Natty's Jerk in Portsmouth

The jerk chicken tastes burnt, the patties in my opinion is average, to be honest. I won’t be visiting again.

Tasty, authentic food and reasonably priced. Swift and friendly service. Lots of decent veggie choices, not the usual cheesy-token offering. We will be back.

Location- It was nice and quirky and the decor was great and added to the theme of the restaurant. Service- Was horrendous, we waited 50 mins for two meals and there was no update with regards to food timings etc. if we had known this we would have gone elsewhere. Food- was nice but not amazing and nothing to boast about. We wouldn’t be back as the service let down the entire experience. Very unapologetic when we told them about the issue too, rather than looking to fix or amend the experience.

Stumbled upon this place by sheer accident, thank God we did! Food was mouth watering, service great. Feels like someone dropped a little Jamaican shack in the middle of Portsmouth, will definitely be back ❤️

Hospitality, food and drink is always on point. There is a clear sense of leadership and this is evident through the service provided by the staff.

A slice of heaven. Jerk chicken and pork belly the right side of spicy to be tasty but ain’t blowing your head off. Great location outside south-sea station. Atmosphere great, staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back for more.

The food is the best in Portsmouth compared to other restaurants. Healthy menue and friendly staff . Food is served in time in a friendly atmosphere.

First time and definitely won’t be the last. Amazing food, atmosphere and service.

The food was amazing but the chicken was not enough and the price was expensive .

Everything was amazing. Great staff and the food is outstanding

Came in and ordered food to takeaway, food took an hour and if I had known if it was due to one item beforehand I wouldn't have bothered with it specially as it was bland and wasn't worth the wait.some of the jerk chicken was pink and the taco wraps was stale and were clearly left siting out for a while while waiting for this one item. Staff were really friendly but was disappointed

Absolutely quality 🌟 Ordered through uber and they messed the order up the driver never collected it. The staff in store called me to tell me and even though they had just closed they waited for me to collect. Food was top 👌 ,

Banging Jerk Chicken…consistently every time

Great selection of gluten free options

My favourite restaurant in Portsmouth. Amazing food, staff and cocktails at decent prices and in a really fun location. Definitely get a pitcher when ordering a cocktail as you get about 8 glasses out of it. Brilliant value! The food also travels really well when ordering as a takeaway.

Amazing place! I loved the jackfruit options!

Didn’t even acknowledge me when I walked in, had to sit myself. Food took forever??? Even though I ordered a simple Pattie … Weird place

Best tasting food in Portsmouth

Hey, we've wanted to check this place out for a long time. We went. Today, and we're disappointed with the chicken portion because it was so. The little one reached half of the bowl, overcooked rice was the tastiest. Chicken, the rest of the food is also not too great, certainly not for 14, 50!the food was ready, served in two in 3 minutes..

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, freshly cooked food which is sooooo tasty!!!

The food was not up to standard and lacked seasoning, especially the rice.

Absolutely delicious. Staff were so nice and accommodating as well! Some of the best plantin I've ever had! Cauliflower wings were sensational! Honestly could not fault anything at all! Would highly recommend everyone visit Nattys at least once in their life!

The food is amazing , great service and great price . Highly recommended

Excellent food. Very tasty. Helpful friendly staff helping us to choose what’s on the menu, It’s the only place to eat worth going near the station on a week day in the evening. I had delicious chicken wings with bbq sauce. Not too spicy. My partner and nephew had goat curry and jerk chicken box. All brilliant. Reasonably priced. 👍

Honestly, never disappointed, Natty's is the most amazing food. I don't think anywhere could beat the quality and taste!

Great food, extremely reasonable priced. Large portions.

Gorgeous food, friendly atmosphere and amazing outside eating area.

Some of the best food in Portsmouth! Walking past it the smell is irresistible, the food is definitely worth it!

It's not just wicked, it's wicked wicked 👌

Delicious food, cool staff and amazing vibes! I couldn't recommend this place enough. Since the other reviews mention mostly meat-based dishes, let me point out that there are several delicious options for vegetarians/vegans as well.

Was stuck near Portsmouth & Southsea station with time to kill as the ferry was annoying. Unexpected utter deliciousness. And I've just spent a week in France! I had the jerk chicken box - incredible! The delay was all worth it.

I'd only heard good things on social media about Nattys. Came from Reading especially and can say it was well worth the journey. Brilliant venue, I sat outside in their beach garden 10/10

Jerk food at its best 🍗🇯🇲 My goodness me!!! This place is Jerk food at its absolute finest, a must visit for the people of Portsmouth or any tourists who may pass by. Located right next to the train station, Natty’s Jerk offers a Caribbean dining experience with both indoor seating, outdoor seating in the beach area, or takeaway food. The menu (as pictured) offers a wide variety of Caribbean cuisine. Dining as a group we tried a range of menu item, all of which were fantastic! We tried the Jerk chicken, Jerk Pork, Curry Goat, Tacos and the corn. I also tried the ‘pink ting’ drink which was very refreshing on a hot summers day! Will absolutely be returning here and will be recommending it to anyone passing through Portsmouth! 🍗🤩 🌟 Recommendations: Jerk chicken Box (or Pon Frites) Pink ting drink ⛔️ Drawbacks: Limited options for those who do not like Caribbean food (Almost impossible to find any drawbacks!)

Didn't know this place existed, but wow food was amazing great atmosphere and brilliant service, we can't wait to go back again 🩷

Loved it great food and service can’t wait to return

Absolutely delicious, authentic Caribbean food. THE best jerk chicken and rice! Don't hesitate. Every dish I've tried from Nattys has been superb. A portsmouth diamond.

These are the jerk chicken box meal and the pulled pork tacos, the food was brilliant, very tasty and rich in flavour. The jerk chicken was as good as it gets, brilliant flavour. 10/10 or in this case 5 stars easily. Very reasonable prices as well in my opinion, the jerk chicken was 12.5 and the tacos around 8.

Best restaurant in Portsmouth. Drinks delicious....food even better!

We would firstly like to say how lovely the staff were. At first we were a bit worried with a young child who then decided to kick off but the staff just showered him with smiles and waves. We wernt sure what to order but the waitress kindly gave us some advice and it was great advice. We both went for the Jerk chicken box meal and we couldn't believe how much flavour was packed in. Great music and one of the only places I know of that sell Red stripe in a reataurant! Always a winner in my eyes and we will certainly be recommending them and going back Thanks Nattys for your top food and staff

Amazing food, promt service and speedy food delivery... will definitely be going back. I had the belly pork and my lad had the wings both very highly recommended.

Kept walking past, always smells incredible. So I thought I’d pop in and try for the first time and wasn’t disappointed! The service and food is absolutely incredible if I could give 6 stars I would! I ordered the Jerk Pork Belly and Mac and Cheezus

Theme fits the cuisine , cute outdoor area

I've eaten in at Natty's and had take away. Everytime I have been blown away with the quality of their food it's full of flavour and clearly made with love🤌🏼 If you are nearby or considering trying Natty's don't miss it, it's unbeatable 🤤

First time I've ever tried this kind of food. The food was lovely & in particular, the A1 staff in the Portsmouth restaurant were faultless! They make you feel really welcome and deliver a top notch service! Many thanks & p.s, ... Sorry I chucked my rubbish in the wrong bin🙄🤦😂👍

The atmosphere was really nice, there’s an outdoor seating area as well as one that more inside by the counter. The food was amazing and tasted really authentic! Though it was quite busy the food came pretty quickly and the portion size was pretty good. There were so many options it was hard to choose what to eat!

Came here on recommendation for work colleagues, I was blown away it was full of flavour and cooked perfectly, the are at the back in amazing too, had jerk chicken pon fries and side of mac and cheezus

Tried Nattys today for the first time, because I see it most days and it looks interesting. OMG, what a place, fantastic atmosphere, great service and the food is just amazing, and totally authentic. Will definitely return. Would highly recommend you pop in for a bite.

Great customer service, delicious food, helpful staff and a fab hidden outside sandy seating area at the back of the restaurant.

Portion size was very small for the price I must point out.. I got more portion for less than the price with divine taste in London

Absolutely gorgeous meal, the whoo family loved, hidden gem!

I have had curry goat from a lot of different places between London, Reading and Southampton and I can tell you that this one is by far the best!! Flavour is on point and I actually had goat in the curry huge massive pieces which your know if you like your curry goat is a rare find! Top notch can’t rate enough!!

Went here for daughters birthday, it was amazing. The best food. You must visit!

Natty's jerk is by far my favourite place to eat. The venue its self is so unique and there isn't anything like it in Portsmouth. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing everytime 👌 Whether I visit nattys or order food online. I'm a regular and so happy we have this available in Portsmouth 🙌

This place rocks. Delicious food and lovely staff.

I was so excited to go eat here but I was very disappointed with the food. We ordered goat curry. The rice was not fresh , it smelt and tested like it was cooked a day before , goat curry was not nice at all it lacked seasoning.

What can I say! everything was amazing. Mothers Day Roast was so good, the staff were so attentive, friendly and chatty. Loving the cocktails and I got a free glass of fizz and a bunch of Daffs. What a nice touch❤️ One of my faves places to go 😋

Absolutely amazing place My train was delayed and I came out of the dark empty station, crossed the road and found myself in this oasis. It was very warm with the gas fire, the food was served very quickly and tested so great, beautiful, relaxing music. The staff was very friendly. One of the best places I have ever been for food. Thank you so much

My Partner and I went solo before taking our eldest just a week later! We're big foodies, and always try a variety. I had the Jerk Pork Belly Pon fries, My Partner had the Jerk Pork Belly with Rice. We ordered the dumplings, the coconut corn (which I was in heaven eating) and the Jerk Chicken Tacos which were unbelievable. We had an order of the scotch bonnet sauce, I have NO spice palette so it killed me off but the taste of it was unbelievable. We love Natty's and have said we will be back given a chance any time we can!

Great food and atmosphere for a group with teenagers and adults.

Proper Banging food, great music. Verry happy staff

The food is a hit and miss at times, ordered curry goat and the goat was burnt not sure if it’s a different chef but please go back to the original recipe

Previously I would have given a five as this is a fun tasty place to eat. Unfortunately on my last visit things did not go well. To start the drink prices on the menu and what we were charged were different, when queried we were told that we were charged the right price and the menu was wrong. Then our food was given to the wrong table. It was collected eventually and taken away. Some minutes later it was redelivered to our table. I did query if it was fresh or the previously served food. I was told it was fresh, but it had obviously been dug around in and as it has been previously served about 5-10 minutes earlier it was luke warm. No apologies were given. I should have complained at the time although the signs do say "no negative vibes" and it took so long we were tight for time. Would I recommend, well probably not now. Such a shame.

Amazing staff. Top quality food at the right price. Can't ask for more ..

Great authentic Carribbean food. The fried dumplings were different. Not like we have them at home.

The food is just amazing love it wife's vegan she had loads of choices staff are very friendly great food love it look out for Becky and Molly we eat in then had a takeaway to take home wish you guys were on the Isle Of Wight

Really enjoy Natty's food and staff are good. Took our daughter here for her thirteenth birthday she had a great time. Highly recommended a ray of sunshine in Portsmouth give it a try!

Lovely food, very busy so service bit slow. Order of Mac n cheese didn't even arrive until we had to leave.

The box meals are fantastic. Worth the prices imo.

Natty's has a beautiful atmosphere, the staff was so lovely and friendly the food was amazing differently be going back.

We travel all the way from near Brighton just to come to Nattys, no other place hits the spot quite like this place. The food never disappoints, it’s suited to all weather conditions too, the summer it’s always a vibe and the winter they keep the inside warm with the fires so you really can’t complain. But again the food is BEAUTIFUL😍

Brilliant place. Warm, welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. Perfect location as its outside the Train Station. They have a beach/sand vibe in the back so perfect for summer. Food was amazing. They clearly care about their service. Mac'n'cheese was amazing.

Amazing little street food restraunt, food was amazing, I had the jerk wings which had so much meat on them and the jerk pork belly, so much in a bowl!! don't be put off in winter about it being "outside" the heaters work wonders wherever you sit you always feel toasty!! Staff where super friendly and as I said food was amazing and not overpriced!! Definitely would go again!!

Absolutely amazing experience. The staff are friendly, fast and professional. The food is sublime 😋 it captures the real flavours and spices of the Caribbean!

Tasty food good atmosphere great. Place to eat and great for children in the summer beach out the back and clean toilets to

Nattys is like no other eating experience. Walk through the doors and you’re in another world. The food is amazing and consistently good. The goat curry and jerk chicken are our favourites. Authentic, honest and delicious! We travel 40 miles just to eat here!

Oh the chicken pon fries was so good. I could eat it every day. Excellent food. The cocktails were strong and well worth the money - delicious! Will absolutely return. Thank you!

Was taken here by our daughter who was really excited as not many carribean food places about we ordered and order came to just under £100 we sat waiting first for our drinks after 20 minutes one drink came out and it was my daughters she had ordered a mock tail and this was a cocktail it wouldn't of been a problem but she was on antibiotics. We asked when the other drinks was coming out as there was 5 of us. Was told 2 of the drinks was sold out . Eventually drinks came out and by this time we had been there nearly an hour so we asked if food was coming as daughter had booked a surprise escape room for us which we didn't know at the time but we was told food would take 10-15 minutes more unless we wanted to take it away ? Thing is whether your setting in or taking it away it goes in boxes anyway so whats the difference. In the end we ran out of time and had to cancel order. Disappointed and hungry we left. So couldn't tell you what the food was like.

Bought back memories of growing up in South London in the 70s, great food, good sound's & excellent company... what more could you ask for.... 🤔, maybe some Jimmy Cliff, Max Romeo, U-Roy... possibly some Staple Singers.. & sweet potato fries....otherwise the only thing missing was my youth 😄 ... .excellent, i left very contented..... 1st class.. 👍 I will be back next time im in Portsmouth.

Loved everything about it. Highly recommend.

Great food and great cocktails. Maybe a little pricy but what isn’t these days. 10/10

Got to be some of the best Jark Wind I have ever had! Excellent!

Nice venue but food arrived on the cold side

Amazing little place....superb vegan range of food xx

very nice and polite staff, food was super good, would go back

Missing items, delivery took forever, no offer of reimbursement or apology. Just awful and appalling.

This has to be the best restaurant in Portsmouth - the beach is lit too🍹

Guys if you like your food delivered an hour late, soggy and cold this is the place to order from!

The food is good, too bad yhe driver decided to drive around with my food for 50 minutes before delivering it so it was stone cold (I live just one mile from the restaurant). Unacceptable

Food and Drinks 🍸 😋 lovely place

Fantastic food and the Guiness Punch was on point.

Delicious food! Convenient location. You pay when you come in and order. Many tables were reserved on a weekend day but we were lucky enough to find one free. We did not wait at all to receive our drinks and just a bit later our meals, really fast and tasty! Yes, i recommend!

Never been before always walking by and staying I must go in, well I did and I will be back everything was good x

Everything you could want from a jerk restaurant...friendly staff, great music and atmosphere, and of course excellent authentic food. It's not cheap, but you're paying for the quality. The portions are a good size, the choices on offer are varied and most importantly the food is amazing.

I've finally decided to give a bad review because when Natty's opened again after crowdfunding the prices were very reasonable. I know certain things have generally gone up in the UK but £13 for a tiny bit of chicken and a small bit of sides, and £6 now for the mac n cheese is just a complete utter rip off. Will not go there again just gone too greedy now. You got help from the public and you just keep raising your prices. It's a disgrace Natty.

🇯🇲 Had an incredible dining experience at Natty’s Jerk, a Jamaican restaurant that’s truly a hidden gem! 🍛 Started with the Curry Ital Meal Box – a burst of flavours with plantains, rice, and peas. 🍔 The Jerk “Chicken” Burger made with jackfruit was a revelation – smoky and tender with the housemade marinade. 😋 The Cauliflower “Chicken” Wing had just the right kick, and the Curry Pastie was a tasty surprise. 🍹 But the real stars were the drinks! The Jamaican cocktail, a delightful blend of tropical fruits and rum, transported me straight to the Caribbean. 🍸 And the Passionfruit Mojito Mocktail was refreshingly sweet and tangy. 👏🏼 Natty’s Jerk exceeded all expectations, offering an authentic taste of Jamaica with a twist. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Very tasty food had the Jerk chicken spicy Fries Goat Curry and shared a MacNCheese all very good full of flavour authentic its well worth a visit it will certainly be a regular for me now

Absolutely perfect. Incredible food and drinks, lovely staff, great atmosphere and cracking music. We both had the box meals (I had the Ital vegan curry and my husband had the jerk pork) both came with rice and peas, slaw and plaintain - some of the nicest food we have had in a long time. Can't wait to go back.

Authentic !! Tasty!! Great vibes!!

The food reminds me of my holidays in Jamaica

I previously tried Natty's and wasn't keen on the goat curry or jackfruit. I tried the jerk chicken for the first time tonight and enjoyed it, although no slaw and only a tiny amount of cucumber salad. At least I only paid £4.69 (free trial of Uber One) and not £13.50 which is a little expensive.
