About Tortuga Droylsden
Caribbean Restaurant in Manchester
Tortuga Droylsden is tucked away in Manchester, a friendly little spot that feels a world away from the city buzz. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming; it's brightly lit and cheerfully decorated, creating a really comfortable vibe. Looking through the photos online, I noticed they've done a great job of making the space feel both modern and Caribbean-inspired.
Their menu focuses on classic Caribbean dishes with a modern twist. They've got jerk chicken, curries, and plenty of rice and beans, all presented beautifully. One photo shows a perfectly plated plate of fish with vibrant, colourful vegetables. I’d definitely recommend trying their plantains; they were cooked to perfection.
What makes Tortuga special is its genuine warmth and friendly service. It's perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends or a family meal. It's a nice change of pace from the usual Manchester restaurants and offers a true taste of Caribbean home-style cooking in a charming, unpretentious setting.

Been looking for a decent Caribbean since the unfortunate passing of The Rolling Chef and to be honest I have struggled. I heard a lot of good things about this place and thought I'd give it a try. Luckily I have found a great Caribbean Restaurant in Tortuga which is by far the best around north east Manchester. I've only tried the Curry Goat but the flavours were great and the portion size for the money was fantastic. I often wonder why a lot of these restaurants do not serve Jollof Rice as an alternative to Rice and Peas but I can say with confidence this place serves the best Rice and Peas that I've ever eaten. Although the photos may look dry, the sauce was underneath the rice so it wasn't dry at all. The amount of tasty delicious goat was overly generous and I certainly will be a returning customer.
African and Caribbean food. Lovely friendly professional and very good for the local community. I've been eating in there when homeless people have came in asking for any food they have spare. They always feed them before sending them on their way. I've never seen them refuse to help the hungry. The staff dote on their customers and are always in earshot in case you need them. Yet because they cook everything from fresh ingredients including Halal meat they can often take a little bit longer to get the food to you so sit back relax listen to their popular Reggae music and try their strawberry cocktail whilst you wait.
Food is excellent nice reasonable prices good selection if dishes really good lunch offers ribs & lamb chops are very good still some room for little improvements
Second time we have had bottomless brunch here, service was absolutely fantastic as was the food cocktails and value for money.... special mention to Dion and Naz who work so hard and put absolutely everything into delivering great service, the owner ( didn't get his name) also gets very involved, to ensure everyone is happy, great atmosphere, cannot recommend enough!!!
Visited Tortuga for lunch today. The food was fantastic. I also really liked the atmosphere as it was really chilled and relaxed. The service was also amazing. The young lady was attentive, humourous and knowledgeable with all the items on the menu. All in all I had a great time and will definitely be returning soon.
