I really enjoyed the balance of spices, and everything tasted homemade rather than overly heavy. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy a good meal, and leave already thinking about what you'll try next time. Definitely a spot I'd happily visit again!

Stopped by The Turmeric Kitchen for lunch today while we were out adventuring and trying to dodge…read morethe rain. When we first walked in nobody else was there, so we were greeted immediately and given a nice booth. The inside surprised me... very cozy, nicely decorated and just fancy enough without feeling stuffy. There's also a bar outside, but we were there for the food. The lady who seated us told us about their $13.99 hot plate lunch special. We could order from the regular menu, but being able to sample a bunch of different things sounded like the way to go. I also really liked that the food is kept behind the counter where you can see everything and they build your plate for you. It isn't a buffet where everybody is reaching into the same trays. We started with their lentil soup, and I seriously wish they had given me a bigger bowl. Lots of flavor with a nice little kick. From the hot plate we tried butter chicken, Dal Makhni, samosa, Paneer Tikka, garlic naan, basmati rice, their Indian-style fried rice, grilled onions and peppers, along with the chutneys. The fried rice was especially good and had way more going on than the plain white rice. The stars for me were the Dal Makhni, samosa and butter chicken. The Dal Makhni honestly wasn't the prettiest thing on the bar until it was on my plate, and I probably wouldn't have picked it on my own, but I'm glad she suggested trying a little of everything because it was fantastic. Big flavor and a good kick. The butter chicken had a slightly sweet sauce but was packed with flavor. And that Paneer Tikka caught me completely off guard... buttery, lightly browned with such a good texture that I actually saved my last piece for the final bite. The chutneys were great too, especially with the samosa. The same lady who greeted us kept checking on us throughout the meal, and another lady who appeared to be helping prepare the food came over to see how everything was. We told her exactly what we were thinking... excellent. We also watched people behind us order from the regular menu and those portions were huge. I had a few doubts before we walked in, but between the food, the atmosphere and the service, those disappeared pretty quickly. We had seen the five star reviews and the recognition they've received locally, and after eating here I understand it. The lunch special gave us exactly what we wanted... a chance to try a little bit of everything and leave thinking, "Yeah, we need to come back and try more." Five stars from me.

We had originally booked a table outside on their patio but the rain had other plans for us. We were told a new table inside would be about an hour and a half over the phone so we waited until then and came. It was worth it! The restaurant is small, cozy, and intimate. We started with drinks and they were fresh and light. For apps we got the mesa wings and Batata vada. I loved both! Such great flavors. For mains, we got the the shrimp and grits and mesa chicken curry. Again - flavors were incredible. For the dessert, we got the banana pudding semifreddo - and I was obsessed! Such a delcious sweet treat. Would love to come back and sit on the patio when the weather starts to cool down!

Parking was effortlessly convenient with ample space available. The decor is wonderfully stylish, infusing the spotless environment with rich, traditional Indian aesthetic touches that create a serene and refined atmosphere perfect for a relaxing Saturday meal. I was particularly impressed by their thoughtful seating layout, which offers comfortably separated sections tailored for both families and solo diners.Additionally, I chose Mango lassi as my drink The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish gracious, attentive, and warmly welcoming throughout. Despite it being a Saturday, the restaurant maintained a serene, uncrowded ambiance while offering an extraordinary variety of fresh, piping hot options. For my main course, I selected the Chicken Tikka Masala served alongside fragrant white rice. When it arrived, it proved to be an absolute culinary triumph exceptionally fresh, decadent, and executed with exquisite flavor balance. Between the immaculate cleanliness, peaceful aesthetic, impeccable service, and magnificent cuisine, this hidden gem earns absolute full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous dining experience I shall most certainly be returning

I recently noticed Karma while on my way to Office Depot to pick up an order. On my way out I saw…read morethat they'd done the printing for Karma's menus and business cards. I decided to grab one of the menus. I took a look and everything sounded appetizing. It was also a number of different dishes I hadn't seen on any other Indian restaurant menu. I decided to give them a try. I ordered take out. When I went in to pick up my food I was delighted by the decor. It's fun. The person who brought out my order was friendly. My party got several items on the menu: Malai Kofta, an assortment of breads and desserts, and the Chicken 65 Biryani. Everything was fantastic. The following week I saw that Karma was on TooGoodToGo as well. I couldn't pass up Karma suprise. The food was once again fantastic. The only thing I would change about the TooGoodToGo order would've been a little more variety in the dishes. What I got was great though. This place should be full whenever they are open. So good! I am looking forward to going back.

We get a table and start to order we think our server couldn't hear us maybe cause I think we got different things then we ordered but hey we just ate them, lol! Everything we tried was very good, but definitely seemed like some miscommunication with our server, like we asked for mild on a dish and it came out so spicy. Despite that we ate everything and enjoyed, standout dish for me was the mushroom Nan it was SO delicious! Piping hot fresh with cheese and mushrooms in it, with butter all over!

I ordered medium heat, but there was zero spice. Not a bad thing, I still enjoyed it. Rice was included, which is a plus. There was enough food here for two big, full bowls.
