Best Indian food in a historic setting

Apr 2024 • business

The Kurkuma is located in a beautiful, historic half-timbered building in Schloß Neuhaus. In a very pleasant atmosphere with open half-timbering, excellent, friendly service serves excellent Indian specialties. The menu also includes numerous vegetarian and vegan dishes. Thanks to a small selection of fine wines, wine lovers will also get their money's worth here. When the weather is good, there is a quiet beer garden behind the house. In short, the Kurkuma is probably the best Indian restaurant in Paderborn (and the surrounding area).

A culinary experience at Kurkuma 400

Jun 2024 • family

I had the pleasure of dining at Kurkuma 400 and it was one of the best dining experiences of my life. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately gives you a feeling of coziness. **Ambience and service:** The ambience is tastefully designed. The soft lighting and quiet background music add to the relaxed atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Our every wish was anticipated and promptly fulfilled. **Food:** The food was absolutely sensational! Every dish was a delight for the senses. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the spices provided an authentic taste experience. Special mention should be made of the Butter Chicken Tikka Masala and the Murg Tandoori Tikka, which were simply heavenly. The vegetarian dishes are also highly recommended - the Samosa Chaat was one of the best I have ever tasted. **Value for money:** The prices are more than reasonable for the quality and service. You definitely get a lot for your money and the portions are generous. **Conclusion:** Turmeric is an absolute must for all lovers of Indian cuisine. Everything is just right here - from the atmosphere to the service to the food. I will definitely come back and can highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience. 5 out of 5 stars

Our favourite restaurant

Aug 2024 • family

The ambience is elegant and welcoming, perfect for a special evening. The food is simply fantastic! Each dish is a work of art prepared with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. Another highlight is the extraordinary works of art that decorate the walls of the restaurant. They give the room a special atmosphere and are a real feast for the eyes that perfectly rounds off the culinary experience. The service was equally outstanding, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. An absolute must for anyone who loves authentic and refined Indian cuisine. We will definitely be back!

BAD

Aug 2024 • friends

I was recently at Turmeric 400° and had a very disappointing experience. Despite the high prices, the service was extremely slow. We waited an amazing 1.5 hours to receive our food after ordering, which is unacceptable. The food itself was anything but impressive. Compared to other Indian restaurants, it was not very convincing in taste and also the amount was too small. Added to our frustration was that we ordered two dishes and 2 naan, but only got one pot of rice. Usually you get a separate pot of rice or naan for each dish you order, but that was not the case here. The last straw was the bill. According to the menu, our food should have cost 64 €, but we were charged 71.50 €. This excessive price was not justified and when we approached it, the staff were unhelpful. Overall, the turmeric 400° was an expensive disappointment with poor service and inferior food. I will not come back and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quality Indian food. I have visited so many Indian restaurants in Germany and it was a huge disappointment.

Good, but not good.

Jul 2024 • couples

The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere and exudes something you don't otherwise know. Above all, it is great that you are not disturbed by the next table due to the quiet and quiet way of entertaining and you have a rather quiet and pleasant conversation yourself. The quality of the food I cannot judge because I do not know the shopping. However, the preparation of the food is great and everything is very tasty. We especially liked the attentive and very nice service, so we felt very well taken care of and thus used the recommendations of the service for the correct choice of food. Now it comes, however, and this has prompted both me and my companion to stop visiting this restaurant in the future. When paying I asked the very nice service whether the willingness of the tip was generally still there and appropriate. She replied that it had become less and NOW IT COMES, she has to give it all up. We were very surprised and outraged by this, so I asked again very closely and they perceived this unsustainable and outrageous state of affairs for us very strangely. Asking for the reasoning, she replied that they can eat freely for it. Asking for your choice by us, however, would clearly fall on keeping the tip, of course, also with the participation of all the staff responsible for the service including the kitchen, so a fair sharing as it should be generally. This is likely to be seen differently by operators and will invite them to comment in addition. Our conclusion, anyway, is that due to the lack of appreciation of the staff, precisely because of this circumstance, we will no longer visit this restaurant. An argument that you can then eat there freely is flimsy and unacceptable, as obviously the service is given no choice whatsoever. We were still annoyed in retrospect that we did not reclaim the appropriate tip, because the really nice lady did not benefit anyway and obviously the management here prefers to “enrich” themselves with it. That was very disappointing.

Lieber Gast Ju H, herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Bewertung und Ihr ehrliches Feedback. Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie die angenehme Atmosphäre und den ruhigen Charakter unseres Restaurants genießen konnten. Ebenso danken wir Ihnen für Ihr Lob bezüglich der Zubereitung unserer Speisen und des aufmerksamen Services, den Sie bei uns erfahren haben. Zu dem von Ihnen angesprochenen Punkt bezüglich des Trinkgeldes möchten wir Stellung nehmen. Unser Team besteht aus einer Mischung von geringfügig Beschäftigten, Teilzeit- und Vollzeitkräften. Wir möchten betonen, dass wir alle unsere Mitarbeiter unabhängig von ihren Fähigkeiten übertariflich bezahlen. Wir sind der festen Überzeugung, dass eine faire und gerechte Entlohnung entscheidend für die Zufriedenheit und Motivation unserer Mitarbeiter ist. Zusätzlich erhalten unsere geringfügig Beschäftigten jeden Monat einen Sachbezug ihrer Wahl im Wert von 50€ - unabhängig davon, ob sie wegen Abiturprüfungen nur wenige Stunden oder gar nicht arbeiten. Dies ist ein weiterer Ausdruck unserer Wertschätzung für ihr Engagement und ihre harte Arbeit. Diese Mitarbeiter haben sich bewusst für diese Kombination aus übertariflicher Bezahlung und Sachbezug entschieden, anstatt Trinkgeld zu erhalten. Selbstverständlich erhalten unsere Teilzeit- und Vollzeitbeschäftigten weiterhin Trinkgeld. Der von Ihnen erwähnte Umstand, dass das Trinkgeld abgegeben werden müsse, dient der gerechten Verteilung unter allen Beschäftigten, einschließlich der Küche und des Servicepersonals, um das Engagement jedes Einzelnen zu würdigen. Es tut uns leid, dass dies bei Ihnen den Eindruck einer mangelnden Wertschätzung hinterlassen hat. Uns ist es wichtig, dass sich unsere Mitarbeiter wohlfühlen und fair behandelt werden, daher ist dieser Ansatz unserer Meinung nach die beste Lösung, um dies zu gewährleisten. Wir nehmen Ihre Rückmeldung sehr ernst und werden sie intern besprechen, um sicherzustellen, dass unsere Richtlinien klar und verständlich kommuniziert werden und Missverständnisse in Zukunft vermieden werden können. Wir hoffen, dass Sie uns in Zukunft noch einmal eine Chance geben und uns wieder besuchen, damit wir Sie erneut von der Qualität unserer Speisen und unseres Services überzeugen können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ihr Kurkuma 400° Team

What a lovely experience...

Sep 2024 • couples

Since we don't eat Indian very often, we only noticed now that this is apparently also possible in Schloss Neuhaus, and has been for more than 2 years. Only by chance did we come across the beautifully designed homepage, which makes you want to stop there. Once there, the professional impression gained on the net was immediately confirmed: The ambience in the old half-timbered house is very welcoming and cosy, from the colour scheme, the harmonious lighting concept to the selection of furniture. The reception was very warm, newly arriving guests are immediately noticed attentively. Ideal for a meal for two, but also in a circle of friends with family or colleagues. The menu is great: Carefully selected dishes for every taste are clearly arranged and not overloaded. The same applies to the selection of drinks. And most importantly: The food is incredibly delicious! Everything is super fresh, prepared from high-quality ingredients and fresh spices in a very harmonious and balanced way; in addition, attractively presented and served on beautiful dishes. Mild for those who don't like it so hot, hot for those who prefer hot. This is made possible by the staff of the house: Four chefs from India, who apparently know exactly what they are doing, and very attentive and friendly service staff, who definitely love their job there, which you feel as a guest immediately. Responsible for this is ultimately the boss of the house, whose devotion and love for the restaurant is transmitted to both the employees and the guests. It was a wonderful evening with incomparable culinary delights. We will definitely come back. The drive there is worth every kilometer. And for when it should matter: The price/performance ratio is absolutely balanced. Thank you for the great experience and see you next time!

Again and again !

Jan 2024 • family

We were at Kurkuma 400 for the first time today and will definitely be back! From arrival to departure, EVERYTHING was absolutely outstanding. We have never experienced such friendliness, politeness and appreciation from the staff. We felt in very good hands and were given excellent advice on the dishes and were not disappointed. Robert's recommendations for the starter, main course and dessert were more than convincing. The size of each dish was perfect, the taste and aroma could not be surpassed. Thank you very much for such a lovely, delicious evening with you. We are already looking forward to our next visit and will tell our friends and family about it and definitely recommend you to others.

Authentic Indian food

Aug 2023 • friends

We ate at Kurkuma and it was simply great! The restaurant surprised me in a positive way. I don't usually like eating Indian food because I rarely get authentic food like in India, but the food at Kurkuma was simply excellent and reminded me of the food in India. The restaurant is very tastefully and high-quality decorated. Overall, the restaurant is very clean and well-kept. The service was fast and very courteous. The portions were large and the food tasted really good! I recommend the butter chicken 🤤 but I also had the shrimps and they were just great too! All in all, it was just a great experience and I would love to come back 😊

Food top, service flop

Mar 2024 • friends

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is good. However, we really didn't like the fact that we were indirectly asked to leave after almost 2 hours despite having reserved a table. The waiter came to our table several times within a very short space of time and wanted to clear away empty glasses. When we asked, the table actually had to be cleared for the next guests. We have never experienced anything like this before. I will definitely not eat here again.

Sensational family meal

Sep 2023 • family

It was a perfect evening for our family. We were greeted in a very friendly manner and shown to our table. The mixed starter recommendations from the waiter were a dream. The wine selection is also like a well thought-out restaurant with a concept from A to Z. The main courses took about 45 minutes, but the explosions of flavor and the starters mentioned made up for the wait.

Paderborn has a pearl more

Oct 2024 • couples

The turmeric 400° a pearl nicely packed in an old half-timbered house. Even when you enter the restaurant you are greeted friendly by the very (very) nice service staff. The ambience is right, everything is dark and perfectly coordinated. The food selection is excellent , there is something for everyone. In our opinion, it is unstoppable in terms of taste. That's how you imagine eating Indian. Price-wise, everything is within a normal and reasonable range. For Us a real enrichment of the kitchen in Paderborn. We will definitely come back.
