Excellent food, service, and hookah!
Clove Restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy delicious, flavorful food in a welcoming atmosphere. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety, and you can really taste the quality in each bite.
In addition to the food, the hookah experience was excellent—smooth, flavorful, and well-prepared, making it a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. Service was prompt, and the overall experience felt warm and professional.
If you’re looking for a restaurant with amazing food, great hookah, excellent service, and a pleasant ambiance, Clove is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!

We live super close to Clove which is why we try and give a chance to Clove again and again. Only to be disappointed 😞
I would say the best fish I have had in VA so far was at Clove. That's all I can think I have had from clove that didn't disappoint.
The gajar halwa and kheer is not good at all! I ordered Kashmir Chai Chai which was okay, not bad but not great either.
If anyone has tried good things at Clove please feel free to suggest. I have just been very sad with my experience.

We recently hosted an event at Clove Restaurant, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The management Adeel And Shahzaib were incredibly organized, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. The staff was just as wonderful helpful, attentive, and always ready to assist with anything we needed.
The food was absolutely delicious. We selected dishes from the Afghan menu and paired them with Pakistani appetizers, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Our guests kept complimenting the food all night!
Overall, Clove Restaurant exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for anyone planning an event or simply looking for great food and exceptional service. Will definitely be returning!

I’m leaving this review a year later after noticing the number of fake-looking positive reviews for this place. I’ve been here a few times with a group, and each visit came with service issues. The only reason I returned was because it’s very close to my home and it stays open late to accommodate any sudden dine out plans near home with friends. Even though the restaurant was never fully busy when we dined in, the service was consistently disappointing and specifically disrespectful in last visit.
During my most recent visit last year, we were the only group in the entire restaurant (with just one other table occupied), yet the servers completely ignored a simple special request. They could have easily said yes or no, but instead chose not to respond at all.
We had gone with visiting family, and it happened to be their child’s birthday. Around 8 PM, we asked if they could do something small for the occasion. The first server listened, nodded, and went inside the kitchen as if he was going to check with somebody. He comes out and stands near the kitchen door and then did nothing—just watched us from a distance. We checked with this guy twice. He pretended as if he hadn't heard the first time. He went away and this time didn't go inside and stood near the kitchen door. Another person in our group asked a second server, who said he would check, but he simply walked back to join the first server and neither returned with an answer. It was disrespectful of them standing and keeping us waiting for a response while we finished our dinner and continued to wait for an answer. The 7 year old child with us was also waiting thinking something special would come for him. We didn't ask it for free, we just asked if they have something special to make the kid's birthday memorable. The answer could have been simple - Yes/No. But no response is shameful.
We eventually asked for the bill and told the server how unprofessional it was to ignore the request. All we received was a smile and a “sorry.” We paid and left.
Since then, I haven’t gone back to that place and I make sure no one orders food even online from there if I’m sharing food.

Shahzaib (owner) was extremely helpful in deciding the menu perfect items, reserving the table and managing the whole restaurant experience so good, we have been into this restaurant many times and every time it has been worthwhile. I brought my other families too and they loved the hospitality of this restaurant too from various aspects.

No matter how many tries you give to this place every time the food is horrible, each and every dish is tasteless. It’s u pain that even after giving verbal feedback they’ve not fixed anything. People don’t care about what product they’re consuming otherwise there would’ve been flavorful instead of just filling your belly. They’ve lost my business and such places don’t last long. Instead of making revenue they should make clients by serving good authentic food.

We hosted a party at Clove Restaurant, and from beginning to end, everything was absolutely perfect. The moment we started planning, Adil, the owner, made us feel completely at ease. He was so professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail turned out beautifully. His calm and thoughtful approach made the entire experience stress-free for our family. On the day of the event, the restaurant looked stunning. The setup was elegant, the lighting was warm, and the atmosphere was filled with love and joy. Adil and his team went above and beyond constantly checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly and that every guest was comfortable. Their kindness and hospitality truly stood out and made such a difference.
And the food was phenomenal! Every dish was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. You could really tell that the team at Clove takes pride in what they do, from the kitchen to the front of the house. We’re so grateful to Adil and his wonderful staff for making party such a special and memorable day. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made all the difference. We’ll definitely be coming back for many more family celebrations and recommending Clove to everyone we know!
