Turmeric in Bristol

I was a regular local customer and enjoyed the food until the beginning of March 2022.The problem lies solely on the waiter at the restaurant.One day I came in at 5pm as the first customer in the restaurant and I expressed a preference for a particular seat. The rude waiter told (not asked) me to sit in a specific seat he chose for ‘his’ convenience. I told him politely that I didn’t want to sit there because it was by the door and didn’t want to catch a cold from the draught.He then told me to “leave”. Shocked I asked why. He said because there was a booking at 7pm. Given that I arrived just after 5pm I obviously didn’t intend to stay for 2 hours! He didn’t listen and ignored me and went back his seat and played on his phone.Angry and frustrated I tried to contact the manager of the restaurant but without luck since it was always him that picked up the phone. He was effectively preventing me from contacting the manager.This particular waiter has been very rude in the past (eg not acknowledging requests and never expressing gratitude after we had paid) but I wanted to turn a blind eye because I was with my wife.To the manager, if you read this. Please replace him. For one, I won’t be coming back and I’m sure other customers won’t appreciate his dire attitude and rudeness which will definitely drive business away without your knowledge.

Nice, but portion sizes are very small on the vegetable sides...

I was recommended by a work colleague so I thought I give you ago .My order was over £50 deliveryKing prawns cost me £15 for 5 shockingI also ordered lamb tikka madras I had 5 pieces lamb,wife rang up to complain to be told there were 7 pieces shocking and laughable.I also ordered rice ,nan, onion baji,mix grill as a starter and another main .it wasn't the best,It's first and last time I be using you .I wouldn't recommend you to anyone .your staff is rude and your food is to poor standard.i could do better myself.

Amazing food as always. We have been going here for at least 2 years and we’ve had one problem in that time. Wasn’t a issue and Fantastically dealt with. Staff look after you well and are incredibly friend. Don’t listen to that horrible person in the restaurant tonight you are fab

Opted for collection of the order and on entering the takeaway was greeted with "Name?". Let them know I was here to collect - taking advantage of the 10% off - and they handed me the food without any more words.Took the food home and was disappointed, my partner and I ordered Samosas, vegetable and meat, cut them open and couldn't tell the difference, my chicken roll was dry, and probably heated from frozen. The sylhet (lamb) was interesting, couldn't even work out if there was meat in it, and the vegetable Rogan Josh was mostly packed with frozen veg and onions. Wouldn't go back, wouldn't recommend and would advise to stay away at all costs.

Disappointed with customer service. Waiter was rude and tried to tell us we had to order mains, when all we wanted was a few side dishes to nibble on. He then proceeded to tell us it was because of the eat out to help out scheme, saying it was a rule that each customer had to buy one main each. This is absolutely not true but him saying this put pressure on us to buy more food and spend more money. We therefore had lots of food left over and when we asked to take it home, he tried to charge us 50p per dish!!!No atmosphere or vibe here, not even a thank you and goodbye when we left.Really disappointed.The food was OK, quite on the oily side so we won't be returning.

Cosy, busy place, full bar, but most importantly though, pretty good food at a good price (2x rice, 2x curry, 1x side, 1x naan, poppadoms, 1x beer, 1x coke £36 ish).

My friend and I visited Turmeric weekend gone for the first time in years, never the most outstanding restaurant but always a decent meal with friendly staff. Unfortunately this time one of the dishes was only warm and a dark hair was found in another. When I complained they were apologetic at first but said it must be my hair (I'm grey so unlikely). When I mentioned none of their kitchen staff were wearing hair covering they actually got quite unfriendly and I felt like they were mocking me.We did pay as I actually felt quite intimidated but will certainly be going to one of the many other Indian restaurants next time.

This is the most disgusting restaurant I have ever had the displeasure of eating in. Our waiter started clearing away our food before we had finished saying that they closed at 11pm (it wasn’t yet 11pm). Then after a second rude episode we told him, In a reasonable way, that we felt he was being rude. That’s when all hell broke loose. He became aggressive, confrontational and physically intimidating. The level of aggression shown towards me and my friend was utterly abusive and disgusting. When I tried to film an audio of the situation (because I honestly couldn’t believe what I was witnessing) the waiter then snatched the phone out of my hand and became even more verbally abusive. When I asked to speak to the manager a voice from a man standing in the corner said “I am” then stood back and did absolutely nothing. Do not eat here! Unless verbal abuse, intimidation and confrontation is what you enjoy with an evening meal. I cannot say it any clearer. Do not eat here!

Had a good meal last night, unfortunately my wife forgot some Christmas and Birthday cards and left them on the table. They started clearing as we left so none of the customers (only 2 other tables a distance away) would have accessed the table. My wife returned there this evening and the Birthday card was opened, the £40 inside had gone missing. The staff denied any knowledge and were very unhelpful. I then joined her to make sure she (and myself) remained calm, only to be told to leave as we were trespassing. When we refused until the matter was sorted they called the Police and informed us we would be arrested for trespassing. Absolutely shocking. They refused to accept that the member of staff would have taken the money (although they couldn't get hold of him) and were extremely rude and condescending to my wife (calling her 'love') which I had to stand and watch, having to remain calm so as not to give them any ammunition for the Police. Absolutely disgusted - the member of staff was immediately at the table so no-one else could have taken the money. Plenty of Indian Restaurants about who would have called and said you'd left stuff on the table. Don't leave anything behind!
