• Caribbean • Portsmouth

Booked 8 times today

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.
