The best restaurants in Portsmouth South East

Incredible service, the woman who served us was so passionate about the food!

Gem of a Turkish takeaway. Excellent meat quality and their Turkish bread is absolutely fantastic. Very fast delivery service. Would certainly recommend this establishment.

Having been to Vietnam over the summer, we have been trying to find somewhere with authentic food and this place did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and my personal favorite was the green papaya salad which instantly transported me back. We did have some issues, hence the 4*. Service was slow, with starters being sat finished in front of us for almost 15 minutes (bearing in mind there were only two other tables there and one waitress was seen sat on her phone scrolling). We waited 15 minutes for our banh mi to come out and mine was served with the bottom burnt - cue a further wait for another to be served. We did appreciate the staff apologising for the wait. I'm sure we were just unfortunate based on the amazing reviews we saw prior to booking, we'd definitely still try this place again!

what a delight for my sweet tooth, great cakes great coffee, grea, we certainly enjoyed ourselves... will be back

Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere and a great choice of extremely good and very fresh food. First time here and will definitely be back.

Had a lovely brunch, with my family, at Melodys today. Portion sizes were very generous, and the food was delicious. So nice to see a genuine independent cafe, still run by a local person who cares for her community.

Nice little place to visit. The staff were lovely.

Absolutely incredible vegan food, delicious coffee and friendly, helpful staff. What more could you want?! Definitely worth a visit.

Not one for leaving reviews usually however this cafe deserves one. Super friendly staff and a great fry up!

Wonderful freshly cooked food and served with a smile. Very accommodating for my vegan friend and spotlessly clean. Food is delicious and full of flavour and worth a little wait whilst they cook it. The Venezuelan shandy was super refreshing as were the juices.

Having just returned from 2 weeks training in Portsmouth I cannot stop raving about Kyes Cafe to everyone! Whether you are passing by for a quick bite to eat or on your lunch break, they have so much variety, very generous portion sizes, a different special everyday, the best hearty home comforts to satisfy any craving and don’t even get me started on the biscoff and kinder brownies and Victoria sponge! Kye and the lovely ladies alongside him make a fantastic team and always make you feel welcome, greeting you with a smile. You can see so much effort and love goes into their cafe and I will be sure to pay a visit whenever I’m back down in Portsmouth.

Fabulous Mexican in city. We started in the premier inn city centre which is all dead and then we find the gem of a place with authentic Mexican food and cocktails. Paul service is great and advice on the menu. The ambiance is really beautiful and we sat in the booth which was lovely. I am vegetarian and they have so many options. Can’t recommend it enough.

I didn’t even know this wonderful shop was here. They closed at 3 but I was desperate for a colouring gel and the lovely owner stayed open until 3.45 for me to get there. Amazing shop amazing owner. Thank you…you have gained a new customer in me and my friends 😊

Loved the bottomless brunch!! Great food and lovely drinks. The waitress was lovely and very quick xx

The food was ok, but the service was embarrassingly slow. When we arrived there were 3 other tables with guests. We waited over 40 minutes for 12 pieces of sushi. Tasted fine but having waited that long, most food would! We then needed to wait another 20mins after that for fish and chips. Staff apologised for the delay and gave us copious tap water. Once food was served no one checked to see if we were ok or needed anything more. There are better places to go for a dinner of that standard.
