Nemrut in Portsmouth

Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. One of the best restaurants in Portsmouth.

Have been to this place a few times and been pleased but on this occasion left feeling underwhelmed. We ordered 5 mains ( for a party of 5 ) and only received 4. Sadly this wasn’t handled in a way that left us feeling cared for as guests and we left underwhelmed. The service was disorganised and not particularly personable - we won’t be rushing back!

Great authentic delicious food reasonably priced. Lots of people who know what authentic Turkish food is eat here! No extra charge for the tray of dips and hot bread to start. Lovely staff.

Lovely team and great shish kebab, nice family set up

Still one of my favourite restaurants after 15+ years! Great food, great service, great prices

Great food and service. Atmosphere of a simple cafe.

Had a really good time and the waitress was excellent in her service. Highly recommend for Turkish food and coffee

Lovely grilled meats. Fair prices. Will come back.

Excellent restaurant. The food was delicious with very generous portions and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending or returning again

Just a great place to eat any time of the day. Food was cooked to perfection with a great atmosphere . Pretty Faultless. Thank you all again. Mark and Tracey

Visited on 20/04/24. Friendly service. Good range of dishes too - nice to see them cooked in an open kitchen. A tasty wholesome kebab - though a larger portion of chips would have been preferable. The house red was tasty and reasonably priced. Overall - a pleasant experience.

We haven’t visited Nemrut for years - I mean literally 12/13 years ago when we had the whole place for my husband’s birthday. The food was soooo good then, and the owner made the evening so special; he magicked up dancers out of nowhere! Based on this I feel massively guilty that we haven’t returned, but we live a while away and have since had children - so that’s our excuse! However, we visited today post theatre trip. We hadn’t booked but were seated happily by the super lovely Ella. The food was stunning. We have visited Turkey many times and it was truly authentic. The children both had chicken shish and cleared their plates! The baklava and Turkish coffee were a perfect finish to a lovely meal. We will be back soon - I promise!

It looks really good in there! I've just been at my mates up above it.

Went for a meal with family at their restaurant. Staff was rude and completely ruined the atmosphere for no reason. Hot mezes were cold/warm and waitress served me wrong main (although she corrected my order with no extra charge). This is basically a kebab takeaway with wooden tables at the back, this isn't a proper restaurant like it states in some websites. Wouldn't recommend.

Best place for people can eat here 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Wow, I've never had such tasty Turkish food in the UK! this is quite a small place, so I would recommend booking at the weekend. We were in early at 6pm and by the time we left it was packed. All were welcome here (family, friends, baby) and it was a friendly and comfortable place. The waitress and chef were both lovely. I will be back to try more of their menu. This time we had the shared cold starters and I had a prawn casserole and my sister had the mixed meat platter. It was all great value for money and tasty. 10/10

Lovely food and lovely staff could not do anything more for us. First time but won't be last we are already planning our next vist food was amazing

Tasty food, coffee with a smile 😉

A warm and friendly welcome. Great atmosphere and fresh cooked delicious food. The stuffed aubergine is out of this world, would highly recommend

Excellent all round. Great vibe, varied menu and food was beautifully prepared using clearly tip top ingredients. Would highly recommend

Nemrut have been here for many years, they have amazing food and I really can't fault it. A hidden jem when it comes to proper home cooked Turkish cuisine. If you're in the area for a visit of have lived here for years but never visited, I'd highly recommend you book in, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely food had food inside couldn't fault it

Always good here Food always fantastic quality and value Starters not as good as mains, and the venue a little tired but I’m sure they’ll be updating it soon (?!)

Lovely food, quick wait time and amazing atmosphere. The people are really nice. I especially recommend the Tavuk Shish, bread (ekmek) and also salad. The take away boxes are small but still fit lots in. Overall amazing place definitely go to it.

Highly recommend delicious food

Despite a modest exterior this is the best Turkish food I've had in the UK, hands down. I've been 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months. Reasonably priced and with an excellent selection, I hope to have tried literally every dish on the menu one day.

Great restaurant but as a Vegan the menu was not clear.

Delicious meal, good service and very good Turkish red wine! We would definitely go again next time we’re in Southsea. 😋

We Ordered chicken and lamb from the grill was hot when arrived then had to wait for the rice to come, when it came put on the plate with chicken and lamb but rice was cold so ruined whole meal Could not recook chicken and lamb due to no sauce Should not serve cold microwave rice .Left without eating

Friendly staff and cheap drinks! Would recommend! ⭐️

A great place to experience a real Turkish meal. The staff are all lovely & attentive. Great food, great service & a lovely atmosphere. Everything tasted so fresh. I would highly recommend you try it.

The best, most authentic, and incredibly delicious restaurant in Portsmouth. Easy top 5 places to eat in Pompey

On a friends recommendation I took my wife, sister and sister in law to Nemrut tonight. I am glad to say that we all thoroughly enjoed ourselves, the food was amazing as was the service, definitely a place I will be goung back to.

Excellent Food. Staff very attentive.

We had a wonderful evening here, with a very warm welcome. Excellent menu, food cooked to order in the open kitchen. Nice choice of refreshing beers plus the usual spirits. Staff happy and attentive.Very reasonable prices, we will be back.

Brilliant food & service. Highly recommend.

A very nice restaurant with great food and service. Their Kebabs are excellent and the Manager and Staff are very cordial. I recommend this place for Food lovers.

Delicious meal, excellent service and friendly staff - ideally located in Albert Road - handy for nearby music venues. I’ll be going back when next in the area!

Stunning meal, wonderful flavours and the staff were so friendly and helpful! Highly recommend and will be returning.

Great menu ,tasty food , friendly people...

Came here after show at King's Theatre. Great food.

The main dishes I have nothing to complain about. But there seems to be a lot of misinformation on there menu. The lady who picks up the calls seems to never know what day it is and comes up with bizarre excuses. I ordered there dessert which states it comes with cream and walnuts. It instead comes with almond flakes and no cream. When I question her about it just like every other issue. The response I receive is “it’s just like that now” “I didn’t know, thought that’s how we always do it” This is not the first time and I don’t plan on coming back. A child could’ve had that or someone who has a specific Nut allergy would’ve never noticed. The fact she didn’t take any responsibility on behalf of the restaurant or even apologise is just astonishing.

Ventured here on the 27/1/23 for my bro in laws birthday. Th decor is basic, and it's not exactly authentic but you can overlook these things if the food is good. We had a mixed hit and cold meze and mixed kebab each and pleased to say it was Very good. Not over garlicky, and had a great bbq taste to the meat. The hot and cold meze were good and tasty, though I found it odd that there was a lack of bread which had to be asked for. Stafff were very pleasant and the price was great. All in Inc bottle of wine and 6 beers we were lookinf at £113 for the 4 of us so just under £30 a head. Would deffo go back!

We were looking for a place to have dinner in Portsmouth. After a while without making our mind we found ourselves standing outside of this restaurant when a very friendly gentleman came outside to welcome us and asked If we're hungry. He opened the door and found us a seat. I must say I'm very great full he stepped outside to invite us because the service was just fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was flawless. I should have written this review earlier. The gentleman also suggested places for us to visit in Portsmouth and I'm very thankful for the fantastic service.

Delicious food and excellent service!

A must visit in Southsea. Delicious and tasty food, staff super friendly and flexible, great with kids and in a central location in Southsea, Portsmouth. Well worth the visit!

A lovely meal, very quiet. Service was good and reasonably priced

Amazing food, friendly staff and excellent value for money. Always make us feel so welcome and go out of their way to find us a table even when very busy! Waitress kind and helpful! Highly recommended. Best Turkish in Southsea!

Really good food and atmosphere. Recommended the platters with a little of everything 👌

Unbelievable service with great food ! The staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable of the food on offer which results in a ideal dining out experience Back again still the same high standards being set

This is more of a takeaway restaurant with tables for eating in. But omg the food was delicious and reasonably priced!! I had kuzu kavurma which I would recommend

Great Turkish food & a few beers with friends.

Had a work leaving get together. Not eaten here’s before. Was made to feel welcome with friendly staff. Was given a pink rose when arrived which was a nice touch. The food was very nice, could of done with a little more rice with the dish as i had a lot of sauce with little rice. Apart from that, I would recommend trying this place.

Really nice food and good value! Very friendly service.

A small place that punches well above its weight. Great food and friendly service

Visited last night whilst in Portsmouth to visit family. Managed to get a table despite not having booked, something I think you should do as it’s only small and obviously very popular. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere very nice. The food is fantastic. Freshly cooked and very tasty. The Calamari starter tasted better and fresher than the Calamari we had on a recent trip to Rhodes. I had Incuk, lamb shank slow roasted served with roasted veg and a creamy sauce. It was so well done, a knife was needed. Will definitely return and would highly recommend

Superb restaurant, Babanos and Adana kebab beautifully cooked with great smokey flavour from the mangal. A well established Albert Rd restaurant with friendly owners.

Not very Happy! The price is as big as the food is! One plate for 2 was actually for 1…Sorry, but I will not recommend it.

Big disappointment!!! Ordered borek with very high expectations - received something that tasted more like asian empanadas it had nothing to do with amazing balkan borek a big fat no!

Great service, very friendly staff and helpful too. Food was really tasty. My only feedback is that there was not enough rice. However well worth a visit

We found this place, knowing nothing about it, but something have caught our sight, so we decide to stop by. Fantastic food, served with a smile. Three different plates, all of those were great. Our stop was during a long trip in South England and was one of the best place we had dinner.

The service was great and so was the bill. The food was delicious! We cleaned our plates. I kept saying it the next day. The prawn starter was delicious. The houmous was fresh and creamy. Our main was the mixed grill. The Adana was in the dish and it was fresh and lean tasting. (Sometimes you get an Adana and it can be a bit gritty and fatty. Not this one!)

Delicious food and reasonably priced. A no frills restaurant with authentic cuisine. We came here at 6pm and had a lovely meal. We shared two mains from the specials part of the menu. One was a tasty lamb stew and the other a mixed vegetarian dish ( I think it was number 53 and 56 on the menu!) both served with rice. We were given a small starter dish of delicious olives and a homemade chilli sauce with warm flat bread. We also were given a couple of pieces of Turkish delight as we paid the bill which came to less than £30. Efficient service and you can watch the chef at work using the grill. As we left it was filling up with regular customers. Highly recommended.

Very small and noisy place with inordinately excessive wait time for food. We had called a few hours in advance and booked a table for two adults and two children - got there on time only to find that there was no clean table available for us. Staff cleaned one and then took a good few minutes getting us all four chairs that we needed, basic and not very comfortable too. When the last one finally arrived, I joked that we could all sit down now. The man who brought the last chair retorted ‘well you’re lucky to get a table.’ Our order was taken shortly afterwards but we had to then wait for an hour just for our starters to arrive. Main course followed. Food quality was reasonable - no better than you would get at any standard Turkish restaurant, plates way too small and rice portion quite a joke as it was way too insufficient for four people. Main course was served without serving spoons. We were told (by the same gentleman who had told us that we were lucky to get a table) that we would get them only if we asked for them. This was our first family visit to Portsmouth. My advice to people would be to look for a better place if you’re in the mood for Turkish food.

Pleasant meal; lovely Turkish hospitality.

Nice food nice customer service and is good place to spend time and eat a good meal

Lovely food. Nice friendly service.

Super friendly, 2 courses of delicious-ness. Update July 2022 Still as good as ever

Lovely lady serving delicious food would recommend :)

very nice little Turkish restaurant. Great food!

Delicious freshly cooked turkish food. Lamb shish was really tender.

Lovely meal enjoyed every mouth full staff ready pleasant would return

Absolutely wonderful food! My first time eating Turkish food and I loved it, the staff were lovely and friendly 😊 thanks for an amazing date night x

Décevant, nous sommes habitués des restaurants turcs et les plats ici manquent cruellement d épices. Frais mes fade. Je n' y retournerai pad

Fairly average for the pricetag. Visited for a birthday party and unfortunately felt like they took advantage of our party, four of us dined there and despite the friendly start, things went a tad sour when we asked for a birthday surprise, thought they would do a little cake with a candle, instead a shot which cost £3.50! That and they nearly set fire to our table in the process. Had to argue over this as no mention of cost or what it was, bearing in mind our bill was over £150 anyways, it was a tad cheeky. Eitherway, the food was pretty good, not outstanding but serviceable for the price.

A pleasant experience. You get a small appetizer of olives, sauce and bread to start. I had the stuffed eggplant which was a bit too oily for my liking. You get a small dessert also to end the meal.

Very friendly amazing atmosphere and delicious food.

Brilliant experience. Great fun. Food was great Staff very friendly

Food was nice but tastes were not strong

We thought that Turkish food would be boring.... Wrong! We came here in December and again in February. Served both times by a lovely chap called Ali. He was funny and nice to talk to... Not afraid to poke fun at us and take it back in return. The food was genuinely really nice (amazing). My wife who was not the most keen on chicken and lamb, decided that this was now her favourite Restaurant... The food was lovely. We will make sure we come back when we can. The baklava... Amazing.

Always great, friendly and authentic. My only complaint is that sometimes the wine could be colder!

I recommend Nemrut Restaurant to absolutely anyone and everyone. Beyond happy with the first time experience I had there today. The food was AMAZING , and to top it off the staff was friendly and funny and all round amazing people to be around when having dinner on a Sunday night. EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO TRY THIS RESTAURANT AT LEAST ONCE!!! Thank u to all the staff from the bottom of my heart for the costumer service today! Can’t wait to visit again!

Delicious fresh food, make sure you book a table though as it gets busy!

First visit. We both chose the Karniyarik (stuffed aubergine) and it was delicious! Very filling so we decided not to have dessert. The service was friendly throughout and we will be back to try some other dishes.

Lovely food, excellent service and really friendly staff. They looked after me very well when I was working at the nearby theatre, food was always delicious and served very quickly.

Excellent place staff very friendly. Good variety of meals. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Will go again. Recommended.

The foods were delicious. The staff and service were perfect. We spent a unforgettable supper here. Thank you!

Lovely food and super friendly service.

We visited this restaurant for the first time at the weekend, after finding it through an Internet search, as we wanted to eat before going to the theatre. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is very clean and simple. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The menu offers so much choice and they were also willing to adapt it to suit my dietary requests. We enjoyed hot starters and a main course each. The meals came out in good time, hot and were delicious. When we are back in town again, we will certainly be coming back. Thank you so much for a lovely meal.

Friendly staff, fantastic food and great atmosphere...........my favourite Turkish restaurant!

Fresh food lovely staff all you could want from a top Turkish restaurant

Friendly and professional staff and delicious authentic turkish food especially my all time favourite Iskendar kebab.

Very hospitable and attentive waiter. Great Turkish food. We will come back!

Tastey authentic food with friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly venue, I asked many questions, but the staff was very polite to answer. And the food… rainbow on the mouth!!

This is one of those places you could easily walk or drive past without a second look but the food is excellent - proper Turkish barbecue with a skilled grill master. We only started getting takeaway food from them during the first lockdown, when there were far fewer places to choose from, but so glad we did. It's impossible to say what's best because everything we've had has been impressively good. Aubergine stuffed with minced lamb, chicken kebab, moussaka, mixed grill, esme salad (tomato, garlic, chilli and herbs - has a bit of a kick). And they make their own bread, which goes well with everything, too. Now you can eat in, too. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

Excellent food, lovely staff, great service.

Really tasty food. The vineleaves were especially great! Good value. Lovely service!

food is good quality and delicious. I do recommend for who ever visit to southsea.
