About Turtle Bay Milton Keynes

The menu draws on 15 dishes, with rice bowls and roti wraps alongside the Vegan Yardbird and Honey Bunny Yardbird, and jerk chicken appears as a recurring item.

Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly singling out attentive servers keeping cocktails flowing and dishes like the mango chicken, squid, and shrimp landing well. Jerk chicken and curried goat also get strong mentions, with one diner calling the fried chicken the best they've had and praising mac and cheese bites, while others highlight the tamarind salmon and caramel brownies. Cocktails are a repeated highlight, though a few reviewers found them watered down or syrup-heavy rather than properly mixed. Service is mostly described as friendly and quick, but several visits were marred by menu items being unavailable, forgotten orders like desserts and lemonade, and skimpy rice and peas portions that sometimes had to be sent back. One reviewer also describes a staff member shouting across the restaurant at a colleague, which they found unprofessional and startling. Another reports being told takeaway was no longer offered after previously being able to order it. Despite these lapses, many describe returning repeatedly, with one couple noting the restaurant now holds a special place in their relationship after a first date there.

    “The service here was very good, we were seated straight away as a walk in and were served quickly. The food and mocktails were nice however my portion of rice and peas was more like plain rice as it had literally two kidney beans in. I did mention this and was given another portion which was better. The background music was a bit of a let down as it wasn't even reggae - not while we were there anyway.”
  • Lottie Lambert
    “Had a fantastic experience at this spot in Milton Keynes. The atmosphere is vibrant and really draws you in from the moment you walk through the doors. We ordered a few different plates to share, and everything was full of flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, topped with a beautiful, rich sauce and a generous sprinkle of fresh herbs and chili flakes that added a great kick. It was a lovely, relaxed meal and I would definitely recommend coming here for a bite to eat.”
  • Kristin Jamison
    “Jack our server was excellent. We greatly appreciated the kindness and wonderful service. We had started at another nearby restaurant that provided neither and were very pleased with our experience here. Food was equally excellent.”

    “Skye was absolutely amazing!!!! She looked after us we were soooo indecisive and Skye walked us through alll the options and showed us pictures off all the foods. We decided to go for the tamarind salmon with chargrilled veg absolutely amazing! We also went for the whole sea bream with mac and cheese and garlic flat bread! We don’t drink but the best mocktail was the pina colada! The best side was the chili squid and pit prawns 🍤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The service was amazing the service was so so quick and swift!!!”
