Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the food, describing dishes as fresh, tasty and piping hot. The Exotikka is called delicious and the chicken jalfrezi fantastic, and one diner singles out the clay oven. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly and welcoming, with several noting that meals came out quickly even when the room was busy on Valentines night. One reviewer says staff were helpful about making dishes less spicy. Portions are called huge by one diner, and several name it the best Indian in the area, praising both traditional and contemporary dishes. One reviewer recommends booking beforehand, noting the large dining room was filling up on a Tuesday evening. Service is the recurring trade-off. One diner had a long wait for food but took the busy room as a good sign. Another, who had enjoyed earlier visits, reports needing four requests to staff before an order was taken. The food then arrived in good time and was very nice, but no one could be flagged down for the bill, so they paid on the way out.

This is a brilliant, family-run restaurant where authentic hospitality is at the heart of everything they do.

Every dish was prepared to perfection, showcasing authentic flavours and incredible quality, the spice was great!! It is rare to find a restaurant that nails the perfect balance of a stunning location, warm family hospitality, and class fresh food. Turmeric Gold does exactly that. I highly recommend anyone to visit. This isn't just a meal, it’s a must-visit destination!”

“In my view this is the best Indian in the area. Traditional and contemporary dishes cooked to perfection. Came here for my partners birthday, highly recommended. I had chicken jalfreize which was fantastic. Staff are so welcoming and friendly. Will be back!”

“We went to Turmeric Gold yesterday evening, having had great experiences here before we were sorely disappointed with this experience. The service was unbelievably slow. It took four times of asking various members of staff to take our order. Eventually we did manage to order the food came in good time and was very nice. But then when we managed to attract someone to bring our bill, we were then struggling to get anyone’s attention. I got so frustrated that we had to pay on the way out. Tables with larger groups were getting all the attention they needed even those that arrived after us. We won’t be going back.”

“The food here is amazing and in our opinion the best Indian restaurant in the area. There was a long wait for the food, but the restaurant was busy which we took as a good sign. We didn't mind waiting as we were having a lovely evening and the food was worth the wait.”

The hospitality was top-notch, and it's budget-friendly too! Perfect spot for a late-night dinner and catching up with friends and family. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!”
