The best restaurants serving Arabian food in South East

If you like Middle Eastern food, you will love this restaurant. We had Koobideh (mince lamb skewer) and tender lamb mini steaks. Both came with a very nice salad garnish and complimentary chilli sauce if you ask for it. The food was very well prepared and presented. The service was friendly and efficient. They also had a nice Lebanese red wine. The Restaurant is spacious with no loud music so for us was an excellent experience all round.

This place is epic. The food is AMAZING!!! all made in house including the cakes and sweet treats. Nadia the owner is the warmest host- its like you are a family friend visiting their home. I am currently eating my way through the menu and haven't found a dish i don't love. Please go in and try you wont be disappointed!!!!

Best grill I have ever been to. People are great

Delicious, beautifully presented and clearly labelled vegan options. Inspired to try and recreate the coconut dhal at home - loved the added twist of the almond and raisin garnish! Lovely service too ❤️

A fantastic find - an excellent addition to the many great restaurants in Southsea. The food was extremely good and the service outstanding - will definitely visit again.

Decided to try out this place. Good location, clean inside and lots of choice. Ordered two house burgers and sadly they were a let down. They were completely flavourless, no seasoning and cooked so dry, chips were ok but again not great.

Terrible service could not wait to get you out even half way through the desert, I’ve been coming here for years food has gone down by size at least 50%, You won’t be getting my custom after spending over £200

Me and my partner travelled to Southampton for a weekend. We found this restaurant in google search and decided to have dinner in an Iranian restaurant. We were greeted very well by the owner. We ordered Lamb and chicken kebab with rice, The food was one of the best quality food we had so far. very nice cooked, tasty and soft. We have been to so many Iranian restaurant and Melo was one of the best and it's our favourite one now. The price was reasonable and I can say it’s a good quality and quantity of food. The dessert was very fresh and tasty too. The owner of Resturant was very polite and helpful. I recommend this Resturant to everyone who loves the good food.

Excellent food, especially the chicken soup, our new favourite. Never disappointed. Staff are all very friendly. Highly recommend

English breakfast and light breakfasts served with what hot beverages you like. Delicious and hot served at the table. Small and intimate. Opens at 7 am.

I would like to thank Fatima for a lovely take away meal. We could not eat in due to Covid, Fatima put together the meal we would of ordered and we collected and had our meal at home. As always the food and the service was outstanding it took us back to our holidays in Morocco. Thank you Fatima we will see you soonTricia

Superb authentic Afghan food and pleasant staff. Highly recommended. I went with Afghan friends who were able to advise on dish choices. Great variety - all very tasty

The doner meat and chips is basically big enough for 2 people. The chips are very nice and doner meat was generous. Chilli sauce was hot! I normally like my doner meat a bit more well done but that is only a mild criticism.

We ordered for the first time after seeing this restaurant on a lunch time walk. The food is so fresh, super tasty and absolutely delicious! The intensely seasoned meats were divine and the combination of salad and dips really finished off the wraps. The wraps were loaded with meat and the pricing was reasonable. We also had half chicken and a lunch time platter, all of which were sensational. My colleagues and I will definitely be back! Oh not to forget how friendly the staff are. Very helpful during phone order and answered all questions clearly. They had a smile on their face as well, which is a rare thing nowadays. I would say well worth a trip to this place. They do fast food and they do it really well!

absolutely amazing experience!! the food was lovely and the service was brilliant. as a vegetarian, it can be hard to find restaurants with good quality veggie meat substitutes, but Chello had an amazing selection. my parents absolutely loved our server Raff, who was very kind and friendly. the whole ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, and we had a great time. i’d definitely recommend this restaurant, it’s perfect for a family night out.
