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

I usually get the lunch special and it's the perfect amount for a good price. The chicken vindaloo and Chana masala is also great. I must try the chicken chili next time. Everytime I've been (4+ times) the chicken is juicy and not dry. The mango lassi is so refreshing as well. When you order to go it doesn't take that long which is nice and the staff is always so friendly.

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.

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.

I can just be silent & enjoy the ambience. The music, chatter, smells of cooking foods, & decorations are nice.

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.

I had another favorite Indian restaurant but this one is for sure my new favorite place. Ever since…read moreI was recommended this place, I haven't stopped coming. I've also been recommending this place to my family and friends so that alone should say a lot. I love their onion and spinach pakoras, mango lassi, lentil soup that comes with the lunch option, and basically everything else I have tried on their menu which is a lot. I simply can't put into words how amazing their food is. As well as for their service, I would say pretty immaculate. I always look forward to coming here because I know good customer service awaits from all the staff I come in contact with. As well, this place in general is very up kept, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't get any better than this! Trust me.

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!!!

The Plot stakes their claim on being vegetable-forward garden-to-table cuisine, harvesting as much if their ingredients from their own land behind the restaurant and the rest from local growers. The difference is quality is clear and striking, as is the undeniable finesse in which it's dispatched. Each plate I witnessed emerging from the kitchen seemed even more beautiful than the last. Those compositions are as thoughtfully created as the layers of flavor they contain. Never before would I have though to pair peaches with dill on top of French toast, but somehow, they pull it off. I've also never have battered and fried French toast, with resoundingly crispy edges encasing a custardy center within, and now I fear I may have a hard time going back to the typical pan-sear. And the bread itself. Oh, the bread! Across the board, some of the best bread I've had all year. If I had my wits about me I would have asked to buy a loaf, but by the time I finished eating I was clearly food-drunk. I got the shakshuka and the thick triangles of toasted and salted focaccia absolutely stole the show. Their vegan poached egg was delightful, creatively utilizing yellow bell pepper to fashion the yolk, but like I said: the bread. I cannot stop thinking about the bread.

What a cool concept!!! Literally farm to table... well, farm parking lot to table. But still,…read morealmost everything you'll have in your plate is from there on site in organic garden beds and massive planters (anything not grown there is bought from local organic farms). Fresh veggies and herbs are artfully blended to make these delicious and nutritious meals. We shared a few plates, the panko-crusted eggplant with smoky baba ganoush was amazing! The Caesar salad seemed like it could be basic, uh, nope. The "fried chicken" (soy) with the zesty lemony dressing was bright and made my tastebuds do a little happy dance! The French toast, oh-em-gee-willakers! Yes. A thousand times yes. What nice is it's real vegan food, but weird meat or egg substitutions that have weird additives and ingredients. No junk fillers, just veggies, legumes and plants. Server was so sweet, chatting us up on the concept and staff, chefs, etc. It's like the Trader Joe's of vegan restaurants.
