Located in the heart of Sarasota's Rosemary district, Turmeric serves a range of Indian dishes that showcase the vibrant cuisines of the East, West, North, South and Central India, creating a rich and exciting menu thanks to chef Sarabjit Singh, who brings to life some of the most iconic dishes from the rich culture of India with traditional favourites from samosas, paneer, biryanis, tandoori, vindaloos, kormas, to many types of naan and dal. Arriving for dinner before the theatre, we are greeted by warm aromatic spices that permeate the modern main floor dining room which is a sea of sunny yellow seating with rich teal green booths and sleek wooden tables.
The menu is extensive and we choose a starter, Vegetarian Samosas is very good. As he returns to take our dinner order, we select our traditional favourites: Dal Makhani, Lamb Sheesh Kebab, Tandoori Chicken, with Aged Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan. The server thoughtfully asks our preferred level of heat on a scale of one to four: one is mild and four is described as "Indian hot." Usually up for a challenge, we choose medium heat the time before. Lesson learned — this time we turned up the heat throttle to a full flavoured number three and it was absolutely perfect.
