Let’s face it-no great meal ends without something sweet. Especially when we’re talking about Indian cuisine, where desserts are just as rich, vibrant, and comforting as the mains.

Why Indian Desserts Deserve the Spotlight
There’s something truly special about Indian desserts. They’re not just sugary treats - they’re wrapped in culture, tradition, and nostalgia. From festive celebrations to cozy family dinners, desserts like Rasmalai or Gulab Jamun are woven into our sweetest memories.
At Clove, those memories are respected-and reimagined. Each dish is created with care, using premium ingredients and plated with a fine-dining flair. So, whether you’re a die-hard dessert lover or someone who usually skips the last course, this is one menu that’ll change your mind.
Signature Desserts You’ll Crave Again (and Again)
Berrylicious Gajrela – A Gajar Ka Halwa Like You’ve Never Had Before
We all know and love Gajrela (aka carrot halwa)-that warm, slow-cooked dish made with grated carrots, milk, ghee, and nuts. At Clove, it gets a berry twist. Tart seasonal berries cut through the richness, adding color, zing, and a surprise punch of flavor.
It’s comforting, nostalgic, and totally new. One bite and you’ll wonder why you ever ate it any other way.
Surrey’s Mess – A Creamy, Crunchy Fusion Masterpiece
Inspired by the classic Eton Mess but given a desi remix, this dessert layers whipped cream, fresh fruits, and spiced meringue with Indian touches. It’s airy, vibrant, and absolutely addictive.
The best part? It’s not just a dessert-it’s a conversation starter.
The Indian Classics – Done the Clove Way
Traditional Gajrela
Of course, Clove also serves the good old-school version of Gajrela. Slow-cooked carrots, infused with ghee, and topped with roasted dry fruits. Served warm, it’s the perfect dessert to cozy up with on a cool Surrey evening.
Rasmalai
Delicate, spongy cottage cheese discs soaked in sweetened, saffron milk-Rasmalai is the queen of chilled Indian desserts. Clove’s version is rich, creamy, and elegantly plated.
Whether you’re ending a spicy meal or just stopping by for sweets, Rasmalai is an evergreen crowd-pleaser.
Gulab Jamun
No list of the best desserts is complete without these golden, syrup-soaked beauties. At Clove, the Gulab Jamun is soft, warm, and just the right amount of sweet. Served on its own or paired with a scoop of kulfi, it’s guaranteed to hit the spot.
It’s the ultimate comfort food-but dressed up for date night.
Kesar Kheer
Creamy, chilled rice pudding infused with saffron, cardamom, and nuts-this is what sweet dreams are made of. Simple, subtle, and totally satisfying.
Not too sweet, not too heavy. Just perfect.
Sago Pudding (Sabudana Kheer)
For something light and gluten-free, this coconut-based pudding with tapioca pearls is a gentle, aromatic alternative to the heavier sweets. It’s silky, slightly nutty, and finished with a dusting of cardamom.
And Then There’s Chocolate…
Choco Lava Cake – With an Indian Soul
This isn’t your average molten cake. Clove adds a unique desi flair to the chocolate core-sometimes with hints of spice, nuts, or even saffron. Served warm, gooey, and deeply indulgent, it’s every chocoholic’s dream on a dessert plate.
If you’re bringing someone who “doesn’t like Indian sweets,” trust us-they’ll thank you for this.
