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.

And at $11.99 for lunch (that lasts me two meals) well you just can't beat it. Not at this quality.

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!!!

To be honest we were searching out another eatery, but we happened upon this place, and thought…read moretheir menu was more interesting. The vibe here is quite relaxing, and the decor is very East Asian. Neantha was gracious, and very kind about meeting our dietary requests. They have a nice lunch special with two entrees, lentil soup, rice and Naan, $13.95. I chose the lamb curry for $2.00 extra along with the chicken vindaloo. We also ordered the lentil wafers appetizer. All the food was delicious, and the spice level of medium was quite nice. There were few people as it was a Tuesday afternoon. We felt special being the only ones after a large party of women departed. The bill came to $36.00 with tax and tip, very reasonable. I am often pleasantly surprised by the surprisingly good food one can find in a strip mall. Do not overlook this dining experience.

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

The average 5-star review is suspicious unless a takeaway experience differs from the dine-in…read moreexperience. Even on our way out, I heard a conflict regarding a takeaway order. My family chose Himalayan Taste because it's a Nepalese / Nepali restaurant which also serves Indian dishes. (Yes, there are nuances between the cuisines. We enjoyed both restaurants in Manchester.) When we arrived on a Sat, slightly earlier than the dinner rush hour, the restaurant was pleasantly filled. I like when people support locally-owned businesses in the neighborhood. We didn't wait long to be seated at a table, get ice water, and place our order. The waiter even asked what spice level (1 mild to 10 hottest) we wanted for each dish; he also asked (with a slightly testy tone) if we wanted a drink other than water. A plain lassi, why not? Then the rush arrived. Our order arrived, plus basmati rice - which we didn't order b/c we have a low-carb plan. The jalfrezi and vindaloo were mild, despite ordering a level 8 heat. The saag ordered to level 5 was actually hotter. :D Based on a blood sugar level the following morning, we suspect sugar. (Indian and Nepali cooks in England have told us sugar = cheating / manipulation of authentic cooking.) The restaurant is under-staffed. Water refills were infrequent. Our waiter didn't check on us. The lassi was never served; at least it wasn't charged to our tab. By the entrance, people were waiting for tables as we waited for the check so we could free up a table... as another (empty) table waited to be bussed. The upside: The food was slightly flavorful and pricing is relatively affordable, but we won't return.

Not just any Indian/Himalayan restaurant, but also a Balti House! Balti is an especially spicy style first made popular in the UK amongst the Indian diaspora. My taste for the style was started by a long closed spot in Hollywood on Sunset. While many Indian restaurants exist, for some reason, Balti is as rare as places with Dosai, perhaps more rare. I chose the house Balti special with basmati and naan, and everything came out as I hoped. The (by request) medium plus heat level was dialed in perfectly. A runny nose is the first indicator of success in my experience. It was so good I ate it all! I also really liked the presentation of the entrée. Next time I'll explore more than just Balti, but it really awakened old memories and taste buds. Great work!
