Turtle Bay Camden

1. Really impressed by the delicious Caribbean food offering. The menu was diverse and I found it hard to choose from all the great options. I had the beef rib which was succulent, spicy and fell from the bone. Thank you to Olivia who helped make the “date” with my little boy special. He had the kids cheese burger and chips and loved it. Nice to have non-spicy options for kids.

2. Entrance – A 3 minute walk from Camden station, very easy to find, right across the road from Wagamama with clear Turtle Bay signs

   Food – I was extremely disappointed in the food, the wings were powdery and the mac and cheese was watery and the jerk chicken they put on top of it didn’t taste fresh.

   The moment I tasted the jerk wings, my stomach completely shrunk due to the powdery texture I could taste, it was not nice at all.

   Then when the mac and cheese with jerk chicken came out, it looked and smelt like vomit and I was completely thrown off eating any of it.

   0/10 for food.

   Drinks – We got there at 9pm to get the 241 cocktails and I had 4 reggae rum punch’s and 2 Island Escapes, they were nice.

   Decor – Very modern and aesthetically pleasing. I liked the decor.

   Atmosphere – Very nice, chilled, not busy for a Friday which was great. Music was good too.

   Cleanliness – VERY clean, not a spec of dirt. Not even in the toilets. It looked and smelt clean. No issues there.

   Total cost – £44 for myself as the wings were free from me downloading the app which isn’t too bad.

   Customer service – The customer service was amazing, from the moment I walked in and were greeted by the lovely security men by the door, to the lady that showed me to my seat and the wonderful service from Tanzie.

   Tanzie was so sweet and helpful, always had a big smile on her face and was very patient when we took 101 years to decide what we wanted. She didn’t once make us feel like a nuisance and ensured our table was constantly cleared when we were done with our drinks / meals, Tanzie was the best!! ❤️

   Overall – 6/10 – The food was a huge letdown but the drinks and the customer service from Tanzie made up for it.

   I would return but just for drinks.

   Thank you Turtle Bay❤️

3. Some dishes were good, some were served cold. The drinks were good, I had mocktails. Best mocktails this side of London. The only bad dish was the curry goat. It had no flavor. Curry was the only spice used. Be very careful, there’s a lot of vegetarian items on their menu. The desert was trash. As they used vegan ice cream, I did not taste rum and how many different dishes can you make out of ripe plantain.
   SERVICE: I had 2 servers, the female
   One was nice, they both were but I saw her most. None of them did anything extraordinary. It’s Turtle Bay. It’s calm.
   It’s a vibe if you’re passing through. We were on Oxford st and this was the closest one.
   I’d definitely recommend if you’re in the neighborhood, but it’s not somewhere you go out of your way to go. The neighborhood is SKETCHY!!!!

4. Birthday lunch – didnt book as took a chance, was seated straight away which was great. Initial server attentive as they went through the menu to advise on spiciness of the choices, which was great. Waitress arrived soon after to get drinks ordered & allowed enough time to make our food choice. We had a couple of mocktails which were great. Starter arrived in good time & the sweetcorn fritters absolutely delicious. So fresh & tasty. I had the vegan jerk chicken with rice/peas and my mum had the Kingston chicken & seasoned fries – both so, so good. Absolutely recommend.

   Service was great & the chef a credit to the restaurant.

   Thanks for making my birthday lunch fabulous & flavoursome!

5. Had an amazing time at bottomless brunch! You really do get your moneys worth and Olivia D was amazing at serving us!! Alfie also did a spectacular job at creating delicious cocktails and did them in record time!! Definitely recommend a visit.
