Would you not be disappointed if you went for a ruby and got served by white people?

Waitress offered my boy chips with his curry goat when he asked for plain rice instead of rice and peas as they don't sell plain rice which is weird

Also don't sell Mac and cheese

Had to get the burnt black ribs recooked too

Food was shit, haven't been back since and never will

C/s the jerk not being jerk which that dry burts jerk seasoning

3/10 and that's pushing up

C/s the decor though

Went Turtle Bay in Ealing in December with my girl.

 

Caribbean restaurant, Black owned i believe. The guy i think maybe Indian/Trini/Black kinda mix (Me and my girl did a few little searches whilst waiting for our food.

 

Good decor, nice atmosphere, caribbean music playing and not ub40, up to date relevant dancehall and soca (obviously restaurant friendly, heard some Popcaan)

 

Food was nice, and reasonably priced. On 1st impressions could only see white people from looking in from the outside so we had a funny thought as to what it would be like, but as soon as we stepped in there were lots of others and variety of different peoples.

 

They have a bar too, and the happy hour was from 8-10/11 i believe, this added to the busyness of the place as people were constantly coming in. Have to book well in advance if you want a table especially on weekends. We had to order food from the bar and find a space to eat it, luckily right next to where we ordered, people were just finishing their meal so we had their space. 

 

Decor was on point, had the caribbean rustic feel to it, whilst being modern enough for a busy lively restaurant. 

 

Wasnt just Jamaican dishes neither, got some trini doubles and curry chick peas which i finished within minutes. Even the bowls reminded me of them old bowls that my nan used to have, it brang back memories. 

 

The Jerk wasnt Jerk though, well not for me that was my only disappointment. 

 

Overall, making the drive from Lee, South east london (between Lewisham, Catford and Grove Park) to Ealing just to eat, we didnt feel like it was a wasted time. 

That near the strip club and nightclub?

 

 

 

I dunno mate, we were hungry just drove 1 hour from Lee to Ealing, once we found the place we were straight in so we can nyam food, wernt really looking whats near the local area, but it was lit up and there were alot of shops, i do remember a triangle kinda road off of what looked like the main high street, as we were looking for somewhere to park
