I have enjoyed Indian food all my life—from a variety of regions, restaurants, and homes—and I can confidently say the chicken tikka masala here (a dish that actually originated in Britain, not India) is the best I have ever had. Paired with their hearty garlic naan, it’s simply amazing. While I can’t indulge in the naan anymore due to a recently-discovered wheat allergy, I stick to the flavorful cumin rice that accompanies the tikka masala. I have had their garlic naan in the past, and let’s just say I dream about it now! One thing I appreciate is that their menu is clearly labeled with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. This makes it so much easier for people with dietary restrictions to enjoy their food without worry. We have ordered from Turmeric five times now, and every meal has been a huge hit in our house. Our kids, ranging from ages 4 to 16, happily demolish their offerings alongside us adults. It’s rare to find a restaurant where everyone in the family is equally enthusiastic, but Turmeric has managed to win us all over. As a family who cooks from scratch daily and rarely eats out, I always keep an eye out for food quality and safety when we do. The food from this restaurant has never made any of us sick, which is a huge plus for us since health is a top priority in our home. Our family friends are just as impressed, often raving about the food from here. They love the lamb korma and describe it as 'phenomenal.' Thank you, Turmeric, for consistently delivering wonderful, tasty food that nourishes our bodies and brings joy to our dining table. We’ll keep coming back for more!

So much to say…all positive. Small business family owned and run😃. Before getting to the food: nice atmosphere with more modern decor than many Indian joints, not a bunch of dusty stuff and pics of Hindi gods and goddesses. Clean and very pleasant with music that was not overpowering. Ladies room: Did I clean this? Thought maybe I did because I clean and then I detail. I’m a corner checker and these corners checked out. I couldn’t find a flaw. Servers were happy, helpful, attentive, and working to please in my experience. I don’t want to go out and work for a pleasant experience; and I have done that at other restaurants, but not here. I sampled the house made and available to be purchased hot sauce, pickled lime hot sauce, and pickled chili sauce. I never leave with a restaurant’s sauce… but today I adopted little pickled lime sauce and big brother hot sauce, and cradled them all the way home! I don’t eat meat and I have to have gluten free. There is a huge gluten free selection and vegetarian selection compared to most restaurants. I haven’t had an appetizer in years because so much is fried, but here I ordered the gluten free fried veggies with dipping sauce and it was yummy, crispy and fresh. My husband ordered the garlic naan and loved the spice saying that there was no skimping on the garlic. For my entree I had the salmon currie. I wasn’t sure how currie and salmon would marry, but it was a match made in heaven. Red currie which was complex and spicy (I ordered the medium spice), which paired well with my Malbec. The salmon was expertly cooked and a generous portion. I am not a rice lover but loved their basmati rice. My husband ordered the chicken Korma and was impressed with it saying it was flavorful, complex, and bold. This is my new favorite restaurant and they offer happy hour (half off drinks-for my friends who know it’s 5 o’ clock everywhere). I will be back to order salmon as the protein with other traditional Indian cuisine choices.
