Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious food and reasonably priced. A no frills restaurant with authentic cuisine. We came here at 6pm and had a lovely meal. We shared two mains from the specials part of the menu. One was a tasty lamb stew and the other a mixed vegetarian dish ( I think it was number 53 and 56 on the menu!) both served with rice. We were given a small starter dish of delicious olives and a homemade chilli sauce with warm flat bread. We also were given a couple of pieces of Turkish delight as we paid the bill which came to less than £30. Efficient service and you can watch the chef at work using the grill. As we left it was filling up with regular customers. Highly recommended.

Ventured here on the 27/1/23 for my bro in laws birthday.
Th decor is basic, and it's not exactly authentic but you can overlook these things if the food is good.
We had a mixed hit and cold meze and mixed kebab each and pleased to say it was Very good. Not over garlicky, and had a great bbq taste to the meat.
The hot and cold meze were good and tasty, though I found it odd that there was a lack of bread which had to be asked for.
Stafff were very pleasant and the price was great. All in Inc bottle of wine and 6 beers we were lookinf at £113 for the 4 of us so just under £30 a head.
Would deffo go back!

We ate here last night and the service and food was excellent . Our meals were freshly cooked and as we waited we had delicious humus and flatbread with a chilli based salsa. The wine was reasonably priced and good too .

Visited last night whilst in Portsmouth to visit family. Managed to get a table despite not having booked, something I think you should do as it’s only small and obviously very popular.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere very nice.
The food is fantastic. Freshly cooked and very tasty. The Calamari starter tasted better and fresher than the Calamari we had on a recent trip to Rhodes. I had Incuk, lamb shank slow roasted served with roasted veg and a creamy sauce. It was so well done, a knife was needed.
Will definitely return and would highly recommend

We visited this restaurant for the first time at the weekend, after finding it through an Internet search, as we wanted to eat before going to the theatre. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is very clean and simple. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The menu offers so much choice and they were also willing to adapt it to suit my dietary requests. We enjoyed hot starters and a main course each. The meals came out in good time, hot and were delicious. When we are back in town again, we will certainly be coming back. Thank you so much for a lovely meal.

We had an absolutely delicious meal and wonderful experience here. As soon as we entered we were greeted by very friendly staff. We were sat down at our table and not gonna lie the atmosphere was bustling as there was lots of diners from all walks of life enjoying their dinners. I’m glad we booked in advance! My food was actually not what I ordered but this was very swiftly resolved! My boyfriend had only eaten 1 rib by the time my corrected meal was in front of me. I think our server was having her first ever shift so please if you are reading this know that you handled the situation perfectly! First shifts are always awful so keep persevering! Overall our meal here was 10/10. Food was absolutely outstanding. The rice was THE BEST rice I have ever eaten - I could eat bowls of it I think. Thank you to the polite staff for our great Sunday evening.

Wow, I've never had such tasty Turkish food in the UK!
this is quite a small place, so I would recommend booking at the weekend. We were in early at 6pm and by the time we left it was packed. All were welcome here (family, friends, baby) and it was a friendly and comfortable place.
The waitress and chef were both lovely.
I will be back to try more of their menu.
This time we had the shared cold starters and I had a prawn casserole and my sister had the mixed meat platter. It was all great value for money and tasty. 10/10

Small and busy Turkish restaurant. Good choice menu and service attentive and friendly. This is cheaper than other options in Portsmouth but they covers at a compromise on the quality of the food which is not nearly as good as agora or bodrum.

We had a family gathering of 23 people at Nemrut (post July 19th Covid restrictions release) and it was wonderful.
The restaurant opened especially for us mid afternoon, and when we arrived we received a warm reception from everyone working there.
Food was delicious and served quickly (we has emailed our menu choices in advance), and any omissions from our order were quickly rectified so that everyone's meals came out together.
It made for a really nice couple of hours,. With lively food and great company.

Have been a regular here for several years, ever since I was a child and have never been disappointed. Even over the lockdown with the takeaways never missing particularly the fresh grilled food. Our first back was just as good as we remember and our server Ali was particularly helpful in recommending the best dishes and tweaking to our tastes. Would highly recommend for either a cheeky takeaway or a family meal

We were visiting for the weekend and had researched many places to eat out in Southsea. We came across Nemrut a small and cosy restaurant who were more than happy to accomodate our booking. The portion sizes were generous, very flavourful and well priced. We were not rushed and were allowed to enjoy our starters and then mains in succession. We will 100% be returning when we visit again.

Had a work leaving get together. Not eaten here’s before. Was made to feel welcome with friendly staff. Was given a pink rose when arrived which was a nice touch.
The food was very nice, could of done with a little more rice with the dish as i had a lot of sauce with little rice. Apart from that, I would recommend trying this place.

The decor is simple but the atmosphere was great and the food delicious. Very friendly, happy front of house staff. You are able to watch meat being cooked on a proper charcoal grill at the front of the restaurant. We had the mixed meze, followed by mixed grill (hubby) and a delicious dish called babanos for me. Couldn't resist the baklava, but ended up taking most of it home as we were so full. A lovely couple of hours!

Very nice genuine authentic Turkish food in the heart of Albert St, Portsmouth. Excellent food and service all round. Mouthwatering dishes which reminded me of Turkey. The staff are extremely friendly (especially Ali) and they go the extra mile to make sure your experience at Nemrut is perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all locals and visitors from outside of the city! 5 stars all round!
