Serendib

We're in Ellsworth, visiting Maine from Savannah, Ga. One of the best Indian restaurants we've been to anywhere! We got the lunch special, Foraged Mushroom soup, Mulligatawny soup, Naan with chutneys and a chickpea curry. Really delicious, all of it!

We have been to Serendib in Ellsworth twice and have taken out about three times in addition.

Each experience has been outstanding in all aspects, atmosphere, service, and food. The flavors are tremendously compelling, familiar in style and yet totally unique from other south asian cuisine we have had.

In all cases we have started with the sour fish curry over rice and I believe you will be missing out if you don't do likewise. Bright, savoury, and outright delicious, this is a dish that should not be passed by.

Also noteworthy is the mixed rice, served with beef, chicken, mushroom, or eggplant. I chose the eggplant and will now not be content until I have tried all versions of this dish.

Perhaps this review is premature. I will not be satisfied until I have tried all that Serendib has to offer ... And then it will be time to start from the beginning again.

If you are in Ellsworth, Serendib is a MUST.

This food is AMAZING. Literally have no words. We went here for apps and ended up eating the chutneys straight w spoons after the naan was gone. Such a gem- the perfect spot for any foodie.

Wonderful spot for vegan and gluten-free dining. All the staff is so friendly and accommodating, making me feel confident in what I’m ordering and knowing that if I have a dietary specification they will help. We went a number of times in the winter when it was take-out only and recently dined in for lunch. Delicious and unique food with similarities to typical Indian restaurants but more veggies and originality which I love. We ate with someone who couldn’t have garlic and they were able to omit which was amazing.
