"I met up with old and new friends at this restaurant. We had a wonderful time, the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The company was fantastic as well. There is limited parking available, but street parking is an option too. We had dinner and the cost was between £10-20 per person. I highly recommend trying the Lemon Pilau Rice."

"Unfortunately, we were seated at a table in the lobby, which resulted in a chilly draft every time the door opened for staff or other diners. While this was not the most comfortable location, I assume the restaurant was trying to accommodate as many customers as possible while following social distancing guidelines. I was disappointed by the lack of Covid awareness at the restaurant. We were not prompted to sanitize our hands at any point, despite the NHS app check-in being conveniently located right next to our table. Throughout our two-hour visit (service was quite slow), not a single staff member mentioned the app or encouraged customers to use it. It is important to remember that the pandemic is still ongoing and safety measures like sanitizing and contact tracing should be a priority. I would like to thank the waiter with the colorful waistcoat who served us for including a thoughtful "happy birthday" message on my friend's dessert slate. It was a special touch that was appreciated."

"The food was excellent and the drinks were generous in size, but unfortunately, the service was terrible. Our group of 25 people had 3 tables that were adequate for us to sit at and chat, but we were not allowed to move or switch seats, which was inconvenient. Guests who arrived late were not allowed to join us at our tables and were instead sent to the bar area, which we found unacceptable. We were also told that the bill would be split evenly among the tables, but later discovered that food from one table had been added to another table's bill, causing confusion during payment. The staff spoke rudely to some of our guests when they tried to join full tables, instructing them to sit at an empty table instead. This experience left us feeling uncomfortable and disrespected, and we will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"So we moved near here but due to lockdown spent months imagining what it's like. Now we've been a few times, great pub, lovely decor inside and great atmosphere. Reasonably priced for most drinks, and the burgers are great. They're not the fat juicy burgers I normally see, it was more reminiscent of a bbq burger and it was a nice change. Loved the smokiness of the patty."

"The food and drinks at this restaurant were great, but the service was terrible. Our party of 25 people had 3 tables, which we understood, but we were not allowed to move or swap seats to talk to each other. Guests who arrived late were not allowed to sit with us and were sent downstairs to the bar area, which we found unacceptable. We were told each table would receive a separate bill, but then one table's food was added to another, making payment more difficult. The person in charge spoke rudely to our guests when they tried to switch tables, and ultimately combined two tables' bills despite telling us not to swap. We will not be returning to this restaurant due to the uncomfortable experience and rude treatment we received."

"Really nice pub, great views of the whole of Portsmouth. The good first, food and service was excellent, 100% recommend! Now the sad bit. My sister and her husband booked this pub for our mothers wake. Many of our guests (15ish) didn 't get their desserts even though it was charged for. The bar staff said we could purchase another dessert as the table 17 tab (our tab) was now closed. We were told the reason was we didn 't eat fast enough and they now didn 't have staff to make the desserts. About 30 mins later the manager came over and offered us a refund on all the people who didn 't get a dessert. He did confirm the desserts were charged for under the table 17 tab. Yes many of us were frustrated, we said it was ok to keep the money and we left. Very saddened to write a review like this."

"I last reviewed The Kings Head a few years ago when it had changed hands and had gone down hill badly! I'm now delighted to report the current landlord has got the place back on its feet both as a pub and a restaurant. We had Sunday Lunch on 1st January and the food was nothing short of superb. The best roast beef I've had in many a year and the yorkshire and vegetables were beautifully prepared and imaginative. My wife's vegetarian option was lovely and she ate every last bit! The service was lovely, making us feel at ease, unrushed and well cared for. It was also great value. We will be back soon. It's so good to have our local back again. Thanks to all involved!"

"We had a table reservation but when we arrived, the restaurant was closed without any prior notice and there was no sign on the door. We had made the reservation 2 weeks in advance only to find out that they had closed the day after we booked. It was disappointing that they took our reservation knowing they were going to close. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all received a rating of 1."

"The restaurant has a great and extensive menu that can be viewed on their website beforehand. Although the starters were not the best value for the price, we were more than satisfied with the mains. We ordered a variety of dishes including a Thai Papaya Salad and a traditional bowl of Pad Thai. The Sea Bass main was especially delicious and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed a bottle of Sancerre from their good wine list, which was reasonably priced at £20. Overall, it was one of the best Thai meals we've had in a long time, despite having tried many in Brighton Hove."

"Having purchased cakes in the caffe several times when staying in London I felt sure that afternoon tea there would be something special but sadly I was mistaken, they didn't seem to have any idea about my booking and we were sat at the back of the caffe, service took forever and when it arrived we were sadly disappointed, the tea was served in a tiny pot and it took me attempts to get some boiling water to top it up with, the sandwiches were mediocre with fillings not to our taste and the cakes were more like little deserts and extremely sickly, this was accompanied by quite dry scones but as we'd not had lunch we were both quite hungry so ate these, as neither of us could manage the rather sickly desert type cakes at the time we decided to take them with us rather than leave them as the afternoon tea wasn't cheap, this took a very long time to get organised and we had to chase the waiters several times before they finally arrived back with us in a takeaway container. The whole experience was that of organised chaos and having paid the bill as was part of an anniversary treat for my partner I felt ripped off. We would never go there again for tea and I will go back to buying the odd nice cake from there as and when I am in London"

"I went with my wife to this restaurant for a quick dinner. The manager was RACIST, he was rude in a passive aggressive manner asking us if we are new to this country implying that we aren't well cultured enough to be fit in his restaurant. The food was outrageously spicy, although this might be an act of vengeance to make his point clear that we have offended him in some way. So can't really comment on food. But yea such a downer to be here when all u want is a nice meal with a warm service Pathetic "

"I looked up restaurants in the area and this one popped up as having good reviews so I decided to stop in. This place is well worth the good feedback, the food was great and the prices are very reasonable considering the location. They seem to have had a refurb since some of the pics on here were posted and it looks really smart inside. The staff were attentive and very friendly. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a decent curry in the area."

"We order a lot from Jool however it is normally done via Just Eat. The food has been always great and they are normally on time if not early with delivery. Today we ordered direct and our order is still not with us.. Phoned the restaurant twice and being told food is on the way…the guy is literally round the corner. With the restaurant literally 5 minutes up the road I don’t see why it is taking over 35 mins to get to us…! Would order through this place however not direct takes triple the time and now I am almost certain if I even get my food tonight it will be cold after being driven around for 35+ mins! Not happy and tummy rumbling!"

"The meal was satisfying as usual. The service was slightly slow due to Hasina being busy, but it was not unacceptable. There were loud guests at the table behind us, but it was not Hasina's fault. Overall, dining at Hasina is always a pleasant experience."

"Let's see, walked in and was calm, played music and was served by the waiter who sat on us. Both waiters and managers were kind, they gave us honest opinions about the food, and when they thought something would not fit our range, they told us. The food was fast and the service flew as it should. It is a shame that there were only 3 other tables of 3 and 5. An atmosphere would have created a perfect evening. I say I can't blame food, drink, service or hygiene. The fact that they show a window in the kitchen only builds my confidence that the hygiene standard it in the entire restaurant and not just the front. We will definitely return as I now have one of their loyalty cards and get both offers and points. Maybe we'll bring some more people. On a last note, the manager spoke to us about a Rajesh Khana Tribute Night, would like to go there for this. It seems to be an ongoing monthly event. Can wait until they start."

"Another fabulous night at Yara. A very busy lively vibe with plenty of lovely people all having a great time. There were 4 of us and we had kebabs, veg stew and Mousaka...as well as starters which I can never spell very well so I'll just say they were lovely. The staff are always super helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They have great advise and recommendations. If you haven't been recently ..can't recommend it enough. Food excellent....service excellent! We go almost weekly...always great."
