Cloves Indian Cafe - Lafayette

Amazing Indian food in the city, finally! I tried several things from the menu. my absolute favorite was the butter chicken. it was served with biriyani, which was also delicious. the butter distributor is very tasteful with the perfect amount of flavor. the tacos are more like flattened burritos that are grilled, but they are so tasteful. I personally enjoyed the vegetable taco more than the chicken taco, but the huh was still delicious. I also had the sweetssamosa and the chickenssamosa and enjoyed the veggie again. the naan was perfectly cooked and the minze chutney was good on everything. also the rice came with a yoghurt and gurken dipping sauce on the side, which really added some cool refreshing aromas to balance the spicy butter and butter glazing. Finally, the chai is a perfect end of the meal. the owner was very nice and so the other guy worked the counter. we had a wonderful experience and will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Authentic, simple and very tasteful! the caffe area was clean and the service was friendly. parking can be difficult, but this is the inner city of lafayette. that will not prevent me from going back.

Absolutely delicious Indian fare at very reasonable prices. All their dishes are perfectly decorated! Get the combo #4 and try all daily deals for just $9.95. A stop here and you'll be hooked.

The lunch combos are biiiig and very good. The spice level is somewhat lacking, but the flavors were solid. I asked about if they also had dinner service, which they do, but the menu is the same. I think that a separate and more extensive dinner menu would draw a better date night crowd. I will definitely be going back for lunch in the very near future!

The owners are very friendly and the food is satisfying. Tastes good and it doesn't feel like too much. The current layout results in an awkward environment; it's very empty and quiet, playing music might not help as there is an echo. The plate lunch format is nice, but it's the same options for every day.
