“Homemade ice cream- unique and delicious flavors! Great customer service“

“oh wow... what a find! We were looking for a seafood restaurant when passing thru the area and the name caught our attention. We had an amazing dinner! We both chose the seafood fettuccine, which was heavenly - incredible pasta and sauce topped with succulent seafood. Desserts were lavender creme brulee and white chocolate cake...Holy cow! Dinner and service were both top-notch.. and we can't wait to return!“

“Levi was our server and he was incredible, on the ball, and funny, dinner was absolutely delicious and we’ll absolutely be back, I suggest to Umami roll, my partner got the buttermilk chicken, it was “outstanding”, the head chef Jeff is wildly talented and dinner was 10/10“

“I’m from the Boston area and was meeting a friend in Portsmouth for dinner. We picked Durbar Square and we’re definitely not disappointed. We had an absolutely fabulous meal there. The chicken chili was a delicious, and a different approach than any chili I’ve had before. The chicken was perfect cooked. The sauce was full of flavor. They also ask you to pick yours spice range from 1-10 so you can choose what suits you best. The owner, John, is totally engaged with his customers and if you want, can even demonstrate a yoga pose or 2 (which he is very good at). Just overall a great place to eat.“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had! Fresh ingredients made with love,and the chick pea salad?!OUTSTANDING. I will for sure be back.“

“Been going here for years, never had a bad meal.“

“Best ramen I’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful as well.“

“Love these! And I can order anything on the menu without worrying about my allergies! Made a great Easter day trip out of it stopping here before visiting a nearby Fort and a beach walk. I tried to order online at 5am the same day but it would only let me choose the next day, so we made it there early (being a few hours away) and they had all their flavors (even the special holiday ones) stacked and ready to go!! My favorite has been the Pumpkin Spice Latte brioche donut this past fall season. (I am a frosting lover.) I love the Kittery location with its own parking lot and building. Even got some donuts for my pup with a sweet tooth to try! He also highly recommends!!! Well worth the drive no matter how far away you are!“

“The food is out of this world good!!!!“

“Last night was truly a one of a kind experience for my husband and I. From the moment we walked into the door, being greeted so warmly by the owner. Throughout our meal the staff was genuine and kind with helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary. Making us both feel truly special. I have never experienced this level of top notch service in a restaurant in my life. Thank you for a wonderful night and experience, Tonya C“

“The pizza was great. I loved every bite of it. It was made more healthily. Our server Kelly was catering to our needs quickly.“

“I love this place. Everyone is just so friendly and warm. It's so nice to be in a place that remembers that I am your consumer. I'm consuming your thaichovski with a little chocolate and a shot (no rum though, weak!)....But I'm also consuming your smiles, your good energy and your kindness. Thanks for keeping me going all day! See you tomm! Love, Wonderwoman“

“It’s 12 hours from my home and I’ve taken a trip with exclusive plans to stop here to get a burger.

Backstory, wife and I were taking a trip up the East coast to Acadia.

Stopped here. It was the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.

So when we planned another east coast trip we literally went out of our way to have this place on our list.“

“Very delicious and convenient located. The staff were very friendly and the food tasted very fresh!“

“Stopped in for our first time to grab some lunch, and wow! Absolutely delicious!!! We got the chicken salad and the Italian and both were the freshest tasting sandwiches we’ve had in a long time! I was so excited to see that they use boars head for their meat and it comes with a generous portion to say the least!! We are hooked!! The owners are very nice and transformed this spot beautifully! I can’t forget to mention that I had to grab the Shain’s of Maine cookie dough ice cream as a family favorite treat!! If you’re in the area definitely make a stop in!! I can’t wait to try more of their menu and the soups they have to offer!! 🙌🏼 10/10!“

“Amazing first time visit to the Portsmouth NH location…from the the decor…to the scrumptious meals we had, Chicken Cordon Blue Benny and an Omelet with a heaping side plate of various meats( sausage,bacon and ham) and not to mention bottomless coffee refills……however what stood out the most was our server Emma ! Emma - has a unique talent for making you feel like you are the most important person in the room, even as she was juggling all her tables. Emma is the kind of server who can tell you a great story and refill your coffee at the same time. Emma -thank you for making our visit so enjoyable..we will be back! But wait….first we have to try the corn beef(outstanding!) hash before we hit the road!! 😊“

“I have lived in NYC, Boston and Portsmouth surrounded by some of the best cuisines of every form. I have to say this is by far the best indian cuisine I have ever had. Raj the owner personally served us and told us about his journey from humble beginnings to now one of the top 20 or so indian cuisines in the country. It doesn't take long to taste why. An unassuming restaurant on the outside to an amazing comfortable and authentic interior space to welcome anyone and everyone ready for the mos amazing dining experiences they will have. Even the drinks worth a sip.“

“delicious.. great food. next time we are in the area we will be back“

“Thick crispy bacon, crunchy hash browns and great daily specials - don’t drive past this place when you are in the area. 5 stars.“

“From the moment we were greeted by Ava with her phenomenal personality, to spending time at the bar with Nick, all the way through our meal served by Ethan, this evening was a delight. The food was delicious, the service exemplary, and the staff were personable and professional.“

“I had the beef with peanut sauce served with white rice, that’s one of my favorite dishes that keeps me coming back and it was absolutely delicious! The beef was tender, the peanut sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and it paired perfectly with the rice. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right. The portions were generous, Jackson is alway friendly, polite and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic Thai Food not to mention you will be supporting a small business😊“

“Wonderful service and unique tasty small plates. Great date night spot.“

“Coconut soup is mouthwatering, healthy and delicious!“

“I got my Christmas tree at Emery Farm this year, and it was a great experience! All the trees were really nice and in really good shape, they sell cider donuts you can munch on, they had a cozy campfire going near the tree lot where you can keep warm while you're waiting, everyone is very friendly, and they are giving away a cute wooden ornament with a tree purchase! I wrestled it in my door and onto a stand, with minimal needle loss despite the manhandling. It may not be the cheapest option, but the quality is there and they make the experience worth it. If you are able to support local places instead of big box stores and corporations, it's really a good thing to do and it really does make a difference. It keeps our money in our community instead of the wallet of some big faceless far-off corporation. 🌲💚“

“We went with a group of 7, having made reservations in advance. The food was excellent and service very good. We were able to bring a cake from outside in for a birthday celebration which our server brought to us ready to serve and sing! The Hospitality was excellent along with our dinners. I highly recommend Robert's and we always make it a point to go there whenever we have the chance! My only negative comment is the safety of the staircase to upstairs, railings on both sides are needed, an elevator would be better.“

“Happened upon this place because I was in the area and was hungry for lunch. The food and service were great, and I will be coming back often! Highly recommend!“

“Went this evening with a group of friends on our travels back to Canada from vacation! What a hidden gem. Staff super friendly, service fast and food outstanding. Large portions, delicious desserts! Well worth it! Would highly recommend!“

“On vacation and stopped in to try the local ice cream. Husband and I ordered the 6 scoop banana split. This treat could feed an entire family. Huge portions. Definitely bring an empty stomach and friends and family to enjoy the yumminess.“

“We had the Tuna/yellow rice/black beans with garlic cream, pork, yellow rice, black beans with the bbq and a side of sweet fries. Everything was delicious, the pork broke apart with just a plastic spork. Rice was well cooked and seasoned. Sheet fries were a great sharing size and delicious, not too heavy and well salted. We look forward to coming back.“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“I was planning to go to a different downtown restaurant and walked in to this one as it started raining. The waitress took every effort to ensure our dietary requirements were taken care of. They had quite a few veggie burger options. We picked The Cool Beans, which came with a black bean and corn patty. She was quite transparent with the fact that they used the same fryer and oil for frying meat,veggie appetizers and fries. So, she substituted fries with freshly sliced avocado. The burger itself was thick and juicy. We ordered a PB& Chocolate milkshake that capped out dinner. They went out of the way to limit cross contamination. Will definitely return.“

“Food was amazing and service was very attentive. We had Vindaloo, Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan and Papadam. Everything was fantastic!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good service good food and good drinks❗️“

“Delish !! From start to finish everything was fabulous! From the amazing door that you walked through to the woodwork and the brick and the old Portsmouth feel The food was fabulous. It actually made my taste buds dance! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Staff is top-notch.“

“Stopped in to Kilwins to grab a soda for my diabetic boyfriend who had low blood sugar, they don’t sell loose sodas but were very kind and just gave him one so we really appreciate that! Excellent treats, caramel apple was delicious and they offered to cut it so it was easier to share which I really like, and the fudge is delicious 💖💖 thank you guys next time we are in Portsmouth we will stop in again :)“

“My favorite haunt owners and bartenders are wonderful food and drinks are always fabulous 🥰“

“Most of the soups are good or very good, but some are bland so use the taster cups to find your favorite. Cornbread is excellent. Chicken pot pie is excellent and stuffed with chicken.“

“Smoothies and bowls are awesome. Employees and service are great. Wide variety of healthy menu options, lots of vegan/GF options. Chocolate mousse stands out among the non-smoothie choices.“

“Great food! Ambiance, fun vibes!“
