• Greek • Southsea
Steki has been offering a taste of Greece in Portsmouth since 1998. Eight years later, another Steki restaurant opened in Brighton, but this one on Portsmouth’s Osbourne Road still continues to serve time-honoured Greek dishes made from recipes and ingredients that the Steki team, and indeed the Portsmouth locals, swear by. Traditional Greek dishes like stifado and moussaka are not to be missed, while the seafood and BBQ specials are packed with flavour and so tender you’ll barely need to chew. Steki Authentic Greek Cuisine is extremely popular and a very relaxing place to dine, hence you’ll need to reserve a table in advance.

    We had a fantastic experience here, celebrating with friends before Christmas. The staff were incredibly friendly, always quick and ready to help, checking in regularly to ensure everything met our standards. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely value for money, and the mint chocolate at the end was a lovely touch. The room was nicely decorated with music in the background that was not too loud we couldn’t hear each other, but not too quiet we couldn’t hear the songs. This was our first time at the restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will definitely be coming back again in the new year!

    Great place to eat! The food is very tasty and every dish was delicious. The staff always ask if you have any allergies. We were seated near the window and we had a great view towards the marina.
