    Went for a bottomless brunch. Price is great. Was so happy to hear the music has returned, though it seemed a bit low. Welcome reagge rum punch was a nice touch. Service was good- food came out within good time and was tasty. However about half way through our time we didn't have a drink for 30-40minutes, we spoke to two different members and then had 3 rounds of drink come at once. These had been rushed and taste too sweet. I was a little disappointed after that, the waitress offered us an extra 15 minutes on the table to finish the drinks we had if we wrote a review on Tripadvisor. However, I feel they should have offered it for the slow service.

    We went for the brunch with unlimited cocktails, amazing drinks! We got alot of bang for our buck and the waitress served us right until our time was up. The coffee cocktail is a bit sickly if you have more than one, One Love is definitely my favourite! The buttermilk chicken and mac and cheese are to die for and I absolutely love their dumplings... Do the brunch, I can't wait to go back!

    Saturday afternoon, bottomless brunch. Place was heaving, but service was quick and friendly. Great atmosphere, music a bit loud for me, but I'm getting on a bit now. Food was great and great range of cocktails. Will definitely be going back.

    It's very rare these days that all your senses are overwhelmed at an eatery. After downing a few pints, at the Figure of Eight in nearby Broad Street, we cheekily asked our waiter where the best food place was. Without hesitation he replied, Turtle Bay. Following his direction, we made an inebriated beeline towards it - thankfully, a stone's through away. Tucked away in an off street square, from the outside this Turtle Bay didn't seem like much to write home about. But no sooner had we set foot across the threshold, were we transported to faraway Bohemian shores. Live tunes, neon signs, beautiful Afro-Carribean art, an open kitchen area from which heady smells were emitting, smiling and amenable staff, and most importantly, a killer vibe. We closed the joint! With half-price cocktails on the way, our party of six set about ordering our meals. And can I say, that the curried goat and garlic prawns, quite simply, transported me back to my childhood. The curried goat - slow cooked, fall off the bone tender, perfectly aromatic, and spicy. The prawns - without a doubt, the best prepared prawns I have had in the UK. Congratulations chef. The only let down was the mac 'n cheese - store bought, instant, off the shelf, give it a miss. My friends were too afraid to try anything other than burgers. Don't be. Try something new if you find yourself here, drunk or sober. You'll not be disappointed. The prices aren't bad too. Happy hour's a bonus. The service is great. 5/5 for Turtle Bay. I will be back soon.

    Amazing food ! And our waitress was so helpful in helping me choose what to have to eat, as I was worried about the food being too spicy for me.. She gave some great recommendations! The 2 for 1 cocktails were lovely too.... I Recommend the coconut espresso martinis with rum. Will definitely be eating here again

    Was in a big group for this meal, but the staff handled orders and food really well. The food itself was good with my ribs being tender and the sauce was tasty. My only complaint is that it was a little too charred for my liking for the skin. Otherwise a good dish. The calamari starter was also good. Came back again and had the Jerk Salmon and it was also very good

    We went to Turtle Bay for lunch before going out to explore the city. The food was very good, quite spicy and you can also add your own level of spicy sauce. The cocktails were great, especially since we got 2 for 1 unknowingly because it was cocktail day 😂 some were very sweet and some were more balanced, don't hesitate to ask the staff they are super nice!

    I spent the day in Birmingham centre and ended the evening at Turtle Bay. It was very busy when we arrived but luckily we got a table straight away. Had some wine and chose our food. Our server, Angelica was lovely, attentive and fun. Helped us choose our food which was great but I did find it extra spicy so if you like your food pepper hot go for it. We had salt fish fritters to start and

    Been here several times but had the bottomless brunch yesterday. The cocktails were absolutely smashing and was great value for money. We ordered the fried fish and trini curry in food; both tasted good. Will definitely be back!

    The goat curry was delicious. The service was ok, not too fussy, fairly attentive but a tad bit slow. We went for lunch so it wasn't that busy. We hadn't booked and when we asked for a table of 8, they seemed to be a bit flustered about how they'd get us seated together.

    Happy hour! ...Lasts more than an hour! 241 cocktails were awesome. As a group we all got different drinks and shared them around. Lovely staff gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy before we ordered food. I had the goat curry with rice and peas (small kidney beans). Both were delicious. Great music and great food made for a great Friday evening out with friends. Defo recommend.

    Nice Carbbean restaurant. I had the Brown Stew Chicken which was spicy but nice, came with rice and peas and garnish. The Fizzy Mango came with crushed ice, again very tasty, and I finished off with an Americano. There was a lively atmosphere when I was there, with reggae music playing softly in the background. The "Washrooms" were downstairs and clean. The staff were friendly and the service was quick despite the restaurant being nearly full.

  • 5/5 Bob J. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent service and the food was great, too. I started with the Pulled Chicken Doubles, which were excellent. The avocado sets this dish off. Next, I went with the Kingston Fried Chicken, again this was amazing. On the side, I had the Mac and Cheese. It's really crispy and has the right amount of spice in the mac and cheese. To finish, the Banana Toffee Cheesecake is insanely smooth and not heavy. We'll be back here, and we've even thought about bringing the kids.

    We have been to Turtle Bay a few times because we like the food and the atmosphere there. The food is delicious and there is something for everyone in the menu. Great atmosphere and music every day, this place is buzzing. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Amazing drinks and service, especially from our waitress Amy, she was very attentive and made sure we got our moneys worth with bottomless brunch. Definitely finished a few rounds or two

    The food was amazing! fresh and very tasty, Alex served us and was extremely happy from the beginning ! I really enjoyed his company and he made me feel very welcome and comfortable. As well as having a laugh he was very professional! Will come here again.

  • 5/5 Leo G. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for the bottomless brunch. Excellent food, great attentive staff. We had the goat curry hash - stunning. The pickled red onions were an absolute delight. Lively atmosphere, busy restaurant but the staff handled this expertly. Really recommend this.

  • 4/5 Rob L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food, but ended up being a bit pricey for what it was.

    Actually my second visit to Turtle Bay, this time food was excellent

  • 5/5 Andreea K. 2 years ago on Google
    Alex has been a wonderful waiter! He gave us some great suggestions for our Bottomless Brunch. The service was quick and he always made sure to check on us, ensuring we are satisfied with our food and drinks. Would definitely recommend Turtle Bay for a visit. Go ahead and ask for Alex, he'll make your experience the best it can be!

  • 5/5 isaac l. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, good cocktails, a nice touch of the Caribbean in a energetic lively atmosphere. Well recommend.

  • 3/5 Miriam S. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall I did have a nice time at turtle bay, it is a fun venue and has a really great atmosphere amongst customers. The food was almost perfect but my chicken was a little bit on the dry side. I found that getting hold of waiting staff was quite difficult and one particular member of the waiting staff was hard to communicate with as they were looking around the resteraunt constantly when we were trying to place our order. The cocktails and happy hour, however were amazing and the other members of staff We did eventually get to order from were very friendly and kind.

  • 3/5 Blackbutterfly 8. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was great except the rice and peas as it was sticky and tasteless

  • 4/5 Josh D. 3 years ago on Google
    Disclaimer - I went during the 50% Eat Out to Help out discount. This was my first visit but not my first time eating 'Caribbean' food. I have to say, although the portions were a bit smaller than I'd like, the food was tasty, hot and fairly well presented. I had the jerk chicken, rice and peas with a couple of dumplings and cheesy jerk fries. All of which were nice. I've been told that some of the menu items are much better than others though and that the jerk chicken isn't the best. The venue is nice enough and there is plenty of seating but be sure to book first as it's always packed at peak times. Overall, not bad and maybe somewhere I will try again, depending on the offers available.

  • 4/5 Alexis N. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff were a little off hand but the food was delicious and the venue vibrant. Worth going in happy hour though, the portions are good but they're not out of this world for the prices.

  • 2/5 S Locke (. 1 year ago on Google
    We were seated in one of the most darkest places in the restaurant very hard to see our menus. A mix bag of reviews from us from cold food- small portions- not curry goat meat but beef. Over priced food, no care has gone into the meals. Cocktails more like mocktails full of ice. Heard the same songs over and over whilst we were there, did not have that caribbean feel.Would not visit again

    Great food, drinks and service. Alex our server was very friendly and helpful. We had bottomless bruch. Was definitely worth the money.

  • 5/5 Chimere T. 10 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and fun atmosphere! I love the new refurbishment and have a couple fave meals I have whenever I visit. Food can be spicy, so keep that in mind. Staff is always friendly and seem to handle the busyness quite well. I can’t remember my waitress name but we did have a really lovely conversation with a manager named Dante. He’s so friendly and helped us make recommendations for cocktails that we absolutely loved.

    We visited Turtle Bay for bottomless brunch on Saturday and it wasn't the best visit. Having been to many Turtle Bays before we expected a similar level of service but unfortunately didn't receive it. The space itself was very very busy when we arrived and the waitress had to shout for us to even be able to hear what she was saying. She advised that because it was so busy we all order the same cocktails so make it quicker- this did work out OK in the end but wasn't ideal. I was sat on a chair at the end of the booth however there was also a standing bar/ledge behind me with some bar stools which meant it wasn't possible for people to get past between my chair and the bar stool behind me- as a result I was constantly being asked to get up and move my chair even when eating which was very frustrating. My partner and I ordered two burgers which were nice, and a side of halloumi. After all being served our food for a little while we noticed that they had forgotten to bring over the halloumi so we asked about it and were told it would be right out. We had all finished eating and it still hadn't been brought to the table but as we still had 45 minutes left on the brunch time we did say we'd still have it. We asked a further two times about the halloumi- both times being told it was on its way. When we got the bill the waitress said she'd knocked off the cost of the halloumi but that we would get it in a takeaway box (which we did just an hour after ordering it!). Also within the two hours of being there I had a drink spilt on me by the waitress. We did feel the waitress was doing her best - it was just so busy and she had multiple large groups of people all trying to get the most out of their bottomless brunch so was just spread too thinly. At the end we were just waiting for the bill and finishing our drinks when the bouncers were going over to tables where people had sat without bookings and asking them to move. Despite many empty plates and glasses on our table, and having been sat there for 2 hours, he demanded to know if we had a booking and that we'd have to move without it. It took a little while for him to understand we did in fact have a booking after which he apologised but just ended an already bad visit on an even worse note. Wouldn't recommend and will not be returning!

    Great place for some quick Carribean vibe food, with great music and very decently fast service. The prices aren't too bad either. Definitely will be going to a turtle bay again. Great place if you love hot sauce too, always a nice selection to choose from on the table.

  • 5/5 Lee 6 months ago on Google
    We done the bottomless brunch. Food was amazing recommend the Shack Stack Burger the thickness of it was an immense cooked to perfection. Alex was on the floor delivering cocktails on point in a very timely manner, with an amazing attitude and self respect of the service offered. Each time always greeted with a big smile and no task was too much for him and the team. Definitely returning

  • 5/5 Dorian W. 5 months ago on Google
    What a great, vibrant place for a meal and cocktails. 6pm Friday night, busy as can be, shown straight to our table, quick service for drinks and food. Fantastic food, piping hot and just right on spice level.

  • 5/5 Fiona M. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a great evening at Turtle Bay! Delicious Carribbean food and cocktails, nice relaxed but fun atmosphere and colourful but classy decor, with friendly staff. Adelina was our waitress and she gave a five star service, she brought us everything as soon as we wanted it and she was perfectly attentive, and very helpful with recommending rum flavours! Sadly we are only in Birmingham on a trip, otherwise we’d be back here every weekend I think.

  • 5/5 Jai 6 months ago on Google
    ah! me and my sister went to turtle bay bottomless brunch and I just have to say a huge thank you to the staff, 100% recommend the cocktails. They were so sweet and the atmosphere was amazing. Staff were quick and efficient, especially our waitress bringing us nearly 2 drinks at a time and we finished the brunch with a huge smile on our face. Complete well done to the staff and compliments to the chef for our amazing food 🤍

  • 5/5 Hsun-Yen W. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere. Good food at a fair price 🙂. We ordered Jerk Salmon and Kinston Fried Chicken. Salmon tasted okay, but the coconut rice is really good. Fried chicken is delicious especially its topcoat. Our waitress is Samantha , she is fantastic, we really enjoyed the dinner.

  • 1/5 Riley S. 3 years ago on Google
    Spent thousands here, as this has been our group of freinds meeting place for the past 3 years, Kind of disgusted at this place lately, on our last visit we arrived at 3pm for food and drinks and decided to sit outside and get table service as it was a nice day and it was easy to social distance, although we waited 40 mins for no one to arrive. we was wearing shorts At first but decided to go home and get changed into something smarter, when we arrived back we was told it’s booking only, however we was still able to sit outside and get drinks by table service , £40-50 + tips worth of drinks later we decided we needed the toilet after all those drinks had passed through our system. We was told by some lil short stubby guard with a picky head that we can’t use the toilet because we had no booking. The thing that upsets me is they happily took our money but did not let us use the toilet, we had to go home just to use the toilet. I know the manager of this place for some years from a last job, as we was colleagues she didn’t even say it’s ok for us to use it until I later called up to complain.

  • 4/5 scott l. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place haven't been here since before lockdown. The way they have set it up is great as you have 2 book , u get seated which is good the only thing was it didn't have any music on for some reason and killed the vibe we know and love . Drinks were great but noticeably they have taken a few drinks off the menu but still good. Defo be back soon

  • 4/5 Ben G. 4 years ago on Google
    Went on Sunday for lunch and had the set menu and the 2 for 1 cocktails. The service was great and the cocktails were amazing. The food was really tasty and nicely cooked. The only let down were the dumplings which were overdone and tough. Great value overall and I would recommend it highly. Would visit again. Ordered the chick pea starter, sweetcorn fritters, fried chicken and the chicken stew

  • 2/5 Manj 3 years ago on Google
    Table was booked for 4pm for 3 guests. We were told that we were unable to come in as one guest was running late (she arrived 10 minutes after our booking). We asked if we could go inside to our table and order drinks whilst waiting for our third guest, which the response was a stern NO! This meant we had to stand in the rain whilst we waited for our guest to arrive. Upon arrival, we were told to sit on a table for two! Needless to say this was incredibly cramped, and the host staff should have done a better job in making sure they had a table available for us, especially when we booked and waited outside. We came for drinks at the bar and there was no room to add 6 drinks as this was 241 and bar snacks. I was incredibly angry and disappointed in the lack of rational from the Host staff. It was my friends birthday, this really made us feel unappreciated as a customer. Upon speaking to the Host staff, they did absolutely nothing. Gains a star for the great service from the bar staff, and servers. Two servers were great and finally moved us after 30 minutes.

  • 4/5 Elena T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice and colorful place, the only flaw was the intrusive waitress who came to remove the glasses not yet completely finished fin (Original) Locale molto carino e colorato,l'unica pecca è stata la cameriera invadente che veniva a toglierci i bicchieri neanche ancora finiti del tutto😅

  • 5/5 Jacobs A. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food as always, had to rebook the birthday meal to get in before lockdown started again. Had a great evening eating and drinking. 241 Cocktails are always worthwhile if you can marry them up with your meal. Shame about the sides now not being offered as deals but this may be down to the pandemic lockdowns.

  • 1/5 Rajdeep S. 3 years ago on Google
    The sweet potato fries were burnt and when complained was bought out a “new” batch when they were just reshuffled staff was unhelpful said that’s how they are meant to be. The burnt taste ruined the meal. Bad experience will not be coming again.

  • 2/5 Natasha W. 3 years ago on Google
    This restaurant may have the one way stickers on the floor and the staff wearing masks but it is extremely over capacity. It appears to be running on nearly full capacity as it would usually. Not only is this currently irresponsible but it makes the wait for food roughly an hour long. Service for cocktails was ok, nothing particularly special and you could tell staff were rushed off their feet. If this restaurant was to have an inspection regarding covid restrictions...not sure it will pass.

  • 2/5 Sanjeev S. 3 years ago on Google
    Very slow service. Table wasn't even available at the time we booked it for, meaning they didn't even hold one for us. In 1.5 hours, I was only able to order 3 drinks. I get that there are restrictions due to the situation, but they're trying to fit the same amount of people in, and clearly it wasn't working.
