Reviews
Delicious jerk chicken wings, sweetcorn fritters and mo bay chicken with spiced fries and plantain. Loved the cocktails too- candy sour my favourite! super friendly and helpful service too. If you get the app you get free fritters or wings if using the app for first time. Thank you to Chanel, our waitress who was fab
What's happened to this place? It's dead and the food portion size is crap! Is it because I declared that I had a £20 voucher for my birthday spend...? I have ordered the same dish many times but for some reason today..."For my Birthday....the portion size was smaller! I prefer to pay the full price and get the right food and the right amount! Honestly so disappointed and will not be returning any time soon.
I had the mixed seafood and half chicken at Turtle Bay, and it was delicious! The seafood, especially with the coconut curry, was amazing and felt healthy. The staff (Chisel and Chanel) were super friendly and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend
Ordered the curried goat hash and despite the flavour was good, the portion size of the goat was so little. Jerk platter was mediocre, chicken was slightly overcooked and I didn’t enjoy the sausage or the beef short rib at all either. Service was quite slow on the day, had to wait forever for both food and drinks so overall it’s okay but not something I would go for unless there’s no other choice
We visited Turtle Bay Ealing on a buzzing Friday night and left full, happy, and slightly tipsy – just how it should be! The atmosphere was vibrant from the moment we walked in, helped massively by the live DJ running some riddims all evening! It really set the tone and gave the place that extra kick of energy, perfect for a weekend wind-down. For food, I went for the Bay Burger with Jerk Fries – the burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and the jerk fries had that addictive smoky heat that kept me going back for more. Mrs had the Chicken Roti Wrap, which was full of flavour and generously filled. We also couldn’t resist trying the Rum BBQ Ribs – messy, sticky, sweet, and worth every bite. Now for the drinks – hands down the highlight of the night. As it was happy hour (which lasts impressively long), we went all in: 4 Strawberry Daiquiris – fruity, icy, and dangerously easy to drink 4 Reggae Rum Punches – strong, tropical, and perfectly balanced 4 Passion Fruit Mojito Royals – refreshing with just the right fizz and sweetness A few wary shooters – because, why not? Honestly, the cocktails were top-tier, well mixed, good strength, and beautifully presented. Service-wise, the staff were lovely and attentive when they could be, though it was a little slow at times – but it was getting busier, so not entirely unexpected. Overall, Turtle Bay Ealing delivered a fantastic night with great Caribbean flavours, unbeatable cocktails, and a brilliant party vibe. Just short of five stars due to the slightly delayed service, but we’ll definitely be back!
