    Walked passed this restaurant so many times. It's a nice place with great ground's and a nice setting. So for my last night I took my Gambian lady there. It was a small treat for her. We both enjoyed the evening. The staff very friendly and the food was good. Hope to return there when things settle down.

    We heard a lot about this restaurant so decided to ho there. We were given a table and there were already a lot of people. The wine we order was good... got a small amuse which taste nice and some bread and butter on the house. We order our meal which was very good. Staff was polite but distant. You can really see who is a regular and who is a new person in the way you are served. Meat was tender and well prepared. Dessert was nice...I would have given them 4 stars but I ended up with 3 during to the fact they say they welcome Visa card but it was not working anymore... they should have said this when we entered... now I had to find a way to pay the restaurant... you feel very awkward.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious food, good menu many tasty dishes and desserts. Sit in the side street of the big strip. Definitely worth a walk. (Original) Heerlijk gegeten, goede kaart veel lekkere gerechten en toetjes. Zit in de zijstraat van de grote strip. Zeker de moeite waard om even heen te lopen.

    Fantastic place in Gambia

  • 2/5 Karsten S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Certainly a nice restaurant with a beautiful garden and chicer decor, the staff is friendly and everything looks clean. But that should be standard. I think the restaurant is rated a bit high. The described by some other reviewers, German food I did not recognize. 3 weeks ago, I was with friends and no one was really satisfied with his food. Sometimes the side dishes did not have the right cooking point, some were only lukewarm. The steak was not as fried as ordered. All in all, the price / performance ratio is not right for me. (Original) Sicherlich ein nettes Restaurant mit schönem Garten und chicer Einrichtung, das Personal ist freundlich und alles wirkt sauber. Aber das sollte ja eigentlich Standarte sein. Ich denke, das Restaurant ist hier etwas hoch bewertet. Das von einigen anderen Bewertern beschriebene , deutsche Essen habe ich nicht erkannt. Vor 3 Wochen war ich mit Freunden vor Ort und keiner war mit seinem Essen wirklich zufrieden. Mal hatten die Beilagen nicht den richtigen Garpunkt, einige waren nur lauwarm. Das Steak war nicht so gebraten wie bestellt. Alles in allem stimmt für mich das Preis / Leistungsverhältnis nicht.

    (Translated by Google) Romantic really very beautiful. Waiters also nicely dressed. Very attentive too Todat a blonde lady arrived who got Al zn attention and I had to make an effort to get my order. If you stay too long you will be looked away. The food was delicious and so was the ambiance (Original) Romantisch echt heel mooi. Obers ook mooi gekleed. Heel attent ook Todat een blonde dame arriveerde die Al zn aandacht kreeg en ik moeite moest doen mijn bestelling te krijgen. Als je te lang blijft wordt je weggekeken. Het eten was verrukkelijk net als de ambiance

    We made our reservation for the special barbecue Sunday and what a treat! The barbecued meat and fish was simple but delicious. But, wow, all the side-dishes! Really excellent! Staff was also excellent and very friendly. All in all, we recommend it without a doubt.

Definitely recommend the barbecue evening on Sunday. (Original) Nach meinen Erfahrungen wohl eines der besten Restaurants hier in der Nähe von Senegambia.

  • 5/5 Donna B. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is probably one of the best places i have ever had the pleasure to eat steak. I had the Chateaubriand and seriously it cut like butter. The head chef was always coming out to see if we were ok. Definitely visit this place. Thank you for such brilliant food.

  • 4/5 Mike Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area. Dinner lovely and very fairly priced. Great service too.

  • 5/5 Alan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Booking is essential as it's so popular. You soon find out why! The food is excellent with decent sized portions and little extra touches that set this place apart. You would expect prices to be a little higher than average but are actually very reasonable and the quality makes it worthwhile. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Mark K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best restaurant in Gambia, everything is done properly. Service is spot on, food is great, huge choice of options on the menu & in peak season there is a bar-B-Q/buffet eat as much as you like night on Thursday & all cooked while you watch & wait with loads of add-on's/sides. Great place not to be missed.

  • 5/5 Laura B. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited Scala many times when holidaying in The Gambia and it never disappoints. Food is always incredible with fantastic waiting staff. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. We always make sure we have the chateaubriand at least once when visiting and oh my word it's always so good. The owner always checks your okay and had a good meal. If in The Gambia I highly recommend you visit.

    Very nice atmosphere outdoors. Well presented and attentive waiters. Good food. Would have loved to see Gambian Dishes on the menu. Even with a European twist/presentation. I'd give 5* for that.

    (Translated by Google) On Sunday evening they organize a barbecue 19-21.30 you need to reserve a table otherwise you can forget about the free space. On the grill you can eat shrimp, fish, beef, chicken and pork with a very large selection of toppings (salads vegetables sauces). The price may seem high (675 dalasi) but the possibility of repeated additions of what we like the most allows us to forget about it lightly 😀 we liked it, the service is great I can recommend. (Original) W niedzielę wieczorem organizują grill 19-21.30 trzeba rezerwować stolik inaczej można zapomnieć o wolnym miejscu. Z grilla można zjeść krewetki, rybę, wołowinę,kurczaka i wieprzowinę do tego bardzo duży wybór dodatków (sałatki warzywa sosy). Cena może wydaje się wysoką (675 dalasi) ale możliwość wielokrotnych dokładek tego co nam najbardziej smakuje pozwala o niej lekko zapomnieć 😀 nam smakowało, obsługa super także mogę polecić.

    (Translated by Google) Danish chef and really good food .. in the picture you see butterfish with fried banana and cashew nuts and cheese sauce .. a surprisingly good combination 👌🏻 good service and cozy place where the chef himself cow more regularly and checking their guests. however, the coffee is a disappointment! (Original) dansk kock och riktigt god mat.. på bilden ser ni butterfish med stekt banan och cashewnötter och ostsås.. en förvånansvärt god kombination 👌🏻 bra service och mysigt ställe där kocken själv ko mer ut med jämna mellanrum och checkar sina gäster. kaffet är dock en besvikelse!

    (Translated by Google) Super tasty food. Good value for money. (good wine chenin blanc) Nice that the owner comes to the table for a chat. We also found the Tao (Thai) very tasty. This is a new restaurant which the owner has set up. (Original) Super lekker eten. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. (goede wijn chenin blanc) Leuk dat eigenaresse even aan tafel komt om een praatje te maken. Wij vonden de Tao (Thais) ook erg lekker. Dit is een nieuw restaurant wat de eigenaar heeft opgezet.

    Some food not cooked correctly and not the best quantity and a very arrogant chef, well below what we have had in the past

  • 5/5 ton en p. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Top restaurant. We have been coming there for 7 years. Slightly more expensive than a standard Gambian restaurant, but compared to the prices in the Netherlands cheap, and the food and service there is top. (Original) Top restaurant. We komen er al 7 jaar. Iets duurder dan een standaard gambiaans restaurant, maar vergeleken met de prijzen in Nederland goedkoop, en het eten en bediening is er top.
