About Turmeric Gold

Turmeric Gold is an Indian restaurant in Coventry, set in a Tudor-style building at 166 Spon St and established in 2001. Indian decor runs through the dining room, which is laid out with small individual tables and booths. The menu includes vegan options, and rice and naan are listed as separate items, so each can be chosen to go with a main dish. The owner adjusts the spices to suit individual palates. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the flavour of the food, describing dishes as delicious, freshly prepared, hot and beautifully presented, and one notes the owner adjusts the spices to individual palates. The old building, described as 700 years old and possibly Tudor, with individual tables and booths, comes up close behind. So do friendly, attentive service that is not obtrusive, and the vegan options on the menu. Several call it pricey, though a few say the whole experience justifies the cost. Not everyone left satisfied. One diner with lactose intolerance said the Chicken Dynamite starter tasted strongly of butter, and the mushroom 2 Way Jalpiazi Chicken Masala did too, even though the kitchen confirmed no butter was used. Another found a visit hugely disappointing, with an empty dining room and rice and naan listed as separate items. The lactose-intolerant diner added that nothing was replaced or changed, despite the website's promise to put right any dish that falls short.

  • Mr Jolly Lives Next Door
    “Outstanding restaurant, honestly I’d give 6 stars if I could. Housed in a really quirky old (Tudor?) building, the place is full of little individual tables and booths. The food was truly fantastic, both in terms of the very different menu choices but absolutely the dishes that the arrived were all delicious. Service also excellent, in no way obtrusive, but every time you needed something there was one of the team to get it for you. All that and the bill was pretty reasonable as well.”
  • Daniel Peaper
    “Had such a great meal at Turmeric Gold! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — proper authentic flavours, nothing generic. The presentation was gorgeous too, dishes came out looking really special, not what you’d expect for a casual curry night. Service was spot on as well — attentive but not hovering, staff clearly knew the menu inside out. Honestly one of the best Indian meals I’ve had. Definitely recommend if you’re in Coventry.”
  • Ian Sutherland
    “Hugely disappointing. Has always been excellent in the past. Main meal was chicken/lamb pieces and sauce. Rice/naan bread separate items on menu which I've no issues wirh. No atmosphere as we were the only customers.”
  • Vinod Augustine
    “Amazing place, yummy food and service was excellent. Food was freshly prepared and hot, service was exceptional. Next time I am in Coventry will definitely visit again.”
  • Craig Walton
    “Absolutely outstanding experience at Turmeric Gold in Coventry! From the moment we walked in, the presentation and atmosphere were beautiful—elegant, warm, and inviting. The staff were exceptional: friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure everything was perfect. And the food… simply incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavour, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Without a doubt, this is the best curry I’ve ever had. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, I couldn’t recommend Turmeric Gold highly enough. Five stars all the way!”
