Whilst my girlfriend was visiting we decided to try out the new Turtle Bay in Nottingham. I must admit I have never tried Caribbean food before so I cannot proclaim to know how much it resembles that real McCoy. From the moment we stepped in the atmosphere made you forget that you had just come in from miserable weather outside. The lively music, busy kitchen (which from our table you could watch the chefs barbecuing all of the meat), and cocktails made you feel likely you were in the sunny Caribbean.
Baby Back Ribs
Chicken Mo Bay
Goat Curry Buss Up
The mains were equally delicious. I had the chicken Mo Bay which despite being very tasty was a little small for a portion costing £9.50. The chicken breast was beautifully cooked, the sauce was rich and creamy and had a perfect balance of spice, however, there wasn't enough! The Goat Curry did not suffer from the same portioning issue and was amazing! The curry was well balanced with spices and did not blow the roof of your mouth off. The roti made a nice side to the curry and was crispy and flaky (just how roti should be!).
The staff were really friendly, and aside from the small portion for one of the mains I though Turtle Bay was really nice. I didn't feel ripped off when I got the bill, in fact I thought it was pretty good value for money (especially with 2-4-1 cocktails)! I would recommend anyone to try Turtle Bay as it is a welcome change to many chain restaurants on the High Street!
