    First time in Turmeric Hut, the best authentic Indian food ever and the staffs are very friendly. Their Baigan Bharta, Chicken Biriyani and Madras Lamb Curry is a must try.

    The best Indian cuisine restaurants in recent times. Self order and cozy place. Fresh and tasty as food is prepared on demand. They have open kitchen and you can see all the action live. Great service and very amicable. Overall very satisfied. The mango lassi and desserts also feel nostalgic.

    Great food, and-fabulous service - loved it! The portions are right sized presented well. I was amazed at how well the flavors in every single dish blend together and yet everything can be distinctly tasted. Highly recommend and would definitely go again!

    The whole team so nice and good, today we called them at 8 pm in the night, but they usually close it till 8pm , but the owner tells us to come in and they waited for us for more 1 hour. The food was so good,thanks to all the chef for making so nice and delicious food for us. Someone rating with 1 star or bad review won’t take turmeric hut down, it will rise and shine as the food is good and the manager was so nice and kind. Don’t make your decision on my review with 5 star, or with other’s with 1 star, GO AND TRY THIS TURMERIC HUT ones and you’ll be the family with them ❤️, Thank you whole team for serving us😊, and then we ordered chai and pakode , so tasty❤️✨

    Family-owned and operated, Turmeric Hut provides high-quality, gourmet Indian cuisine with matching high-quality service from an owner that truly cares about each patron's dining experience. The ordering experience is modernized and streamlined with two options; a large touchscreen panel where you can place your order and pay or walk-up traditional order and pay option in person at the register. Occasionally, you may experience a wait for hand-crafted food but the quality is worth it. On one visit I ordered rice pudding with my dinner order to learn it was going to take at least 45 minutes because they had just ran out and had to make a fresh batch. I was visibly disappointed but understood, and before I could make a decision to cancel, the owner said, "Where do you live? I will drop it off to you." I said, "Really?" She replied, "Yes, I just want people to be happy. I know how it is when you have a taste for something and we're looking forward to it." And so she did. This will be my go-to for Indian cuisine from here on out.

    Misunderstanding on the spiciness level which we asked for 4-5 and ended up incredibly spicy to a point where all tasted the same. Asked to correct the order and give the least spicy option. Unwillingly agreed to fix the order after speaking with the manager and ended up watering down the same exact food we brought back and put back in the same exact containers, even with the marker corrected the name. Water just dripping off the food and got back with no meat at all in one of the containers. Terrible choice and an absolute mistake to choose this place. Should’ve gone with love boat sushi next door as we planned. Untrustworthy people, $82 for a to go order thrown in the trash. Very little to no people these days care about their business.

    My experience was very disappointing and I'm glad this was not my first time trying Indian food. I will never eat there again; If you're looking for good Indian food with less than 30 min wait time, then I'd suggest that you try "Taste of the Himalayas" instead. There was a sign in the store that said the minimum wait time is 30-40 mins, so I decided to go shopping after they took my order and phone number. I decided to go back an hour after assuming they messed up my phone number, and noticed the couple who ordered after me were about done with their meal. The guy assured me that my order was "just" completed, and the woman gave me my food with a beautiful smile, so I couldn't be too mad for waiting more than 20 minutes than I had anticipated. I was devastated when I got home to see what I had just spent approximately $40 for; I gave 2 stars because the Biryani had a reasonable amount of meat in it, otherwise, I would've only given 1 star. Why would you serve anyone food that looked like that? I would've preferred a refund if they had told me that they messed up my food 😒

    Buffet is only Saturday and Sunday from 11:30-2:30. Good selections of food. 4 kinds of vegetable dishes and 4 kinds of chicken dishes. Including plain rice, naan and hot masala chai tea. And rice pudding for dessert. We enjoyed our lunch. And the owner Priya is the sweetest. Can’t wait to go back soon. The restaurant is clean and pretty inside.

    This restaurant is a true delight for foodies who appreciate authentic flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by the aromas of traditional spices. I recently visited Turmeric Hut for the third time with some friends and once again, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. This Indian restaurant continues to amaze me with its exceptional cuisine and warm hospitality. But what really stands out is their Lunch Special Buffet on weekends. This is an experience that you simply cannot afford to miss. The buffet spread is simply amazing and will leave you spoilt for choice. From succulent tandoori chicken to aromatic biryani, from flavorful curries to butter bliss naans, the buffet has something for everyone. The best part? The food is FRESHLY prepared and constantly replenished, ensuring that you get the best of everything. It's no surprise that I keep coming back to Turmeric Hut. The food is consistently delicious, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is simply delightful. If you are looking for an authentic Indian dining experience that will leave you wanting more, I highly recommend Turmeric Hut.

    I am so disappointed that I spent 5 years here in Southern California without coming here. They sent a menu to my old apartment and I threw it away but people please come here and eat you will not regret it. For those who do not like spicy start at 2-3 and you can adjust up if it’s not spicy enough. The staff were very friendly the food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was homey and clean. I am absolutely delighted to have stopped here today and will be back often so long as I stay in Southern California.

    Friendliest people and great restaurant. Overall I recommend this place 10/10 as it’s so close and convenient to my house for an authentic Indian cuisine. Pictures don’t do enough justice, you have to try it for yourself!

  • 5/5 Matt F. 6 months ago on Google
    First time coming and the service was so nice. She helped me figure out what to order and even let me try a desert before buying. I got the butter chicken and garlic naan on a cold day and was happily warmed up from it. I will definitely be coming back here for more!

    The food was delicious. This is the place to go if you’re looking for homemade Indian food made from quality ingredients. Be sure to try their chai tea too!

    This place has great homely Indian food. We ordered daal and mattar paneer combo and both tasted delicious. Also the owner is very friendly and can accommodate the dishes as per your taste. Highly recommend this place!
