Why I tried turmeric indian place
Was scrolling food pics last Tuesday when turmeric ads kept popping up. That bright yellow curry got me curious – figured hey why not give it a shot? Plus that “health benefits” tag made me raise eyebrows. Grabbed my keys and drove straight to their downtown spot.
What went down inside
Walked into this dimly lit joint smelling like a spice bomb exploded. Ordered their sampler platter like the server suggested. Got:
- Tiny bowl of yellow soup called dal
- Chicken chunks swimming in orange sauce
- Flatbread with weird black dots
- Some minty green chutney
Took first bite of chicken curry – my tongue did backflips! Not painful spicy but warm kinda tingle. That turmeric taste? Like earthy dirt but in a good way. Kept eating though – texture was smooth and weirdly comforting.
The health stuff I noticed
Felt super full after but not that gross food coma. Next morning? No bloating like I get from burgers. Did quick phone research while sipping coffee:
- Turns out turmeric fights inflammation (explains why my creaky knee felt better)
- Helps digestion (no heartburn even after spicy food)
- Boosts immunity (felt energetic despite rainy weather)
Checked ingredients later – most dishes had that golden powder mixed in sauces or sprinkled on lentils.
My takeaway
Went back Friday because craving that warm curry feeling. This time tried their turmeric latte – tasted like spicy milk but grew on me. Honestly the health perks are legit bonus but real reason? Comfort food that doesn’t wreck your gut. Saw businessmen eating alone reading newspapers – that’s how you know it’s good stuff. Give it a shot if your stomach feels off or you’re tired of basic chicken dinners.
