Well this is a very popular place. It does get busy but the food is lovely and at a good price. The staff were lovely, polite and friendly and very attentive. Turtle Bay is close to all transport amenities.its also surrounded by plenty of other pubs and restaurants, if you fancy a bit of shopping eldon square close by. If you fancy a stay over plenty of hotels to choose from. I will definitely be back as I was spoilt for choice from the menu and I need more of the lovely coconut ice cream. They do great cocktail 2-4-1 till 7pm, they also serve many other drinks i have recommended to family and friends already. It's a great place to visit you won't be disappointed 😊 X
Please get some salmon in for next visit.

Went for bottomless brunch as always the cocktails were lovely. The food was absolutely delicious. It was definitely good value we never had an empty glass and the one time we were waiting a couple of minutes for a cocktail the waitress brought over a bottle of Prosecco whilst we waited. We will definitely be returning to do it again.

Blue Light Card Discount applies here!
2-4-1 Cocktails is an absolute treat as well!
Great food and nice atmosphere. Staff were really accommodating and happy to help with anything we asked for.
Couple of bits missing off the menu, but kept well inform.
I would thoroughly recommend the food here! Don’t get the Mac and cheese, not worth it but everything else we had was delicious!
Thanks so much!
M. V.
I ordered ribs with mac n cheese and I got it very fast which was great, but it wasn't warm enough and the portion was very small. It felt like a starter and I was still very hungry after it.
But overall I have to say that food was delicious. I would give 5 stars if the portion was bigger and warmer.

We visited Turtle Bay during a one-night stop in Newcastle on our trip, and what a gem this place is!
Loved the Caribbean vibe, the lively music, the food and the excellent service!
We ordered a Coca-Cola whilst deciding what dishes to have, and I loved the glass bottle it was served in! Funky concept.
We had the garlic pit prawns and crispy chilli squid for mains - the prawns were a-ma-zing! You could taste the meatiness of the prawns and the softness of the melted butter over the flatbread.
For mains, we ordered the Jerk Salmon with spiced fries, and the Salmon Curry. Both full of flavour, the fries were delicious.
Loved the customer service, the staff were friendly, approachable and nothing was too much trouble for them, always serving us with a big smile!
I highly recommend this venue and the extra point goes for the fact that they're open until 12.30am on a Thursday night!
Thanks, Turtle Bay!

Went for the bottomless brunch and didn't have high expectations for the speed of service or quality of the cocktails. Service was fantastic and we always had a full drink, cocktails were beautiful too and they had a huge selection.
The food was lovely and came quickly!
Well worth the £32 each.
C. H.
They don't mess around when it comes to bottomless brunch! Amazing selection of cocktails, high quality dishes and super speedy service so you get your moneys worth (I think we got about 8 cocktails each!). Staff are super friendly and cater to your every need. 100% the best bottomless brunch in Newcastle and 10/10 would recommend!
R. H.
Who would have thought a Wednesday afternoon in April could be so much fun! Birthday treat from my girlfriend and we had a fantastic time. Looked after superbly by Rosie for our 2 hour bottomless brunch and shout out to Dan in the kitchen for the excellent meal! Then looked after at the bar by Jack and Gilbert as we made our way through the rum menu!! All these guys are a credit to you!!
Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be returning again!!
Well Done!!
R. B.
We had a great time on the bottomless brunch. Food was great and the cocktails were as well. Bruna from Portugal served us as well as Sarah and Rosie from London studying music. They made our stay an excellent one. Highly recommended. We stayed for 2-4-1 cocktails after the bottomless brunch ended
M. K.
Amazing cocktails as long as you like rum! Food is amazing, good heat, massive portions, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. A gem
Update: Still incredible. Staff are brilliant, really friendly, food is still fantastic and good value.
H. C.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Really attentive over our experience, happy for us to take ages to order, always checking everything was good but not being in our face with it. Food was delicious and really enjoyed it as have never been before. Cocktails were a hoot. The toilets were clean. Only complaint would be that the music was way too loud and didn't seem in keeping with the vibe of the restaurant, felt more like club music than dining music which was a shame as entirely we left because it was too loud.
N. T.
Nice for cocktails, lovely staff and a relaxed vibe. We wouldn't go again for food. Waited for food fairly late on an evening and was sat watching one of our meals left underneath a heat lamp and ended up sending it back.
A. H.
You want authentic Jamaican style food... Turtle Bay
Exceptional quality food served every time, delicious cocktails, great friendly atmosphere.
The only place in the North East you can eat a Trinidad double!
D. P.
The food and drinks were great, the service was good, the place was way, way over capacity for the amount of staff on.
Our waiter Katie had such a big patch that she couldn't get round everyone quickly enough. The servers helping her were clearly unfamiliar with the amended layout so kept taking our drinks to the wrong tables.
Our starters came part way through our mains; the table next to us waited over an hour for their food, only for their desserts to come before their mains. I think they got some £ off, but the kitchen was in absolute disarray.
I still enjoyed it, but I probably wouldn't go again for an event like valentine's Day
S. N.
Really good food, and great cocktails (really nice variety as well!)
S. J.
Disappointing experience after the last time we were there, seemed to be waiting for ages to be seated when we 1st arrived. The greeter said she didn't see us, I don't know how as I'm 6ft 4 tall. We were seated near the back where a lot of staff were gathered talking, which explains the wait. We got our starters, I like spicey food but my wife's dish was way too spicy for a dish that wasn't meant to be too spicy. Literally just put the last fork full in my mouth n waitress was there taking away our plates. My fork was still in my hand. Things didn't really improve for the main course. It came out very quickly which is good provided the food is cooked properly. Unfortunately my wife's stack burger was still raw inside and my ribs were the smallest portion of ribs I'd ever seen. Gave me the feeling of slap dash fast food outlet rather than a nice place to eat.
S. J.
Great atmosphere, awesome food...had the curry goat hash, tremendous. 3 of us ate out, not at all expensive when adding cocktails in. Would recommend & will be back
E. R.
Food was excellent, staff were great. The venue has a great look about it. Bathrooms were run down, various things not working and pretty filthy which spoilt the overall experience a little. And too loud music meaning we couldn't talk to each other but the point of meeting was to chat and catch up so went elsewhere after mains instead of ordering a few more drinks here.
L. O. E.
If you are in Newcastle and want to enjoy nice Afro Caribbean music and home made drink then Turtle Bay is the place....the food is great and well presented.
I enjoyed having their prawns on garlic bread, rice and peas with jerk chicken are my regular.
This place is perfect for family outing with the kids and as well as staff day out.
There is parking in the Gate building and Restaurant is close to all shopping centres in the centre of Newcastle. Pubs, bar and clubs are nearby.
The staff are extremely professionals and customer service is 100% for me.

Glad to find out favourite turtle bay looks amazing have a look gem was an amazing host warm and friendly an asset to turtle bay will be coming back
j. b.
Never had Caribbean food and found the dishes we had very good. My jerk salmon with coconut rice and his mo'bay chicken with spicy fries were lovely with mine being much more spicy than his! Also Enjoyed the 2 for 1 cocktails - do like a tingaling!! It was pretty full at 6pm on a Monday night so would probably book if coming later or the weekend.
R. C.
It was very very busy when we visited on a Saturday dinner time, the food was OK, not massive portions but was served really quickly which was good. Just felt it was a bit too loud to be doubling up as a restaurant and also a bar. Can't fault the decor or the service, would probably prefer a quieter time. God reading that I sound dead old! Give it a bash
F. P.
Had an amazing time at Turtle Bay. The maitre d' Jean-Pierre really made the experience. So flamboyant and welcoming.
D. C.
Very busy lively place. Food was very good. Service was a bit slow due to how busy it was and the fact that cocktails were 2 for 1 so drinks were taking a while to be made. Cocktails were of a poor standard.
S. D.
Amazing service. Came for a few quick drinks and the barman Finn couldn’t have been any more polite and well mannered. Definitely will come back because of Finn. Thank you! X
L. T.
Lovely food, very busy at a weekend so need to book. Cocktails are pricey but great if you can hit on at happy hour! One thing that put me off was sitting near the door and could smell cigarette smoke from outside whilst eating. Also need to check your bill, was charged extra for a side order which came with the dish.
A. L.
Lorena gave excellent service for my graduation celebrations. Very attentive, lovely service and a genuine person. She deserves a raise. Thank you, Turtle Bay
J. L.
Unexpected fantastic food. The curried goat hash was beautiful 👍🏼
D. P.
Cards on the table, I'm West Indian by heritage and as such I have fairly high expectations of any restaurant selling Caribbean food, especially when most Caribbean food in the UK is termed "Caribbean" but is actually Jamaican almost entirely.
As a London native I'd never heard of Turtle Bay before (as the branches in London are a bit out of the centre) but the menu was nicely eclectic and representative of all of the islands, and so I went along to try it out. Good decision to say the least.
First, good service. We didn't book. No trouble at all. Seated immediately, and 2-4-1 cocktails.
I made a point to choose food I know based on where I'm from and I have to say, it wasn't half bad, the food was flavoured well, and cooked properly (i.e. potato in a curry per certain islands traditional way of cooking). I mean there's not zero negatives, the 'Trinidad' Chicken Curry. Hardly. But not bad for a chain restaurant.
I also liked the ambience and layout, the music was from all over the West Indies, and the decor too, a Carib fridge (Trinidad & Tobago), a Wray & Nephew sign above the second bar (Jamaica) and I saw signage and influences from Barbados, Antigua and even St. Vincent.
I have to say, I can't recommend this place more highly. Good staff, hard working and attentive. Servers plating food for example. Good food. And good prices.
If you're in Newcastle. Definitely visit this branch.
B. T.
This was the first time I tried genuine carribean food and it didn't fail to impress. The food was fantastic, but beware, the majority of dishes are spicy! The jerk steak I ordered unfortunately was rather well done when I asked for medium rare which is why I dropped a star. Still it was one of the best steaks I have tasted. 2 for 1 cocktails during the meal too (£7 each normally) which was great. They have a cocktail exclusively for January 2017 called One Love For Haiti where your money gets donated to charities helping out in Haiti which was nice.
The restaurant is very rustic with a nice atmosphere and good music. Staff seem very friendly too. If you fancy something different and some nice strong but cheap cocktails definitely head here.
J. K.
Relaxing ambient, nice music, helpful and super friendly staff! And the food...absolutely delicious! There is plenty of gluten free options as well. I loved the welcoming, positive and relaxing feeling. A must go, when you are visiting Newcastle 😊 it is near the central train station.
E. D.
Absolutely amazing service from George!! The boy deserves a raise he really kept us full of food and drink and played a part in the hen do the make the hen happy
M. L.
Dropped in for lunch after arriving in Newcastle via Dublin. Excellent fare. I had the Fixed 3 course menu with the jerk chicken and toffee cheese cake.yum. nice service, cool music.
J. H.
George was absolutely amazing with his service, went above and beyond for us and our party! Would definitely come back to see him again.
C. B.
Jordan was AMAZING!!!! My bestie and I went to turtle bay for her birthday and we let Jordan have total freedom over our drinks. This woman did not disappoint! She bantered with us, had a good laugh and I really enjoyed her company. Jordan is an amazing server and deserves the recognition. Thank you for making our night xxx
g. w.
Great place two cocktails for the price of one early doors food was top notch too
J. H.
Very mediocre food in comparison to the other branches I've visited. Though the service wasn't bad, with a very talkative waiter helping us throughout the evening, the atmospherics were bad. Playing club music doesn't go with the theme. I wanna listen to reggae or dancehall when eating curried salmon, like the Nottingham site does so well. The pit prawns weren't as flavoursome, and nor was the salmon.
B. L.
Lovely food I had baby ribs hubby had steak and both were gorgeous relaxed atmosphere music just right not too loud the cocktails were yummy our waitress bruna was fab it was my second visit will definitely be back to try the goat curry
m. d.
Went to Turtle Bay for a date day in Newcastle and chose Bottomless Brunch. We werent sure what to expect but we were very pleased. We were served by Andy and what an experience he made it for us! Absolutely fantastic service, he was friendly and made us feel welcome. He had great recommendations and made us laugh from start to end. Absolutely would go again! Thank you Andy.
C. B.
Beautiful food, beautiful drinks, absolutely amazing atmosphere!
O. B.
Went here with a party of 8 on a Friday evening. Ordered the steak, medium rare with the "classic" sauce. The food that everyone in the party ordered came altogether and my steak was cooked to perfection. The spinach that accompanied it had a nice kick to it. Venue was very nice and clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again soon.
M. F.
Good restaurant and bar in Newcastle,good deals on app, definitely worth a visis, nice staff.

The service was wonderful. The staff could not have been any friendlier. The food is quite good and the drink menu has a variety of diverse drinks. It is a great place to catch up with friends.
G. W.
Bottomless brunch was very tasty and good value for money- our server Rosie was very speedy and friendly

The Vegan roti was delicious. Also had sweet potato fries which were a 10/10. Definitely coming back!
c. l. c.
Beautiful food the flavour was amazing could not fault the place all ready looking forward to my next visit all ready the goat has was delish

Really nice set up, extensive menu of really tasty food, good selection of drinks, and really really tasty food. Hot, tender ribs followed by hot goat curry. Special mention to server Kate who was helpful, friendly and attentive. Really good experience overall.
R. C.
We had a delicious dinner here and we all enjoyed the lively atmosphere and friendly service. The goat curry I had was very tasty, you'd never guess it was goat. Good cocktails, especially as we just caught Happy Hour!
S. G.
Just ordered a takeaway and it came so quickly! I'm from the West Indians and it does taste like the real deal. And the delievery guy was lovely. My friends & family has been raving about Turtle Bay for the longest time & I totally see why. Can't wait to eat there again :)
A. B.
Best bottomless brunch in Newcastle! Thank you to our attentive and lovely server, George!
R.
Drink is good
Food is not as expected , too oily in general; the portion of each course is enough.
Starters:
Chicken wings, over grilled, taste bitterness. Fried Mac & Cheese, don’t know what is that at all. Hard and no taste.
Main dish:
Fried chicken breast, over cooked for the outside breaded part. Inside meat is ok, not dry.
Hash Goat, oily and the taste is normal. Don’t know why it’s recommended on the menu.
Sorry if my comment is harsh… I love this place before COVID. Now, I don’t know anymore. 🥲
a. y.
Lovely relaxed atmosphere,tasty food at reasonable prices ,friendly staff
J. H.
Well worth a visit for their bottomless brunch. Mac and cheese could be more cheesy.
A. T.
A great introduction to Caribbean inspired food. Good atmosphere and nice service.
S. C.
Fantastic food and drink
Good service
S. G.
The food was good but I wouldn't say it's 100% authentic Caribbean food. Ambiance was good and music was Irie. I would definitely recommend.
t. p.
Saskia is a very good waitress and she accompanied all our needs, and she is a credit to the company
t. H.
Had a lovely day out for bottomless brunch and George made it the best

Went for bottomless brunch did not disappoint! Staff were bringing cocktails left right an centre
J. V. B.
Took nearly 45 minutes for our first drinks to arrive! The happy hour drinks deal was good though and we enjoyed our cocktails when they finally arrived. We stayed for a while and the manager apologised for the wait.
r. g.
Mine and my dad's favorite caribbean restaurant. Not too expensive and lovely staff
M. R.
Yummy place. Make use of happy hour too. Great menu. Jerk salmon was so yummy. Nice vibe too
R. C.
Jan was our waiter for a bottomless brunch on Thursday. Great service! He was lovely and incredibly attentive, making our experience very welcoming. Cocktails were also fantastic - I recommend the Marley Mojito. Will be back!!
E. J. H.
We just love Tuttle bay music great food great and cocktails fab,
D. o. Y.
Really nice West Indian cuisine, and cocktails. Reasonably priced too. During the Covid-19 era, it's recommended that you book rather than just turn up and expect them to have room for you. The food is unpretentious and the service is good. They add on 10% service charge, but you can take it off the bill if you want. It's not really a shirt and tie kind of place; the vibe is definitely relaxed. A great place to come and try something slightly more off the beaten food track of Italian, Asian or French cuisine. Recommended!
S. W.
Only been here for 2-4-1 cocktails so can't review food, etc. Cocktails are always lovely though. Friendly staff too.
R. M.
Really impressive and authentic menu. The goat curry is off the chart... cocktails are great also. Happy hour is a plus.
G. W.
Had cocktails, and red stripe lager , lovely bar , very chilled, highly recommended
S. M.
Thank you to our server Rosie, great service !
M. T.
Jerk Burger was good and relative filling, getting there before 7 PM to get two for one cocktails is key!
I. O.
Omg that a place. From amazing stuff to food 😋 Definitely we will be back
k. f.
Amazing food and drink! The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are top notch!!! I had the goat curry, give it a try!
P. R.
Nice place, limited menu but the food we had was nice and staff courteous.
S. A.
The food here never disappoints... Neither do the cocktails 😁
M. B.
Great food goodcfor cocktails .Pleasant staff .
B. H.
Good as a quick stop off but limited on drinks of choice. Had a bit of a wait to be served when staff were busy chatting. To be fair it's a very busy place though so they probably deserve a quick 5/10
I. L.
Great atmosphere, attentive staff, great deals on drinks during happy hour.
K. L.
Fabulous place to eat in, good vibe, great choice of food , reasonably priced
A. W.
Brill. Baby back ribs in a jerk sauce. Finger lickin good.

V. B.
Amazing food, friendly staff, great ambience !!
I. C.
Koko kolada has a lot of coconut flavor if you like that
J. H.
Love it. Chilled reggae tunes while downing Red Stripe and the odd 241 cocktail!
k. m.
Turtle Bay is amazing. The food is great, the beers and cocktails flow nicely whether you are there for a casual drink or a night out.
The staff are extremely friendly which add to the brilliant atmosphere.
M. S.
Haven't tried the food yet but the cocktails were great. Served by friendly staff in a vibrant carribean themed setting.
N. B.
Fantastic authentic Caribbean food with great staff. Highly recommend the place!
L. M.
Bottomless brunch is well worth it. 6 cocktails and a nice little meal in 2 hours all for £28 - staff are quick with getting drinks and food out and lovely . cocktails are so tasty too; excited for everything to reopen so i can go again!
J. T.
Great range of Caribbean foods with an expansive menu and vibrant atmosphere. Staff are really friendly and prices are amazing considering the quality. Not a drinker myself, but the cocktail menu is also really popular. I'd recommend the plantain, goat curry and fried chicken with the mac & cheese.
S. F.
Didn't eat, so I can't speak to that. But they gave me a delicious cocktail, amd one for my lady wife for 8.80 on a Friday night. This is enough for a good review from me!
H. T.
My husband and I had dinner at Newcastle Turtle Bay on Friday night. Was a really disappointing experience. We were seated at a table quickly but had to ask for it to be cleaned. My husband ordered the curried goat as his main course but when the meal came it was chicken. Both of our mains were luke warm, the rice and peas was almost cold. My husband tried to complain to the waiter that the food was cold but the waiter pretended he hadn't heard him and walked off. We have never had a bad meal at turtle Bay before and I don't think it's much to expect the food you order to be correct and warm.
S.
Went for bottomless brunch. Service was amazing! Ellie was so attentive. Even gave us a cheesecake for my girlfriend's birthday. Brilliant
V. S.
A group of us went to their bottomless brunch and had an amazing time! We specifically enjoyed Rebecca's service for our table and would definitely come back. She was great!
s. h.
George was fab from start to finish, couldn’t have asked for better service!
s. f.
Lovely food, the cocktails were unreal and reasonably priced especially the 2 for 1 offer and the staff were very polite and friendly. Definitely going again
C.
I've been in a few Turtle Bay restaurants and in every one, the staff have been fantastic. The Newcastle outlet was no exception, really fabulous staff. They let themselves down with the food though. I've had much better jerk chicken and the curried goat was mainly fat and gristle. Lovely flavour though. We will be back just in case they were having an off day.
B. C.
Food was hot, spicy and delicious. 4 of us eating really enjoyed the Goat curry, also tried the Chicken curry, Mac 'N' cheese with chilli prawns and the Shack stack burger and shared 8 sides. Approx £15 per person. Delicious and prices were reasonable, staff were very attentive, shame we never tried the cocktails. Will definitely be making a return visit soon.
R. C.
Beautiful food, wonderful drinks and great friendly staff. Went back later in the evening for more drinks. Will be back when in Newcastle next
A. W.
Went on Saturday for 241 cocktails. Really enjoyed the Mai Tais. The place managed to get us from 2 separate bookings next to each other during a crazy time.
N. F.
Every time I go here, the atmosphere is amazing and the staff are so lovely. Been here a few times now and always want to come back ASAP. Tom in particular was lovely. Amazing place!!!
K. J.
Wonderful food and lovely staff.
J. R. (.
Looked after by Rachel on the bar and absolutely made our experience, total credit to your team and will go back because of her!
A. G.
Have swam with the turtles few times now. Set the world record for most drinks in bottomless brunch (no biggie). Get a roti wrap if you go for brunch. Banging. Avoid Zombie cocktail at all costs. I can still taste it now - I left 5 weeks ago.
D. B.
Food was spot excellent, the restaurant looks authentic. However, the menu isn't the best anymore. When this first opened there was a lot of choice on the menu when it came to deals. Specifically the 2 course & 3 course special. On these offers now you only get 3 options from the main menu for the main meal! No where near as many as the previous menu. Also, you have to pay extra to have chips/fries as a side dish, they don't come with the meal you've ordered which is a bit silly.
All in all, good food but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
J. B.
We came here Saturday night had booked for 5:45 for myself and my partner. We were early on arrival so asked if it would be possible to be seated. Not a problem at all the lovely host at the door took us to a lovely table at the back of the restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious lovely cocktails and the carribean dumplings were to die for. Great service and fabulous music and setting. We will definitely be returning.
J. L.
Absolutely lovely food and great customer service! Thank you
G. S. (.
The frozen strawberry daiquiri nearly killed me off. 0% strawberry 100% rum and food colouring. Nonetheless friendly service and quick even on a busy saturday.
P. D.
Great cocktails and staff is nice. Haven't tried the food tho
B. O.
Best food I've had in Newcastle by far. A place to visit again and again and again
k. c.
First time having Caribbean food, and it was really good, great customer service and a very chilled atmosphere
F. S.
The food here was really excellent. Had the sharing platter and the goat curry, everything was delicious and packed with flavour. Can't really comment on the bar aspect of this place but the food alone is well worth it. Staff (on the whole) were friendly. Prices reasonable. Recommended.
S. R.
I absolutely love this place, amazing food and cocktails. The staff are so amazing and friendly, even the doorman is a complete hun. Especially Gui who works on the bar, he makes amazing cocktails and is a total babe. He always looks after me and makes me feel incredibly welcome! He is a star!
I first went to turtle bay for the food but kept returning because of the lovely staff.
I go here all the time and would recommend it to anyone who loves cocktails, spicy food and a lovely atmosphere.
E. S.
5 of us went. Atmosphere is great. Food was good. One of our group couldn't eat her steak because the sauce on it was too spicy, but the steak was good. I asked what the sauce with my salmon would be like and they offered to do the sauce on the side which was ideal as it was hot, I did like it but wouldn't have wanted it all over my salmon. We had a veggie in our group and she really loved her meal. The staff were pleasant and we all enjoyed it. We will definitely go back. The cocktails are great too
K. B.
Vibrant atmosphere. Staff are friendly without being overbearing. Food is good. Not authentic Caribbean, however they've tried to capture the eating experience from carrots Caribbean islands and not just Jamaica, and it's certainly tasty enough for someone of Caribbean decent (me) to warrant several visits here and try out several different cuisines. If you don't want food then there's a happy hour here where cocktails are 2 for 1, on top of Which there's a couple of bar staff that smash out wonderful cocktails for a pastime. So we'll worth a visit or 2 or 3.
G. M.
Fab Food Cocktails and Service it's definitely a one to visit if in Newcastle shopping x love the presentation of a large diet coke 😉
B. S.
Came here for an evening meal on 18th and not from Newcastle and it looked decent. Menu was good with lots to choose from however a lot of spices and odd sauces. Drinks menu pretty limited unless you like Rum. Had the spicy jerk chicken burger however when it arrived I was pretty disappointed. There was so much sauce, not just on the bun but the vegetables inside were soaked and made the burger a soggy mess.
Service was average but basic steps of service. Staff friendly however. Place lacked atmosphere which didn’t make for a good experience however I understand it can’t be helped.
B. T. Y. V.
Great service, they played great music.
You are treated as a royal and the take hygiene seriously!
As a Jamaican person I rate the food personally and it is great.
Ginger Beer and chicken is Great.
Could definitely have more Caribbean waiters and Chefs to make the atmosphere more realistic. THE
5 STARS
G. P.
Average food , decent service
E. D.
Had the best bottom lunch, totally value, amazing service, couldn't recommend highly enough, and the waitress Rebecca was amazing, never left with empty glass, totally great experience 5*
E. W.
Went in to have 1 cocktail. 4 cocktails later still in there. 2 for 1 on certain days. You just can't say no to that. Nice place to get some food too. The jumbled julep with vodka cocktail absolutely beautiful. Also tastes good with rum. (Not a fan of rum but tbe cocktail i tried with that was very nice. Bar staff are friendly and welcoming too.
S. C.
Amazing food here, live to goat curry one pot very flavoursome
S. J.
We did bottomless bunch yesterday 17/04/21 we had a lovely time drinks flowed the whole time , food lovely the waitress who looked after us (kate) was pleasant always smiling. We definitely be back
H. G.
Tasty food, good music, and great people watching.
T. S.
Projectile vomited in the train station after Turtle Bay's bottomless brunch. Would recommend
B. F.
Missed feelings about this place. They served obviously corked wine to table (got by the glass)-though waitress very busy so had to remind her it was waiting for us at the bst...the fries were barely warm but main courses otherwise nice and reasonable value for town centre. Happy hour cocktails 2 for 1 a good deal. On balance, probably wouldn't visit again.
S. B.
First time here, and trying Caribbean food for real. Went with a friend, who is originally from Grenada so knows a lot about the food. He enjoyed it (it was his first time in Turtle Bay). I tried a starter with Duck Roll. To be honest I could hardly taste the duck because of the sour orange chutney served with it, but nice enough. Main course was Jamaican Browned Chicken. It came in a nice big pan and I enjoyed this. The dumplings that came with it reminded me of the dough used for donuts, and there were slightly hard. I would have preferred something a bit softer. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, and washed it down with nice bottle of Ginger beer. The service was great. The waitress we had was very helpful, personable and cheerful. I'd recommend this place. Give it a try.

First time at Turtle Bay and my wife and I loved it. The food was superb, the staff were friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The banana mama cocktail is possibly my favourite cocktail ever... My only complaint is that there isn't a Turtle Bay in Edinburgh (where we live)
T.
I loved this place. It was unfortunate that there were not many people in the bar / restaurant as it would have been nice to have a little more atmosphere, but I suppose this was due to the cold wet weather.
The choice of food is amazing and well proportioned, it would have been great to eat proper sized doubles (a street food speciality in Trinidad and Tobago) in their authentic form, but I understand this is catered for a UK market The music was nice and at a comfortable level. Caribbean tunes would have suited the evening. My colleagues and I enjoyed our visit, here first sipping our cocktails followed by our meal.
I'm intrigued to see if London branches are similar.
I would appreciate a thumbs up if you found this review helpful. Thank you 😊
D. E.
Absolutely love this place, we've visited 3 times now and the food is amazing, great offers and very very long happy hours. Staff have been great, atmosphere is really nice and they are the service is quick! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed
K. S.
Great service when wanting to order a takeaway. They were quiet at the time so definitely showing their customers care and attention. I ordered a Trini curry and waited at the bar whilst entertained with chit chat from the bartender. Very generous in napkins, food was well packed and incredibly tasty! Thanks for the recommendation with which curry to choose!
A. H.
One of the best restraunt's in Newcastle, food is simply superb, recommend the Trinidad double and the jerk chicken with salad, cocktails, pineapple lemonade. Simply delicious! Happy staff and a good atmosphere. Music decor...Happy customer
J. B.
Food was quite good, as much as you can expect I suppose from a place that picks up quite the audience in the evenings, mainly being a functional bar. Ribs I ordered tasted nice in terms of the pork flavour, however they could have benefited from additional marinating with it being 'jerk' style. Overall not too bad but don't expect a meal where you can hear eachother talk, especially on a Saturday
k. a.
Great food laid back atmosphere brilliant music staff were excellent
D. S.
Great place with quick service. 2 4 1 cocktails before 7 (reccomend the ting a ling). Food was great, we enjoyed the set menu with 2 courses for £13 each and didn't walk away hungry. We will definitely re visit this chain, definitely reccomend.
A. C.
Chloe was amazing general manager full of life. Shew really loves her job and gives off the culture of Caribbean people. Always happy and enjoying life..
m. t.
We had a table booked for 6pm but as we finished shopping early with one and half hrs to go we tried our luck at getting a table early and we did, great start!! Staff were very helpful and friendly when ordering and we really enjoyed our food and drinks. I'm not a big fan of food that's to hot/spicy but this was just enough so that you could still taste it. Good atmosphere everyone seemed to be having a good time and having a look about at everyone's else's food it looked nice too.
a. g.
Nice place for meals and cocktails, only thing is the quantity against the price. A little too high for 5-6 plantains. Overall a good vibe and uplift your moods due to its tropical tunes. Night dinner is more recommend.
S. S.
Meg from Newcastle branch was amazing!! Such quick and friendly service and suggested some amazing drinks. Will definitely return after this experience!
K. 6.
Lovely food great service. Happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails was a bonus. An indicator on the menu to say hot and spicy the meals are would help. Great relaxed feel for casual dining and/or drinking. Light bites/tapas style food avilable as well as three couse meals. Also although it was 6pm onwards on a Saturday night, for people sitting eating the volume of the music was quite loud and on top of that lots of people talking ment we struggled to hear the waiter and had to almost shout at each other to talk.
C. A.
I have not yet eaten at the Newcastle Turtle Bay but I was a little disappointed when I ate at the Middlesbrough one a year ago, the food was not bad it was just not particularly memorable for such a gleefully themed place. However I was in the bar after 10pm purely and simply for the two for one cocktails. In this they are absolutely faultless. The Range is brilliant and of high quality particularly for the price.
k. r.
I went here yesterday with my partner for our Valentine's meal. From the moment we stepped through the door was such a nice atmosphere off the staff felt so warm and welcoming . The food was lovely and the mocktails were just as good. Would definitely recommend trying here even if you are just wanting drinks well worth your money.
C. W.
Staff brilliant very pleasant always have time to chat. Food is very good if you like caribbean
Food. Do lovely cocktails
K. M.
The staff are great, will smile, chat and have a laugh with you. Two for one cocktails is great for my partner (I don't like cocktails) but they could perhaps offer more options on draught. The food is really tasty, I always appreciate a kitchen you can see into and the one here is spotless.
S. B.
The interior is beautiful. The food is quite good with a unique menu with a good few original dishes to choose from. The cocktails were tasty with a good deal. Staff were friendly and it had a very nice atmosphere. Worth a visit.
L. A.
Visited here with a few friends on bank holiday Monday for food. Booked in advance as we thought it was going to be busy but loads of tables available when we got there. I shared 3 starters and a side of chips with another person as we weren’t very hungry. Opted for the Chilli Shrimp Open Roti, Salt Cod Fish Cakes and the Jerk chicken wings. The Roti were very doughy and a bit greasy but the prawns were good with a nice taste, the fish cakes were a little crispy but again tasted good and gave a different texture to a traditional fish cake which was pleasant and the wings were good but I’ve had better at local chicken restaurants in Newcastle. The cocktails were delicious at 2 for 1 (we got there in time for happy hour). Staff are attentive and friendly too which is a bonus! Service charge was added but not sure if this is normal or because we were a party of 5.
w. w.
Amazing place!! Fantastic staff I've been to several turtle bays and newcastle easily has the best! And that's not to shun any other turtle bay Newcastle staff Is just too good, great food and amazing order to table times. Cant say enough good things.
S. M.
In love with the Reggae Rum Punch! Will definitely back as the 2 for 1 offer is brilliant!
J. G.
Food great and very nice server. When you enter a restaurant that is found inside of a shopping centre one makes a certain amount of assumptions that are not always positive. I am afraid I will need to admit I did the same when entering the gate. The music was very loud and I felt that considering it was about an hour from closing I was surprised and there was not many people dancing or enjoying it. However as the old saying goes "you should not judge a book by its cover" and this is very much the case. My paty of 5 had a great time. Drinks where the best thing with very talented barstaff
S. B.
I absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is great, the prices are good (especially the 2 for 1 cocktails) and the bar staff are brilliant. I didn't catch his name but the guy with a beard behind the bar is fantastic. I'll definitely be back here again when I come back to Newcastle!
m.
It's nice inside and staff are pleasant. 2-4-1 cocktails authenticity is questionable. Ordered 2 mai Tai's and they came unless than a minute. I'd imagine it's a premade mix, similar to what you can buy in homebargains cheapo store. Won't be going back
S. Q. (. Q.
Didn't have very high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Food was good. Drinks were good. Wouldn't be my first choice again but certainly wouldn't mind going back. Perfect if you are looking for big chain offerings where you know what to expect.
P. R.
During happy hour it's great value cocktails. The food is decent.
K. M.
Couldn't fault our time here last night. First time in Newcastle and they were defiantly the cherry on top of our night! Staff were amazing, couldn't fault them at all! A little wait on the food but the 2 4 1 cocktails made up for that! The food was also gorgeous! Young blonde waitress knew her stuff with what to try due to us all being clueless! We even got 10% of our final bill just because we were polite and good customers! Will defiantly be back!
V. A.
Awesome place to come for not only a meal (I had the Shimp and Mango Curry with a green salad), but some cocktails as well ( 2 for 1 in my case).
Very friendly customer service (Rachael at dinner helped me with recommendations ) and Joe and Leah at the bar are very efficient and great to chat to .
E. A.
Brilliant service, very friendly staff. The menu could do with either a longer description of if a dish is spicy or not, or to add a chilli rating to such dishes as one of my party got a shock with one of their starters as it was much spicier than they let on.
G. “. B.
The food was beautiful especially the sweetcorn fritters and curried goat which had a fair bit heat in it. We arrived for happy hour and the Cocktails were good but small. Nice atmoshere and great service.
a. m.
Very vivid place, with great customer service and lovely colorful deco ! Lifts you up! Maybe some more variety of music should be considered, but great place for a drink out. Haven't tasted the food yet but I will next time I visit the place.
V. M.
First time I had tried Caribbean food. Was beautiful and the staff were really helpful in recommending dishes I might like. Two for one cocktails were also great.
A. M.
My favourite place ever! I love it, drinks are colourful and for an instant you feel in a tropical island. Smiley faces everywhere and courteous staff. Tables are little bit sticky they should improve on this aspect.
G. B.
Just popped in here for a meal. I was on my own and had a lovely welcome from the staff. I had the curry goat and a pint of red stripe. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back. Great food, great service.
D. P.
Excellent cocktails! Wonderful friendly staff. Haven't tried the food there yet, have been told that it's very good.
D. H.
Food was delicious

S. W.
Fantastic
Great food fantastic service
Really enjoyed it
A. G.
Really good value rum cocktails on Sunday night; just a shame that within ten mins of arriving someone stole a brand new expensive scarf from our chairs as we went to the bar to get drinks. Won’t return for that reason - couldn’t relax then all night looking after our coats and bags
J. H.
i love turtle bay I have been to several restaurants in Manchester and Newcastle and the food is consistently good quality, really tastey and full of flavour and it is very reasonably priced. the staff always make you feel very welcome and are happy to help. i will be back for a visit!
E.
Worth visiting just for cocktails with the 2.4.1 offer. Also the food is nice and they have a nice range of interesting foods. A nice new jamaican touch to newcastle. Only critisism is the service can be slow at times even when its not that busy. My last visit the food was really good had the street burger and my fiance had the jerk chicken burger. But when i asked for the bill it took about 20 minutes for the staff to bring the card machine.
F. A.
FIRST TIME at Turtle Bay, atmosphere excellent waitress spot on , polite and curtious, Atire in the restaurant was relaxed and stylish really fitted in with the vibe of the place. So to the order.. ordered the spare ribs with the jerk sauce on top with sweet potato fries and coleslaw, and a pint of diet coke, the coke was delivered in a very unusual bottle with an elastic band on top and what looked like a piece of paper on top. I liked this it was something different and again fitted in with the theme of the restaurant. FOOD ARRIVED IN RECORD TIME 👏.Food tasted great the ribs where tender and extremely succulent. The sweet potatoes fries once dipped in the jerk sauce gave you that carribean soul dealing.. life is good.... Which was really nice and cooked just right, again a little bit hotter would have been spot on.
Overall you will not be DISSAPOINTED with this restaurant, reasonable prices, good Food, polite service.
Well done all 👍
S. B.
Food was delicious, shame the waitress was miserable, unsocialable and even asked if we were in a hurry for food (we weren't but she took a long time to take drinks order). Would come again for the food and general atmosphere, Hopefully get a better waitress!
E. M.
Loved this place, great atmosphere, cocktails and food!
M. M.
drinks here before going for meal. unusual offer, 2 for one on cocktails, but that meant getting 2 of the same cocktail, rather than 2 different for the price of one. a little slow at the bar, and one barmaid in particular needs to smile some more, but a pleasant time none the less.
M. W.
Lovely food and decor Shane about the low hanging kight shades a walked into 3 times though haha
R. T.
What a treat Turtle Bay is! With a huge menu of light and large dishes, you're bound to find something that fits your needs - be it snack or stacked. Heads up though, as I'm yet to find a dish that isn't hot, hot, hot!
You can always pass on the food, and visit to treat yourself to some of the tastiest cocktails around. You might not like rum now, but they'll convince you it can taste great.
P. G.
The food is so damn tasty and reasonably priced. But, if drinking make sure you buy your cocktails on Happy Hour. The food is to die for and we will be back again, no doubt.
A. T.
Amazing food great service and viberent atmosphere
L.
The two for one cocktails until 7pm were great! The food menu was varied and good value for money. I'd definitely go back.

S.
Update on my previous review, mostly came for the 2-1 cocktails but this time got a snack of mac and cheese bites from the bar menu. By god I will be coming back for the main menu they were god damn delicious.
Honestly I really regret not coming back for the food sooner!
D. M.
Called in to try it out, every thing was spot on, friendly helpful staff, cocktails were 2 for 1 and the food was perfect, definitely some were to try if you fancy a change.
