The Clove Indian and Nepali Cuisine | Our Story

Where Flavors Bring People Together

For over 10 years, Ramakant Kharel has called Glenview home. With more than 30 years in the restaurant world, his love for food, people, and culture runs deep. Over the years, he hasn't just served meals. He's made friends, shared stories, and helped others discover the beauty of Indian flavors and traditions. But something was missing. Glenview needed a special place, a restaurant that could bring people together while celebrating the rich tastes of Indian, Nepali, and Indo-Chinese food. That's how The Clove Indian and Nepali Cuisine was born.

Bringing Food, Culture, and Community Together

Bringing Food, Culture, and Community Together

At The Clove, our team is more than a staff. We’re a family of cooks, servers, and hosts who genuinely care about every guest who walks through the door. Whether it’s neighbors meeting for the first time, families celebrating milestones, or friends gathering on a Friday night for live music, this is where Glenview comes together. Every dish we serve carries the warmth of generations of tradition, but it’s the connections made at our tables that truly define us. From live cooking shows to open mic nights, we create moments that go beyond dining. The Clove is not just a restaurant. It’s a place where every dish has a story, and every evening feels like something to remember.
