Authentic caribbean cuisine London
Culinary-wise, the "Turtle Bay Hammersmith" focuses on fresh, spicy dishes inspired by the Caribbean islands. A highlight is the "Jerk Chicken," succulent chicken marinated in the typical spicy jerk seasoning and grilled to perfection—often served with crispy spiced fries, praised for their flavorful crust. The "Curry Goat Hash" is also a favorite: tender goat meat in a fragrant curry sauce combined with potatoes offers a deep, comforting flavor. For a lighter option, there are "Crispy Chilli Squid," crispy fried squid rings with a sweet and spicy chili glaze, which are delightful as an appetizer or snack. The kitchen places great emphasis on versatility, with numerous vegetarian and vegan options that also capture the bold flavors of the Caribbean. For dessert, the "Banana Toffee Cheesecake," a creamy blend of banana and toffee, provides a perfect sweet finish.
Best cocktails at Turtle Bay
The drink menu is another reason for the restaurant's popularity, particularly its tropical cocktails. The "2-4-1" offer during Happy Hour is a crowd-pleaser, allowing guests to enjoy two identical cocktails for the price of one. Notably, the "Rasta Road," a fruity rum cocktail with pineapple and passion fruit, captures the Caribbean lightness. The "Bottomless Brunch" is also a hallmark of Turtle Bay—a deal where guests can enjoy unlimited cocktails and a dish of their choice for a set period, which is particularly popular among groups. In addition to cocktails, there is a selection of Caribbean beers and non-alcoholic beverages that round out the offerings.
