Absolutely delicious, especially the spicy cheese

great food at a reasonable price, friendly and helpful staff.

Great Service, very friendly and helpful. The weekly menu is very economical and very complete. Very delicious food and a very cozy and well decorated atmosphere in the restaurant.

Met a friend for lunch - first time I'd been here and it won't be the last. Food was delicious and really fresh. Nonintrusive but attentive service. Just great.

Amazing food , friendly service and decent pricing for the quality of food 5star

Great service, lovely food. Great value. Will definitely return soon.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and very kind staff. Must try!

We love going to Evi Bakehouse. It's got a lovely atmosphere in there and nice to see the chef cooking at the end. He asked us at the end if the food was good. They have recently revamped the menu and now offer pizzas which went down well with our youngest.

We had a lovely evening at Evi. The atmosphere is warm & the staff were friendly & efficient. We had a mixture of Hot & Cold Meze which was tasty. The Turkish wine was also great. I’d highly recommend 😀

Really great service but the food was really average.

We really enjoyed our early dinner here! We were travelling through on our way from the train to our hotel and stopped in this area because there were several restaurants on this block and the next. After walking around and looking at several menus, we landed here because of the options as well as the friendly staff that was welcoming but not desperate! They were very kind and accommodating throughout the meal, even as our family of four took up extra space with our baggage. The pizza was great, the mozzarella garlic bread (sauce-less pizza) was excellent, and to send it over the top, the oils and special sauces were excellent additions! One of the best restaurants we just stumbled into. Highly recommended.

Exceptional service and delicious food. Would definitely come back!

Did was delicious and although the restaurant was full it didn't take long to get the food. Is recommend booking as I couldn't get in last time I went.

The food is soooo good. The waitress was great at talking us through the menu and making recommendations. The traditional sausage and the aubergine dishes were a highlight. We both really liked the ambience and being able to see the kitchen. Good background music. The baklava is a must! Just devine, thank you for the extra piece! Will definitely return and have already been recommending it to family and friends.

Nice food reasonably priced. Will be returning to try more of the menu.

Four us went for Dinner as a work outing, fantastic food. No real waiting around, pleasant staff and clean. Would totally recommend.

Lovely place. Lovely food and good service. Forgot to order water. A prompt would’ve ensured additional sale.

Went for a meal today, waitress was very friendly. Quick Service, a great atmosphere and amazing food. Can’t wait to visit again.

This place is a hidden gem in Eastleigh, where dining options are limited. The highlight of their menu is undoubtedly the stone-cooked pizza. Each pizza is perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside, with toppings that taste incredibly fresh. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it a go-to spot for a casual meal. If you're in town, don't miss out on this local favorite!

Very expensive. A few mezeme dishes and pitta bread for four people and not a great amount of it yet very pricey. All what we had was very nice though.

We had a lovely evening at this independent restaurant. The charcuterie board we ordered was very generous and the staff were so welcoming. Great choices for gluten free diners like myself and a very Mediterranean atmosphere with fairy lights, rugs and lanterns. They have a monthly quiz night so we will definitely be back.

Our favourite place to eat and drink. Owner and staff very friendly and accommodating. Food is good. I recommend the grilled Halloumi or chicken. Chips are good. Pizza is better than Prezzo in my opinion.

I visited today having never been before. The food was well priced and there wasn't a single item that wasn't cooked or prepared to a really high standard. Good friendly service that never felt Intrusive and helpful staff. The food arrived quickly and was well presented and delicious.

Lovely place but we were the only customers for lunch. Food is really tasty and some good choices, service excellent.

Great little Gem Had always wanted to go but finally got the chance I was not disappointed. Fantastic atmosphere brilliant food excellent service

Stonebaked pizzas was delicious. Good experience!

Very good evening of Meze. The staff is quite attentive and friendly. We loved the Baklava as final touch. We must go again to try their pizza for sure!

Thoroughly recommend Artisan, service was superb and the owner helped on recommendations of food and wine. A lovely lazy meze lunch in a chilled traditional Turkish setting. Something so different from the usual pubs and restaurants in Eastleigh. You can eat light dishes or just pop in for a drink. Perfect for all occasions. Booking may be necessary to avoid disappointment.

I'm the only customer in here just nowbut it is half eight on a Monday night. Fantastic food, warm olives, great pizza and friendly service. Couldn't ask for more.

Was the first customer today and the welcome was excellent. Food was a very high standard. The tester Meze we tried was excellent especially the spiced cheese full of flavour. Would highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Pizzas are delicious. Eaten in and got takeaway. One of my favourite pizza places anywhere and one of the few good places to eat in Eastleigh! Service can be slightly hit and miss sometimes but that's okay, particularly given the difficulties restaurants are having at the moment. Really recommend.

Absolutely wonderful and cozy atmosphere with friendly service. The food is fantastic. I ate on my own here when passing through town and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. As a solo diner, two mezzes and a large glass of wine was a perfect and warm respite from the cold. Will absolutely return when I’m in the area.

Delicious food, including nice selection of vegetarian options to choose from. Lovely atmosphere, and the staff was excellent, very friendly and kind.

6* experience!!! This is now my top place for pizza in Southampton/Eastleigh. I had the four cheese pizza (mozzarella, cheddar, halloumi and feta) and my partner had the meat feast (beef meatballs, pepperoni, ham), and we shared a garlic bread. We were both mind blown by the taste and excellent quality of ingredients. I could not be happier! The restaurant also has a great aesthetic, which is a bonus. Staff were very polite and welcoming, attentive but not intrusive. We will definitely be back and I cannot wait to try the rest of the range as well as the meze!

Such a lovely place to dine, the owner and staff are welcoming, which creates a lovely familial atmosphere. The food is delicious and the service is pretty fast. Overall, I love this place!

Dough is really good but overall a bit too salty

What a refreshing dining experience. A real cosy atmosphere with a vast selection of delights to try. The Yogurt Chicken was without a shadow of a doubt the tastiest dish I've had in years! I wish I'd had 2 stomachs so I could have eaten more! Lovely wines too! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We will be back!

The pizza is made with an oven with fire, not electric, therefore the outcome is very good, the pizza is delicious.

Great food , great service, lovely clean restaurant, lovely atmosphere. The beautiful restaurant It reminded me of being on holiday (apart from the weather!) I would highly recommend.

Had a delightful impromptu solo dinner during my work trip here. The restaurant staff were incredibly welcoming, provided attentive service, and made sure to cater to my vegetarian preferences. Highly recommended!

Just been here for dinner. Ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza and the Four Cheese pizza. Toppings are incredibly generous, my halloumi on the pizza was fabulous. Very friendly people who work here, such a wonderful atmosphere. The interior is decorated so beautifully.

Lovely little place, very friendly staff. Good food

My partner and I tried this restaurant recently as neither of us had much experience with Turkish cuisine and we incredibly happy with the experience. The waiter was accommodating and friendly, giving us advice on how/what to order. Our food was beautifully cooked and seasoned- there were no issues with any part of the dishes we chose which arrived soon after ordering. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough- 5 stars

Just come back from a great meal and felt that I had to review. Everyone in the restaurant was lovely and the food was amazing. Far too good to be on Eastleigh High Street.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service

We have just had a fabulous evening listening to music and drinking excellent cocktails with a gorgeous and ample sharing board. I can’t recommend enough. Definitely worth the trip out from overpriced Winchester. Gives their artisan restaurants a run for their money

Nipped in for a quick bite service was fast and excellent and the food delicious definitely going again

Excellent evening - wine and cheese - perfect, great service would highly recommend. Great meal and enjoyed all the wine. We will return again very soon.

Very happy with our meal. It was our Anniversary and we were treated very well. The service was excellent and advice given regarding the food and wine superb. Would recommend it without hesitation.

Delicious food (we went for pizzas) and a special mention to Gino - he was so lovely to us, checking that everything was alright and going above and beyond warming up the pizza for the one of us that turned up a bit later. He should be the employee of the month!! Thank you Gino for the lovely atmosphere and dinner :)

ordered two pizzas to take away, all we could taste was salt! flavourless! The dough was far too salty. Small size too. Not worth the money, do not buy

Tried this place out for the first time tonight and we'll definitely be back! You have to go in to appreciate how lovely it is inside. Such a great, relaxed atmosphere with tasteful decor and friendly staff. The food was incredible – I'd particularly recommend the halloumi and sausage dish but everything was so tasty!

Great welcome. I have tested the new pizzas (marina). Home made. I will come back.

As a family we love eating at Evi. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the staff are lovely and helpful. We have eaten pretty much everything on the menu and can recommend it all. It is all cooked to prefection and is extremely tasty.

Friendly staff, decent portions, tasty!

Lovely, freshly made food. Friendly atmosphere, super relaxed.

A fantastic family run business with a great choice of food and drinks to cater for all tastes.

Brilliant, we love the meze, staff are great

Warm welcome and good service. Really enjoyed the food.

Great food and great service!! A lovely family run restaurant. Great value for money. We visited on a Saturday and the food was amazing.

Great restaurant we had a great time.

Lovely food and a really nice atmosphere, will definitely be going again.

First time trying Turkish Tapas and it was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would give 5 stars but it seems like there's no light in the toilet so I had to pee by torchlight.

A really buzzing atmosphere and nice food. Drink we're a bit pricey.

Had a fabulous meal here & drinks over the road at Artisan bar with live music. Highly recommend both venues!!

Excellent atmosphere, dining, staff and management. There aren't many places that are great to eat in Easteligh. This is a contender for the topspot. The manager is extremely welcoming and almost always present meeting customers, checking that all is well. This is clearly a passion for him and not just a revenue stream. He knows how to invest in his staff too keep them happy, and it shows.

I had a lovely chilled lunch with my friend. Food was fabulous and the service perfect

Lovely place to share a meal with friends. Portion sizes are quite small though which was a bit disappointing. Other than that had a lovely time with excellent food and staff was very friendly. Recommend going to the wine bar opposite after dinner, which is the sister restaurant.

Went here on a Wednesday evening with my book club. We had a reservation so were seated right away: it wasn't too crowded. There was a large party there already, but we were served our food quite quickly. The employees were very friendly. The food was delicious. We all shared some apps and small plates and it was great. The feta parcels were especially popular. But also the eggplant, hummus, white bean were really nice as well. I would definitely go again. And across the street is a lovely cozy wine bar for a glass after dinner.

Amazing!! Food is really delicious.

Atmosphere was great, nice decor, staff was very friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed both drinks and food. Would definitely come here again.

Loved this place! Great food! Shame it's next to Spitfire but you don't notice it when you're inside.

good fresh turkish food. what is not to like. friendly staff. nice freshly cooked dishes. all very good and reasonably priced

We keep coming back to this absolutely brilliant restaurant. The meze is delicious, the staff are lovely and the decor is nice too. It's a real local gem this one. Would definitely recommend!

Good selection of hot and cold meze, good service and reasonable prices.

Pizza was absolutely amazing I look forward to going again.

Great meal out for my wifes birthday. Decided to go for Turkish meze as a friend had told us about it.Staff welcoming,not pushy, offered drinks and gave us time to choose. Everything came as expected,loads of flavour and good size portions,you wont be disappointed.Stuffed vine leaves,prawns,calamari,falafel,borek,which is feta +spinach parcels. Had to choose more so had mini grill lamb and chicken. Make sure you book your table,its very popular and busy, we went for 1830pm its now 2015...we will return.

Superb food lovely waiting staff and a nice ambience.. highly recommend this little jem of a restaurant.

The food was excellent and of course the Rose and young waiter learning the ropes

The best service and the food was great

Cool looking restaurant, shared dishes with my friend 😋 for lunch with nice glass of wine.....service very good, will return...

Amazing food, good staff and very nice atmosphere. Swordfish is to die for.

We have been here a number of times over the years and it is still our go to for a relaxed lunch or evening meal (alone or with friends). Great relaxed atmosphere with great service and Turkish food and pizza at Evi’s. The combination of Artisans and Evi’s across the road provides lots of options for food and drinks. The staff are all very friendly and professional, and the courtyard at the back of Artisans is an oasis where you could be somewhere on the Mediterranean. A great way to pass high quality time.

Anniversary meal and didn't disappoint. Way above any takeaway pizza you would get. Lovely staff and amazing food

Lovely meal, excellent service and kept very clean.

What a great find after travelling all day. Ordered olives and a cold maze platter, with baclava and coffee for dessert. All excellent and well presented. Really friendly and helpful staff, and will def be coming back next time I’m in the area.

What a gem. Turned away from a fully booked chain restaurant pre cinema we lucked out finding this place. I’m guessing it’s independently run and managed to create a feeling of being on holiday. Delicious tapas and delicious wine. Good service too. Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous meal and great drinks, would definitely go back based on the exceptional service from the young lad too!

Love this place. So accommodating. Owner is fabulous. Food amazing and they always make you feel special.

Stumbled on this gem when going out for lunch whilst working in Eastleigh. Some of the best pizza I have had. Great staff. Highly recommended

Lovely food but having only one oven means you're waiting a fair while to get your food.

The ambiance was lovely and the staff courteous, but that was about the only positives from the night! Two plates arrived together, ahead of the wine…. A small dinner sharing plate with a selection of a single spoonfuls of dips, salad, dolmades, and 4 olives! No explanation of what was one there… everything merged into one, it didn’t look pleasant… I’ll leave the rest to your imagination!! A second small dinner sharing plate arrived with bite size mixed hot mezes, and there’s nothing substantial at all, 2 pieces of chicken, lamb, fish, kofta, calamari, vine leaves, halloumi, each etc all about the size a a 10p piece! We arrived, been seated, eaten and finished in 40 minutes!!! The food was tasty, but the portions we tiny, the presentation as abysmal, the staff were stressed as everyone was complaining! Pudding arrived, not to our taste so we asked for the bill! We were horrified to find out we had been charged £40 per head… for effectively 2 small plates of food! A total rip off! My first experience at Artisan, we complained and apart from a verbal apology, nothing else was done, no discount, no offer to ‘try us again’ we’ll put things right voucher! Wake up… we drove past so many lovely places to eat with you! Very poor, we left disappointed, I was still hungry… and over £100 lighter with the wine!!

We loved it ! Staff clearly under pressure all night But very attentive 😊 food great ! Entertainment a pleasant surprise 😎 thank you Evi Bakehouse xxx

This had been recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. Popped in for a Monday evening meal and was greeted like a regular. Food was superb as was the customer service and décor. No faults found and I definitely recommend. Thank you Artizan Meze for the perfect end to the day!

This is a jewel for eating in Eastleigh. There is great ambience including an enclosed garden area with lovely draped vines surrounding and authentic Turkish decor to reflect and compliment the excellent cuisine. The food is all freshly prepared and promptly served. Proprietor Hasan is always ready and willing to cater for special needs and requests and all ingredients are of the highest quality. Decent wine list including some excellent Turkish of course, Yakult etc. This place is well worth a visit and you will be welcomed equally whether visiting for a full meal, coffee or just a drink! My wife and I had the cold Meze sharing plate and a couple of hot mezes dishes and this was more than adequate as we know from experience. The Albanian Liver is to die for - natural or spicy! All great stuff!

Been waiting over an hour for my order, understaffed and although having a pre-booked table, our order went unprioritised. The pizza eventually came and tasted good but it was greasy and not worth the high price, wouldn't recommend.

Waited til 2 hours after booked reservation time just for the pizza to be burned, not as good as other high street alternatives, not happy
