These includes tasty food that comes in a great variety, and fast and reliable service. We strive to maintain our standards whilst constantly refining ourselves to meet the demands of every customer.

When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.Spicing Up the CommunitySince 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock. Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

• Greek • Southsea
Steki has been offering a taste of Greece in Portsmouth since 1998. Eight years later, another Steki restaurant opened in Brighton, but this one on Portsmouth’s Osbourne Road still continues to serve time-honoured Greek dishes made from recipes and ingredients that the Steki team, and indeed the Portsmouth locals, swear by. Traditional Greek dishes like stifado and moussaka are not to be missed, while the seafood and BBQ specials are packed with flavour and so tender you’ll barely need to chew. Steki Authentic Greek Cuisine is extremely popular and a very relaxing place to dine, hence you’ll need to reserve a table in advance.

    We had a wonderful family meal out at Sakura. We were early for our table and had to wait, but we were given a small table by the front door to sit and think about what we wanted to order. When our table was ready, and throughout our meal, we were attended to promptly and often by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The food came out incredibly fast and it was fresh, delicious and presented nicely. It's very clear this restaurant is popular as it was full the whole time, but because of the way it's laid out, we felt like we had our own private booth and we felt nice and cosy partitioned off from other diners. We were incredibly impressed by the service we received, despite it being so busy. When we left there was a queue out the door! We will definitely be back to this wonderful place.

    Excellent food, delicious. Was very packed so it was loud but the atmosphere was lovely. Had to wait quite a while for the food to arrive as it was very busy but it was worth the wait. Also, had booked a table but had to wait 5 mins to be seated due to it being so busy but apart from this, it was an excellent evening 😀
