Steak Inn — Restaurant in Scotland

Only worth going if you don’t mind waiting a painfully long time to be seated and served. I have been here around 3 times and unfortunately will not be returning.

Timing and efficiency is super painful! Over half an hour to be seated. Each of the three times we came here we had booked a table in advance but had to wait 30-45 minutes to be seated. I took a note of timings: 42 mins late to seat us at a table 7.30 booking ; 8.12 seated; Order taken at 8.19: waiter was friendly We received drinks at 8.39 Food was served at 8.49 (this is over an hour after our booking! 9pm check if food is ok- and ordered another set of drinks

Quality of food vs value for money the lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and packed with flavour - so quite tasty. However the portions seemed significantly smaller yet more expensive than our last visit. We can blame the cost of living crisis for this one. not enough peri salt on chips but they happily provided more chicken steak was meh lamb steak was fine but ‘a bit of a bump’ -small bottles of Coke and fizzy drinks are sitting at over £3.25.

Ambience the restaurant was overcrowded and we felt very claustrophobic with so many people packed in the waiting area (this wouldn’t be as much of an issue if the wait wasn’t so long). the waiters are generally friendly, polite and quite helpful. you can however see the difference in customer service with a lot of tables overlooked a select couple given extra special attention. we didn’t have much engagement with our waiters who seemed swept off their feet and we didn’t have the same one from start to finish. One was quite grumpy with us by the end of the night.

Overall recommendation. Would suggest you save your money and your time and go elsewhere.

For us the wait and service + value for money is not quite worth the slightly above average (and seemingly increasingly stingy) food which in itself earned the single star.

P.S trip 2 which put us off going there for over a year was caused by finding a meat bone in the House slaw (very confusing, gross and SO many questions).

We have now resolved again to...

As a Londoner who was on vacation, our friends suggested we all went and tried on this newish steak house joint (which btw has a dessert lounge attached next to it).

As with any good restaurant worth visiting, the place was heaving and the atmosphere was a lovely mix and folk - families, couples and friends enjoying a convivial night out. Booking a table in advance is a challenge and it’s something as part of their teething problems the management need to sort out.

Fit out the joint is good, nice clean set up and has that sort of Texan steak feel about it - think of the Wild West with a twist of modernity and you’re there!

The food - well we were a group of 11 - mix of kids, young teens and adults. We ordered a variety of food - steaks, burgers and even dynamite prawns ! The quality of the T-Bone steak I ate was right up there with the best of them; cooked to how I like it and served with some lovely creamy mash and house slaw - creamy colseslaw to you and me.

The prices are going steak house prices you would find in London but to be honest you pay for what you get and so if you want a really good halal steak meal then frankly it’s a no brainier.

Atif the manager is conscientious (even if he didn’t quite adhere to my arrangements for paying the bill - he knows what I mean) and the chief - Shahid is a very unassuming computer science nerd with a very good eye for detail and interior design! A friendly group of staff and always ready to help or assist.

The ‘What the Fudge’ ice cream and dessert parlour is next door and is associated with the steak inn theme of service and quality. Not personally keen on the name of the place but they do a great range of desserts including the classic falouda amongst the usual arrange of sweet teeth delights.

Overall, would revisit this steak joint again and again - great to see young entrepreneurs establish such a great...

I recently visited Steak-In for a dinner with my partner and had a terrible experience. I have to say that the restaurant was a huge letdown in multiple aspects.

To begin with, we ordered lamb steak which turned out to be just average in taste. Poor taste of rice and pasta. However, the presentation of the food was different, like attention to detail, which is isn’t important overall if the food itself is in poor taste.

Adding to our disappointment, we were not informed about the cash-only policy of the restaurant when we made our phone booking. This created a lot of inconvenience and we had to go out of our way to arrange cash for the meal. Moreover, there was no parking available, which was a major issue for us. We had to park far away and walk all the way to the restaurant, which was quite frustrating.

Furthermore, the seating arrangements were so crowded that the staff could barely move properly. It felt like we were sitting on top of each other and it was a major distraction throughout our meal. We couldn't even enjoy our food properly because of the constant commotion around us.

My final words would be Steak-In was a huge disappointment and I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food was just okay, the cash-only policy was inconvenient, and the lack of parking and crowded seating arrangements made for an unpleasant evening. It seemed like an overrated restaurant, and I question the authenticity of the reviews. I would never visit this restaurant again, even...
