Genuinely fantastic flavours, very rich meat and they're generous with cheese and sauce. Very a customisable menu- so don't be afraid to visit if you're worried about spice. Service was very speedy- would definitely go again!

It was my very first time at Fuegos street restaurant, the staffs were very polite as well as welcoming. The food was great, sweet and juicy sweet corn, the potatoes chips were creamy and crispy the added nachos sprinkles was a nice touch. The wrap beef was good also. Great and comfortable atmosphere. Will recommend it to anyone visiting Portsmouth.

Went to have dinner with my family.It was absolutely great experience. Ambience was perfect,it was full of people. We ordered the whole chicken and Tacos with Mexican rice as sides.My kids loved the taste of whole chicken and then we ordered again with grilled halloumi. Meat was so tender and juicy. It made our dine-in experience exceptional.Definitely monies worth. Yamin,the friendly guy helped me to choose the perfect combination of food and Mavvy served us with smile.Brilliant atmosphere and all the staffs are friendly and cordial. I ll definitely come again and recommend friend and family to visit this place for sure.

“Generally a nice place. The food was good, however, I think the pizzas would have been better than our choice (pasta dishes) as they smelled amazing. I would return to try the other food. Service was good, with a friendly hostess.”

“Great service and atmosphere. Food was delightful but slightly dear on prices when comparing to other restaurants of the same calibre. Perfect environment to relax, lots of quaint tables and inside or outside seating, a wood cabin with blankets available and a log fire for when its cold. Great coffee and tea and always flavourful meals. Would recommend trying for a treat”

“Delightful Greek restaurant with lovely decor giving an authentic atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with friendly welcoming smiles from all the staff. The food was outstanding, the tuna steak was the best I've ever had, it was wonderfully tender - cooked to perfection. The moussaka was very delicious, with a very tasty dressed salad. The portion sizes were just right.”
