“ Location by the water and in amongst other restaurants is perfect, large outdoor areas front and back. Decor and ambience is spot on. The menu is huge and everything I ordered tasted great. For some the food could be on the spicy side as there is a lot of fresh chilli on many dishes so just ask for less or more Even the dessert was surprisingly good ”
“ Lovely high end Indian cuisine. The Lamb was mouthwatering and oozing with flavours. Highly recommend the grilled meat for two, it was delicious and the masala chips was to die for. The decor and atmosphere was fantastic and the waiters did a great job. Overall a brilliant experience and eating fantastic food. In addition I asked and they surprised my mrs with a lovely little Birthday desert. ”
“ Liked the decorations and especially the booth tables. We were a family of 5 and originally were sat right near the entrance which had a big draft coming through and felt uncomfortable but then were moved to a couched booth further inside the restaurant by the staff (we didn't ask-they asked us to move) This definitely made a huge difference as the booth tables feel so much more comfortable, homely, intimate and creates an authentic feel to the place. The food was nice, I wouldn't say it was anything special. I do think the food is overpriced for what it actually is, there are plenty more cheaper Indian restaurants where the food is a lot better but the seating and decoration is what makes the place special. If we weren't moved to the enclosed couched seating area I probably would have felt a lot more negative about our experience and felt the food wasn't worth as much as we paid PROS: - Couched seating area - Nice food - Liked the decor around the bar area CONS: - Overpriced - Food was nice but special enough to justify the price ”
“ Beautiful place - enjoyed my first experience at Scene. Service, Quality of food and decor was 10/10. A quick prompt service also the waiters were ever so lovely and got us whatever additional things we may have required. To top it off the weather was beautiful so it was nice eating outdoor. Everything was delicious - couldn’t fault it. Thank you guys for a great service. ”
“ Atmosphere and interior is amazing. Service is good and the wait for food isn't long. Only came here for a quick lunch with little appetite, but it was definitely worth it! Food was nice, seasoned very well and dishes are authentic. The menu is quite pricey so if you come here make it a big evening meal/late lunch. Seating by the canal outside is lovely in this weather, shisha and tea is also served at the entrance area but there is a shisha-free zone for food. Highly recommend and will be visiting again with an empty stomach! ”
“ Scene MCR has usually been a good experience for me in the past. Visited this week but I felt it was very average. The Pani Puri was quite nice however the Sultan Puri roll which is usually a hit was very dry and rubbery on this occasion. The Bombay lollipop drumstick chicken was quite overcooked which made it difficult to eat. Lastly, the main dish recommended to me by the waiter was special Handi Gosht which looked very good. In terms of taste and actual texture, the meat was quite crumbly and didn’t taste like fresh meat at all. Was quite disappointed with the mains if I’m being honest. On the plus side of things, the service was pretty good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. ”
“ We ordered the grand thali for 2 between 4 of us girls, and the waiter was like that’s only for two people and we were like yes we know but it will be enough and we might order extras on the side later if needed. He said he’ll have to check with the chef if they can do that, but we all found it weird how they were pushing us to order more food when we were telling him we don’t want any more. We were right it ended up being more than enough for us and we struggled to finish it, so if we had listened to the waiter we would’ve had a lot of leftover food. Overall didn’t like the tone of the waiter and judging our order left us with a bad vibe. Food and drinks were good but probably won’t return because of the service. ”
