The Spotlight on Cloves Indian Cuisine

Bold Indian Flavors Just Steps from the Stage

Cloves Indian Cuisine brings authentic Indian fare to the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Located on Madison Avenue, this cozy, unpretentious spot delivers rich flavors and a warm atmosphere—just a short walk from some of New York's top concert venues. With a focus on traditional North Indian dishes and friendly service, it's a go-to for anyone craving a flavorful meal before the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Cloves is conveniently situated near popular concert spots like Madison Square Garden and Gramercy Theatre, making it a smart stop before the lights go down. It’s known for its fast service, which means you won't be late for the opening act. The intimate setting keeps things relaxed—even during peak times—and the aromas alone will put you in the mood for something unforgettable.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share flavorful curries and naan
  • Solo travelers who want comforting, satisfying food before a big show
  • Couples enjoying a romantic weekend with spice
  • Fans seeking a lively, aromatic pre-show bite
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for great value in Midtown

What People Say

Guests rave about the butter chicken, lamb curry, and garlic naan, often calling the food “consistently delicious” and “flavor-packed.” Many diners appreciate the friendly staff and comment on the restaurant’s ability to handle orders quickly—even when the dining room is full. TripAdvisor reviewers highlight the “authentic flavors” and “great value for NYC.”

Areas for Improvement

The space is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit tight when it’s busy—especially right before a big show. Reservations aren’t always available, so larger groups may want to arrive early or be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table. Ambience is simple, so it’s not a fine-dining vibe, but the food more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for flavor, speed, and proximity to NYC concert venues, Cloves Indian Cuisine hits all the right notes.
