Visited SEN for a birthday dinner and it did not disappoint. It is a small and cosy restaurant that is quite popular, so I would highly recommend to book in advance. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We had ordered a variety of dishes but a special mention for the salt & pepper squid with the special seasoning, delicious! They have a vegan menu too which was a bonus. The only downside was that we were not able to try any desserts cause we were so full but will definitely be back! Highly recommend this place.

The dinner which I had tonight was without a doubt one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. The calamari was the best I’ve ever had and the rest of the food was sensational. The waiting staff were an absolute credit to the place. Attentive, polite, welcoming and always accommodating to extra orders. This is a top place and if you are in Edinburgh it is a must visit.

I found Sen to be one of the most intimate and delicious meals during my stay in Edinburgh. This hole-in-the-wall modern dining experience provides the next level of all your favorite south East Asian dishes. The Salt and Pepper Squid stood out, and the duck curry was melt in your mouth goodness. Make sure to have a reservation, as this place fills up quick!

Very delicious food that was priced appropriately and the wait staff were also attentive and helpful. It had a sleek and modern atmosphere and also quiet, so I could actually hear my friend talk! Unfortunately it tends to get busy during peak hours, so you might want to make a booking or eat earlier!
