JOPLINS RESTAURANT REVIEWS

This was an amazing dining experience from start to finish. We dined here for my birthday. Best choice we could have made. Wonderful staff, couldn't do enough for us. The food is delicious, best seafood we have ever had. If we could give it 6 stars we would. We can't wait to return in the future.

Lovely meal, great for seafood with a wine list to match. Had the scallops & halibut/sole, paired with the house Rosé in an intimate space with attentive service, well worth seeking out when in the North East.

Went for the first time over the weekend. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was brilliant as was the service. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

TURTLE BAY MIDDLESBROUGH REVIEWS

Grace was absolutely fantastic, her service was second to none and she was so lovely, we had such a great time, a few hours child free was absolutely lovely and Grace kept the drinks coming and made sure we had a great time! Thankyou from two very exhausted parents! You are a credit to the team xx.

Absolutely amazing food and lovely welcoming staff. A massive shout out to Jade who served me and helped me with what to order. Thank you to Lauren for making my delicious cocktails. Can not recommend this place enough. I will be back.

My wife and I tried it out for the first time and the experience was spectacular! The food was so delicious we spent over our budget haha. If you love Jamaican food, reggae music, then you should visit Turtle Bay. And… the waitress Lucy was super helpful and nice to us, I will definitely recommend.

BAZAAR RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I have been to different restaurants in Middlesbrough, and I can say this is the best. The food is wonderful, excellent service, staffs are so welcoming, the atmosphere is simply beautiful. Above all, the head chef who is also the owner is so friendly. I have been there four times, and each time he had found the time to personally welcome me. I celebrated my birthday there and he came out to say hello to my guests and that was really nice. I will surely be back.

Bazaar in Middlesbrough is a brilliant spot – stylish, modern, and full of atmosphere. The menu is huge with plenty of vegetarian options, and the food is really tasty. Service was great too, with a lot of attention to detail. Definitely worth a visit.

The food was amazing, highly recommend the Egyptian stew. The staff were lovely, the service was a little slow, but it was a busy Saturday night. Great atmosphere, the place looked incredible. 100% recommend.
