Restaurants in Bournemouth

“Ordered a takeaway lunch for 35 of my colleagues today, and we’re not disappointed. Simsim team went above and beyond, food was so fresh, delicious and worth every penny. Will definitely bulk order again.”

“Simply incredible. I've been to many Japanese restaurants, but this small, cozy place has undoubtedly become my favorite. The food quality is outstanding. Everything is freshly prepared with great care. You can truly feel that each dish is made with love and a deep respect for Japanese tradition. The fish is fresh, the flavours are balanced, and the variety is impressive, especially for such an intimate restaurant. The space is calm, clean, and thoughtfully organised. It’s run by a lovely couple who are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even more special. Their hospitality and attention to detail really stand out. My partner and I ordered the summer roll, salmon hoso maki, black tiger roll maki (my partner’s favorite), Philadelphia roll (my favorite), tuna and salmon sashimi. The prices are fair and more than worth it for the quality you receive. It’s the kind of hidden gem you stumble upon and immediately want to share with everyone. More people need to discover and try this place. ❤️”

“This place has a really nice, romantic, and calming vibe. The food is delicious and the portions are huge. The waiters are really friendly too. I'd definitely recommend it. It's one of my favorite restaurants.”

“Such incredible sushi! Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, the execution is on point, everything was handmade and so fresh. They have great vegan options, some of which aren’t on the menu so be sure to ask! Extremely reasonably priced for such high quality sushi. This is the best sushi I’ve had even having been to Japan!”

“Great Little Place. Best Falafel Wraps in Bournemouth. Great Food which happens to great for Vegan and Veggie Diets alike. Staff are friendly. Toilet Available. Option to dine in or takeaway. Choice of drinks include soft drinks, coffee and freshly made juice.”

“Wow! Awesome breakfast at this place. Coffee is great, portions are fantastic (check the amount of egg on that toast!), service is fast and Mr Escobar is super friendly. All reasonably priced too. Can't recommend it enough.. I'll definitely be back to try more like the tapas, it looks great!”

“The doorstop sandwiches are genuinely unbeatable. The best sandwiches you can get. I honestly cannot recommend enough, and the staff are absolutely delightful, too!”

“Very good balanced food. Really delicious and probably one of the best Nigiri Unagi we've ever tasted. Reasonable prices for good quality clean food. And the service was spot on.”

“It was my first time at Dicky's after a recommendation. Great food, very friendly, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere.”

“Delicious food today. Katsu curry was the best I’ve had in Dorset. Sushi fish was succulent and super fresh. The Ramen bowls also went down well. Very good indeed. A firm favourite with my son, also who travels to Japan regularly. This is his go to local when he’s home.”

“sooo good resturant and the owner is so friendly”

“We go there every week, I've celebrated birthdays there, it's always wonderful! Wonderful attention, wonderful food and quality / price! Have you tried their ramen? It's just amazing too. There's only one thing I never get to know, and that's the recipe for hot barbecue sauce, heck guys! I would die for that hot sauce!! We will be back soon! By the way, if you want to try something different and originally from Korea... Try the plum Soju + asahi beer, ask the employees how to prepare it, are you ready for something so delicious?”

“Good fresh food, very reasonable price. Fresh charcoal grilled meats, could improve with homemade sauces. Overall happy customer”

“Me and my partner had a very pleasant experience. The place was very cosy vintage music Hungarian atmosphere, the owners were very welcoming, and the food was stunning! Everything so delicious from starter to dessert. You can even take away if you can’t eat all the food. We are a bit far from Bournemouth but we will definitely return whenever we are around the area, and we will definitely recommend to anyone! ❤️”

“Our Saturday lunch at Makla was an absolute delight from start to finish! We savoured a delightful array of mezze dishes, each bursting with fresh and vibrant flavours. The rose baklava was, without a doubt, the best we have ever encountered – the delicate essence of rose infused beautifully with the rich, flaky pastry with a delicious white chocolate sauce. Every bite was a little piece of heaven. To top it all off, our server Nuno was an absolute star! His warm and attentive service truly made our visit extra special. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with exquisite flavours and exceptional hospitality, Makla is a must-visit!”

“Friendly and clean service. Food is made fresh - the chips were nice & crispy with a generous portion. The halloumi burger is the best I've ever had, very tasty! My only negative is that there was no check back by server. Visited 20/09/22”

“DELICIOUS and great customer service! From the moment we arrived, without a booking, the waiter was friendly and humorous! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the food was so tasty and authentic. Wonderful experience. I'll certainly be back, thank you x”

“Amazing food almost order food every day there.”

“Thank you Jordan!! Amazing experience (service and food) at ASK Bournemouth! ..... My friend and I were unable to see the movie we wanted at the BH2 Odeon cinema, so we went to Ask Italian at the BH2 centre for food instead. Despite being very busy they were able to fit us in and for that we are so grateful to the man who got us a table. Sadly, we didn't get his name, but he was so accommodating and friendly. The manager of the restaurant was also so helpful and made us feel so welcome, but it was our server Jordan who really stole the show! I own a private medical clinic so I am always very aware of the service I receive and all I can say is that we were blown away by Jordan’s helpfulness and manner, he was so attentive and despite us not intending to have a dessert because we were full, Jordan’s upselling skills were brilliant as he introduced us to the smaller dessert with a coffee option which was perfect. On a very busy evening the whole team were efficient and welcoming and service was fast and the food was absolutely delicious (thank you Chef too!). A great evening was had and, to the whole team (and especially Jordan!) we are so very grateful! We will be back! Thank you so much!”

“Amazing value. Casual Chinese cafe. Packing good heat in their dishes. Huge variety and also authentic dishes and taste. Wish we had one of these where I live! (3hrs away).”

“Went in for my partners birthday, took him for food and drinks and it was fab! Great service, great drinks and recommendations. Was still very quiet when we were in there, I think we were 1 of 3 tables sat down but atmosphere was still good and waiters very friendly! Deffo recommend!”

“The food I had at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. In particular, the lentil soup and maklube exceeded my expectations in both taste and presentation. I have celiac disease and follow a strict gluten-free diet, but I experienced no cross-contamination or health issues here, which shows their attention to hygiene and dietary needs. The portions were very generous and satisfying. I especially recommend this place to those with celiac disease or any food intolerances—just make sure to inform the staff about your allergies or dietary requirements in advance. The restaurant itself has a modest, casual atmosphere. The tables and chairs are fairly standard, but it wouldn’t be reasonable to expect luxury furnishings from a place like this. The focus is clearly on flavor, and in that regard, it truly delivers. Overall, I would definitely return for the incredible food. #celiacdiases #glutenfree #dairyfree #celiac #celiacuk”

“Lovely experience at Shark Tail Sushi! The food was fresh and delicious, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff were genuinely polite and welcoming, making the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. Booking a table was super easy, and we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. Prices were fair and reflected the quality perfectly. Definitely a place I’ll return to. I highly recommend!”

“Small elegant fine dining place. Authentic, delicious Thai food with a reasonable spread. Nice place for family dining and to give a decent treat to friends. Reasonable prices and worth for what you spend. You can choose a glass of wine of your choice and can have a chilling Saturday night .. ❤️”

“i won’t order indian takeaway from anywhere else now, consistently good food, tasty & fresh”

“I've been living in the area for close to 7 months now, and have been here about 10 times during my time here. I've gone to collect my takeaway tonight and upon return home I feel compelled to write this review. I've been reminded, not only how great the food is, but how lovely the family are who run the place. If you like authentic, fresh home cooked, good Thai, this is the place! A must try!”

“Very friendly man running the restaurant and cooking the food, very courteous and apologetic for a slight wait… we didn’t wait long at all and he had only just opened! We both went for Bento Box 2 which included: Rice, Bulgogi Beef or Chilli Pork (I had pork my husband had beef), 2 Tempura Prawns, 2 Fried Dumplings, 2 Spring Rolls, 2 Chicken Skewers and a portion of chilli chicken balls each. The food arrived nicely presented and looked great… it tasted fab! Everything was so full of flavour, cooked wonderfully and the meat was nice and tender. We thoroughly enjoyed everything and were so full afterwards. All for a really good price too! Rice Bar Totoro is on our list of places to return to soon, we want to try the rest of the great looking menu!”

“Visited from Sheffield, it actually is one of the best restaurants i have visited for Kurdish food in UK so far, food is fresh and also taste is amazing and light. Also staff is very welcoming.”

“I have had a dinner with my family recently. The food was more than expected. Maybe I don’t know the size so I ordered L size drink for each member. Which my daughter cannot drink all. The food is tasty. Will revisit again if I travel nearby again.”

“Lovely place. The food was lovely. The staff genuinely really nice & seemed to love their job. A little wait for food but expected on a Saturday night.”
