The best restaurants in Southampton South East

I’ve dined at Kohinoor many times since discovering it back in 2022 but I hadn’t had a takeaway until last night. I can confirm that their food is just as lovely to take away as it is when you eat in. The garlic chilli chicken I had was one of the best I’ve ever had and the portion sizes are massive! Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Southampton without a doubt. Love it here

First red flag should have been the fact we were the only table from 7pm on a Friday night. Ordered arranchini to start - worst I’ve ever had. Barely any risotto rice inside, very hard on the outside and small portion size. Main of monkfish from the specials menu was nice, however so overpriced and would not have ordered it had I clocked the price. Again, Tiramisu for dessert - worst I’ve ever had. I’m not sure how you can mess up tiramisu but they have managed it, Borderline watery, no thickness to the mascarpone cream, did not finish it. This was one of the most expensive meals I have had out, and sadly the standard was sub par. So many great Italians out there, more keenly priced. Once we paid and left, within 5 minutes the doors were shut, lights out. Clearly the only table they were expecting, Note the Italian next door was very busy and this was still the case once we left at 9pm - as it should be on a Friday evening. Personally I would avoid.

Great selection of fish to choose from. Young friendly and engaging front of house team. Had a very enjoyable lunch and look forward to returning. Many thanks ‘Tim’

Great restaurant, friendly staff great selection good food highly recommend! they serve breakfast, lunch etc. bacon sandwich and sausage sandwich are really nice! highly recommend

Really lovely food, ambience, and service, with interesting wine pairings. Engaging blend of well presented dishes paired with eating things with your hands which stops it feeling too formal. Genuinely different recipes and ingredients. A relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where licking the last of your delicious food from your fingers is encouraged not frowned upon!

Absolutely fantastic place, it felt as being in abroad. The food was full of flavours, a joy with every mouthful, and portions were generous. Totally recommend it.

Been to Dhaba, around after a month as seen Insta post of some new dishes and honestly another amazing experience of food and service once again, well done guys

Had a el Chapo with fries and spicy chicken wings, absolutely delicious, the only problem was, not enough chicken wings, so moorish, went down lovely with a cold beer. Will definitely be using again

After just moving into the area, we landed up living very close to Spitfire. We have had a few pizzas since and cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible, fresh pizza and amazing price. Thank you so much! 🍕💛

We needed to eat something before going to the Mayflower to see a show but did not want to go somewhere far or which would cost an arm and a leg. We found My Rice on the web, read the reviews on Trip Advisor and thought ‘let’s go for it’. We have not been disappointed! Food was really good, served quickly, pipping hot. Good portion sizes. And located less than 5 min from the theatre. Will visit again for sure!

Lovely little spot, sat out in the sun for breakfast and it was a delight. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was first class, would love to come back.

THE BEST BROWNIES YOU WILL EVER EAT. Categorically. Such a nice atmosphere in the Cafe, it's not overcrowded either. I have seen this company at Victorious and other festivals and the quality is always high. I am slowly managing to convert other friends to using this as their regular.

¡EL PUNTO A SER! La mejor gente, el mejor ambiente, increíbles bocados y refrescos. Organizan muchos eventos diferentes para todos, mi favorito es el Live Music Jam. ¡Mi lugar favorito en Southampton!

Met up with friends for a few drinks before heading out into town. Ruben was amazing, recommending some great beers. Always super friendly, great beers and great atmosphere! Love this place!

Mientras espera para ir al ferry. . . Encontramos este encantador café... El personal era muy amable y la comida era buena también. . Además, podrías tomar un desayuno más pequeño si quisieras también... Si volvemos a visitar Southampton sin duda vamos a ir allí para nuestro desayuno
