Our friendly host, Mr Shah, who we assumed was also the owner, provided excellent service and ensured that our dining experience ran smoothly. Although he requested that we use our vouchers on a weeknight, claiming to be fully booked on weekends, the restaurant was actually empty when we arrived. It remained so for the first hour until a few other diners arrived. This lack of other guests made the atmosphere slightly cold and uninviting, as the décor was modern with tiled floors and minimal warmth.
Despite the lack of ambiance, the service was quick and efficient, benefiting from Mr Shah's undivided attention. The restaurant also had ample parking nearby, which is rare in the congested beac...
The service was polite and helpful, with tables set up nicely and no one was ignored. I would rate the service 4/5.
The entrees were a bit boring and bland, but the mint and mango chutneys helped improve them slightly. I would give the entrees a 2/5.
The mains were much better, with flavorful and rich sauces that paired well with the delicious cheese naan. I mistakenly ordered the dishes with moderate spice, but the meats and sauce were marinated thoroughly with spice. The waiters offered yogurt to ease the burn. Overall, I would rate the curries a 4/5.
The mango lassi was a 4/5, the second best I've ever tasted.
We used a voucher which made everything about half the price. Without the v...
We hadn't booked but walked into The Clove on a whim. There was nobody in there (for a Saturday night), which was surprising. However, the food was delicious, filling and not over priced. Also, as we were the only ones there, the service was excellent. I actually felt sorry for the staff that nobody was there because the food is really good, the location is perfect (away from noisy Coogee Pavilion), its BYO, AND you can hear yourself talk! I urge anyone who likes Indian food to try it and please fill up their restaurant on a Saturday night! (PS: My recommendation the Pistachio Chicken)
Finally found a great curry house! Have been searching for a good curry since I arrived from the UK at the start of the year.<br/ <br/ If you are not in a rush, this place hits the mark. Exceptionally tasty curry and side dishes: beef banaroshi (ask for it hot) was delicious with thick sauce and lasting warmth; lamb balti: tender and tasty; prawn mughlai: has a great kick but we didn't leave a single bite.<br/ <br/ Highly recommended

I'm a big fan...used to frequent the Surry Hills one. Been a few times to Coogee. Not a fan of the fish dishes but everything else is great. Try the malai kofta !<br/ <br/ edit 2016 : Had home take away last week....I was concerned that the quality may have slipped as I notice they are doing shop-a-docket deals ...but thoroughly enjoyed all our curries last night. Still great !
The food and service at this restaurant are fantastic. It is definitely my top choice for Indian cuisine in Sydney. The butter chicken is exceptional! The prices are reasonable and the staff are very friendly.
Absolutely fantastic food and service! Large portions, wonderful flavours! Friendly staff! Great ambiance and location. Highly recommend, Very happy, we will definitely be back!

Ordered for delivery through UberEATS. Chicken tikka masala was pretty good. Not the best, but fine for delivery. An order of cheese naan is one piece very cheesy but good.
Good Indian food. Not much more to say really. I can't be bothered writing 140 characters . Enough said. ...................................
