The best restaurants in Southampton South East

Excellent service, wonderful ambience, absolutely delicious food, fabulous menu, and the food was so delicious. Great quality ingredients and really good presentation. If you haven’t eaten here you are seriously missing out!!! Booking strongly advised.

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

Absolutely brilliant find! It's a little out the way so never noticed it before. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, all vegetarian/vegan. Did not miss meat at all! Service was lovely, was a little unimpressed that 12.5% service was added to the bill but was happy to pay it. We will be back!

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

Ordered a takeaway for a birthday get-together for 8 people. This was also a trial run for a family visit as we're local. The delivery time was nearly 2 hours.....not acceptable at all. The food was near enough cold. We were very disappointed and annoyed as one of our meals was missing too. The food tasted ok which was the only posotive but there was hardly any chicken in the meals...they were mainly all sauce.....skimping!!! The jalfrezzeis didn't use chilli's....they used peppers.....skimping!!! Lazzeez... you have shot yourselves in the foot!!!! None of us will be ordering or visiting here again. If you want curry sauce with a lack of ingredients and your evening ruined .....order from here ....they won't dissapoint.

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! 🍕💛

Disfrutamos de excelentes cuencos de fideos. El servicio fue rápido y excelente y está a solo un minuto a pie de la estación.

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!
