Palace Café Restaurant
“The staff here were simply delightful, radiating a warmth and friendliness that made us feel right at home from the moment we walked through the door. Their welcoming nature set a positive tone for the entire afternoon. As for the food, it was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was prepared with such care and attention to detail, truly a culinary delight. We visited for a late lunch on a Sunday and sampled the Joojeh kabab, an absolute highlight. This chargrilled chicken kebab, served with saffron rice, yogurt, and a fresh salad on the side, was simply divine. The chicken was perfectly cooked and infused with a lovely smoky flavour from the grill, complemented beautifully by the fragrant saffron rice and the creamy yogurt. This dish alone is worth a visit. The atmosphere complemented the experience beautifully. The space was warm and inviting, creating a cosy and relaxed environment perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. It felt comfortable and homely, yet with a touch of elegance that made the afternoon feel special. Given our fantastic experience, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Whether you're looking for a spot to enjoy a quiet meal, celebrate a special occasion, or simply savour some excellent food in a lovely setting, this is the best place to eat Persian food close to Portsmouth. From the outstanding service to the exceptional food and the warm, inviting atmosphere, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. If you have the chance to visit, do not hesitate – you will not be disappointed.”
