Turmeric is a hidden gem in Delmar Loop! The décor and restaurant space itself is a vibe. One whole side is the modern bar and the other half are booths. They use ingredients that are fresh, local, and seasonally available and it certainly reflects in the food. The menu is a mix of traditional recipes showcasing the diversity of cuisine in India itself. The modern presentation makes everything on the menu exciting to try. There were not many front-of-house staff members at lunch but that's totally fine because we still got individualized attention from our server who we think might have also been the bartender or a manager. He was very nice and helpful with answering our questions. We each ordered their lunch combo which included choice of curries, soup or samosa, naan, and rice. What a great lunch deal for 14 dollars! I eat Indian food a few times a month and this was an awesome opportunity to try a variety of dishes. Delicious! read more

Great lunch experience with friends at Turmeric today. Tons of vegan options. Thakkali Rasam Broth soup to start with cocktail samosas. Soup was spicy and flavorful. Dipped the samosas in the soup. Madhuban Ke Chole entree. So good that I am about to have the rest of it as an afternoon snack right now. Will be back, for sure. read more

I was happy we were able to try Tumeric before they closed for dinner service. Service was fast and it wasn't busy at the time we went on a Monday midday. It's a beautiful restaurant and has a nice bar area with additional seating as well. The food had great flavor and great spice. There are seafood options for those who don't eat meat. And the naan was also very tasty! I look forward to visiting again. read more

The food was great and went beyond standard fare. I had a delicious paneer briyani. The naan was wonderful. This is the Indian restaurant the St Louis area has desperately needed. The restura t offers curries, briyanis, and dosas! Only (small) bone is that it took a long time for us to get our check after we were done, even though the waiter had helped us to package our leftovers. read more

I haven't been to Tumeric in years due to not having a great experience but decided to try it again. We did not start off smoothly as my husband spilled his water on the table and we couldn't find anyone to assist with cleaning it up. But it got better as the night went on. Prior to going I had looked at the menu and gotten some food suggestions. I ordered the mango lassi to drink due to reviews and it was delicious. For appetizer we got the golgappa and chicken lollipops. Really liked the green sauce with the golgappa. Chicken lollipops were delicious as well. I wanted to try a dosa so the waiter suggested the truffle masala dosa and it was delicious. My parents are from Pakistan and it reminded me of something my mom makes. I was super full by this point but had to order the butter chicken. I got it extra spicy and it was delicious. Husband got the lamb chops and they were delicious as well. We ended up taking home a lot of leftovers, but they were soo good reheated. The restaurant itself is a little funky when you first walk in. The place to wait is pretty tiny. The restaurant itself is spacious with lots of tables and a large bar. I will def go again and try some more food! read more

Great service, incredible food. Cozy vibe with good lighting. I got the garlic naan, butter chicken, and chicken masala dosa.

Overall, a really great option for Indian food that has unique flavors and is a cut above other Indian restaurants in the area. Food: every time I've been here the food has always been good. The currys have a distinct and powerful flavor to them that is unlike many other Indian options in St. Louis. Unfortunately, they didn't have dosa when I was there, but I would love to try that next. I had the old Delhi butter chicken, and it hit the spot. Service: the service has always been pretty good. They were accommodating and helpful. No complaints. Ambience: I really like the art and style of this restaurant. It has soft, warm, lighting and modern art and architecture. A really nice place to be in. read more

I went here a bit ago with a large group of friends and thought it was great. Normally going out with a lot of people, especially around ten can be very stressful, but this place made it easy. It's so calm and has good food; really makes for a good place to eat and talk and with friends. read more

We were recommended this place by some friends and were not disappointed! The menu has sooo many options and lots of vegan/vegetarian choices too which is amazing. They had some different options than just the basics I usually get from most Indian places so we ordered quite a few things. Everything came out pretty fast and was super flavorful and delicious. The presentation was so pretty too and seemed like all the food and drinks had care and time put into it. Our server was great as well (Umesh) he was really attentive and provided great service through the whole dining experience. Definitely a hidden gem and will be returning! read more

I enjoyed the food at Tumeric overall but I found it a little plain. I'm a vegetarian so maybe the meat dishes are more flavorful. That said, the portions were large and filling. The atmosphere was nice, casual but nice lighting and lots of booth tables available Kind, very attentive staff. read more

Great Indian restaurant, especially if you love spicy food! Love the chill music vibes and atmosphere inside. Even though it was a Thursday night, the restaurant was quite busy (which is always a good sign!). We had a reservation and the service was pretty fast. - Pineapple Mojito: 8/10 on the sweeter side, but not too sweet or strong - Chicken Lollipop: 9/10 absolutely yummy, melts in you - Tanjore Lamb Chop Masala: 9/10 yummy as well, comes with a lot of masala that can be paired with naan or rice - Garlic Naan: 10/10 soft, fresh, perfect amount of garlic, delicious! - Tiger Shrimp Biryani: 9/10 on the spicier side, came out fresh and soft - Double Ka Meeta: 6/10 alright, but not my favorite bread pudding read more

I lived in India many years in the Peace Corps, so I have 60 years of appreciating Indian food. The food here was excellent. Their starter mint sauce with Papadom was perfect and their Achar (mixed pickled veggies) was the best I've ever had. My wife liked her chicken tikka masala. I don't eat meat, so Dal Tadkha (turmeric lentils) is one of my favorites. It was delicious although it was a little more watery than I like. Overall, I strongly recommend this restaurant. read more

Turmeric NEVER disappoints. It's also possible that I love Indian food. I love FLAVOR and Indian food tends to have so many seasonings and flavor that I'm not familiar with. Unfortunately I didn't get photos of my favorite, Chicken 65 Buzele, apparently it's level 65 spicy, it was delicious, recommended by the server. I do have photos of the Turmeric special lamb chops, they were OK. A dry rub, with rice and spinach on the plate. We had a party of 5, so we really had food everywhere. The meat eaters also got a Chicken Biryani it was very good, but came at the end when we were full already. We will enjoy the leftovers I'm sure. Definitely make a reservation if you are going to check this place out! We got right in and there were people waiting in the tiny vestibule all evening. read more

Tumeric is one of my absolute favorite Indian restaurants in St. Louis!! This restaurant is conveniently located along the Delmar Loop. They offer a lunch menu and a dinner menu, and I have gone multiple times since I moved to St. Louis. Today, I went specifically for dinner. Their dinner menu features salads, small plates, various dosa courses, entrees, breads, and drinks. While I did not order a drink today, I would recommend the Masala Chai which has an earthy flavor or the Mango Lassi which is a sweet mango flavored yogurt drink. Today I ordered my usual dish - Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan Bread. This dish was delicious and the portion size served was very generous. The flavors of the sauce, rice, and naan bread all blended very well together. The garlic naan bread was baked to perfection with the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. The chicken tikka masala sauce was very flavorful. I could taste the blended spices in the sauce as well as smell the wonderful aroma of it. This dish definitely felt like it took hours and hours of preparation to make. I was also so happy when I had leftovers to take home! Overall, I love coming here and definitely consider this restaurant as one of my favorite spots in St. Louis! read more

Great ambience. Okay service. Didn't wait too long. Ample parking space in the back. Imo it's quite pricey for the amount of chicken we get. But great presentation. Samosas aren't super small. I'd prefer normal size one. Overall tastes are just average. We do love the mango spicy condiment. I do like Indian restaurant addition to Delmar. read more

Turmeric is one of our favorite places to eat at in Delmar Loop! Their food is flavorful and delicious - you can ask them to up the spice as you'd like as well! We started first with the kale and palak chaat, with is basically fried bits of kale and spinach, covered in bhel so it's very crunchy and light - not spicy. We wished it had less Bhel and more tamarind, chutney, and yogurt sauce but maybe next time! Their main entrees include a healthy serving of rice - we got the chicken tikka masala at an 8/10 spice level and loved it. The curry was flavorful, warm, the chicken was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed it with both garlic naan and the rice. We will definitely come again soon- thanks Team Turmeric! read more

I think I may be partial I really like Indian Cuisine, so that will always be a treat for me I liked the food, it was very good, to me it was great, but I can't say that I am the most Knowledgeable when it comes to Indian cuisine, I just know that I like it very much, at the moment, it is my favorite cuisine I ordered Naan which was great (so far, I haven't experienced Naan that I didn't like) Wasn't the best I have ever had, yet still very good. Enjoyable I also had the Chicken Biriyani, a wonderful dish, but I wouldn't say it is adventurous, and I can say the Biriyani I had was also enjoyable. I put it that way, because their may be other people that are very experienced in Indian Cuisine, to the point of being a connoisseur, that wouldn't be me, I am just a fan Ambience - Beautiful Restaurant. Very Clean, very nice atmosphere. Service - Very Good. Very polite server, and I thought the way some of the dishes came out was a very good experience Overall, I liked the restaurant very much, it was a place that I would enjoy going to again read more

Ambiance: small, manageable. Really nice decor! Service: this was the only reason it got 4 stars versus 5! We went for lunch and we had to wait to be seated stood up there for about 15 minutes with no acknowledgment before someone finally came over to seat us. That was not the best, however, once we were set down everything went smoothly. Also, they don't serve cocktails during lunch on Saturdays and said we could only get beer or wine../but they only had white wine (I prefer ) so that was a damper, but the food made up for most of it. Food: the food was so good. A lot of wonderful flavors. The chicken biryani was mixed very well and the bowl was deep that I thought so the serving is hefty. The non-veg sampler was the best thing in the menu if you don't really know what to get. We tried both the regular naan and the garlic naan....and omg!! I could have ate the garlic naan as a meal! The Mango Lassai was also very creamy and tasty and could easily be used as a dessert drink. read more

Tumeric is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. We have been here numerous times, and we were always happy with the quality of food and service here after each visit. The wait staffs have been friendly and welcoming. Tumeric provided a pleasant and soothing ambience in addition to comfy booth seatings. They sold out of chicken 65 tonight, so my partner got the Kale Palak Chaat. This was an interesting dish where kales was disguised in a yummy way - crispy and flavorful. We also got Truffle Potato Masala Dosa and Butter Chicken. We tried a few places served Dosa in STL but Tumeric's Dosa is the best! I highly recommended the Dosa here. Basically, Dosa is a thin, crispy, Indian style crepe made from fermented rice and lentil batter - definitely a vegan friendly item. You can pick your own fillings such as potato/egg/chicken or lamb. My favorite is the potato filling. Their butter chicken served with Basmati rice on the side was finger licking good!!!! The sauce was very buttery/creamy, and the chicken was very moist. It's even better when warm fresh Garlic Naan dip in the sauce. Highly recommend!!! read more

Kudos and hats off to the chef (we literally thank and met the chef) and the staffs of turmeric in St. Louis. This was my first time in St. Louis and wanted to try something different my friends were Craving some authentic Indian food and we all agreed that their menus didn't disappoint the tikka masala chicken melts in my mouth the sauce was mild and just the right spice if only I live close by I will box the sauce and take it back with me I wish there is a branch in Seattle I don't know if I will be back in St. Louis but if for some reason I rerun to STL I sure will visit this place again for those who will see my review pls do stop by and support their restaurant and try their food the portions were reasonable, the mango lassi was delicious and all their meal are halal the staff were very friendly and lovely people. Thank you for the food and service the ambiance is pleasant. read more

Like foreal. The Tikka chicken here is sooooo goooddddd. The garlic Naan Bread is too!! this is literallyyyyyyy the spot I come to when I'm craving tikka masala, butter chicken or curry chicken. It's always hot and fresh. The only thing that I can gripe about is the serving size of the chicken; there's usually only about 4 big chunks of chicken and that I wish it came with some vegetables in the Tikka sauce. But the sauce and chicken is always cooked to perfection and piping hot. This last time that I came, the host was so patient with me as I was trying to figure out my to go order. read more
