" I was initially drawn to The Turmeric Kitchen due to its unique focus on Bengali dishes. However, my experience did not live up to the hype. The food was decent but lacked the robust flavors I associate with authentic Bengali cooking. The service was also underwhelming, with long wait times for food and a somewhat inattentive staff. While the environment is cozy, the food is where this restaurant falls short. I might give it another try down the line, but I’m in no rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking for authentic Bengali cuisine, and The Turmeric Kitchen is the place to go. The Mackerel Paturi was among the best dishes I've ever had. It was flavorful with just the right amount of mustard and spices. The ambiance is cozy, though I felt rushed at times due to the crowd. The service was good, but they seemed understaffed. Nonetheless, a great dining option if you love Bengali food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant brings a slice of Bengali heritage to the Pacific Northwest! We relished their signature dishes: the Momos and Fish Cutlet were standout appetizers, and I was particularly impressed by the freshness of ingredients. The only downside was a longer wait time for our main dishes, but the flavors made it worth the wait. Can't wait to return with friends for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here was a mixed bag for me. The food had promise but fell short in execution. I tried their Mutton Biryani—it was decent but not quite authentic. I was expecting it to pack that punch of spices I love. The wait staff were kind but overwhelmed, which might explain the slow service. The atmosphere is homey, but if you’re looking for a fine-dining experience, this isn’t it. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried The Turmeric Kitchen last weekend, and it was a delightful experience. The food was authentic Bengali with huge portions that filled us up nicely! I have to give a special mention to the Gur Rosgulla, which was perfectly sweet and a nice ending to our meal. The atmosphere is inviting, and the decor adds to the overall experience. I did notice the service could be improved, as drinks took longer to be served, but I'll definitely be back for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Turmeric Kitchen during a Sunday afternoon, eager to try their renowned mutton biryani. While I enjoyed the dish, I must say that the portion size was a bit less than I expected, especially for the price. The biryani had a lovely aroma, but it didn't quite match the authentic flavors I remember from home. The service, however, was polite and friendly, which made the dining experience pleasant. Overall, I would consider coming back, but I wish there were some improvements in the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely one of the best spots for Bengali food in the area. I ordered the Biryani and thought it was fantastic. The mutton was seasoned well, and the rice was fluffy. As someone who loves this kind of cuisine, I found it rather authentic compared to other places I’ve tried. The service was friendly, making you feel at home. The only downside was a slight delay in food preparation, but the flavors made up for it. I will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
