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 going to the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe production of 'Lies, Spells & Old Wives Tales', 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.
With an extensive menu we began with two starters, Vegetarian Samosas and Chicken Momo Dumplings, following with our favourite Dal Makhani, Goat Bhuna, and Balti Chicken, as well as Aged Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan. The server thoughtfully asked for 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.
