Another vote for Lakaz Maman. Tim’s Bistro a few doors down has also regularly served up good food.
Pie Caramba isn’t bad either in the same area.
I’m assuming you are central and not on the fringes by the way.
Curry you could try Namaste Kerala (vegetarian options supposed to be good) or Coriander Lounge
Shanghai 1814 is good for Chinese food and their is both a Chinese menu (which I was introduced to by a former colleague) or an English Chinese menu with the more familiar dishes.
I’m a little out of date with work from home but these were all good pre /between lockdowns depending on when I last went.
A bit out of town to the North Chilworth Arms for posh pub food and to the East there’ll be plenty of good pub food around the Hamble peninsula/Warsash too.
