![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I'm delighted to be the first one to review Turtle Bay on Zomato - I'll consider this a prestigious opportunity. I must have made about one visit a month for 6 months to this restaurant. With each visit, I felt more and more like a regular. And the experiences of each visit have become one big excitement journey! Okay, now onto the details...
The ambience is simple yet functional and welcoming. When looking around, you see the bar (which will normally sit in the centre of the restaurant), the kitchen (you can actually see what the cooks are up to) and some funky light arrangements (looks like construction pipes but they pull it off really well). The waitresses are all very kind and give you their undivided attention.
The food looks great. Simplicity is key in a setting like this and they have nailed it. They even serve some of the dishes in actually pots - the famous one-pots - that make it look like the food came straight from the cooker! Most of the dishes are hot (think somewhere between Indian curries and serious chilliness) so be cautious when ordering. However, that's actually what appeals to me personally because the spiciness gives the dish that extra kick! There's even some extra chilli & bbq sauces on the table (I bought a bottle of Aunt May's Bajan Pepper sauce on my last trip).
In summary, a place well-worth multiple visits, if you're the type who enjoys hot food! Even if you're not a big fan of hot stuff, try it anyway. I took a friend who hated anything hot. At the time it took him ages to finish a one-pot but today he has hotter dishes than I do!

Had a brilliant meal here. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Becky and the other waitress serving (I thing her name began with an L) were lovely and really helpful with suggestions.
The food was beautiful (I had the ribs and cheesecake, both of which were amazing!). It arrived quickly, hot and absolutely packed with flavour.
The restaurant was clean, well spaced and had a good atmosphere. I have a slight issue with louder music but that's a me problem.
If I'm ever back in the area I'll definitely be back here.

Absolutely gorgeous! The food was amazing… I had the jerk chicken breast, my other half had the jerk pork belly… they were both DELICIOUS! We both had the plantain for dessert which was so so tasty! The drinks are unreal and our waiter, Ewan, was so so friendly and recommended drinks from the “secret menu”. Already can’t wait to come again!!!! xx ps the Tequila Rose shots are MASSIVE!!!!!!!!
