51 Southsea Terrace, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaMatt and the other team members were very welcoming and accommodating from the day we arrived from Canada, Nova Scotia. We had previously purchased their gift cards and visited the micro brewery & Kitchen for the 3 days prior to our cruise. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the layout of the restaurant, especially the outdoor area patio. The place had a nice vibe to it with lots of people. Our last night there we did the whiskey and beer tasting which included a meal. It was a fun and enjoyable time by all of us at our table.
We will definitely visit again should we cross the pond again to Old Portsmouth, UK.

Royal Bengal
101 Palmerston Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaA Truly Exceptional Dining Experience!
From the moment I stepped into this wonderful restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of comfort and style. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible service.
Every member of the staff was not only professional but genuinely kind and attentive. It's rare to find a team that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and here, they absolutely do. Our server was so polite, knowledgeable, and never missed a beat when it came to anticipating our needs. Whether it was refilling our drinks, checking in at just the right moments, or offering thoughtful recommendations, they made the entire dining experience feel personal and effortless.
The level of attentiveness was truly impressive. It’s clear that the staff cares about more than just serving food—they genuinely want to make sure every guest has a memorable time. The food, of course, was outstanding, but the exceptional service is what will make me return again and again. It’s the kind of place where you’re not just another customer—you’re treated like family.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just a meal, but an experience. This place has earned a loyal customer in me!

The Akash
99-101 Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea? Absolutely Outstanding Indian Cuisine – Highly Recommended! ?
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Akash in Portsmouth, and I can honestly say it was one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had.
From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting – perfect for both a casual night out or a special occasion.
Now, let’s talk about the food – absolutely incredible. Every dish we ordered was bursting with authentic flavours and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The balance of spices was perfect – rich and aromatic without being overpowering. The curries were beautifully cooked, the naan was fresh and fluffy, and the rice was light and fragrant. You can really tell this kitchen takes pride in every plate they send out.
Whether you’re a fan of classic favourites or looking to try something new, The Akash delivers an authentic and memorable Indian dining experience. It's no surprise they've been a local favourite for years – and now I know why!
If you're in Portsmouth and craving truly great Indian food, The Akash is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Visited this undiscovered gem for lunch today with my father. We both had regular cod and chips with a drink each. Can quite honestly say this is the best cod and chips I've ever eaten and my father agreed (and he's 88 this year so plenty of meals to compare against). Batter was perfect, not greasy but light and crunchy and flavourful. The same quality for the chips. We took the time to personally tell the chef and won't hesitate to visit again. Service was also superb, shown to a table straight away. All staff appeared smart, friendly and helpful

Canoe Lake Cafe
St Helens Parade, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaI had ice cream and was very happy that the cafe has several vegan flavours including my favourites: salted caramel and vanilla. These flavours were delicious, they were not the sorbet type, rather 'milky' and not too sweet, just the right amount. Two scoops are around £4, I'd say that's reasonably priced, though that's how much I paid recently in some central London ice cream places. Nevertheless, I recommend visiting for the vegan ice cream. The location of the cafe is very good too - has a nice ambience being right at the lake overlooking the swans.

Southsea Inks / PC Repair Shop
48A Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaI can’t speak highly enough of Andy and Southsea Inks. A few weeks ago our old Windows 8 PC stopped working and I needed to replace it quickly, but coming so soon after Xmas I couldn’t stretch to a new tower so I went to Southsea Inks as I knew that they sold second hand PCs and laptops. I explained to Andy what I needed and he showed me 3 PCs around the £100 mark, but when I said that what I was buying today was purely a stop gap he showed me a Dell Optiplex 7020 for £50! It was a no brainer really as the PC came with a new SSD with a 1 year warranty, a 3 month warranty on the rest of the PC and a Microsoft office package. All of this with Windows 10 Pro too!
Nearly a month later the PC is working fine and I suspect that it will be a bit more than a stop gap over time. The purchase price also meant that we could buy a new printer as out ancient Lexmark wasn’t compatible with Windows 10.
So all in all a really good experience! It’s worth noting that the atmosphere in Southsea Inks is really chilled and friendly, and that Andy lets you take as much time as you want to make you your own mind about what to buy. 10/10 :)

The Southsea Deli
98 Elm Grove, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaJust spent the afternoon at one of the South Coast Cookery workshops held in the Deli. Amazing! Dan was an excellent teacher and super helpful. The set up is great, with enough space for everyone to get involved and still easily see what is going on. We've walked away with some beautiful fresh pasta for dinner and lots of tips for trying it again at home. Would highly recommend the classes as well as the Deli, where we had a lovely coffee before the class started. Thank you so much!

Royal Bengal
101 Palmerston Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaA Truly Exceptional Dining Experience!
From the moment I stepped into this wonderful restaurant, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of comfort and style. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible service.
Every member of the staff was not only professional but genuinely kind and attentive. It's rare to find a team that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and here, they absolutely do. Our server was so polite, knowledgeable, and never missed a beat when it came to anticipating our needs. Whether it was refilling our drinks, checking in at just the right moments, or offering thoughtful recommendations, they made the entire dining experience feel personal and effortless.
The level of attentiveness was truly impressive. It’s clear that the staff cares about more than just serving food—they genuinely want to make sure every guest has a memorable time. The food, of course, was outstanding, but the exceptional service is what will make me return again and again. It’s the kind of place where you’re not just another customer—you’re treated like family.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just a meal, but an experience. This place has earned a loyal customer in me!

Brewhouse & Kitchen - Southsea
51 Southsea Terrace, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaMatt and the other team members were very welcoming and accommodating from the day we arrived from Canada, Nova Scotia. We had previously purchased their gift cards and visited the micro brewery & Kitchen for the 3 days prior to our cruise. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the layout of the restaurant, especially the outdoor area patio. The place had a nice vibe to it with lots of people. Our last night there we did the whiskey and beer tasting which included a meal. It was a fun and enjoyable time by all of us at our table.
We will definitely visit again should we cross the pond again to Old Portsmouth, UK.

Food was served promptly even though it was busy and food was absolutely delicious . I was floored at the price of the bill ( was so much cheaper than we expected from the quality /deliciousness of food ) . Myself and partner had a drink and multiple tapas and it only cost £53 ( amazing ) . Toilet was really clean ( sorry , I always factor this in to any restaurant visit ) . Will definitely be returning as couldn’t fault it . 10/10 . Will be recommending to my friends/family and workmates for a great meal out ❤️

Croxton's Kitchen & Tap House
94-96 Palmerston Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaBanging roast... Had the Sunday special between 2 of us, it would easily have fed 3/4 and then you would have room for pudding... We didn't ?? my only gripe was the only greens were kale, personally I would have liked some broccoli ? the home made Yorkshire pudding was one of the best I've had.
Would definitely come back though. Lovely attentive staff, good music, and some very nice dogs.

Bubble & Pho
221 Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, SouthseaThe best Vietnamese food in Portsmouth hands down if not Hampshire. Very tasty and fresh. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. I go here at least once a week and you get 10% off if you pay cash which is an excellent idea more places should do this definitely. I could eat this food everyday and I’ve not had a bad dish or meal once and I’ve tried a lot on the menu. Would recommend any dish and have a great choice of dishes. Will miss this place big time as im working in a different area now. Worth going to Southsea just for this restaurant 100%
