to try other things, especially the momos and chili potatoes).

The service and space is excellent, we were able to get seating quickly and the food came out soon as well, so we didn’t have to wait long at all.

They accidentally put in some extra items in our order but didn’t charge us for it but were gracious and generous enough to still pack it for us (bonus points for the nice gesture).

Will definitely be returning.

The Clove Indian and Nepali Cuisine is honestly incredible. We came on a Friday night for a collaboration and I was blown away by how good everything was. The food is truly delicious and full of flavor. We ordered a bunch of vegetarian dishes and every single one hit.

The Schezwan Eggplant was unreal and one of my top favorites. The Paneer Tikka Masala was so creamy and seasoned perfectly. Both soups were amazing especially the Hot and Sour Soup. The Veg Biryani was super flavorful and the garlic naan and lacchha paratha were so soft and fresh. The rasmalai tiramisu dessert was insane and such a perfect sweet ending.

The vibes here are great. They had karaoke going on when we visited and the energy made the whole night even more fun. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and they check on you often which I really appreciate. You can tell they care about the experience and the customers.

Overall this is definitely one of my new favorite Indian spots in the area and I already know I am coming back soon. If you love Indian or Indo Chinese food you need to try this place. So so good.

I had an incredible experience at The Clove Indian & Nepali Cuisine in Glenview. This restaurant quickly became one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in the Chicago North Shore area.

The food is outstanding — a perfect blend with dishes that are vibrant, beautifully presented, and full of depth and spice. Every single plate tasted intentional and crafted with care.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-friendly. You can feel how much pride the staff takes in what they do. The service stood out the most: thoughtful, personal, and truly above and beyond.

They also offer a great weekday happy hour and some really fun holiday dining experiences that bring people together.

From the moment we walked in, everything just felt right — the flavors, the hospitality, the energy. It’s more than a meal here; it’s an experience.

If you haven’t tried The Clove yet, this is your sign to go. I can’t wait to go back.

This place is highly recommended. They have dumplings called Kathmandu momo which is highly recommended (Nepali national food). They have a soup that looks like Pho soup which I also enjoyed. Samosa chat is also one of the appetizer with samosa on the tasty chutney sauce. Lamb boti and chicken tikka kebab were very tender and flavorful, marinated in spices for a long time. We also enjoyed their version of tiramisu, you should try it and be surprised. The owner and the staff were very friendly and attentive. #supportlocalbusiness

Went there on New Years Eve for a buffet dinner and live entertainment. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. The ambiance and vibe was quite nice and felt right between takeout and fine dining. While the restaurant is located on a strip, it still felt like a quality restaurant.

The food was delicious and everything was well made: The service was impeccable and we had many different people come over to assist and serve us drinks and more despite the self service buffet.

My brother was a bit disappointed by the lack of options in the buffet and the owner regarded his concerns and was kind enough to offer a slight discount. Unfortunately some of the options the owner had said would be available over the phone were not available which was slightly disappointing but we still had a good time.

Would highly recommend this restaurant and I would return here to give it another shot.

Really enjoyed my visit to The Clove Indian and Nepali restaurant! It’s a lovely place to take someone out — the vibe and atmosphere are warm and inviting. I tried the tandoori veggies and they were excellent, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For the main course, I ordered Paneer and garlic naan, and noodles and fried rice. The Paneer could have been a bit more spicy but over all everything was delicious. Overall, a great dining experience with good food and a nice ambiance. Would definitely come back!

My friends and I finally got a chance to dine in. The owner, Ankar greeted us with a big smile, and told us it’s ladies night on Wednesday’s. Who doesn’t enjoy half off on drinks. Ismita did a great job waiting on us. She was kind, and sweet. We decided to try their margaritas, because they looked so yummy. I tried the Mango Margarita, and pleasantly surprised how tasty it was. Our second round of drinks, we were served with skinny Margaritas, and man were they good, and strong. For appetizers we decided on the dumplings, and palak paneer. Both were very good. The side sauce for the dumplings was amazing. For dinner, we ordered the Chicken Vindaloo which was spectacular, the chicken Madras curry which was also very good with lots of flavor. I’ve got to say, my fav was the Vindaloo. Tandoori Afghani kabobs were delicious, Chicken Tikka Kabobs were also a favorite. The chicken Biryani was outstanding. Don’t forget to order the garlic Naan, they are a must try. The restaurant is very pretty, and clean. The owner told us they have a belly dancer Thursday nights. Can’t wait to be back for some entertainment, and great food. I had to update my review because I had take out the first time. Definitely give this place a try if you love Indian food, as much as I do. Thanks for the service

My first time here, and unfortunately it was for take out. I would have loved to dine in, because the restaurant was really pretty. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice quant bar to the left. I def look forward to dining in very soon. I did order chicken tikka masala, which was accompanied by white rice. Very tasty, and spicy as I requested. Can’t wait to try more

We recently visited this new restaurant and were quite disappointed with the experience. Most of the food lacked flavor — it seemed like there was barely any salt in anything we ordered. The laccha paratha was hard, and both soups we tried were bland.

For the main course, we ordered garlic naan, chili cheese naan, laccha paratha, dal makhani, and paneer tikka masala — again, the food was underseasoned and didn’t taste fresh.

We went around 7:45 PM, and the restaurant was nearly empty. The service was very slow, and the person serving us was not helpful. For example, when we asked for onions, it took a very long time. They brought food to the table but didn’t provide large plates for sharing.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. It’s also quite pricey compared to other Indian restaurants with much better quality and service.

The food here is very good Indian cuisine, with a nice atmosphere and pretty good service. If you want the lunch specials or any offers like happy hour pricing or the 15% discount they mentioned, you’ll need to ask for them — they were not offered automatically. The main waiter is very nice and helpful, especially when I had questions about dishes I wasn’t familiar with, and his recommendations were excellent. I’ve been here twice, tried several different appetizers and main courses, and will definitely be back. The Clove is one of the best restaurants in and around Glenview. Four stars only because there are no five-star restaurants in Glenview.

Update 1/7/26: I dropped my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars based on my lunch visit today. Once again, I had to request the Lunch Special menu, as it has never been offered without asking. I ordered the Buttered Chicken with Daal Tadka, which came with a samosa, rice, and naan. The samosa was very old and overcooked. I could barely break through it with my teeth and did not eat it. The naan was stale and not warm, and I did not eat that either. The rice was unexceptional but acceptable, as was the Daal Tadka. The Buttered Chicken was pretty good. All in all, I have no plans to return at this time.

Outstanding Dining Experience!

From the moment My Wife and I walked in, we were impressed by the warm ambiance and attentive staff, Karim. Every detail—from the presentation to the flavors—was executed flawlessly.

We started with the Chicken Momo’s, Afghani Chicken Kebabs with mint chutney, Chicken Lollipop, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and rich on the inside. The main course, Lamb Shank with Llaccha Paratha, Roasted Garlic Fried Rice and Chicken Manchurian, everything was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. And don’t skip dessert—the Rasmalai Tiramisu was one of the best We’ve ever had.

Karim was our server along with Nate. Service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and made excellent recommendations.

We had the pleasure of meeting Executive Chef Kuldeep, the visionary behind the exquisite Indo-Nepalese delicacies.

This restaurant truly exceeded expectations. Whether it’s a special occasion or a casual night out, it’s worth every penny. Can’t wait to return!
