So, they do have a full beffet even during the week. We did not do the buffet just because ita usually safer for me as a Celiac to order what I want directly. As you can see though, it wasnt busy, so the buffet woukd also have been fine.

I really enjoyed this cocktail in particular, I would have actually ordered ttwo, but I was getting spiced for my life by the food because I told them to make it hot.

 The last stop on this food tour I started so long ago "That's So Sarasota" is going to be Turmeric Indian Bar and Grill.

 Turmeric has the typical dishes which represent the culture of India; such as Biryani, Dosa, and Tandoori chicken.

They bring a nice addition to the Sarasota dining scene. The food was awesome as well as the cocktail I had.

We had the following:

Butter chicken

Daal Tadka

Tomato Rassam soup

Lamb Roghan Josh

Basmati Rice

Paneer Pakora (not GF)

served with a side of chutneys.

So, overall this was a really nice restaurant and it definitely meets our expectations for great Indian food. They have a large menu and they have a lot of things we both routinely order so that means we would be back again. I didn't get a chance to show all of the building, but this place is very very nice and they have a whole second floor as well as a large bar area. Its located downtown in the Arts district which is usually where we like to stay as well. 

I wanted so badly to ask if the Dosa could be made gluten-free because I havent had Dosas in so long and I love them. Anyhow, the portion sizes were pretty good and we had leftovers. I was only surprised at the total bill, they deem themselves "fine dining" so I think the prices are a little higher than other restaurants. For example the Daal Tadka was 19.00 and a lot of places its like in between 12 and 13.00$.

Overall, the food was very very good and I was very impressed with my overall experience.

Now we have a second place in Sarasota to get Indian food.
