Serendib

We hadn't booked, but they were kind enough to squeeze us in even though it was busy. So friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. Such great flavours. Cannot fault this restaurant. Highly recommended!

This should not be a Bib Gourmand. The flavor of the food was good, some dishes better than others, but nothing above average. It is what you would expect at any decent establishment. The service is terrible, that staff is not friendly. Only 2 red wines available. We ordered a bottle and it came already served in the glasses, it was not opened in front of us. We changed one dish quickly after we ordered, 1 min, and we got an attitude from the waiter. Also, when we got the check, the waiter still said “tip?”. Never again we will be coming to this place.

The place has a very nice design. But the food is the most average and bland indian food I tried. Not awful or something, but just not inspiring at all, kind of tasteless.. expansive price for italy. The service was quite rushed. Feels like they have enough visitors so they dont really try. Only the desert was special and very good.

It's an absolute gem of srilankan typical cuisine! I highly recommend this tavern for a great dining experience not to be missed! Each meal has their own distinctive flavour. The asthmosphere brings us to the old times of Ceylon emphasizing the history and culture of Sri Lanka with a great service and friendly staff. Probably it's an excellent spot for Italians and other foreigners to experience the quality and authenticity of Srilankan cuisine blended with ayurvedic spices wich represent our heritage. We will definitely come many more times in the future ✨

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. I still can’t believe how much food I got for the price. It doesn’t make sense but I’m not complaining haha. I did the tasting menu and its extremely fair priced at 30 euro. I really didn’t even expect the amount of food I was served. They start you with a few slices of plain naan bread with 3 different sauces to be immediately followed by a build your own soup station. Then what came next blew my mind. Vegetable rice, pork, lamb, chicken, beef, potatoes, and eggplant. Everything was great with the standout being the beef curry for me. I tried their sri lanken beer which only comes in the big size. They put it on ice like a bottle of wine which was cool. After I literally ate for about an hour straight, I actually had to give up. They had the nerve to give me a dessert platter haha. Still not complaining. Pineapple, cantaloupe, tapioca, and some type of thick munchkin with chocolate sauce. I left there the most full I’ve been in a while. I felt bad not trying to eat as much as I could. They can definitely charge more for this or give less food and I’d still be super happy. Just being honest. Definitely come here if you like indian food and maybe skip the tasting menu if you’re by yourself. It would be great for two people but I’m not sure if they would charge 30 all together or 30 per person. You’d have to go and find out =]

Had a great experience. The food was top notch and the service was up to expectations. I saw the restaurant being published in the 2025 Michelin guide and I must say it did not disappoint. Especially recommend you to try the ‘Happy Hours da guida Michelin’ which is a new addition to to this year’s menu. Overall 5 star experience and I expect to return again. Keep doing the great work!

I’m a Taiwanese and this is my first time trying food from Sri Lanka. We ordered the shrimp salad and two plates of traditional dishes. We love it so much that I must post a review here to show my satisfaction.

It is cheap but far from being gourmand, so their Michelin bib gourmand is misleading. It is average „european“ indian style food and nothing to do with delicious and bold Sri Lanka dishes. Probably they adapted to Italian palate and gradually ended up cooking something completely bland.

(4.5 stars) Lots of thanks to Bib Gourmand for this wonderful, affordable recommendation not too far from the center of the city. I think this was my first Sri Lankan restaurant experience and it didn't disappoint. We ordered a bunch of the Sri Lankan dishes and they were all super flavorable. The chicken, lamb, and beef dishes all had unique preparations and were all very tender. The chicken tikka masala was the only think I didn't really love (just a very different sauce than you'd expect). Honestly the single best bite of the night was the vegetable samosas. Stuffed to the brim, not oily at all, crisp exterior, vivacious interior, and a beautiful golden brown color. Don't leave this restaurant without trying one, or maybe even a dozen...

Host rudely turned us away after showing our foreign covid vaccination card to sit down at the restaurant. Our vaccination card has been accepted in every restaurant across Italy for the last 3 weeks we have been here and is the exact substitute for the Italian green pass. When we tried to explain that to him, he would not accept it and rudely told us we were not allowed to stay. Which as uninformed as that was I get the rules change every day and the times are complicated and weird. But he didn't go ask for help and he wouldn't even listen to that everyone else has accepted this and look at the documentation to show that it is a suitable substitute. Instead he just kicked us out of a completely empty restaurant, which was the other kicker as it wasn't like they were swamped or even had a couple tables to take care of, no one was there and he could have taken the time to become informed and gain two customers. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent experience. Looking for some authentic Indian food, we stumbled across this establishment based on the reviews in yelp and we weren't disappointed. Will come back when in the area.

Amazing food! We came here starved, after checking into our air-bnb nearby. We were not disappointed. Great service, happy hour for free wine, and most importantly, food had so much flavor and depth. All the appetizers and entrees were consistantly delicious. We will definatelyy miss it and recommend anyone who loves Indian food!

This is a gem great food service is awesome and good selection of Indian wine. Do it!

Was staying at Airbnb above the restaurant and decided to give it a try for convenience sake and I was IMMENSELY pleased with my decision. Wait staff was all super attentive, polite, and personable. I ordered a vegetarian dish which came in two parts which was more than enough food, especially for the price. Even though I am only traveling through Milan, if I ever find myself back I will definitely make a return to Serendib:)

We decided to try this restaurant, despite some mixed reviews and so glad we did!! Sampled a variety of vegetarian dishes, as well as a prawn entree. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. The service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!
