Leilamezze Lebanese Eatery Shisha Garden

The staff at this restaurant were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We were seated quickly despite the place being busy, and the staff was very accommodating. The menu offered a wide range of options, and we chose our meals swiftly since we had a reservation for an hour and a half later, which worked out perfectly for us. I ordered the chicken shish, while my partner opted for the lamb, and both dishes were delicious. We will definitely return during our next visit to Portsmouth!

We dined at Leilamezze for the first time last week. As a former cook, I always find it challenging not to be critical while eating out, but I honestly couldn't find a fault. Every dish was delicious, featuring generous portions of beautifully prepared and well-seasoned Lebanese cuisine. The service was fantastic—attentive and insightful, with excellent recommendations that ensured we had everything we needed. We even took home some delightful leftovers, which were just as amazing the next day! We can't wait to return. Thank you, Leilamezze, for a wonderful meal!

I really enjoy her garlic sauce; it's so fresh. You can never go wrong with her shish taouk. It's a great culinary experience. There aren't many halal restaurant options around Portsmouth, and this is probably the best one.

Excellent eating, beautiful atmosphere and the staff were so friendly! I would definitely recommend to a friend. after, eat and drink, the beautiful waitress showed my friends and I outside the beautiful garden where we were accompanied by lively music, shisha and desserts. I would rate my experience 10/10 and I will definitely return:

First time visiting the city and restaurant. Overnight stay before morning ferry meant a meal out and this was close to the hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming, service was great and quick, generous portions and the food was amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and to return. Thank you.
