Anise and Clove

Anise & Clove was born from a simple, unshakable conviction: that every celebration — whether an intimate dinner for twelve or a lakefront wedding for two hundred — deserves the same artistry, warmth, and intention that defines the finest dining experiences. Founded by Preeti Agarwal, whose culinary journey spans decades of creating beloved gathering spaces in Seattle, Anise & Clove draws from deep roots in Indian spice traditions and a passion for the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Her restaurants — intimate neighborhood favorites known for their soulful cooking and gracious hospitality — became the proving ground for a larger vision: bringing that same level of care and craft to life's most meaningful moments. What began as a natural extension of that hospitality — catering weddings and private events for friends and loyal guests — has grown into Seattle's most sought-after luxury catering experience. Today, Anise & Clove weaves together Indian, Mediterranean, and Pacific Northwest cuisines into celebrations that are as layered and unforgettable as the flavors we serve.
