I only spend about 30 bucks (including tip) when I take myself on a date here, (& I always leave with leftovers.) The service has been great every time. two times my host has been Naren. Shout out Naren, he has really kind and calming energy and he never makes you feel rushed. Anytime I've come in here I almost immediately drop into a meditative state. I can just be silent & enjoy the ambience. The music, chatter, smells of cooking foods, & decorations are nice.

I have never tried Indian food before, but my friends who I was with had them before. One of my…read morefriends has been at this place multiple times and raves about it.. Street Parking was easy to find, 1 server was there on a Wednesday but he got us seated quickly, we scanned the menu and we ordered samosas, butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, chicken tandoori, garlic naan and the mango lassis. I must say, we let our friend order for us and she ordered all the right things, everything was delicious! Dipping the naan on the sauces was so heavenly! Plenty of tables, plenty of customers too, they also get a lot of to go orders, tables were clean, place was bright. We will be back for sure.

Even sharing homemade mango ice cream you can't find elsewhere. My friend loved it! I did too! Super unique and refreshing and delicious. She said the coconut curry is one she had years ago and haven't found equal... this is it! It's that good! This family restaurant serves quality homemade meals and you feel great after eating here. And at $11.99 for lunch (that lasts me two meals) well you just can't beat it. Not at this quality.

Monday night was our last night in Carlsbad and we had dinner here. Place is located at the…read moreCarlsbad village infront of a fountain with other restaurants and ice cream shop. Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy! If you're by Carlsbad and want to experience the taste of Nepal, Indian and Tibetan cuisine, this place is for you. They will treat you like family. This will be our go to place when we visit Carlsbad again. Will be back!!!

We ate: - Mysore Masala Dosa, the sides of it, are all so good and fresh. - Goat fry biryani, the star and the 5star worth for me! The chunks are in a good amount, the masala is enough and not too over powered in any. The spicy level which was medium is correct! - chicken butter masala, this is also good and the chicken piece amount is good, the masala hits adequately and the cream on top adds well to it! - Samosa Chaat! 10star!!! It's so filling yet satisfying and once we came back to hotel. I was craving for more! They need to just hopefully make the restaurant bigger, others are so good already. The service and all is good

Ambience: 4/5 We decided to give this place a try for lunch…read moreon a Sunday afternoon. When we walked in, there two other groups of two people but no workers. We decided to just sit and as we did a worker came out of the kitchen and we just nodded at each other as we sat down. That pretty much sums up the service we had - very no nonsense and no conversation. This doesn't bother us much, but if you are the kind of person that likes to be attended to then you might have felt a little weird about it. They also weren't playing music for the first 10-15 minutes, so it was a little awkwardly quiet. Once the music started back up, I felt like the atmosphere got a little better. Food 5/5 I had checked out their menu online and was really excited to see they had Pani Puri! I have always wanted to try it, but it isn't very common in Indian restaurants. We really enjoyed it but I personally would have liked an option to up the spice or maybe have some chilis on the side. Veg Samosas were perfect - no notes! So yummy with the green chutney Tikka Masala with Chicken - really can't go wrong with this dish but man this one had us scraping the plate! So good and the rice comes included which is not always included so that was nice. Garlic naan and was also good! Perfect with the Tikka Masala Mango Lassi was good - not the best I've ever had but it was still refreshing in this hot afternoon. All in all we were really happy with our meal and we were already talking about the things we would order if we came back.

A Hidden Gem in Oceanside - Amazing Food Every Time!…read more Turmeric Hut has become one of our family's favorite restaurants in Oceanside. I've been there for both lunch and dinner, and every time I leave happy. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are absolutely worth it. I was first introduced to Turmeric Hut during the Taste of Oceanside event and was blown away by how amazing their sample was. It was so good that I've been back many times since, and it never disappoints. The butter chicken is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the naan is fabulous, fresh, and the perfect complement to every meal. If you're looking for excellent Indian food in Oceanside, I highly recommend Turmeric Hut. My family and I love it!

Walked in there and immediately I realized that had no idea that anyone was coming to pick up food.. I showed them the confirmation on their own website with purchase number, showed them their text. Confirmation showed them my credit card receipt. They looked at their computer and didn't have the order in their system, so obviously it was my fault. The old gentleman they suggested that I didn't have enough room on my credit card and the charge was denied. He literally said I was too poor to eat there. F$-@ this restaurant! Their food may be good, I don't know. All I will say is I will never go to this place again and if you do, do not try and buy off of their website. They will rip you off. I'm disputing the charge now

Came with a group who couldn't decide what to eat for dinner, so we went to the Island food court…read more A few others and I wanted to try Punjabi Tandoor, so we ordered some stuff to share, and my oh my was it delicious. I got the shrimp vindalu, which had great flavor. Each bite was a flavor explosion to my tastebuds. The shrimps were very tender, and the potatoes soaked up the sauce so well. Paired with the garlic naan, the meal was simply divine. Not only was the food amazing, the man behind the counter with the curly mustache was incredibly nice. He gave us recommendations, described some of the food, and even chatted with us a bit since the store wasn't too full. Since we were all so happy with our experience, we decided to go back the next day for lunch! This time I ordered the chicken lunch combo, which came with rice and naan, and I chose to get butter chicken and chicken curry. The lunch meals are premade and served from warming tubs, as opposed to the made to order dinner meals. It was still very delicious however! The butter chicken had a rich, pungent flavor, and the meat had a deep red color, I'm assuming from hours of marinating. The chicken curry was great as well, but not quite as good as the butter chicken. I also got a mango lassi, which I had heard all about but had never tried. It was super creamy and sweet, and was perfect to wash down the spicy curry. This restaurant has a few other locations all across SoCal, and each one is owned by a different members of the family, which we learned by talking to the man behind the counter. I would definitely come back, this is the best Indian food I have ever had.

The mall location means parking is a breeze, the seating is plentiful, the hygiene is immaculate, and the owner and staff are genuinely wonderful people to talk to. Everything is flawless until you ask for extra napkins, at which point the hospitality ends and the Great Napkin Depression begins. The atmosphere instantly shifts, and you are treated less like a dining guest and more like a fraudulent loan applicant. Even the sketchiest hole-in-the-wall joints leave a full box of napkins on the table and the fast-food drive-thrus throw handfuls of paper at you, but here? You are handed exactly one single, microscopic, budget-grade square per person that feels mathematically engineered to dissolve on contact. It's a tease, not a tool. I needed a beach towel; I got a postage stamp. I am forcibly deducting a full star for this tragic tissue tragedy. Break up the napkin monopoly, Sankalp, and you get your 5 stars back! Final verdict: Unless you are emotionally attached to good-quality napkins, or don't mind smuggling a roll of Bounty in your jacket pocket, you absolutely must visit this place for the food alone!!

They bring bread, naan, whatever is being served that day to the table nice and hot. A small bottle of water was provided. The day I went they had vegetables, white rice, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, curry chicken, and a pork dish. Salad comes with a yogurt dressing which I do not like. At the time they did not have a variety of salad dressing. The dahl was delicious. My daughter is a picky eater and said it was just okay. I thought for the price they had a very nice selection. The inside of the restaurant is plain. Nothing fancy, but I am there for the food. I hope to visit again when I come back in November.
