Review on Turmeric Gold

Occupying a 400-year-old building in Coventry's medieval quarter, Turmeric Gold is gaining fame as one of the most flamboyant and popular Indian restaurants in the city. It's also ideally located a stone's throw from the Belgrade Theatre and the Skydome Arena.

The long menu stops off for tandooris, baltis and biryanis, and also makes room for specialities including South Indian chicken 'coconut chilli', lamb khatta masala with lemon and tamarind, and Goan green korma. In addition, the kitchen offers a selection of 'fusion' dishes inspired by other Far Eastern cuisines: look for crab spring rolls and the oriental king prawn stir-fry with roasted cashews and crispy cabbage in a honey-based sauce. There's a second branch in nearby Meriden.
