Quick info
About Turtle Bay Coventry
Turtle Bay Coventry is a Caribbean restaurant at Unit 9 in Coventry, built around a jerk pit where food is marinated for 24 hours in a jerk rub and then flame-grilled. The menu runs beyond the grill to curry goat and sweetcorn fritters, so a table can mix grilled and slow-cooked dishes. A Carnival Brunch sits on the menu as well. Cocktails are ordered alongside the food, and the Classic sharing meal suits couples and groups who want to pass dishes around the table. Music plays through the room during service.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most often to one server, described repeatedly as friendly and attentive, whose drink recommendations several call spot on and for whom nothing was too much trouble. The food comes close behind. One diner calls the curry goat tender and moist and also names the sweetcorn fritters, calamari, mango fried chicken and gorgeous courgettes, while others describe food full of flavour that arrived fresh and hot. The Carnival Brunch is praised for its food, drinks and value, and the cocktails are called fantastic. The caveats are cost, filler dishes and noise. One reviewer finds the food expensive for the portion size, and another warns that the Classic sharing meal is priced per person rather than as a total. That same diner found the coleslaw and cucumber dishes unnecessary and not that tasty. One family describes the atmosphere as a bit loud and quite busy, though another table found the music just the right volume for a long catch-up. One couple even hugged their server at the end of the night.

“We spent a wonderful few hours at Turtle Bay, enjoying delicious food, fantastic cocktails, and a brilliant atmosphere. The music was just the right volume – lively enough to create a great vibe but quiet enough that we could relax, chat, and properly catch up. A special mention has to go to our waitress, Kaela. She was an absolute pleasure from start to finish – friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. She quickly understood that we were there for a long, relaxed catch-up and never made us feel rushed. Our drinks arrived with perfect timing throughout the afternoon, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and paired perfectly with the cocktails. It all made for a fabulous afternoon of eating, drinking, laughing, and making memories. Thank you, Kaela, for helping make our visit so enjoyable – we’ll definitely be back!”
