"I’ve wanted to eat here since I moved north in November and it’ll be the first of many visits from now on. Our first time here with a table for 5 and all sharing meant we tasted a big section of the menu (see images of the menu). Each of the portions was very generous to say the least. What amazed us all we’re the complex flavour combinations. They were slightly weird on some but they all worked and very well too. Alkaline Nachos £10.95 Nachos with marinated baked quinoa, topped with refried beans, cashew sour cream, guacamole, pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage. All with a smoked cashew cheese drizzle over. They were indulgent, sweeter than I’ve had before and had tangy twist too. BBQ Tacos £9.50 Shredded carrot in an alkaline BBQ sauce in a crispy corn shell, filled with refried beans and guacamole. Topped with pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage, served with a side salad. Best BBQ tacos in the north so far. Thai Buddy Bowl £10.95 Orange teriyaki chickpea tofu surrounded by, pineapple 'fried ' quinoa, purple coleslaw, a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and quinoa falafels topped with mango chutney. Crazy flavours that worked really well. This was my favourite dish and I could eat this most days of the week. I’ll be back for this dish on its own. Thai Wrap £9.95 Quinoa and peanut butter falafels in a soft wrap with mango chutney, coleslaw and kimchi served with a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and pineapple quinoa. A mental combination of ingredients for a falafel but was amazing. Again, sweeter than I’d have imagined. Pink Pitaya Acai Bowl £5.50 A fruity smoothie bowl topped with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana kiwi and coconut (we held the seeds). What an amazing breakfast. A real power breakfast too. Immunity Boost Juice £4.00 (x2) Strawberry, pear, apple and lemon juice. Refreshing and moreish. Tropical Sunrise Smoothie £4.50 Papaya, mango, orange, banana, coconut, maple and cashew smoothie. It was as nice as you’d expect and none of the fruits lost their identity due to the power of another. Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie £4.50 Strawberries, banana, peanut butter, maple and lemon smoothie. Another one that doesn’t quite sound right but really does. The peanut butter was not overpowering and provided a nice earthy grainy taste and texture, lifted by the sweetness of the fruit. A great experience and worth the wait. Would I recommend Ohhhhhh Yes"

"A vegan extravaganza. Happy Cow reserve 5 stars for vegan or veggie outlets only. I get that, but Turtle Bay hasn’t had a review by vegans that I can tell and the food blew two vegans away, so here’s 5 well deserved stars. There’s more than enough choice when it comes to choosing options from the vegan menu. It’s a Caribbean joint so embrace the sweetness of some dishes and spice of others, all washed down with amazing drinks. Going out on the town try the bottomless brunch. The Vegan Island Buddha Bowl hit every conceivable taste on my buds last time I visited, and The Vegan Organic Tofu Buddha Bowl this time was equally as amazing. I’d go back just for that. But if wanna mix it up, get a Vegan Yardbird (and share with your partner) it was amazing. The plantain was sweet, sticky and a hot gorgeous complement to the bowl. A portion of Caribbean dumplings made sure the plates were clean enough to put back on the shelf. Having washed it down with fiery ginger beer, My only regret was not having enough space for pudding what a shame. I think I’ll need to return 5 times to complete the menu and if this visit was anything to go by, I’m in for a real treat. Updated from previous review on 2021 10 23"

"The Zetland has just fully reopened after major building works and my wife and I were delighted as ever to be able to eat here again. As always the reception from Philip was warm and friendly. The food choices were as good as ever. The only criticism was that the chicken supreme which is my wife’s favourite was not available as they were awaiting supplies. A pity as my wife reckons it’s the best she’s ever tasted! We had a relaxed meal occasionally watching the workers completing the improvements to the outside are and railway station. All in all a great experience."
