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.
