Went for a meal of 16 of us last night. Good food but they hid the service charge under the edge of menu so couldn't see that! Then bought out 27 worth of poppadoms and expected us to pay for them! Something wasn't right with the bill as we all added up and it still didn't match. Won't be going again.

Have been visiting the Turmeric Gold for around 10 years, in the past service was a bit slow sometimes but always worth the wait as the food is amazing, more recently there is more staff and the service is spot on with the food just as good, highly recommended

After hearing good things about the place, we went new years eve, unfortunately we wont be going again, although the food we couldn't fault, really nice. The service was shocking, not once did anyone come to our table to take any orders without being asked 2/3'times, and when they were taken a couple of times they were forgotten and we was left waiting, the main dishes arrived and the waiter just put the food on the table, without clearing the starters and we was told to pass the dishes along the table . To top it off when the bill arrived, prices had been increased which were different from the

Wont be going back- The Bill was played with!! Be careful in a big group! 17 for 10 poppadoms and one tray of condiments !!!!!! Yes it was New Years Eve but we spent the whole evening asking, there was no pro-active service.
Drinks were forgotten many times lost count, dishes missing and one waiter was quite rude when serving. Food couldnt fault and some polite waiters there but service very poor! Also exceptionally pricey we were shocked when the bill camethings had been added and increased!
Wont be going back cant trust the pricing!
