Turtle Bay Camden

Walk down Jamestown Road towards the canal and you'll hit this place that's somehow managed to stay consistently packed without losing its soul. The space is unapologetically colourful—think murals, dangly lights, and enough reggae to make you want to move your hips whilst eating. Order the jerk chicken or the seafood curry, grab a rum punch that'll make you forget it's drizzling outside, and settle in at communal tables where you'll probably end up chatting to the couple next to you. It's the kind of restaurant that gets better the louder it gets.
