The Fratton - (Near Hampshire, london)

oki david Hands down the best spot in Portsmouth! I came to Indulge X for a night out and was blown away. The Jollof rice was fire – so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Their chicken wings were crispy and spicy, just how I like them. And the cocktails? 10/10 – creative, strong, and super tasty. But what really makes Indulge X stand out is the vibe. The music was lovely , they played the latest Afrobeats song , the DJ kept the energy up all night. This is definitely the number one Afrobeats nightclub in Portsmouth. Great people, great food, amazing nightlife. I’ll definitely be back!

James Leach Great spot right by the sea. Shows sports. Good drinks selection. Good value for food. Great staff

Donna Finch I had a lovely carvery here, Sunday. The food was outstanding. Fresh choice of 4 different meats, outstanding gravy, gorgeous roast potatoes. Yorkshire puddings as big as your head! 5 different veg and amazing cauliflower cheese. The atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday. The ship and castle was totally spotless, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back with my family. Best Sunday lunch in a very long time.

Sami I haven’t dined in yet, but I recently ordered my first takeaway and had mixed feelings about this place. Firstly, the entrance was a little confusing as the door signage wasn’t clear. I initially pulled on the wrong door. Once inside, I even thought I might be in the wrong restaurant and was about to ask for help, until I noticed the brand name above the counter. When I approached the till, the first staff member saw me but didn’t seem interested in engaging. I said hello and told him I was there to collect my takeaway. He was listening to music, looked at me briefly, then turned back to what he was doing. I was genuinely surprised that this kind of customer service was acceptable. It felt like he simply didn’t care. A short while later, a young woman served me and her attitude was completely different. She greeted me warmly, was efficient, and served me with a smile. She clearly made the effort, which I appreciated. I paid, collected my order, and left. The food itself was good, but I only tried one dish, so I don’t feel I have enough experience yet to fully recommend the restaurant. I ordered jollof rice with goat meat and coleslaw, which cost £18.50. While tasty, it does feel slightly on the expensive side. Side note: all their meat is halal.

Jerome I originally came here to try the Mapo tofu and have returned three times over the past five weeks. The prices are excellent for the portion sizes, and the food has been fantastic. Weve tried something different each visit and havent found a single thing to fault. The staff are very friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. If we lived nearby, I think Id be here every few days.

Ilona Thompson We had an excellent meal here which was a lovely surprise as the pub wasn’t our first choice. Everything was good, hot and filling. We were catching the ferry to Bilbao and had picked another restaurant but it was shut and we found the Dolphin instead. I must say I’m glad we did! Dave the manager was very friendly and helpful, telling us about a quicker route to the ferry terminal. Thanks Dave and next time we’re in Portsmouth we’ll be sure to call in.
