A solid Jamaican takeaway with good jerk chicken and fucking awesome rice and beans…read more A bell dings when you walk in, and a Jamaican dude who was chilling outside saunters in, takes your order and then walks straight back into the kitchen to make it. All orders are £7.50, and unless you're Herculean in size a single order will easily feed two people. Drinks are the usual range, although there's a couple island goodies in there if you look closely. Orders are wrapped in two metric tons of plastic wrap, and the menu varies based on the day of the week.

I make it a point to hit up a Jamaican restaurant wherever I go, be it the US or international and I do not lie when I say the rice and peas is the best I have ever had--a veritable flavor explosion in your mouth and the texture is so delicate. A wonderful culinary experience!

Three of us went to dine at Turtle Bay, a caribbean style restaurant, on a Tuesday evening. The…read moreplace was very quiet, however the server was very attentive and helpful. I started with the pink lemonade, which is more than enough for two but was so delicious I managed to drink the whole lot on my own. We ordered three curries to share, goat, fish and vegetable squash, they were all distinct in flavour and very tasty. The meat in the goat curry was tender, whilst the fish was well marinaded and succulent. For dessert my recommendation would be to go with the rum cake every time, it's melt in your mouth good and the sauce is all kinds of amazing! If we weren't driving we would have definitely tried one or three of the cocktails as there was a great selection.

On top of that they had Caribbean Sunday roasts, so even more to choose from. When the food arrived it was finger-licking delicious! We all ordered different dishes and all thoroughly enjoyed those!

But please do not go for a romantic or serious meal, as you may catch them on a ''off'' nite haha. Obviously, this is a jamaican serving all things jamaican sounding...chicken with this...chicken with that...:) No the food is good. The atmosphere is also good when the rasta man is feeling friendly. He will sit and chat with you and make jokes which is good fun, but go here early ... before he is drunk..or something similar. The earlier you can go in the evening the better :) I have never found them utterly rude but it can make for an uncomfortable dinner when they are screaming lol. This place is perfect for a novelty nite out tho, or if you are in a group. The prices are very reasonable too!
