Kitty was absolutely amazing! She made drinks for my graduation celebration and was fantastic from start to finish. She was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel so easy. The drinks were delicious, beautifully presented, and went down a treat with everyone. She was organised, attentive, and clearly puts so much care into what she does. I couldn’t have asked for better service to help celebrate such a special occasion. I would recommend Kitty to anyone looking for someone talented, reliable, and lovely to work with. Thank you so much for helping make my graduation even more memorable!
Place looks really cool, inside and outside, got a seat inside to hide from the heat. Ordered the Roti Fried Chicken Wrap which was awesome!!!, one of the best chicken i’ve ever had, perfectly seasoned and so so filling. Picked the spiced fries on the side which were also a great pick though not comparable to how good the wrap was (truly loved that one). The smashed burger was also really good, same for the coleslaw! Didn’t get to try the drinks but by seeing them going out on the floor they looked great too! A lot of vegetarian AND vegan options on the menu too. Special mention of the GREAT sauce selection : our number pick was definitely the spicy jerk bbq one, give it a try! The service was also great and we got our food in about 15 minutes. Would come back :D
I was passing by Bristol and stopped at Turtle Bay. I’m glad I did! I ordered the loaded jerk fries, crispy chilli squid and the raspberry reggae zero. Compliments to the chef, it tasted amazing! Very lively and upbeat atmosphere too, and the servers were warm and welcoming! 😍
This was my second time to Turltle Bay and it was slightly underwhelming as compared to my first visit. The food is very well made but the service was a bit slow even though the customers did not seem that many. The staff are quite friendly and warm. The atmosphere is definitely the best aspect. Great music and overall vibe make this a lovely night out.
I had a curry goat, which was not too bad, but the portion couldn't qualify for a starter at other restaurants. One of the few pieces of meat which was in the bowl, one piece was a big lump of fat, bigger than a 2 pound coin. The glass which I received had lipstick marks on it. Finally, there was no toilet paper! The waiters were friendly, this is why I give 3 stars rather than 2... Not a good value for money!
