My daughter and I was visiting Florida ( Sarasota). The first day a friend took us there. The buffet was incredible ! Very delicious! My daughter really enjoyed and loved the food that she asked me to take her back again the same week. Wow! The services was awesome! The food was so delicious! It was our favorite restaurant . I wish they have the same restaurant around where we live . Absolutely recommend ! 100%

Excellent Indian food. Allwyn was our server and couldn’t of been any better. Very insightful about the food, and quick with accommodations. We tried the Puri shots, which sound odd, but the flavor is impeccable. We also tried their butter chicken, Nalli Korma, Hot & Sour soup, and tomato Rasan soup w/Kashmiri and Keema naan. Everything was delicious and we only wish there would of been more people in our group so we could’ve ordered more. We will definitely return to this location.

Pristine restaurant with delicious food. We opted for the lunch buffet which is a great deal if you like to try lots of items. Service was attentive and went out of their way to make our lunch special. One cook even made a roti in the shape of a butterfly for my daughter. Can’t wait to go back as we can’t stop thinking about our delicious meal. Thank you all so much!

This was the second time my companion ate there and my first. It’s a large place and this was a Wednesday night right at dinner time.

Great atmosphere, nice service and tasty food. I got there right at the end of the buffet, so it took a little long for the waitor to come to the table, but Allywn was so friendly. He provided true customer service. Turmeric Indian Bar & Grill is definitely a place to visit when in Sarasota!

5 star is not enough for this place … they are the best In Town.. we just got catering done for an event at our house and it was very professionally done.. Thanks to the chef and management food was very delicious and way beyond our expectations. Qty was more than sufficient. All our guest including kids were more than pleased … I would highly recommend this restaurant for all your food and catering needs. They delivered our food in Hot Boxes .. arranged everything and was ready to serve for our guests.

I can’t wait to come back! Went today with a group of 6 and we all got the buffet for lunch. Great price for a bunch of dishes that were all excellent. Clean and open seating. Good ambience. Only problem is my stomach ran out of space! Highly recommend.
