We ordered cocktails and starter platters. Drinks were really yummy and the platters were huge. We didn't order any mains as the platters were more than enough. But the service was a bit slow.

I recently visited this restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was elegant, the staff was incredibly courteous, and the food was divine. Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavors and presented with artistic flair. The customer service was exceptional, making my evening truly memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. The staff of this restaurant has verbally confirmed halal status.

This is the first time I visited Scene with my husband. The atmosphere of the restaurant was really welcoming and had amazingly intricate interior, very appealing to the eye!! They have a lovely eating area outside too which again is set up well and gives a nice and relaxing vibe. We asked to move table and the staff (Asif) was extremely accommodating and moved us to a lovely enclosed area, decorated fabulously with flowers and drapes which was perfect as we had come out for our anniversary. (Staff being unaware of this!) Also received a yummy dessert on the house after the meal. All staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience. Food was fantastic alot of effort given to presentation and equally amazing flavours. Had an amazing experience, will definitely be going back. Thankyou to Asif especially for making our meal one to remember. He is an asset to this establishment!

This restaurant is amazing. The food is so good, tasty and plenty to choose from. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. We were given a choice of either sitting outside or inside. If you go, you should definitely try a mocktail. I had the pina colada because I was driving, and it tastes amazing. I shared the thali, and there was so much food, I had to take it home. The price is very reasonable. I will definitely go againParking: There is an NCP parking right opposite the restaurant. They had plenty of spaces.

Very happy with my visit here today great service from staff, the decor was great and the food even better.Great variety of food and they cater for almost everyone. Great selection of beverages and desserts.Not very expensive either bill for 2 was less than £50, overall I would definitely recommend if your visiting Manchester, great experience in itself I will definitely return in the future when going Manchester.Vegetarian options: Great selection of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: All staff interacting with my son, and we're very friendly accommodating my family even if my son was being a little annoying.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Scene Indian Kitchen and opted for their Grand Thali for 2. I must say, it was a satisfying and delightful experience that left me impressed with both the quality and variety of the food.The Grand Thali for 2 was a great choice, especially for someone like me who finds it hard to make decisions when it comes to choosing dishes. This thali offered a bit of everything, providing a well-rounded and diverse meal. It's the perfect option for those who want to sample a variety of flavors and dishes without having to make multiple choices.The portion size was quite decent and left me feeling content. It's clear that the restaurant values quality and quantity, ensuring that customers get their money's worth. The selection of dishes included in the thali was impressive, offering a range of flavors and textures that showcased the depth of Indian cuisine.Overall, the dining experience at Scene Indian Kitchen was enjoyable. The service was attentive and the ambiance added to the overall appeal of the restaurant. If you're looking for a satisfying meal that offers a taste of different Indian flavors and dishes, the Grand Thali for 2 is a great option to consider. It's a perfect choice for both indecisive diners and anyone seeking a diverse and filling dining experience.

It's the service. The staff are so rude especially the man taking care of the shisha outdoors. It ruins everything.

Let's get the good stuff out of the way first. Scene looks lovely, Hindi movie posters, real street food vibe. But that's as good as it gets. Let's go through just what a letdown Scene is. First, we get stale popaddums; this is not a good start as an introduction to your dining experience, oh dear. Also getting served was quite a chore. We waited quite a while for drinks to be served (should be the first thing offered as you sit down) and had to actually get up from our table to order something. Exceptionally poor. We went on a Friday evening, but Scene is so big, it takes a lot of people to fill it up. So without a full house, or even a quarter full house, you are left feeling adrift in an echoey, empty room. They need to screen parts off until they fill, then open up each other part as more customers arrive. When you're in a room set for 100 people and there are 12 of you, once again it doesn't make for a good feeling. Then there's the music...So Scene are promoting a street food vibe but each time we've been (and this was the last) they play endless 90s r'n'b. Nothing wrong with that, but not in a restaurant that's promoting its desi credentials. It's like going to a Japanese restaurant and they're playing spaghetti western film soundtracks. Hardly helps the ambience. Finally, the portions and the prices; delicious, yes, but tiny portions, overpriced. Their vegetable side dishes cost the same as most other restaurants' main veg dishes. My king prawn karahi was way over the usual prices elsewhere and again, a tiny portion. But if you're happy with bad service, overpriced portions and endless 90s r'n'b on a loop, then you'll be in heaven. Somewhere in Scene there's the possibility of a great restaurant, but these basic errors let it down. And if they change one thing, please, change their tune, quite literally. Desi street food needs the correct musical ambience and Brandy & Monica, wonderful though they are, isn't the soundtrack. So come on, set the scene, Scene.

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.Kid-friendliness: Great service and always keeping an eye.

Poor service and bland tasteless food. Think this place is highly over rated and overpriced Will not be returning any time soon!
This place is where i'd celebrated my birthday and one of the indian resturants that are more unique, The food like the dosa were one of the most tasty foods i have ever had. The mocktails such as the strawberry daiquiri, virgin mojito mint and passionfruit were slightly costly.This place is also very clean

I came across this place on instagram and it looked so lovely, like the SCENE! However it’s not all what it advertises I’m very disappointed. The staff are rude they don’t even come over when it’s not even busy. The food it’s self bland tasteless and stale! We ordered chicken tikka as a starter and it was rock hard. Ordered dosa the filling was like it had hard lentils in. Paid £60 for 1 side dish 2 starters 1 dosa popadoms salad tray naan and chips overly priced rubbish food! We won’t be coming back at all!

Went with a group of 11 friends on a busy Saturday evening. Very large and busy restaurant but this did not stop excellent service and the food was delicious. We had the £35 set menu and everything was beautifully presented and so tasty. The lamb korai was especially delicious and I can still remember it now.
