Chicken wings are great, but note that they are very sharp. We miss the picky vegetables.

The mango lassi was a perfect companion for the spicy curry dishes. Mom's love cake was perfect.

Such a breath of fresh air from the mostly same other menus in the area. When I saw other reviews saying the chicken wings were spicy, I thought “let’s see.” Got to the place and saw lots of brown people. Promising. Those wings were fiery! My husband who loves his food five chili hot was sweating with these! Also had the wild boar dish and asked for it at medium spice. It had amazing flavor and a nice kick. Dessert was also delicious. Best of all, we got to meet the chef who is as kind as he is talented. Seriously worth a detour if you’re in the vicinity.

We visited the area and didn't realize a reservation is needed so we went the next day. Well worth it. Mango lassi and chai teawere perfect .

Each experience has been outstanding in all aspects, atmosphere, service, and food. The flavors are tremendously compelling, familiar in style and yettotally unique from other south asian cuisine we have had. In all cases we have started with the sour fish curry over rice andI believe you will be missing out if you don't do likewise. Bright, savoury, and outright delicious, this is a dish that shouldnot be passed by. Also noteworthy is the mixed rice, served with beef, chicken, mushroom, or eggplant. I chose the eggplant andwill now not be content until I have tried all versions of this dish. Perhaps this review is premature. I will not be satisfieduntil I have tried all that Serendib has to offer ... And then it will be time to start from the beginning again. If you are inEllsworth, Serendib is a MUST.
