Amazing service from Darina and all of the team. Had a friend's birthday party here, and they were all so great! Darina even sang happy birthday as she brought the cake out!

UMAMI Street Food

I was working near by and discovered this lovely place couple of days ago.

The stuff is very welcoming and friendly, atmosphere is great.
So far I have tried Umami Burger, Half a Chicken and Curry. Everything was very delicious. Just tried dessert and it was amazing.

Pho

Great place.
While visiting GunWarlf Quays needed a spot of lunch. Looked and sounded interesting so popped in.
Didn’t wait was seated straight away, friendly staff greeted professionally.
Staff attentive and answered questions about the menu.
The only downside was seeing a member of staff drinking an energy drink in the open kitchen.
Clean and fresh.
Food looked and tasted fresh.
Good size portions.

German Doner Kebab

Really lovely lunch at GDK today, not too expensive and arrived hot and packed with flavour. Our server Thili was so lovely and helped me with the menu. Wasn’t very busy which was a shame but I will definitely be coming back

Las Iguanas - Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays

Julia and Sinchana saved the day when our original server was unfortunately not being very attentive to our table but seemed to give a lot of attention elsewhere. Julia and Sinchana were so polite and efficient, so thank you for making our girly brunch an enjoyable experience ???

Sakura Portsmouth Japanese Restaurant

Excellent Japanese restaurant, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes.
Definitely worth a visit, we loved the garlic fried rice, chicken noodles and Southsea Maki sushi amongst many others.
Friendly, efficient and relatively quick service. We will visit again.

Ship Anson

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is spot on, relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely great and always polite, helpful and quick to make sure everything is alright. The food is always really tasty and consistent, which is why we keep coming back. Never had a bad meal here and it never disappoints. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Solent Grill Restaurant

Obviously, they’re very local to my house, but so are many Other fast food places, but here you get a very good service very good food just on the main road near the precinct with lots of parking for me it’s a win-win.

The chap who served me on Thursday night was great. He told me about a deal, but then he forgot to put thr bbq drizzle on thd pizza. He actually ran down thd road after me totell me! Wow!

Tex Mex Premium Street Food

Just visited this lovely little food outlet, the food itself was just so incredibly scrumptious and would definitely Be returning in the future, staff were just a delight and very polite.
In just passing we were drawn in to dine here and haven’t regretted our decision. Highly recommend and with such a varied menu there is something to cater for everyone’s needs, even those pesky picky eaters?

Sovereigns

Food was lovely, the chocolate fudge cake will always be a favourite. Zunita and Mollie are fab. They always go above and beyond for us, nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. Would happily come back again ?

Fantastic service and food for our new year's meal - we were served by Pete, Isabelle, Sabi and Rocio - they were all very polite and friendly. Highly recommend

Agora Restaurant

I’ve been to this restaurant twice and both times it has been an absolutely lovely experience. Their food is amazing and very authentic to Turkish cuisine. The restaurant staff are so welcoming and friendly and provide great service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try lovely Mediterranean food and sit in a beautiful restaurant.

Cosy Club

Really nice food and a good atmosphere. Service was excellent. Megan was probably the most organised and polite server I've ever come across. She dealt with our large group with calm professionalism especially when it came to splitting our bill amongst multiple people.

Chiquito

Visited for Sunday Tea and food was amazing tasty, good portion size and excellent value for money.\nStaff were friendly and knowledgeable explaining a couple of items on the menu.\nThe restaurant was busy but you were not rushed or didn't feel you were overheard.\nWell worth a visit.

Maeme’s Portsmouth

A good spot for halal takeaway in Portsmouth, in my opinion. I've visited a few times while in the area and always had a pleasant experience. The seating is comfortable, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

The food is generally very good — especially the grilled chicken, which I would definitely recommend.

One suggestion for improvement: the portion sizes could be a bit larger for the price.

Natty's Jerk

Got a Nattys roast delivery ! Really good, really good spin on a traditional roast, so much flavour ! would highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good Companion

Arsenal fan here...attended at 10am this morning for the FA Cup fixture. We were first through the door and just wanted to say the staff were outstanding! The bar was run like a military operation, super fast service and coped brilliantly with a packed crowd! All members of staff were attentative and welcoming and I hope they are rewarded appropriately! Thanks ?

Rapscallions

Amazing experience at rapscallions this evening. We had the bottomless brunch and were served by Chole. They were extremely attentive and asked us regularly what drinks we would like so we were always topped up!! Fantastic service, would definitely recommend. Thank you Chloe!

The Briny

Had the most amazing seafood meal, everything was so fresh, staff was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu especially Clare. Would definitely come back here again. Drinks and desserts were lovely.

Frankie & Benny's

Our favourite place to eat! We came out tonight for our son's birthday and Paulina made it extra special! The kindest waitress who made our whole evening, nothing was too much for her! Thank you so much and we'll see you again soon ?

Deep Blue Fish & Chips

I'm not a regular when it comes to enjoying fish and chips but when I do I'm always hopeful the quality will be good.
I popped in last night, ordered regular cod and chips. Wow, this outlet 'kicked it out the park' regarding service, friendliness and quality. All is cooked on arrival, no longer left to dry out. Although I was informed sausages tast better if left for 15 mins post cooking.
My fish and chips were the best I've eaten in many, many years. A generous portion and very tasty.
I'd recommend trying their food.

Brasserie Blanc

From the moment we walked in the door we felt completely looked after. The maitre’d and Katie our waiter couldn’t have been more attentive. They made us feel extremely welcome and looked after us incredibly well. The food was delicious and really large portions for the prix fixe. Definitely coming back soon!

Brewhouse & Kitchen - Portsmouth

Great beers and fantastic food at a very reasonable price. Our server Kane was polite, engaging and very funny. When some servers can be so disengaging (or downright rude as I’m currently finding 100 yards down the road) this lad went out of his way to make our visit a pleasure. Keep up the good work.

Cosham Balti House

Our regular Indian takeaway! We do order direct from their website for best value, Uber Eats double the price & are often met with lots of delivery issues. We thoroughly enjoy the food at Cosham Balti House. It always arrives on time, piping hot & cooked to perfection. We regularly recommend to all our friends & family. The in-house delivery team are extremely friendly.

Mick's Monster Burgers

Costa Coffee

I don't normally like Costa coffee but there is a girl there that I like so I am drinking more coffee than usual.Parking: Parking is when you leave your car in a car sized area of ground and pay for short term occupation of the said space

Subway

Subway veg wrap is fresh, tasty, and filling, making it a good option for a quick vegetarian meal, and the service by Anil Sharma, makes the experience even better.

McDonald's

Very busy on match days as it is right next to Fratton Park so best to check if Portsmouth are playing beforehand. Service and food are good, been here several times and never had any issues.

McDonald's

Great service as usual

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Can get in and out easy access for wheelchair

Mystic Coffee Lounge

What a fabulous job Kate has done on the coffee shop❣️(Feng Shui)

It’s been a while since I ventured over. Great to meet the lovely Karen (who had me laughing within 5 minutes of entering the door).
I also had the pleasure of chatting with Sophie (the daughter of spiritual royalty Mavis Patilla).

The salted caramel brownie blondie cake comes highly recommended (delicious) and Wendy enjoyed a bacon sandwich and birthday cheesecake.

A gorgeous selection of crystals and couldn’t resist Kate’s Astro Tarot Deck!

Doggy friendly too for Princess Ciao Bella.

We’ll be back!

The Pembroke

Draught Bass, London Pride, and another! Tried all 3 and of course they tasted as they should, wonderful ! A great old local serves wine and other alcoholic drinks as you’d expect from a decent booza ! Barmaid great too!

The Ship & Castle

A pub in is own little time capsule although to be fair they sell a decent rose. Warm welcome, hot classic food, (including spotted dick and custard) convenient for the ferry. Keep on going guys! Would come again.

The Sally Port Inn

Went into this pub tonight with friends for a quick drink and stayed for longer! Well designed and decorated with a great atmosphere, and friendly attentive staff.
Good beer selection and free nibbles.
We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come again.

The Portsbridge

Lovely pub!! Bar staff was amazing. Food and service was excellent. For a relatively busy night all staff was serving with smiles and attention never needing to wait to long. Greate value for money will be visiting again! \nThank you Stacey, kirsty and lexi for a pleasant experience!

Nice Tin Tin Chinese Restaurant

We had the set buffet, which was an eat as much as you like affair. Service was swift and polite. The food was delivered hot and was tasty with lots of choice. Good value and we will go again

Mowchak

Came here Christmas Day and Valentine’s Day - a great effort was put in with decor and especially at valentines- chocs, complimentary drink, and a rose. Lovely

Britannia Fish and Chips

Delicious food and great prices! Best fish and chips I think I've ever had! Fish was perfectly cooked with a light, very crispy batter. Hardly any grease at all. The chips were lightly crispy on the outside and perfectly moist in the middle....no powdery stuff here! The owner came out to ask us how our meal was, spoke to us about how they choose their potatoes and their methods of perfecting the batter. Serving staff were really polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

Greggs

I have to say I was really impressed with the service from the staff so polite friendly and above all else extremely helpful , the trays of food that was made was amazing, very fresh lots of variety in the sandwiches sausage rolls gorgeous, and the price was so affordable. Thankyou for the amazing food and friendly atmosphere in your shop we are coming back for more #paulsgrove shop#

Sunny's Fish Bar

Ocean Fresh Fish & Chips

Not one to usually make reviews here, but felt that I had to with this shop. Went here with a few family friends and then to the beach, amazing amount of food for the price. Best fish and chips I've had while living 20 years in portsmouth. Owner is kind and passionate If I'll ever need fish and chips this'll be the place to walk out of my way to.

Shahee Tandoori

Ordered a Keema Rice, Shish kebab, garlic cheese naan n a portion of chips with a side of mint sauce and me and my family were so impressed with this place, the food was soo good, i put the kebab inside the naan like a wrap and dipped it into the mint sauce, defo the best mint sauce i’ve ever had, delivery was quick and the man on the phone was very polite, cheerful and helpful on what to order as it was my first time, good pricing and I would defo recommend!!!

The best takeaway we have had,Not salty,or greasy, no added msg is a bonus ,the meat was tender, batter crispy, the fried rice lovely and nice amount,The curry was the perfect heat and taste.Will definitely be our regular. K & S Goffe

KFC Portsmouth - Pompey Centre

Very nice kfc. Food just like other kfc. was difficult to find seat for 4 people as chairs were everywhere so it was basically a bit messy. Service was quick and workers are very kind offering to get us sauces and cups. Food relatively cheap spent just under £30 for 4.

Ali Baba Kebab House

Food is always great! I’ve tried most things on this menu and I’m never disappointed. Great value for money as well, it’s my number one go-to whenever I want takeaway, especially since the delivery is always so fast. 10/10 recommend to anyone

McDonald's

It's McDonald's but it is located in a very convenient area. Close to the Farnham Road Shops, the Trading Estate and on a major route between the M4 and M40!
You know the score, if hungry or thirsty then just stop off here ??☺️

McDonald's

I went here on a Sunday morning to have breakfast and it didn't disappoint. A sausage sandwich, a hash brown with some porridge and a flat white coffee. At the end of the day it's a fast food restaurant and it's good at what it does. At the time I was there is was pleasantly busy but there were plenty of places to sit down and the staff there were nice too.

Mehmet Kitchen

Always worth it. Best Turkish food in the area. Not only is their food mouth wateringly good, the staff are so warm and welcoming. Can’t recommend Mehmets enough!

Wendy's

Me and my children love coming to Wendy the difference in the food is huge compared to McDonalds. And I do love the fact you can add more salad to your burger then most other fast food chains.

Bar Aroma Ltd

Attended a friend’s birthday and they had a buffet. I have multiple food allergies and the staff were so considerate of this and made me a mini buffet of my own and were so lovely about it.

It was delicious and they really did go above and beyond. Also great atmosphere, lovely drinks.

Highly recommend this gem

North End Cafe

The sort of fry-up I've been craving for a while. Food was lovely and plenty of it, staff were welcoming and friendly and cost more than reasonable.
The sort of cafe that needs to be cherished.

Algarve's Grill

Great for special occasions or even a quick dinner out!
The service is very friendly. Great selection of wines, I recommend their house wine. The food is fairly priced and it’s prepared fast. The chicken mushroom is really delicious, tender chicken. Carne de Porco a Alentejana is a Portuguese classic and they make it great here!

Yukchinhon Japanese

I loved this place first I went! I just love love everything. Definitely worth the money for every food. They put so much love into it. I have booked again for Saturday. Excited! Thank you

The Eastney Tavern

Today I visited Portsmouth and happened to come across this bar, so I decided to step inside. I’m not someone who usually drinks alcohol, but today I went in for a drink. The bar has several separate rooms and a fairly large outdoor area. Inside the rooms, the walls are decorated with many photos, shirts, and memorabilia, most of them related to football, which gives the place a unique and lively atmosphere. The lady behind the bar was extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming, making the experience even better. Overall, this is a beautiful bar, and among all the pubs and bars I have visited in England, this has been the best and most beautiful one so far. Highly recommended.

Porto Grill a Taberna

Really good food, catered for pescatarians, and gluten free, very good quality fish and seafood, good quality steak for the meat eaters too, all reasonably priced. Excellent service .

Copnor Grill

These boys where spot on.. Ali told me a few months ago he was now working here. And that was the best mixed donner meat and chips I have had for a long long time. That's lads bloody lovley..

Circolo Pizzeria

Yummy yummy the food in my tummy. So good every thing was so good. Nice service swift with the drinks and food. Great choice of food something for everyone's one. Great decor . Toilets could do with a spruce up but far from horrible. Can't wait to revisit to try some more yummy food.

Napoli Pizza and Pasta Portsmouth

I'm a big lad and the portion of prawn linguine I had was halved and put in the fridge for my dinner tomorrow - that being said I had to stop myself from finishing it, because it was really bloody good. Very friendly staff and good prices. Will definitely return ??

Copnor Kitchen

Excellent service, excellent food, really enjoyed my tome here. Had a veg breakfast mid morning and was so full I could not eat again until almost midnight. Nice relaxed quiet environment which is good for me as I am neuro diverse. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Golden Hind

Visited yesterday with my tribe of older children and their partners we had a lovely time, food was great very accommodating to our large party, service was top and the manager was lovely!

Anglo Bangla

Excellent meal, chicken was juicy not dried out, fresh veg, very nice chilli sauce all on a fresh naan

There are some interesting new additions to the menu, recommend trying

There are some dining tables if someone wants to eat in

Prachee - Port Solent

Lovely Indian restaurant knowledge regarding diet requirements. Views of Port Solent. We had two main dishes , rice x 2, naan and poppadoms . Large portions. We will be back.

Park 27 Cafe

Highly recommended! Had some fantastic, authentic Malaysian food. The restaurant is a no-frills set up, however the food speaks for itself. I had a curry puff to start with (could have had 5 they were that good) then the Nasi Lemak special for main. Incredibly tasty and a good portion size. The owner was very welcoming, and the fact there were other Malaysians (from Chinese, Malay and South Indian backgrounds) eating there, highlights how good it is. I will definitely be back!

East African Restaurant

Walked past a few times and decided to give this a try. Never had Ethiopian food before, this not only tasted amazing but was great quality too. Staff was friendly and the place has a lovely ambience. I'll definitely be back to try some more of the menu.

Palace Café Restaurant

Really nice cafe... The coffee was beautiful. My husband enjoyed the full English while I had chicken and salad..
I would have liked a bigger salad and far fewer chips.

The Fleet Portsmouth

Lovely pub tucked away behind the busier wetherspoons, wanted somewhere quieter for a meet up and it was just right, nice open space with quick and friendly service.

Whistle Stop Cafe

Absolutely amazing sandwiches and rolls, always prepared fresh, tonnes of fillings, super tasty and very good value. Always our go to place whenever we fancy a treat and splash the cash on a lunch at work. If Carlsberg did sandwich shops, this would be it!

Subway

The Veg Sub was fresh, tasty, and filling with crisp vegetables and well-balanced sauces. The bread was soft and freshly baked. The serving staff were polite, friendly, and quick, making the whole experience smooth and pleasant. Definitely recommend! A lovely touch was the free cookies offered as a compliment — made the experience even better!

Hong Kong Tea Bar

Nice oldschool venue with good authentic, delicious food. I love the cosy interior. I am only bit concerned about the hygiene news from some years back and numerous food safety breaches. From what I gather, the food is good, I am so hoping that they have got in order since then. I have tried several dishes on different occasions.

Uncle Sams

Great meal. There's a reason Uncle Sam's has been a staple of North End since forever. Burger is juicy and flavourful. Fries crispy and fresh. Milkshake is well worth getting. Delivery in under 15 minutes. Phenomenal. Keep it up!

The Admiral Drake

First time here since being taken over, twice. Saw a friends band. Sadly now a very limited choice of real ales but the one I had was a good pint. Friendly service.

Kam Too

Fab chinese best I've had in England so far.. highly recommend! We are slowly working our way through the menu..
Chicken is beautiful well done guys we are so glad to have found this gem ?

The Lord Palmerston - JD Wetherspoon

Really nicely laid out pub just a few minutes walk from the beach. Bar staff, serving staff and door security was all super friendly and efficient. 100% will visit here again soon

Star & Garter

Great pub, landlady and husband very friendly. Bar staff very polite. Had the build your own burger, and onion rings....best burger in a long time. Great value for money, will be definitely coming again.

DICE Pizza

It would be five stars. Because before I absolutely loved this place. But they changed the base of the pizza. Not giving it the unique texture as it used to be. Become of that I think the taste has changed a fair bit to. If the original pizza base came back it would be 5 stars.

Port Coffee

Mulled wine served in a teacup … what’s not to love ❤️ Genuinely homemade soup with Bread Addiction’s delicious sourdough bread - all fabulous. A real find … we love visiting … its the perfect antidote to the bustle of Christmas shopping at Gunwarf Quays (the cafe is within the Aspex Gallery … google it and visit you won’t be disappointed ?)

Nut Cafe Restaurant

Good prices, lovely food and the staff are all so charming and attentive. We are regular visitors to Cafe Nut and my family and I always feel looked after and fed well. Traditional cafe food, done well. They cater to our dietary requirements due to allergies and are always happy to change a dish if need be. They have recently had a decor change, which is looking lovely.
