    The food is good but the customer service wasn’t too great. And they DID NOT have A/C on during 89 degree heat wave! Smh

    Excellent food. Service was a touch slow and laid back. But the food was divine and good portions! Friendly servicemen. Parking was a bear because Merriweather was having a concert, but but parking in two garages was totally fine and the weather was nice enough to enjoy the five minute walk.

    If you don't like very spicy, ask for mild. Otherwise we will go back and try the small plates ..Naan was very good and all food was served sizzling.

    Great meal! Food and service excellent. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Worth looking for around the corner of the main square of Merriweather District in Columbia.

    Even the unfortunate fire alarm on Christmas Day couldn't spoil the mood or the meal. We had such great food and fun, and cannot possibly recommend the resto highly enough. There was nothing like this in Columbia, when I was growing up. Hats off to positive change. I just want to know when Clove and Cardamom is coming to Montgomery County, where I now live - or, DC where I work. I'll be sure to bring my friends...often!

    Food was fabulous. Music a bit too loud. Service a little slow. Freezing cold breeze swept through the restaurant every time someone opened the front door, which was uncomfortable.

    Clove and Cardamom is a unique Indian restaurant with Mediterranean and Italian influences. My favorite dish was the spicy crab cake ($16), a creative Indian twist on the classic Maryland crab cake, infused with bold Indian spices. However, the garlic pepper scallops were disappointing—they were overly chewy and lacked seasoning. The Szechuan fried rice was decent but didn’t quite deliver the signature Szechuan flavors. The chili chicken had a slight smoky taste and was enjoyable, though it differed from the traditional Indo-Chinese version. For drinks, we tried the Love at First Sip and the lychee mint cocktail, both of which were light, refreshing, and well-balanced. The service was great—our server was attentive and checked in regularly.
