Cloves Indian Cafe is permanently closing its doors.

The restaurant, located in downtown Lafayette, closed as of Monday, according to a Facebook post shared Sunday evening.

The decision was based on staffing and maintenance issues. The restaurant, located at 302 Jefferson Street, opened in January.

"We are proud and thankful that we were able to serve thousands of customers and employ several locals over the past year," the post reads. "Thanks to everyone for all the love and support received!"
