I love the delicious food and great service at Turmeric but my last visit was over the top special. My friend drove that day and I forgot to bring the case for my Invisalign. I wrapped it up in a Kleenex and stuck it in my purse. It was on top and when I got my credit card out, yes I set it on the table and proceeded to walk out of the restaurant. Once I got to the car, I looked for it and it was gone, and then I remembered leaving it on the table in the Kleenex. I went back inside and the manager and I went through the trashcan Twice! I could not believe he was in there with me going through it. Everybody's leftover food that had been thrown in there, but there he was helping me out. We didn't find it and left to run an errand over by the mall. To my surprise, he called and had found it. Yes, he went through that trash three times. I can't begin to tell you the relief! In a world where people are not concerned or always saying that's not my job, this gives me hope that there are still good people and I appreciate all of your aggravation of going through that trashcan a third time, kind sir!!! I'm so grateful for all your help! Did I also mention how delicious your food is and how wonderful and accommodating your staff is also?? read more

Wanted something different from a burger and our family decided to try Turmeric. We are happy we did! Our party of 5 was seated right away in a cozy corner booth. They have an extensive menu and we all could not decide. Our server was very helpful with answering our questions and patient with us. The servings were plentiful and we were stuffed. Definitely recommend Turmeric! read more

Excellent food and service . Took a few friends to have Indian food for the first time and they weren't disappointed. Place was clean and quiet for everyone to enjoy. We did order some lamb kebabs on the side which were just right and not spicy for my guests. Do try this place when you want some Indian food for a change. read more

We have eaten here twice - and in both cases, the quality and flavor of food reinforces why we came. We started with the Samosas Chat - which is a wonderful way to start the meal. I had the Lamb Korma and my wife had the curried chicken. We will be coming back and brining our adult children to experience the food. read more

My wife and I enjoy Indian food for one reason, FLAVOR! Indian flavors are spicy, intense and unending. The food we picked hit all 5 senses today. First of all the flavors in every dish we chose knocked our socks off! We chose a medium level of heat and decided on a variety of dishes to try to get a full experience. We HEARD the Tandoori Mixed grill come out, then the aromas hit us. BEAUTIFULLY prepared! There was a wide variety of meats, chicken, lamb, fish, paneer, shrimp. Sizzling on a cast iron platter with aromatics mixed in. This dish was perfectly seasoned. The chicken was my favorite! The Chicken Korma was next. This has to be one of my favorite Indian dishes ever. The chicken is almost secondary to the sauce as I tend to dip naan the whole time I'm eating it. The chicken however was very tender and the flavors were incredible! We had two different kinds of Naan to sop all of the sauces up! Such an incredible variety! We had outstanding service and there were several servers making sure our drinks stayed full and our plates were cleared. The restaurant is an old Wendy's, not too fancy inside but clean, and the area is not the greatest, but don't sleep on this restaurant!! They seriously know what they are doing and we plan to make this our spot for this type of Indian cuisine. Oh and I watched my first Cricket match! That's a cool sport! There were a couple of TVs on around the restaurant with sports. Definitely try this place! read more

We just ate at Turmeric and it was satisfying!' The best authentic Indian food and the crowds are just perfect for us as diners as we got served right away! read more

Absolutely amazing ! Ordered our meal to-go and the portions were generous and everything came out correctly. We will be returning

Turmeric is a great choice if you're looking for delicious Indian food. Our group enjoyed the complimentary papadum with chutneys. We ordered the garlic naan and the vegetable samosas, pastry stuffed with potatoes and peas. These definitely have a kick. For our main dishes, I ordered the chicken coconut curry with basmati rice. Thankfully you get the option of spice level. I enjoy Indian cuisine but prefer the less spicy options. Overall the coconut curry was flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy. My husband ordered the lamb Korma with medium spice and was very happy with it. read more

If you're in the mood for a fantastic dining experience, Turmeric is definitely worth a visit. They offer halal options, but do note that only the chicken and goat dishes are halal. My husband and I, joined by his parents, came to celebrate his mother's birthday, and we made sure to indulge in as many dishes as we could. For appetizers, we started with a shared platter of mixed vegetable pakora and chicken chili momo. Both were a hit! The pakora was crispy and perfectly spiced, while the chicken chili momo was an absolute standout. The aroma of the chili momo was so intoxicating that it filled the entire restaurant. My father-in-law also ordered the chicken corn soup, which was savory and satisfying, and everyone who tried it agreed that it was fantastic. For the main course, my mother-in-law opted for the Tandoori chicken, fish, and shrimp with basmati rice. When the dish arrived, it sizzled on the plate and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavor. Each component was cooked to perfection, and the spices were balanced beautifully. My father-in-law thoroughly enjoyed his goat biryani. The richness of the goat meat and the depth of the spices made it a dish he'll surely order again. My husband had the chicken biryani, which tasted wonderful, but he was a little disappointed with the spice level. It wasn't as fiery as he expected, but the overall flavor was still spot on. As for me, I had the chicken makhani (butter chicken), which was comforting and flavorful. The dish was slightly sweeter than what I typically enjoy, but the taste was still delicious, and the sauce was rich and creamy. We all shared garlic naan and masala paratha to complement our meals--both were soft, warm, and paired wonderfully with our curries. For dessert, we couldn't resist the classic gulab jamun. These little syrup-soaked treats were the perfect end to our meal--sweet, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Aside from the amazing food, the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. The service was impeccable, with drinks being refilled promptly and plates cleared as needed. It felt like the kind of attentive service you'd expect at a fine dining restaurant, and it certainly made our celebration feel special. We left Turmeric full, satisfied, and looking forward to our next visit. This restaurant has definitely earned a spot on our list of go-to spots. Food- 6/5 (that's not a typo!) Service- 5/5 Ambiance- 5/5 read more

Great food and service - attentive staff and pleasant environment for families and friends

Excellent Meal! My husband and I are still sitting in this restaurant blown away by the food we just ate. Everything tasted fresh and the portions are so large. Perfect for takeaway for lunch the next day. Don't hesitate to order an appetizer, or two. And you will regret it if you don't snag a mango lassi. Everything we had to eat developed into a beautiful symphony of flavors. The service was prompt and professional. I don't think my water went under halfway full the whole time. The restaurant itself is clean and light airy music plays while large windows open to a picturesque view of the trees around the building. While we are not from the area, we will most certainly keep this restaurant in mind as we travel. read more

Turmeric Indian Restaurant - Chicken Curry mango Lassi - Indian Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

If you want good Indian food, go out of your way to come to Turmeric! My husband and I are food snobs, and we were both delighted! The best choice we made was to order the dinner for two at a total cost of $40. Honestly, it was enough food for 3-4 people with big appetites. All of the food was great, but I especially enjoyed the tandoori chicken kabobs, the garlic naan, and both the turmeric chicken and the vegetable curry. So flavorful! For $40 you share an appetizer, bread, and dessert, and you get your own soup and entree. It's not like a prix fixe menu because you get so many choices: which naan, which soup, which curry, which dessert. Oh my word! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! This restaurant used to be a Wendy's, but it's had a makeover for sure. The ambiance was sort of basic, and the music was unnecessarily loud, but we didn't even care. The food was the star. It may be that the all the servers wait on all the tables; I just know that someone was always available and helpful, and our drinks were always full. I'm so happy to find excellent Indian food local to me, and I'll be bringing all of my friends and visiting guests! read more

Favorite restaurant in the world. Butter chicken is my favorite meal ever. Every time I have the opportunity to go I will go. Naan in all its variations are delicious. Can't go wrong with anything. read more

Food is awesome and allows hot and a lot for the price . ...............

We went here for 1st time this past week and the food was delicious! They ask how "hot/spicy" you want your food. It was clean inside and service was superb. Definitely will be going back again. read more

Everything was amazing! The service, the food, and the atmosphere were incredible. The server and the cooks delivered pure excellence. I would highly recommend. Their butter chicken is superior to any within the Marietta area. Please stop bye! read more

In my opinion, the best Indian food in Atlanta. The pompidams (sp) with their sauces including the lime pickle. What we like is that you can choose your "heat." My wife had the shrimp curry and I enjoyed the turmeric lamb. Servings were generous so we enjoyed it again the following night. Service was 5 star. read more

Small and busy restaurant. We ordered traditional Indian veg food i.e. dal tadka and mushroom spinach. What really stood out was home cooked touch to the food with just the right amount of spice. Quality is well above average. I'm usually very severe on Indian food restaurants, but this is one of the better ones in around Atlanta. read more

Turmeric Indian Restaurant - Dal tadka & mushroom spinach - Indian Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This place is fantastic! They have a menu that features all of the classic dishes plus many many more. I was blown away by the options. They have an extensive vegetarian selection as well. We ordered three apps and entrees. I also ordered a dish to go. The sauces were perfectly spiced. The food came out quickly with the best service. I really enjoyed the green mint sauce. It had a little kick. The pani puri was pretty good. I wish the sauce had more spice! They were crispy and loaded with filling. I would order those again. My lunch special ordered large was a FEAST! It was a mountain of food that I throughly enjoyed. I ordered mine medium spicy. It had an ok heat to it. I enjoyed all of it but my paneer was my favorite. The lentils on the side were also cooked perfectly. It came with a small serving of kheer. I liked that it didn't have raisins like many other places. The service was top notch throughout the meal. I would definitely recommend it here!The price is fair for what you get read more

Great Indian food and the have dhosa! It's not fancy and in an old wendys. That's about it

An Indian culinary delight! We came here on a whim Saturday afternoon and so glad we did. The food was amazing! I usually don't like the green mint sauce or the raita but here...I loved them! I tried the Chicken Pakora, Vegetable Samosa, Pani Puri, Chicken Tikka Masala Bhiryani, Bullet Garlic Naan, and Gulabjaman. The Chicken Pakora was like the best Indian chicken nugget you could have. The meat was juicy and seasoned as was the breading. The Vegetable Samosa was packed full of filling and perfectly fried. The Pani Puri was just ok (I don't know how they should be, so the could be absolutely amazing but they just weren't amazing to me and don't call me back to them). The Bullet Garlic Naan was packed with flavor and paired so well with their raita. The Gulabjaman was great and was a lovely dessert. The Chicken Tikka Masala Bhiryani was amazing. Let's start with the portion size. It was large enough for two to eat all they wanted and still take more than half home! It was a large serving! But its sheer bigness isn't all. It was SO DELICIOUS! The chicken was flavored and juicy, the rice fluffy...it was everything it needed to be plus more. The service was also pleasant and very accommodating. I'm so ecstatic you have found this restaurant and can't wait to try other dishes. read more

I've ordered biryani from Turmeric several times now, and it's by far one of the best in the area. The flavors are authentic, well-balanced, and consistently satisfying. What really stands out is the inclusion of raita and achar. That extra touch brings back fond memories of family home-cooked biryani and makes the experience feel complete. The food quality has been excellent with every order, and the overall dining experience is solid and reliable. One small suggestion would be to consider using to-go boxes with an aluminum liner or another healthier packaging option for takeout orders, as the food really deserves packaging that preserves its quality. Overall, this is authentic, comforting food done right. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real biryani. read more

I love this place! I have lunch here often because of the value, the service, and the fantastic quality of everything I eat here. I usually get the butter chicken lunch special, and it is crazy good. There is a great sampler plate they give you for the lunch special, with a couple soups, a side, some tandoori chicken, and something sweet to finish. It is so much food, I always take some of it home, and the leftovers are perhaps even better! The appetizers are also yummy and plentiful, you can get delicious, affordable Indian food here, served with a smile! The staff here NEVER disappoints! read more

Ordered them on DoorDash and had the dal tadka, butter chicken and saag paneer. All to die for and loved the garlic naan. The dal is excellent and reminds me of something I had at Haveli sadly now closed so this will be my go to. A bit more expensive than Vatica but worth trying a new spot. read more

It sure smells good when you walk in. I had high expectations. If you have no affinity for Indian food, you'd likely enjoy your meal. I was under-whelmed. Condiments, pungent and tasty. Papadum light and crisp. Deviating from our usual, we ordered mixed appetizers, in essence a plate of fried indistinguishable wee-wees. You're best served getting samosas. They're pretty good. In placing my order, I indicated my expectations for chicken tikka kabob: succulent and well-marinated. The chicken arrived in small chunks -- already a tip-off -- with the undersides burnt, minimal flavor, and dry. Nope! T, who generally orders lamb vindaloo, compared his to an excellent takeout place in my neighborhood. The vindaloo at Tumeric wasn't as good, but the sauce, which I tried, was okay. Basmati rice tasted like Uncle Ben's. Wouldn't necessarily know that it's basmati. A gentleman -- likely the owner -- stopped at our table. "That looks delicious!" he said. I nicely told him where my dish fell short. He smiled and walked away. With a growing number of Indian restaurants in the area, it behooves proprietors to step up their game to stay competitive. Our server -- a really nice fellow -- indicated that things will be better when we return. I felt badly telling him that for me, it's a one-shot deal. read more

My love for Indian food continues.. I ordered takeout tarka dal and garlic naan. I asked for 3/4 on spice and it was perfect. This dal was better than others I've had recently. The whole spices and herbs really came through. That punchiness is mellowed perfectly by the fluffy rice and stretchy naan. read more

very tasty and not auto spicy for my spouse. Lunch was perfect with a paneer, appetizers and a salad! Yum - he will return

I was a little skeptical rolling up on this place and seeing the storefront. I was at first worried that it was going to be some type of chain takeout type situation. To my surprise inside was actually a dine in restaurant filled with local families. Always a good sign. My waitress was very kind and this place definitely gives family business vibes. LOVE Their menu is extensive, breaking out vegetarian as well as meat inspired dishes and providing lots of options for various appetizers, entrees and specials if you want a little bit of everything. I went with an order of vegetable samosas which were tasty. The crust was perfect and the potato and pee filling was substantial, although a little bit under seasoned for my liking. They came served with the trio of sauces, the usual tamarind, cilantro mixture and some pickled onions. For my entree I had the lamb korma with basmati rice and an order of naan. The lamb was tender and flavorful. I ordered it at spice level three which the waitress said was 'hot'. It was perfect for the occasion. Got a glass of Sauvignon blanc to wash it down. If anything the wine list was a bit disappointing. I'm used to more rieslings, and a gewurztraminer on the menu to pair with Indian curries and spices. For a dessert, I ordered the pistachio kalfi which was tasty and just the right portion after a very filling meal. Portions are substantial and I had enough to take home and have for lunch and dinner the next day (with a side salad). Staff was kind and did not bother me as I read my book while eating. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Marietta. read more

I've been looking forward to trying this restaurant out. The exterior looks like it used to be a fast food restaurant with the drive through lanes and windows. The entrance was not very clear because of that. It still has the two side entrances from the previous fast food restaurant instead of one main entrance of a typical restaurant. When we first walked in, we were told there would be a little bit of a wait despite several empty tables. I'm assuming it was because they weren't able to handle full capacity. We decided to sit in the waiting area. However, the smell from the bathroom was overwhelmingly gross. It smelled like we were in a porta-potty. So we had to move. Once we sat down, we looked through the extensive menu. It was a very long menu that took a while to look through. I'm glad they offer so many dishes, but it's very difficult to read through, especially since we don't know what most of the items are, so we would also have to read through all of the descriptions, which we didn't because it would've taken too long. One of the things I didn't like about the seating was that we were seated right between the two entrances. So every time someone opened the doors, a huge gust of cold air came in and it was very cold at night. I would like to see them add double doors to prevent that from happening. We ended up ordering the Dinner for 2. There was plenty of food that comes with it. You each get a soup, which I thought tasted good. There was a hint of coconut flavor to it, but I can't remember the name of it. There were several entrees and I enjoyed each of them. We also tried the Garlic Naan which was very good. The wait staff was very nice and came to check on us often. I asked one of the them for any recommendations on the appetizers, but he said he didn't have any recommendations for us. Not exactly what I like to hear. At the very least I would've liked to have heard what his favorite dish was. We then asked another lady and she was able to give us a couple of recommendations on the menu. Overall, I thought the food was decent, the portions were very good, and everyone was kind and polite. However, because of the aforementioned issues, I would have to give them 3 stars. I don't think I would want to dine in again, but I might try take out next time. read more

Went here for the first time today. The food was just ok, not really the flavors I would expect from Indian food. I ordered the veg thali with the saag paneer. The paneer was not seasoned at all. It was just plain paneer dropped in the saag. The chicken that we got was good, although the drumstick that was given was very small. However I thought that was the best thing I tried and it didn't even come with the veg thali I ordered. I don't know if I would be back.. I think there are some other places I would prefer to get Indian food. read more

Turmeric Indian Restaurant - Veg thali (half eaten) - Indian Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This place looks familiar because I was here before, back when it was a Wendy's. It's so much better now. The interior has been remodeled and is well decorated and comfortable. The staff is friendly and attentive. And the food is delicious. Huge portions guarantee a few containers of take-home food for tomorrow's lunch. And the prices are totally reasonable. Careful of the spice levels -- anyone who is unfamiliar with Indian spices may regret going as high as 3 out of 5, but if you do, it's WORTH THE PAIN. So tasty. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

I'm under the impression that the best area to search for Indian food is the eastern suburbs of Atlanta, but I was headed north so I stopped here. They have a lunch thali, and while the options when I got there were a little different than what was on their website, that was a heck of a thali. First off, I got a papadum and some chutneys, including some spicy pickled peppers. Then, when my platter arrived, it was tough to even get it into a photo. Not only did it have the saag paneer I ordered, with some hot peppers mixed in to match my spice level request, but it had lentils, soup, rice, bread, a carrot-based dessert, a few fresh vegetables, and (with me having been disappointed that okra was not offered as a choice) some okra as the vegetable of the day. Look at that platter! For the $12 I spent on it, I would struggle to get a veggie burger and fries or a quality build-a-bowl for lunch, but here, I got an absolute feast, with all the variety and the bright fresh flavors that I could want. Ordering a chai got me a spiced and unsweetened beverage (sugar was at the table but I deferred), which was hardly necessary given how stuffed I was on the actual food. While the place was clean and empty when I arrived at the beginning, a large work group arrived and ordered everything and the smaller tables started to fill up around them. The larger group was led by someone who was casually talking about his homemade dosas and the rules of the cricket game showing on several TVs, so he clearly knew his stuff, as do I. We agree that this place is quality. read more
