Candela is a restaurant which makes Moroccan food and steaks, seen that it is a steak house!!…read moreFrankly this restaurant is great! The managers are super kind, the reception is great we are served well. As regards the food, that to say It is excellent!!! Being Moroccan, I am complicated when I go into a restaurant which serves Moroccan dishes,well, it was great!!! Earthenware cooking pots are delicious, we have all the sorts; chicken, beef, fish And for those who do not like the Moroccan cooking, well there is always the eternal steak chips! The beefsteak being cooked on live charcoals in front of you! There is a warm atmosphere, with oriental music, we can even dance!! The boss also plays the darbouka when he has finishes his service! And on Friday and Saturday there is an oriental dancer who comes to put the atmosphere Candela is a restaurant which is convenient for everybody whether it is families, groups and the couples! I deeply recommend it to you!

Amazing food (though the menu is very scaled down from when they first opened!)…read morethe used to have a belly dancer, which the last time I went in had changed to a singer! - both good entertainment (only weekends) a family run business with great friendly service.

Another Albert Road gem!!! I love this place for fantastic Thai food at fantastic prices - I was…read moreactually shocked at how reasonable the bill was when it came to paying. This place is great for groups, couples, friends and I think they do takeaway too which would be a great option. All in all I'd give this two thumbs up!!

Great Thai food in Portsmouth. We had dim sums, spring rolls, chicken wings & chicken satay to…read morestart. Dim sums were a standard dish. For mains we had pork chillies, pad Thai, massaman chicken & chicken & cashew nuts. Actually too hard to rank them as they were all great. Service is friendly but useless but the food is so reasonably priced for the quality that you don't care (that they bring a jug of water but no glasses, or clear plates & cutlery and no replacement cutlery for the next course...). Worth the visit for sure.

We were 4, our friends were going to pay The food wasn't so bad...when it finally arrived...but then we ran into an issue...we asked them to get on with the desserts as now we need to get on ourselves My wife had asked for an afogato...they delivered the coffees before the desserts (why!) and of course there's a fundamental issue with an afogato The waiter was difficult, we should have told him...excuse me...don't you know your own menu?! I had missed the opening exchanges when I popped awa from the table...on learning this on return and it was still going on...it was absolutely, we walk now, give me the bill, minus the desserts...I pay, we leave NOW Unacceptable behaviour from him and he wouldb't let up...eh, no!!! Not amused Meanwhile, a guy came in and asked could he reserve a table for 10 in an hour...the waiter said no...the chap repeated it...and still the answer was no...upon which the customer (because that's what we are...the people paying the bills!!!) unleashed a colourful torrent of abuse...wow, but frankly, probably well deserved Never go there again!!!

Good food and service. No ambiance just a good place for a quick in and out. Not expansive either.read more

I'm writing this review as I have 2 very sick children who attended a family meal at Rancho…read more(thankfully I didn't attend). Out of 33 people who attended a family birthday meal, 29 have come down with severe food poisoning. Lasting over a week & still some suffering from cramps after eating. This was reported by every individual to Portsmouth City council who said they would investigate but decided a phone call was good enough! This business should be shut down! Absolutely disgusting that a business would serve food to people with such a poor hygiene level. On checking they have recently received a 2* rating for hygiene. DO NOT EAT HERE!

I was seated immediately, and it took less than 15 minutes for me to get an order of large fried cod, chips, and mashed peas. The portion size was monumental. The fish was nice and hot, and clearly fresh. They were plentiful, condiments on the table. I would definitely recommend stopping by this place if you are in Portsmith. I am visiting from Los Angeles, and, although I am by no means a fish and chips connoisseur, I have had my fair share! This gets to thumbs up!

Really nice chips. Batter is on the crispy side. Sausage was really spicy! Also over pricedread more

This area also has some covered sections for less favorable weather. We had the 35-day dry aged ribeye steak and the beer can chicken. The steak was perfect and the triple cooked chips were the crispiest I've had. The chicken however was a bit dry, but not bad with the included bbq sauce. Definitely worth checking out if you're hungry and need a bite to eat with a drink.
