    My wife and I have been to countless Indian restaurants in our lifetimes. This ranks up there as one of the best. Service is attentive. Food is served hot and freshly prepared. The butter chicken, hands down, is one of the best I've ever eaten. The masala dosa was to die for. And the baigan bharta superb. It's just too bad it's a trek to get to from where we live, or we'd come more often

    We stumbled upon Turmeric while searching for some vegan options for part of our group and it turned out to be a delightful find! As lovers of Indian cuisine, this restaurant was perfect for us. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and each one was exceptional. The flavors were rich and authentic, catering wonderfully to both vegan and non-vegan palates. In addition to the outstanding food, the service was fantastic. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable meal. We will definitely be back!

    The ambiance was more like a diner than a good restaurant. The noise level--from piped-in music, was unpleasant. The goat curry was awful, no real taste and there was much more fat and bone than meat. Gobi Manchurian was overly spicy. Having ordered other items for delivery, I expected much better food. If my this had been my only experience, I would never return.

    This is the best Indian restaurant in south west Florida. Turmeric offers a varied menu of authentic Indian food to cater for all tastes and spice levels. I’ve never had a bad meal here and return during every visit to Sarasota.
